There was a thing on the radio the other week about a boy in east Belfast who attacked someone with a vodka bottle because they were a foreigner. It then proceeded to say the boy had 129 previous convictions. 129.. how do you rehabilitate people like that.

Used to see that all the time in the papers. Remember a girl from Strabane with 2 or 3 hundred. Surely there should be a threshold of say X number of convictions means Y years in jail. Multiple offenders should be getting harsher sentences.

Driving a car illegally is a sure way to wrack up the conviction numbers: no license, no insurance, speeding, defective tyres, driving when banned.  There's 5 separate convictions.

If the cops know you are into drugs/crime, then there is more chance they stop you when driving. The cycle continues of driving offences for serial offenders as they know it kinda means nothing in the overall scheme of their rap sheet.

Exactly. If the number of offences actually count then it might act as a deterrent or put the culprits away.

Easy reason he not in jail, he a informer, that's the type if scum they target, to keep him out of jail.

Doubt it. Sure they're intertwined in ways.

1st rumour is that the Dublin gangs have caught up with this lad.

[Truth hurts]

Was the fella Conway always involved in drugs around Lurgan? Was he ever involved in playing GAA?
Only 26 and getting caught up in this. It's mad altogether.
