Mann, 19, nach Streit um Lärm wegen Totschlags inhaftiert

5 years, Jesus wept

It reads like the victim swung the first punch and Murphy then punched him once.

It’s an awful tragedy but this type of thing happens hundreds of times every weekend if not more and thankfully usually not with the same consequences.

Men need to stop drinking so much. Nearly all these incidents have alcohol as a contributing factor.

I’m not joking, I hope that young lad never ever gets a moments peace. I wish all the bad luck on him. The cunt who filmed it has blood on his hands too.

I hope the sentence is appealed and he serves an actual appropriate sentence. When justice isn’t delivered it can make families never fully feel satisfied that their family members life meant anything.

That sentence is a joke and is frankly frightening. It might as well give people a free ticket to just go around killing people. Ireland has a very serious problem with extremely aggressive stuff like this and that kind of sentencing just underlines exactly why.

5 years!! Poor lad’s life is only worth 5 years!

Very very lenient sentence for killing someone

Ryan Weir Gibbons was a distant relative of mine. Nobody in the family is happy with the sentence. It’s another case of a judge seeing a young lad and feels they shouldn’t punish them too harshly because they have their whole life ahead of them as if the victim didn’t either.

Ryan was 29 when it happened. He too had his whole life ahead of him, but apparently that life was only worth 5 years. The judge says the young lad who did this was „remorseful“ yet any of my family that attended the court earlier today and the other week would tell you he was far from remourseful. His family has also been causing problems for Ryan’s family too, primarily on social media, as if it was them and Ryan who ruined their sons life, not his own actions.

5 years for manslaughter seems very soft. And let’s not forget with remission a prison year is ten months. So that’s 40 months he’ll serve max. Not to mention getting let out a bit early on temporary release near the end of his sentence because the prisons are over capacity. He’ll probably do about 3 actual calendar years.

Yeah ok its a lenient sentance, drunk kid hits somebody and they hit their head and died ! 100% that should be punished harshly. But this was very unlucky for both involved . The amount of little and big scumbags with multiple convictions in this country that never see jail time, that have hit people and thank fuck those people are lucky enough to survive the encounter . The justice system here is absolutely no deterant to throwing punches. Im glad that this kids got time but until we start giving serious jail time to cunts that take this risk on the regular its just going to repeat itself !

I assume that the deceased family will be waiting on the killer release to get him.

I’m going to be very careful with my words here, and condolences go out to the Ryan’s poor family. However, I see people talking about how lenient the sentence is and I’d just like to add another perspective, some people are confusing killing with murder. Yes Ryan killed that lad, but he’s not a murderer, how many people have punched someone in the face with equal force and they HAVEN’T fallen back and died and then as a result they face no legal repercussions? Then those same individuals are walking around society as free people in the dozens with none of you even realising. Punching someone doesn’t show intent to kill or cause any serious harm, again, please don’t misconstrue this as me defending the scumbag who punched him, I’m just trying to help yous understand how the Judge came to that sentence.

That is awful for everyone involved. 5 years is too light even though he didnt mean to kill the lad. I know someone involved in a similar situation a few years back and both families lives are destroyed. Guy who gave the punch was drunk, not a scumbag and is now in and out of prison. Has become an absolute degenerate druggy. His family have his life sentence but the victims family carry another life sentence. Sentencing in ireland is flawed beyond belief. Rip to that young man

It’s becoming a bit of a trend for those associated with Leinster rugby at this stage. Some random academy player thinking he’s in a position of doing a „Do you know who I am“ to a stranger should probably be a concern for the rugby club and the IRFU and what exactly they think the status of being a youth player at the Leinster means.

Leinster Rugby youth player. As someone who is a Leinster fan and played rugby at a rugby school, no fucking surprise at all. Rugby lads can be absolute scum of the earth entitled little shits who think that because they voluntarily give themselves brain damage on a regular basis and their daddy drives an X5 theyre mr big man and completely above anyone else.

Time and time again this country fails in bringing justice. What a sick fucking joke.
