"Youre right in a way and I can understand where you're coming from. The murder of Ashling Murphy was indeed treated differently to the murders of Aidan Moffitt and Michael Snee for some reason...not sure why to be honest Is it because they're gay or could it be because online sites were mentioned and maybe people thought it could be on here There's vigils being held in various locations tomorrow and hopefully they start to help inheeling some of the hurt and pain people are feeling. May they rest in peace " Amen. May they both RIP | |||

"2 men murdered in Sligo in homophobic fueled hate filled attack, decapitated and dismembered penis, thoughts Irish swingers? No one speaks out for us from your community why? " I am shocked that this isn't in the media more. Its just horrible. I'd lay money the murderer was dealing with his own homosexual urges and was in a fit of hatred that got misdirected outwards at these men rather than deal with the conflict between what he was taught about homosexuality in his religion and culture, and his own urges. Thats often the case anyway. Its no excuse though. Others manage to break away without murdering anyone. Disgusting | |||

Theres still plenty of memorials out there for poor Aisling but this was most definitely a far worse crime. The level of planning that went into it. | |||

".as regards speaking up ...I would be more concerned that Islamic leaders should speak up and condemn these actions ....." What has Islam got to do with it? Because the accused is Islamic? Seriously?? What religion was the guy who killed Aisling Murphy? Was that a religiously motivated murder? Did you actually read that before you wrote it?? | |||

"Just reading this thread gives me the feeling that because they were men meeting off an internet site for presumed homophobic reasons the general public seem to accept that thats u get In the case of Ashlinn she was a lone woman out on a run attacked randomly and the public outcry to the inital reports fed into a news frenzy which the media were glad to feed For these two unfournate men the inital public reaction didnt preputate the required frenzy for news outlets to feed yes initally it was shocking and with the scant information it was barbacic but the public didnt show the appitite for the details and so the news outlets interest waned It would seem to me the public didnt want the details of these mens backrounds, life stories and ambitions in life where as in Ashlinn case this was sought out. Is it the case of the old shame seeping through that we are not as open as we like to think towards the LGBT coumunity as we like to think we are id say yes but then if it was two women would it have being as muted maybe not I feel for these mens familys and the hurt they will endure through the loss of their loved ones and my toughts go out to them may these two men rest in peace and may the loss of their lives help to open up this country to the reality that is life for people of all races, creeds and excentricities. " I couldn't believe that they didn't reference the Mens sexuality in the report the other night. It went something like "These men had things in Common..." trivial stuff about them but nothing about the fact they were gay. Like it was some shame or some nonsense | |||

Did they really know the person at all etc And the awful details of the fatal encounter if there isn’t a guilty plea immediately etc | |||

"As regards news coverage, it was the main story on most RTÉ news bulletins due a couple of days with Caitríona Perry presenting live from Sligo on the main evening news. As regards speaking out, all normal people would condemn these murders but the majority of people don't have a voice. Anyone I've seen interviewed was horrified and disgusted, as you would expect. As regards vigils and the like, they're great for showing support to families and communities but they make no difference in reality. People who carry out voilent murders are highly unlikely to be dissuaded from murdering someone for fear of a vigil taking place. " I always thought vigils were just as you describe to show support for the families and friends and to remember the person. I never thought they would dissuade anyone from murdering anyone. The people who do these crimes have zero empathy towards others. | |||

" The murder of Ashling Murphy was indeed treated differently to the murders of Aidan Moffitt and Michael Snee for some reason...not sure why to be honest " How? Both have caused uproar, public vigils, crowds gathering and media coverage. Both horrific murders by emigrants too - I’d say they are very similar. If there is more caution it may be because the media is trying to be more careful so as not to give the defendant a ‘tried by the media case’ | |||

"2 horrific murders, 1 confirmed assault and possibly more victims that haven't yet come forward. Yet we don't have the same public outpouring of shock and grief as we had for the recent murder of Aisling Murphy.... 2022 we still have so much more to do in terms of diversity and inclusion... And bring in the hate crime law ASAP.. " Youth, gender and the perception of randomness play a huge part in the difference although there's clearly a lot of shock around these cases as well. As for the hate law, yes by all means. It wouldn't have any impact on crimes like this though as the perpetrator has already broken the most serious laws we have on the statute books. | |||

" The details are only coming out in bits and pieces. Im horrified, sickened and terrified that this sort of twisted evil could happen. Im in grief for the victims and for their loved ones, and communities. | |||

"There has been a lot of coverage in the Northwest. But that is to be expected. But hearing of it elsewhere I had to search for it. Prime example trending on Twitter only 3rd in Ireland. Behind the football scores and Derry girls. The media heavily implied that the first murder was a hate crime , i.e homophobic attack, without saying it was. After the second murder it was much the same. A lot of people in Sligo knew the more grizzly details of the murders but would not mention them at the bequest of Garda , as it may affect the investigation. Unfortunately these two men lost their lives in the most barbaric way. And I have the utmost sympathy for them and their families. I also understand the fear amongst the people from Sligo LGBT+ Community as this was specifically targeted at 3 men for their sexual orientation. As was the attack in Dublin. Many people don't speak about it as when they mention the religious element in motivation for the attacks/murders ,they get called racist (though again this was heavily implied after his arrest). If they say that shouldn't be a factor they are homophobic. People will always take umbrage to something. But let's not lose sight of what happened. Two men lost their lives and another two have had their lives changed forever. The ripple effect of this on their families and friends and the Sligo community and LGBTQ community all over Ireland will be felt for years. There is no explanation for this or solace. Premeditated murder only makes sense to one person, the perpitrator. The need for safety is definitely more and more apparent as we do not live in the 'old Ireland' as many who grew up in the pre lock you doors years will know, Ireland has changed drastically with the crime at every level from all areas rising and becoming worse. But these poor men could not have known what was to happen. People will look for answers but there are none. Absolutely solidarity and allegiance with all who suffer from violence and abuse. As for vigil's,for me personally they mean little but showing support, that's just me. I would be more inclined to ask if someone was ok or needed help going forward if I encountered anyone that seemed in trouble . I believe the days of turning a blind eye must go in all walks of life. This can not happen again to anyone. " Well said!!! | |||
