A taxi driver picked two people up, male and female and they just started stabbing him. :eek: They stabbed him times in the head and 29 times elsewhere on his body when he refused to hand over his car keys.
He was shown on tv3 news and he said it was very fortunate they didn't get a vital organ of his or he'd be dead. The girl is the one who did most of the stabbing and is said to have shown least remorse afterwards.... even indicating she wished they got him more. It is like the Ukrainian murder of the man with the hammer except this man miraculously survived.
How can people this bad exist...? :confused: You would think after being stabbed once or twice that they could have thrown him out and made off with the car. God knows what they even thought they were going to do with the car. The word "scumbag" is nearly too good a word for these guys, even a "scumbag" generally has some excuse or story even if they did an appaling crime.
I think the reason these people are like is because drugs have fucked up their brains so much that they are no longer able to think or perceive things properly. These are no ordinary humans that do these things... they're Frankensteinian creatures, only part human.
[I]A Limerick taxi driver says he was sure he was going to die after being stabbed 49 times and left in a remote part of county Limerick by two passengers who hijacked and later burned out his taxi.

Why did you remove the names? They have been jailed, it's all public information.

03-06-10, 17:41berI believe its done so the precedent is set that if names we would rather not be printed areprinted that we can remove those tooQuote:

03-06-10, 18:20WestsidexLook, the names were removed keeping in line with the rules of the site. Links are fine, names nope. These are the rules. "The Sweetie" (reg tm)was even called out for posting names by mistake in a copy and paste. Contact her if you want this rule removed. Its all the one to me either way. I wont loose sleep over it.Quote:

i disagree that 'drugs' is a cause for such depraved behaviour.
'people' that live this way have been taught no better in their invaribly loveless, fear filled homes.
a loose welfare system is a sure way to encourage those who lack parenting skills, to breed.
if somebody does not learn to value themselves-they are unable to empathise with others. -
03-06-10, 22:49WestsidexAgree 100%. Drugs are being used as an excuse for everything now. There are plenty drug addicts that wouldnt do this.Quote:

People have all different kinds of reactions to drugs. For some people they can handle them fine, for other extremely unfortunate people their body can't deal with the drug. Don't think that if you are given the wrong, extremely damaging drug for a long time that you wouldn't do the same Westie. -

But it still doesnt mean they wouldnt have done the same thing if they weren't on drugs.

Cocaine and heroine are the wrong drug for everyone and fucks up everyone who uses them but it still doesnt mean that they would do something like this.
Before drugs came along it was cannabis caused ppl to be like this and before that it was drink did it. Maybe they would be like that anyway.
dreadful drugs,

I respect your opinions Westside, but excepting some extremely rarely circumstances nobody ever did crap like this years ago. Now it barely even makes the news.
There were murderers, out of hundreds of years there were some heinous murderers. They could have been intoxicated in other ways. It is NOTHING like the frequency and brutality they occur today.
Blaming drugs is not bullshit, it's the only reason people ever get so vicious. You wonder how humans can do this sort of thing? Well there's your answer. Almost any random act of butchery that occurs, I gaurantee you drugs are involved. -

every day all over the world most people doing their chosen drug are enjoying/occupied by it.
these have thought no bad stuff-wouldn't hurt a fly. so this is the experience of drugs for the masses.
now violence is also linked to legal alcohol, exposure in the military can create violent people
but that was not the issue here but disfunctional people. Ill bet wednesdays Uk shooting horror
was not drug related, the serial killer who was charged in the Uk last week -i doubt there was a 'drogsh' issue
there, either.
empathy is essential and is learnt by age 3 or is not learned-damaged person in society?
this is my belief, based on my experience-ive done plenty of drugs and could never treat anyone in such a manner. -
03-06-10, 23:53An donWhat a crock , thats like saying years ago nobody asked an escort to fuck them in arse with a dildo . time moves onQuote:

No, I am telling you, no person who hasn't taken psychoactive drugs would do this (legal or illegal, prescribed or unprescribed).
You had the odd serial killer out of decades/hundreds of years previous to this, now you have these serial killers and vicious murders/near murders coming up all the time.
Homicides may have gone down since the 80s, but senseless butchery of innocent people is going way up. There are statistics that back this up, things like this would never happen years ago. -

why are you vouching for so many you've never met?
do you know much about unloved kids growing up in dysfunctional homes these have problems
with drugs because of the dysfunction-capitalist society does not need people who cannot serve help/others
and the drugs occupy them but drink does also. drugs make people feel good most of the time thats why they are popular
jack the ripper horrified the british victorians with butchery back 100 years. two men were stabbed to death in the pheonix park around these times also. the powerful media filter of 'drogsh' (pronounced culchie like and cynically) they dont under stand either nice girls.
so september 11 was some dudes on drugs, the IRA get high ETA etc?
you see what you wanna see-your theory is flawed and even if you were right
what you going to do- stop drugs? now there an idea-how about the rain too? -

04-06-10, 08:10VioletteAll of this may be true, but it doesn't sound as if we were dealing with pillars of the community to begin with! These people have some other issues as well; drug use in my opinion is the least of them.Quote:
