Dublin threads

Just for those of us who go for a holiday in Paris or any other monster European city and then post up about what a kip Dublin is, take in to account that you are a tourist and you mainly stick to the tourist trail.

Check this out!

"Yesterday rampaging youths took to the streets for a second successive night in the suburbs, setting fire to dozens of cars and buildings. At least 77 officers were injured."

I think only a few of the police officers were shot.

i tell you what really grates me, and this is one of the reasons i left france. first of all that article is seriously not telling the truth, and although it's impossible for anyone to know the whole truth, as in what really happened, we can certainly look at the facts.
fact: 2 15 year old kids stole a motorbike, and were riding as fast as possible on it without helmets
fact they had a collision with a police car
fact they both died

more than that i don't know.

the fact that there are now riots in the suburbs is no surprise, just like in 2005 because these guys are seriously bored and have nothing better to do, but it just makes me sad to think these guys are wrecking their own cars, shops, jobs etc on their own doorstep. they've now put 100 people of their own community out of jobs. they've just burnt their neighbors car who relies on it everyday to get to work. i would have a lot more respect for these kids if they had the balls to take their fight to paris, get organised and fight the power, but as it stands they're just fcukin morans who deserve every rubber bullet they receive

I'm with you Shrapnel. My point was about the people who come on here pissing and moaning about what a sh*thole Dublin is when they have come back from a weekend in Barcelona or Paris or Madrid. Its only when you live in another major European capital that you realise how bad things can get. Just because you have walked around a few streets looking at nice stalls and eating great food doesn't mean you have "experienced" a city.
