What message are the courts sending Two assaults on taxi drivers reported last week and not a day in jail.If you hit the girl on the till in Pennys or punched a Judge in his worlplace you would be living rent free for years .Courts declared open season on working taxi drivers with fuck all sentences for attacking us . There are mixed messages coming about this incident it could be assault/murder but there are plenty of security cameras in that area hopefully it will be sorted quickly

I agree, It seems that drink is now a good enough excuse for behavior in a taxi that would not be tolerated in other contexts.

Until the courts send out a message you cant kick the crap out of taxi drivers this will continue .I dropped off a few lads one night in Dolphin House they were complaining that a lot of taxies wont drive into the flats .One of them said We would never attack a taxi driver because you would be certain to get locked up .With all the recent reports of fuck all jail for attacks its an invitation to scum to have a go .

R.I.P.
If it doesn't have a roof sign and door stickers it's not a taxi.

Really sad event that ended a man's life while he was out earning for his family. 

I can relate to the driver that drove past, we have all done it, flying back into town trying to catch the stragglers, gazing at the madness as we drive by, we can all be a bit cynical towards our own sometimes, "whats that gobshite up to". But he did turn back and seen that other taxi drivers had come to his aide, he did the the right thing once his humanity took over from his habitual taxi driver routine.

Sad thing is no one will get done for this, If this happened in the states the perpetrators that allegedly stole the phone would be done for causing his death. The reports are concentrating on a underlying condition not what caused the condition to react.

 So much for looking out for each other .Too busy to help but enough time to ring the paper and make a statement .Whatever happened to common decency .
