Stabbing in Limerick.

Shock, horror, bewilderment, disbelief, gasp, surprise. :eek:
No, it can't be true, not in Limerick.

Well things have definitely improved here - this week has seen scumbags and dodgy characters not even going after each other; they're harming and killing THEMSELVES now.....

Long may that continue......prefer to have an injured / dead scumbag than law-abiding bystander; and if they keep it up we'll be sorted in no time!

Ah lads don't take it to heart. It's only banter. Don't be getting your Janet Raeger's in a twist.

Just look at the abuse the Dubs put up with. According to you non-Dubs we are all classed as one or more of the following:
West Brit
Mugger
Anto
Skanger
Drug dealer
Rugger Buggers...
etc etc
Never a good word said. Need I go on?

Sure Limerick has a gang problem, so has Dublin and every major town and city worldwide. Unfortunately there have been a number of high-profile incidents in the Limerick area that paint the city in a bad light. We all know the bad guys are a minority and that the vast population of Limerick are decent hard-working people, same as anywhere else. What I can't understand is why the Gardaí aren't getting the information, via the confidential hotline, to get these thugs off the streets. It's in your own hands.

You may be of that view Hagar but only last week two people, one in Castlebar and one in Dublin, actually apologised to me on learning that we lived in Limerick.

I am going to have to learn to tell them in I live North Tipperary.(where I actually live)

Fair enough point, what i dont understand is, the Gardai know who is committing the crimes, but they just dont have the evidence to put these felons away.

Instead they get them for "minor" crimes, its possibly the only way of locking them up for a bit, each time they re-offend, the judge is reminded of these crimes and their sentence gets longer and longer.

think they have a fairly strong hunch on who committed this one. He was caught "red-handed" :pac:

Well I know that in the past even when someone has made a complaint to the Gardai an the perpetrator of the crime is explicitly known and has been caught red handed doing the crime/assault...

That the Gards often advise people not to progress with indivdiual straight-up charges against these thugs as its not worth the hassle/intimidation/heartache that will result in going to court etc etc.

They also know that very little sentence will be passed and the innocent individual could be putting themselves in the firing lin for future hassles regardless..

This country needs a zero tolerance policy... But we also need the prison/detention spaces necessary for this policy to be effective and actually followed up.

I also dont understand why measures such as greater visible Garda presence late at night (Fri/Sat) are not implemented as a deterrent. Everyone knows that there will be hassle of some form near the chippers/fast food outlets at 2-4 am every week... Why not have 4/5 Gards patrolling the street at that time!??
