Didn't read the article the post had, but seen the front page in the newsagents. Cant remember the headline (think Hell was one of the words), but it just struck me as real sensational, gutter press, style reporting.

I seen the same story in one of the other papers - Democrat or DL News? and it was a bit OTT by the looks of things. Seemed to quote 2 individuals only and if it was as bad as was being made out well it wasnt reflected in any photos that were published.

I had expected to see broken windows, smashed cars, maybe even a half burnt out house but no.

I know a guy that used to teach some of the kids from that area in National school in Ballyshannon, and it seemed that the kids were totally out of control. But the headline seems OTT alright, considering that its being compared to the likes of South Hill in Limerick; Ballymun or Darndale in Dublin. All it really does is reflects the authority's inability to cope with with a problem which seems to be caused by a handful of youths

Talking about baseball bats reminded me of this joke

An 18 year old itinerant lad gets a job in a sports shop. The boss explains the selling tactics to him and tells him to always make sure the customer gets the right product for its intended use.

A bit later a young lady enters the shop and the boss tells the itinerant lad to observe as he sells the right item. She asks for a pair of tennis shoes and the boss says: "Are they for clay or grass" ?

She indicates grass and the boss picks out the correct type of shoes for her.

Some time later a man enters the shop and the boss sends the young lad to serve him.

Lad: "can I help you"

Man: I am looking for a baseball bat.

Lad: "Is it for a wedding or a funeral"

Well, that's all the Post is IMO.
