Mann wurde wegen des Angriffs auf den Grünen-Führer Roderic O’Gorman bei einem entsetzlichen homophoben Angriff während der Wahlkampagne mit Gefängnis verschont

I am glad he has been spared jail. 

Nice of him to wear his work wear to court. No such thing as bad publicity, eh?

Would prison not be a bit extreme, like it’s not a violent attack. Now for yes an agree he should not lay a hand on him, but there was no bodily harm, like it’s not a crime to be a dick no?

Going by the logo on his jacket he seems to work for a home retrofitting company. That industry is thriving because of the Greens work in government. He should have been shaking O’Gorman’s hand.

> Green Party leader Roderic O’Gorman was grabbed by the shoulders, called a “big fairy” and told to leave an estate as he was canvassing during the general election, a court heard.

But a bunch of people on here were certain this couldn’t be homophobic.

Did anybody read the article? Sorry, what I meant to say was could anyone read the article?

ROG has a shady past but this is inexcusable

Jailed for pushing someone, calling them a big fairy and breaking their clip board. I have seen numerous horrific assault that did not result in jail….what’s the difference?
