Well, for all their guff and BS about an unending protest, they seem to have lost the stomach for it on Day 2.

Cretins.

Protest is in Town today

I'm sorry, but I simply don't agree with that and would rather my post was not misquoted in this way.

Whilst I agree BLM is important, it is equally important that it is not hijacked by a group of angry kids. Lets leave colour aside for a moment...

It looks like cops did everything possible over 30 min to calm this situation, If this guy had of dropped the knife at any stage the outcome would have been different, the guy looks like he had a death wish, regardless of his mental health the cops have to deal with the imminent threat to life in real time.

I totally agree, and that was the point I made in my post. This isn't a BLM issue, it's a simple criminal issue which ideally would have had a better outcome. I was merely responding to the post above deriding BLM in general.

The Gardai took the correct action here.

Anybody acting criminally with a deadly weapon and not doing what the Gardai instruct them to do deserve what they get.

The BLM angle is bollox.

The mental health excuse is bollox too, his family badly let him by not getting him help and and what the **** is he doing with a machete.

Unfortunately anyone can pick up a knife.
We will know more after investigation, he may well have needed help, I don't know but I would guess no normal person would carry on like he did.

I do fear we are going down the American black hole where it will be a white versus black mentality which in turn makes things much much worse....

I would swear that's what they want and the NGOs too as money is to be made.

How many people on this thread have a machete? I would guess few if any.

I literally just Google them, “Machete for sale Ireland” and they’re readily available. The cheapest is less than €30 and available from a supplier in the Munster area.
Kind of makes you think!

You could order a tank if you want.

The point is most people don't have them.

Context is everything. You can get all sorts of things and tools. But if you have them out of context. Like in a shop or a park and no valid reason to have them they are deemed an offensive weapon.

The other point was you only found out by googling it. Didn't know where off the top of your head either. But then again that's true of lots of normal things too.

Attempted break in at Orchard Court, Coolmine last night, they popped open the front door with some tool. Thankfully occupants heard them and man of the house ran down the stairs scaring them off. No idea if they tried any others in the area afterwards.

The euro locks fitted on most modern doors are the cheapest absolute dirt one could buy, recommend everyone checks and buys a anti bump and anti snap type as all they is a vice grips and pull side to side and snap it off, they even have a metal bar to the exact fit for added pressure to snap at times.

Sensor or lighting on all the time too....

Get a WiFi CCTV doorbell or a camera to cover entry points and say side window.

The locks can be changed fairly easy in most cases too....

Have they a nice car or 2?

Would recommend a tracker or added kill switch if yes because they will go after the keys if possible.

It's really not a nice thing to happen and I hope the thugs die in pain that are at this sh1t.

Hope they will come out of it ok, the scare I mean.

The car is either 2019 or 2020 but not a highly sought after make, fairly normal. Horrible thing to happen making you feel unsafe in your own home.

Can you recommend a particular barrel, maybe throw a link or 2 up to the type you mean.

My old man has some fancy barrel, he has it registered somehow and only him or me are able to get copy keys cut as long as we have the license card.......which he lost! Sorry I don't know the name but Could this be the type you mean?

Catalytic converters are also being targeted in Dublin 15. Three lads took one off a car in Roselawn also last Friday night.

Yes you are right there is indeed

http://www.justice.ie/en/JELR/CCTV_-_Notes_for_Applicants.pdf/Files/CCTV_-_Notes_for_Applicants.pdf

It came out back in October or was reported in the media then. I presume a Neighbourhood watch committee or a residents association would need to apply.

Has anyone in the Dublin 15 area looked into this?

What I have seen is they don't care even if there's a CCTV. Covid is helping them, they are fully covered their faces with masks.

Not sure cameras help all that much. A 2019 Kia was stolen from a driveway in Mount Symon a few days ago. The thief was covered head to toe, caught starting right at the camera in broad daylight. Didn't stop him.

Another video doing the rounds of a young lad casually walking into drives checking car doors during the day. I don't think cameras scare them, but it helps build awareness and maybe helps catching them - this particular dope wears the same jacket apparently.
