nasty mofo's.

Belfast has witnessed one of its most horrific ever punishment attacks.

A man was crucified by being nailed to wooden posts in the Dunmurry area, in an assault believed to be linked to car crime.


The 23-year-old was taken to hospital semi-conscious with his hands still impaled on the fencing after firefighters cut him free.

Battered

He had also been battered about the legs with a blunt instrument, possibly spiked with nails. Surgeons are battling to save his hands.

Security sources described the attack as horrific, even by the brutal standards of punishment beatings in Northern Ireland.

The victim was found in the staunchly loyalist Seymour Hill area of Dunmurry, just a few miles from his home in the nationalist Poleglass estate on the outskirts of south west Belfast.

But the officer leading the hunt for the gang who savagely inflicted the injuries said he did not believe it was a sectarian attack.

Superintendent Gerry Murray said: "I have never come across anything so barbaric.

"This is a young man who was set upon by an unknown group who brutally beat him and then nailed him to a post."

The victim had been dragged into a field and beaten before he was taken down a lane and nailed, by his hands, to a wooden stile.

There is a difference between shooting someone that is:

a) stealing your car
b) threatening to kill you

than crucifying, impaling, hitting with blunt objects possibly spiked with nails, etc. If you can't see the difference, you have some issues. One is an act of self defense, and one is an act of all out brutality and cruelty.
 
One's surely worse for the one getting hurt than the other, vigilante justice is never right.

So if the guy that was crucified had been trying to steal your car before he was beaten and impaled, it would be ok with you? Just trying to figure out where you stand.
 
proof you dont wanna fuck with Irish people. that was going a bit far but some people are really sadistic. and cruel. so sad that humans devot themselves to torture and killing each other.
 
Was the guy caught stealing a car, or what? It says linked to a car crime, but it doens't specify exactly what he was doing.
 
Well, I'm just wondering, if the guy was resorting to violence, eg. hijacking the cars, not just stealing them, and it had been a problem in the area, I can sort of understand the residents getting a little hostile with him if they caught him in the act. People by nature are rather protective. Granted, I think the nailing him to a fence was going a bit too far, but still.

NOTHING justifies nailing a person to a fence. NOTHING. I can't believe you're even thinking a BIT towards justifying the motives of the people who did this.
Beating the crap out of somebody, mhhk..not great, but well, shit happens. Even shooting somebody in self defence, that happens.

Beating somebody up, and nailing him to a fence: fucking barbarian.

"a bit too far" is like the understatement of the year :rolleyes:
 
I'm sorry, but that all depends on what he was doing. I don't know what he was doing, the story provides very little as to what motivated the gang to do this to the guy, so I have to use my imagination.

Yes, it's barbaric, but you don't think that in the heat of the moment you wouldn't be persuaded into doing something as barbaric? Maybe not, I can't rule it out completely myself. Especially if the guy had hurt members of my family. Which, if I understand correctly, Irish people pretty well consider thier neighbors family.

Actually, NO. I can really understand that in certain situation something can snap in a persons head, and that they do something they wouldn't normally do. Like somebody shooting another person in anger, or beating the crap out of him.

But nailing a person to a fence takes a hell of a lot more time, so you can't talk about "the heat of the moment" anymore. Like you're acting for 10 minutes, completely unaware of what you're doing? Not likely.
And if it wasn't unaware, then it was still a sick and barbaric thing to do.

No i can't see how anyone could see any valid reason for such a barbaric action.
