    Middle of the afternoon, broad daylight
    Girl in a punto on her own
    stopped in traffic across from emo
    4 lads with bats attacked the car, made shi*e of it, dragged her out, beat her half to death, left her there for all to see
    Broad daylight. City Centre. Monday afternoon.


    Limerick, your a lady...............:rolleyes:

    The girl that owns the pink car was living or working in the area as the car got parked up near Emo every day. It stood out to me most days because of the colour.

    Is that the roaring pink punto you see about town? its usually parked down from the park, seen it loads of times passing there not a hard car to miss. thats mad, wonder is it a bigger thing than a random attack, dont think 4 guys with bats just happened to attack a car for no reason, this is Limerick after all though.

    Because it will eventually happen, time to get the excuses out of the way:

    could have happened anywhere.
    Dublin media are biased.
    I didnt see it so it didnt happen.
    Limerick has nice parts as well.
    Arent we great at rugby though.
    Dont be so negative, Dublin is worse.

    Don't know if it is the same one as down by the park. The one I am talking about is a real girly car and down up in that manner.

    To be honest I tend to avoid using that EMO station since they had the trouble with the guys they barred.

    Those guys came back and set the owner's jeep and the manager's car on fire while the shop was open for business, and there seems to be a scum element around it on a fairly regular basis now heckling and harassing customers that try to use the place.

    Just not worth getting petrol there if some scrote is going to touch your car whilst you are in the shop.

    Yeah thats the one, bright pink with pink everything inside it as well, very girly. Its usually parked outside those flats across from the Emo station, wouldnt suprise me if theres trouble there theres a family who were notorious for causing problems in St Marys Park living right there, rehoused and causing trouble, regeneration at its finest.

    Wow a car-jacking with sustained assault by a gang of four unmasked individuals in broad daylight, in heavy lunchtime traffic.

    - Any arrests expected?

    Scary stuff. Thats probably the busiest route into the city, surely there were a multitude of eye witnesses?
    Dodgy part of town there really. Plus alot of undesirables hanging about that house just up from the station. I think its a halfway house of some sort.

    The brother lives down near Portleys

    He said it happened yesterday too. Maybe it happened twice...

    Scobe or not, this is just plain wrong :mad:

    Its ok to be disgusted by acts of mindless violence against People in your City.

    - Definitely would be wrong to hush it up and pretend it never happened like used to happen on here before People got sick of defending Limerick against all odds.

    Was passing Authurs Quay yesterday with the gf, out on a nice stroll.

    Noticed a car with a man inside pulled right outside the front entrance in a blue banger. There was a woman with a young child roaring at him at the top of her voice.

    "Well your mother smells like the clap, and shes a f***ing prostitute"

    Would love to have stayed and watched but we went about our business.

    If that's the pink Fiat Punto that was covered with a sheet this morning, outside the buildings at the corner of Lelia St and Clare street, then the attack didn't happen yesterday afternoon - the car was there with all it's windows smashed in yesterday morning at approximately 8.10am when I passed it.

    The car is always parked on Clare St so whoever owns it must live there. I didn't notice the car there yesterday morning but that's not to say it wasn't there. But I did see it yesterday afternoon, every window was broken in and the pannelling was dented.

    I pity the poor girl if the car is anything to go by.

    Indeed, now you find you have to defend your right to be appalled that this kind of thing is happening in your own town, the "all places have problems" excuse just doesnt wash anymore, problems that other towns face arent my concern, its my concern when someone gets attacked outside my door which happened a few times during the course of living in the city centre for years. I really wish I could have set up a video camera pointing out my flat window so I could have shown people just exactly what goes on (mostly unreported) in this city late at night. I couldnt care less about statistics, population ratios, blah blah blah, excuses are all they are, I'll take what I've seen with my own two eyes over what some politician spins any day.

    Completely agree, we clearly don't have enough time to find out all the facts so we'll just run with whatever pub gossip comes to hand. Anyhow, I'll bring the torches, can you grab some petrol and pitchforks?

    You're right, theres probably a perfectly good reason people were battering a car with bats while someone was inside it, maybe they were trainee panel beaters who needed something to practice on

    Could well be. You're sure there was someone inside it now? I heard it was 17 polish gangsters all of whom are part time ninjas, mate of mine works in Portley's, he's in the know.

    Are you insinuating that there wasnt a girl in it and she wasnt pulled out and given a hammering...?
    Because there was and she did, and thats a fact.
    But hey, see no evil, hear no evil eh Amazo :rolleyes:
