Muggings in Dublin 8

Lady Luck · 13-06-2009 1:43am #1

Has anybody experienced a mugging in Dublin 8? I used to consider where I live quite safe. But yesterday I was mugged and beaten. Thankfully they only stole my handbag with 50 euros, makeup and my camera in it (my phone was dead so I had it charging in my house). They bruised me too though. I have a bruise on my neck thats more unsightly than painful. I was so shaken for it that I do not see myself going out at night for the forseeable future. Can I just say these two men who did this are bastards and I hope they get caught.

But it raises an interesting argument: is crime on the rise in your area?

I don't usually put forward an argument with a question mark on the end of it.

And no, not that I've noticed.

Thank you peoples for the sympathy. I am so distraught, but I'm trying not to let it show because who wants to show weakness, yes?

I just think its disgraceful. My friend Leigh got mugged too a few months ago where she lives (Dublin 1).

Yes but the Gardai said there's nothing they could do about it. I just gave them the description of my bag and camera. I couldn't see the men's faces because it was dark and I was taking a shortcut though a dark street.

I live in Dublin 1 and it's calmed down loads around here over the last few years plus just saying D1 is a bit vague. I got mugged in Tara street train station so I could say I got mugged in D2 but the people who did it were from nowhere near town so does that really say anything about the dangers of D2.
Also I mean there can be a huge range in the safety of areas withina postcode like theres a world of difference between Clontarf and Eastwall(no offence intended here) and the are both D3 so don't think it's fair to tarnish a whole postcode based on some possible problems in one part of it.

Hope that all came across how I intended it to I'm pretty shattered here.

I didnt say you deserve it. I'm sorry to hear what happened, but you cant assume anything (in your case, a dark street) these days

Lady Luck · 13-06-2009 2:06am

Thank you Samaurai Kebab. I understand what you are saying, but I believe Dublin 8 as a whole is just getting more violent.

:pac: You must be new to after hours.

Anyways, next time avoid dark streets and don't look distant or unaware. Look straight on and confident.

Lady Luck · 13-06-2009 2:14am

Thank you so much for the leniancy. I would be lost without these boards.

Yeah I guess it wasn't the brightest idea in the world to walk home through a dark allyway pissed. Its a horrifically stereotypical mugging really.

In future I will look confident and alert. thank you for the support peoples. xx

Having not read the entire thread, I'm going to go on and assume that no-one has yet said that you should change your yousername.
