Man assaulted and gang raped in West Belfast alleyway

I'm not sure I believe this story.

This is the kind of "rights" that the "gays" really want.

no wonder folks yearn for uzzies - that is the answer for such criminals. Blow - bye bye.

Those damn priests are pissed they can't get a job... It reminds me of a bunch of crazy young cowboys from Texas, true story, they did the same thing to a gay guy as punishment for being gay?? "Now yer gonna git it, see what'cha get for bein' a damn hemisecktual!" WTF. I think what really had their goat up was that there were no sheep around that Friday night. You know why the cowboys move the sheep to the edge of the cliff don't you? It's so the sheep push back, push back, push back. I guess I lived in Texas too long.

Oops it looks like those priests are on the loose again, never mind lock up your daughters, lock up your sons, daughters, wives, sisters, husbands, fathers, mothers, is there depth these depraved priests wont go?

johnc just goes to show how pitiful the news media has become . It's not about the truth anymore it's just some ignorant reporter making a buck (pound)with no need to report the facts and even mislead everyone by being bias to or for someone or something . Such a shame for the freedom of the press .

well first off im from twinbrook. the picture you show is not twinbrook. the man was reportedly raped was a conviced rapist himself. the people who did it were dissident republicans. who beat him not rape him please get your facts right.

IF HE WAS ALOUD TO CARRY A CONSEALED WEAPON OF CHOICE THE OUTCOME WOULD HAVE BEEN MUCH DIFFERENT , THIS IS IN RESPONCE OF MR. SPAINS COMMENTARY .

I question their rwligeon, as Rape is not a sexual attak t is a power attack. I wonder if they are eithe catholics attacking what they consider the eneny, or Protestan whom they consider the enemy? No other reason. It seems the young when in groups have bad ideas, and feel the ned tp "prove" their "manhood" in way's we cannot understand. I was hoping that this was just an aberration, and not reigeous bigotry, on either side.Yes I wonder what is going on in their homes and their heads.No offense meant.

After what the Belfast City Council did to Lennox, I hope West Belfast treats victims with greater respect than it would appear an innocent fmaily pet was given.

kaydog1 you are def sad... "Are we to believe that every Irishman is a potential rapist of males just to not offend the most likely suspect group? " Probably the most idiotic comment ever posted ..... Then again the Catholic priests who raped young boys were really Muslims and pretending to be Catholic priests

Several attackers, seen by the victim, yet no description offered. WHY? I suspect that MADELIENE had the same initial response that I had, which would explain her question about the attackers' religion. This group attack sounds to me like something that a 'tribal group' would feel was acceptable to do to those outside the 'tribe,' the reasoning being that non-tribals aren't considered to be quite 'human' by members of the tribe - a real 'us/them' way of looking at things. The biggest tribal group around in Europe with a history of sexual assaults on non-tribals, is, of course, muslims. Virtually ALL sexual assaults in Norway over the past 5 years have been committed by non-Norwegians, as has been the case in Sweden. England is facing a similar increase in tribal-type violence, mostly directed against women and girls, but some against males - poke around on the internet and you'll see what I mean. So, yes, I DO think the question about religion/description of attackers is germane. Are we to believe that every Irishman is a potential rapist of males just to not offend the most likely suspect group? Why no description AT ALL of the attackers?

Madeline, when you read about rape in the Republic or in the US do you also wonder what religion the rapists are?

@Madeliene: Why would you need to know their religion? Would it make a difference to you? I have a feeling religion isn't a big part of these guys every day lives!

need to knnow more what religeon were they? what the hell is gooing on in their homes?
