I have a strange feeling you were waiting around for a comment like that. Yes of course they do, but not on the scale of the likes of Belfast.

Ok. Well it was said earlier, people rioted in Dublin only a few years ago. Obviously not close to this scale but it does happen.

I don't think it is a religious issue, although Sikhs have sent a call to arms over their TV channel to protect their temples and Moslems have been guarding their Mosques. As young children make up a large proportion of the rioters the appear to be afraid of targeting Catholic church for fear of being molested.

Riots don't happen in Dublin or in Irish cities?

In all honestly I can only remember riots that were caused by Republicans, once at a Love Ulster parade and at the time of Bobby Sands death.

Also, Mayday a few years ago when Bush was in town.

I genuinely can't remember serious rioting in Ireland that was not politically inspired.

Yes, it does. Hardly relevant though I would have thought?

London is simply an absolutly beautiful city, but I'm seriously happy not to live there anymore!

It will give a whole new meaning to 'the streets of London are paved with gold '' quote and to those who thought it was the only place to be ...this is the reality and the darker side of swinging London .

I am guessing that the majority of all this will not be covered by insurance as it is a civil order issue?

Under UK law, once this is officially admitted to be rioting and civil disturbance the state is liable for 100% of the compensation. It's something the government has been suggesting they plan on changing but it still stands at present.

My heart tells me that the normal citizens of Dublin would on mass stop the scum from taking over. I pray that I am right

I will repeat my post:

1. Never, never, never, ever make a joke or hint about eugenics. Eugenics is a crime against humanity, it is a disgusting and vile action.

2. There is nothing wrong with looting in desperate times. Who says who really "owns" anything? The government? If you really put all your faith in the government like that then you are a ridiculous fool.

ok, so no jokes about eugenics. how about a licensing system to reproduce??

That was the only time i can ever remember a riot in Ireland of any scale. Outside of Dublin, nothing is ever likely to happen.

I think the cops are afraid to go in hard because cameras will be recording there every move and they will face a court case and get sacked at the end of it!

Maybe meeting Cobra will sort things.

More pics of the riots.

All the pictures are bad but number 23 really is sad and depressing.
Shame on them, just shame on them!

Fantastic, then the children will have no parents.

if well targeted they shouldnt die of their injuries (well, the men atleast)...and the 10-15 year olds may aswell be left orphaned..the parents are clearly not doing their job of tucking them in to bed well before midnight..
