Lab 10,979 Posted February 22, 2013 Report Share Posted February 22, 2013 I think the lesson in that case if someone breaks into your house, shoot them in the face and not the back..... 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Brewman 1,190 Posted February 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2013 (edited) The travellers that were interviewed for the show weren't out for blood just didn't like the way travellers had being portrayed in the media which is fair enough. They even went on to say the government had let the likes of Padraig Nally down living rurally. Soon after the burglar's family all moved away and weren't looking for revenge.

RubyTex 1,957 Posted February 22, 2013 Report Share Posted February 22, 2013 I think the lesson in that case if someone breaks into your house, shoot them in the face and not the back..... Yep...if they're running away and you give them both barrels, you'll cop it!! So do an Oscar Pistorious shoot first ask questions later Quote Link to post Share on other sites

JohnGalway 1,043 Posted February 22, 2013 Report Share Posted February 22, 2013 I know Padraig, he's not the same man that he was before the incident. A bit of a threatened species, minded his own business, not a bad word about anyone. Singled out and victimised over a long period of time by the scum of the earth. Anyone is capable of anything when they're driven to it. 8 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
