Incarcerato l’uomo che ha dato fuoco all’auto della Garda durante i disordini di Dublino

Six and a half years! 

Now *that’s* a spicy prison sentence!! 

> saying what he did was completely “out of character”

He has [five previous convictions](https://www.breakingnews.ie/ireland/man-who-set-garda-car-on-fire-during-dublin-riots-said-it-was-spur-of-the-moment-thing-1697161.html), including two public order offences, and threatening and abusing behaviour. Every one a fully suspended sentence, of course.

What do you reckon the average profile of these rioters is going to be? I’m going to guess from a poorer area, probably stopped going to school at 15, very rarely if ever had a job, no skills, and various priors for petty crime.

By no means making any excuses but coming from one of these areas, something needs to be done to keep kids in these areas engaged in the education system and society itself so we can try curb the cycle of scumbaggery.

I’m guessing his remorse was not so genuine

Great news.

Shouting “scumbags” at gardai while being led away 😂😂 the irony!!

Declan Donaghey from William Street in Dublin who pleaded guilty to arson, criminal damage and riot later admitted to gardaí that he “made himself look like a scumbag”.
