These kind of stories from Northern Ireland were pretty common back in the day when people got on the wrong side of one of the paramilitaries. Hopefully it's a one-off....
Bushmills: Man nailed to fence in 'sinister attack'
A man has been taken to hospital following a serious assault in a car park in Bushmills, County Antrim in the early hours of Sunday morning.
The man in his 20s was found nailed to a fence, with a nail through each hand, shortly after midnight.
Two vans, one belonging to the injured man, were found on fire in the car park near Dundarave Park.
Police said paramilitary involvement was one key line of inquiry.
Graffiti on nearby public toilets has been linked to the assault and arson.
The Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) said the man was left with potentially life-changing but not life-threatening injuries.
Police said it was a "sinister attack."
"We live in a democratic society where there is no justification for this. Those responsible brutalise their own communities and control others through intimidation and violence."

Maybe he thought it was Easter?
Actually yesterday was Easter for those who follow the Orthodox tradition. There were perohys, horilka and polkas a plenty around these parts all day yesterday.

I don’t think the poor chap was nailed to that fence in as part of a passion play in celebration of Orthodox Easter. Something far more sinister was at play in this incident.
