This graffiti on the High Court Building in Armagh Street is the latest in a series of spray-can paint attacks this year. The slogans were on the front of the High Court building, the adjoining gates, and the side of the building. Messages included “male justice stinks,” “lynch rapist,” and “dead men don’t rape.” A man was sentenced to three years jail last Friday for the rape of a 16-year-old girl. Last month three women who admitted painting slogans about a judge on the wall of the High Court were sentenced to community work.
