I’m just going to give a little description on an event that has happened in Ireland this week because I think it’s important to share but trigger warnings for homophobia, assault and just general injustice

Two years ago Natasha O’Brien was beaten unconscious to the point where she thought she was going to die by an Irish Defence Forces soldier named Cathal Crotty and he then boasted about it on social media, saying “Two to put her down, two to put her out.” This week he has avoided any jail time due to him being described as a “professional” and “disciplined” officer and that the attack was “out of character” and (of course) because of “the consequences it would have on his life and his career”. Crotty and his friends were shouting homophobic slurs at people in O’Connell street, Dublin when Natasha O’Brien and her friend approached them to politely tell them to cut it out. He then assaulted her. She sustained broken nose, concussion, swelling and bruising during the attack. He is still currently serving in the army. SHE had to leave her job in the aftermath of the attack due to her blacking out because of the damage of the attack and panic attacks she got from fear of meeting Crotty again during one of her shifts.

He is a soldier, he is the one supposed to protect us yet he violently attacked a woman and had no problem yelling the f-slur. The judge said “In fairness to him, he has come to court and publicly admitted his wrongdoing, and he has made a public acknowledgement of his criminality,” BUT HE WILL FACE NO CONSEQUENCES FOR HIS ACTIONS OTHER THAN A €3,000 FEE!

I cannot explain to you how let down I feel by the justice system right now.I’m currently looking for a petition to link but for now I just wanted to share this because it is unfortunately not a rare occurrence but it is still shocking.

Roses are red,

Priests are anointed.

Men have my standards on the ground,

But I’m still disappointed

Let me get this straight

He beat up a woman, which she could have died yet the government didn’t do anything because HE COULD LOSE HIS JOB IN THE ARMY WHEN SHE LOST HERS

HE ONLY ADMITTED GUILT BECAUSE THERE WAS FOOTAGE OF HIM BEATING HER

HE’S STILL FREE AND SHES IN FEAR AND JOBLESS

tbh if I saw someone start beating the shit out of Cathal Crotty, not only would I join in, we would be each others alibi

If we plead guilty though maybe the judge won't want to ruin our futures and we'll get off with a €3000 fine!

(for context, Cathal Crotty, an Irish soldier, was shouting homophobic slurs in the streets of Limerick in May 2022 when Natasha O'Brien, a passerby, politely asked him to stop. He then proceeded to attack her brutally and later bragged to his friends that it took "two to put her down, two to put her out".

Natasha thought she was going to die, and she ended up with a concussion so severe that she was deemed "high risk" for a BRAIN BLEED. She suffered from PTSD and eventually lost her job as a result.

Crotty's sentencing concluded yesterday and Judge Tom O'Donnell said that although Crotty had initially blamed the attack on Natasha and said she'd started it, he "must be given credit" for pleading guilty and asked Natasha if she understood "the significance" of his guilty plea because it meant she didn't have to go through the trauma of an 18 month trial, as if she hadn't already had two years of suffering.

O'Donnell then said that if he imprisoned Crotty, his army career would be over, his future would be ruined and that “In fairness to him, he has come to court and publicly admitted his wrongdoing, and he has made a public acknowledgement of his criminality."

Cathal Crotty got a three year SUSPENDED sentence and was ordered to pay €3000 compensation to Natasha O'Brien.

He is still an active member of the Irish Defence Forces, although they have said that “Any conviction in a civilian court may have implications for the retention and service of members of the Defence Forces, as stipulated in Defence Forces Regulations" and it is thought they will begin the court martial process soon.)

so yeah. Judge Tom O'Donnell and Cathal Crotty have made it known that in this country, a man can brutally attack a woman, cause her to immense suffering, cause her to lose her job, and he will still have both his own job and his own life available to him for the low price of three grand.
