    Im presuming if they smash the window of a car driving past and are caught on camera something would have to be done.

    It truly wrecks my buzz that if any of the good folks using this forum decided to dump their rubbish outside someone's house we'd be in a world of hassle pretty quickly. Yet the scum who did this to the OP get to strut around and repeat offend with total impunity.

    Its one thing if they dumped it and left but to have the cheek to still stay there and watch you clean up their **** is the more annoying thing.They will get whats coming to them eventually.Last time they were up the road their windows were smashed in and they left.Pity whoever did it that time wouldn't do it again

    I think its time for the people to come out and say what they REALLY think about travellers instead of saying it under a veil or anonimity, (thats not a criticism of you) I just mean whenever it comes to the media and the public comments people dont say all the things theyve been saying on here.

    People need to come together support and back each other up and say enough is enough we've had enough of travellers and "Their Ways"

    The activities of travellers arent monitored on a regular basis and people dont want to speak out for the fear of retaliation so maybe people should get together when theyve had enough and do something, Travellers use their power in numbers and intimidate people one by one and eveybody is afraid to do anything, if an estate is being terrorised the people should say okay lets all get together have a meeting and then go and tell them to move on, something like that anyway, I think the behaviour is being tolerated too much and people need to take the power back and not be walked all over.
    its all sounds great in theory i know, but having regular dealings with travellers i do see the worst of them all the time unfortunately!

    The reasons highlighted above pretty much sums up why people will not stand up to them, they are a law onto themselves and are merciless when it comes to revenge, we've all heard the stories. Until such time as the Guards start being more decisive and ruthless in their dealings with them they will continue to walk all over the general populous.

    I agree wtih you totally but this will just keep going round and round, they have their pavy point group and civilians need their group to respond to Travellers anti social behaviour!

    Bleeding heart idiots, let's call a spade a spade now, they're nothing but a drain on society and once you say anything against the or stand up to them you are either prejudice or beaten to a pulp, I'd like to elaborate as to a solution but for fear of a ban.

    You can do stuff to people and not be seen/caught. You just have to be clever about it that's all.

    Travellers
    Know all their rights
    But none of their responsibilities.

    Gas how things have changed over the last few years.

    First up, traveller rights groups were complaining about the settled communitys' reluctance to allow travellers to intergrate into wider society.

    When this was accepted and we began to move to closer integration, the travellers rights groups started to move the goals posts (so to speak) and insisted that travellers cannot be held accountable for certain things becauses it part of their culture. In other words, travellers don't want to be treated equally, they want to be treated differently and more important than the rest of us.

    Culture my hole, it's only an excuse to flout the law and be complete and utter scumbags.

    Its really strange that the travellers should dump their rubbish because the council takes it away for them for free - honest!

    I was talking to a litter warden about it because the travellers even managed to turn that into a scam. The travellers would knock on peoples doors and take away the rubbish and get paid for doing so then they'd dump it in with their own rubbish which was taken away for free by the council. The litter warden used to check some of the bags for letters addressed to non travellers so he could stop them doing it - brave man.

    In other words the council clean up after their mess and are too scared to fine them for littering

    point taken and expected as these threads only go one way.could it be argued that travellers discriminate against settled people? for another thread, I'm bowing out of this one.

    No I'm saying that the travellers near where I am in Waterford get their bin bags picked up by the council for free.

    I think its so the council don't have to clean up after their mess.

    Its just what the litter warden told me and I don't see that he'd be making it up.

    Agreed just got an infraction for an innocuous post, the mods here are more interested in being PC than letting people speak the truth, time they grew a set to be honest and stopped protecting the underbelly of society that have terrorised our country for decades.

    I'm afraid like every other traveler related thread, its a disaster from the very start and as such, I am afraid we will have to be locking it. I fully understand the concerns and anger felt by people, especially the OP, but I think you have got your answer and so its the right time to lock this thread.

    For the record, its not being 'PC'. Have a rant about other sections of our community in a similar fashion, and the discussion would be locked. This isn't the place to have such a discussion either. The original post has been addressed as far as Boards can help.

    As always, you can PM if you have any questions or concerns related to this.
