Finally a feel good story for once

Can't do time dont do crime father must be proud

Justice served 🙂

I have very little sympathy, if he was stealing to feed himself, might have a little more, but knowingly going out with a gang to commit crimes and terrorising people, especially old people is unacceptable.

No harm

Whatever 🤷‍♂️ Neeext!

Irish folks are barbaric

Nice one

What a terrible crime to commit.. so sorry for the victim who was burgled

Oh dear, what a pity. Never mind.

My thoughts and prayers are with his 97 yr old victim.

Grand. Costs less.

And your man was claiming disability benefits whilst burgling this poor mans home. No loss at all.

He is hardly a loss is he?, ransacking a 97 year old man's home and basically ruined the remaining few years that poor man had on this earth. What an utter dirt bag. Good riddance kid....you won't be missed.

Illicit drugs injection apparently.

No justice, no peas, did the Fat Ape choke on its cheese?

No point crying over spilt milk..

No great loss to society, one less to terrorise the elderly

What no foul play. The guy was 23. What the hell happened? Hope his family don't read the disgusting comments. Thoughts are with them at this difficult time.

Boo hoo

Good.
