    Why are comments opened on this and never on the Anglo stories or even cases happening in the US. Makes no sense.

    @Michael Geraghty: It’s a suitably broad section to cover any number of offences. Pathetic trolling attempt.

    @B9xiRspG: Seriously Jim, why don’t you read up and the court system in Ireland and stop trying to derail every single comment section. It’s juvenile.

    @Kal Ipers: Also, I’m not sure if you can either read or count, but I’ve never said “men are the only ones attacking people”, I’ve consistently said that the vast majority of violent crimes are committed by men. Good grief, go back to school.

    To have a dig at someone, using a tactic of theirs that you disapprove of, is silly and counterproductive. Let’s build bridges lads and ladies. We’re all in this together whether we like it or not.

    @Veronica: You have dismissed women committing violence and hid behind saying men are vastly more responsible. While doing this you ignore they are more likely to be the victim. You amuse me as an example of sexist person who is convinced they are correct by ignoring reality.
    If you expressed these views in a paying job you would be rightly fired.
    You are a terrible hypocrite who calls out people for not posting comments on other articles but don’t like it when done to you.
