Two teenagers have appeared in court in connection with an attack on two Canadian tourists in west Belfast.
The youths, aged 16 and 17, were charged with robbing the brother and sister of £20 and a piece of jewellery.

They were released on bail of £200 each and told they must live outside west Belfast.

The man was hit on the head with a baseball bat and needed stitches. The woman was pushed against a wall. They returned home to Canada on Monday.

Why can't the names of these young adults be publicised? Why are their addresses not reported? Will they be publicised after they've been let off (it was all fuelled by drink and drugs).

I for one would like to see these young adults put in stocks for a day or two and let people pelt them with tomatoes or very old eggs.

And feck their human rights. Their parents should be forced to pay back double the money stolen.



Good to get that off my chest.
