    Eyy sorry to disappoint you,... but there was an acid attack in Dundalk a couple of days ago. I know not what anyone wants to hear.

    one attack. on his hand too.

    hardly comparable to the multiple attacks in London leaving victims with serious life changing injuries.

    I remember I was heading up Capel street and this out of his head on something junky looking lad came around a corner and said 'Don't scream' as he blocked my path. He could barely stand and it was about 6pm on a summers evening. I just dodged him and kept strolling he didn't even have the ability to spin around after me. That whole area is riddled.

    But you didn't tell...... How big a scream did ya let out...

    If you read the the thread you will see the OP acknowledged quite early that it was WOOD QUAY, and still idiots ask what city hes talking about now correct me if im wrong but there is only one wood quay in Ireland.

    Don't give a ****e what ya say the first post (read what i said) does not make it clear the OP is referring to dublin. Also someone else just said there is a wood quay in Galway so who's the idiot.

    So I know they're just scummers but surely folk should be able to walk home after work without being abused? Why can't they all not just be 'put down' or something...

    In Seville this ****e never happens because the police would have you batoned or shot with rubber bullets. The Irish justice system is too soft and they know they can get away with It.

    I've never been to Seville. What makes it different from other major Spanish cities that have similar problems to Dublin?

    You're the idiot, if we want talk about your little town we'll post in the regional forum. Dont be such a bitter culchie.

    Wood quay on the south quays, doesn't take a genius to work out where it is, you could also of googled it instead of coming on here trying to make a petty point.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,829 ✭✭✭irishproduce


    The beauty of it is that the op is going to work each day to pay for these lads giving abuse.

    You're not really making much sense. You said there was only one wood quay in Ireland. I replied there is one in Galway. Large area full of pubs and restaurants.

    There is also a wood quay in Ennis although I suspect you are too angry now to care.

    1. Ennis is not a city (poster stated city centre)
    2. Wood quay in Galway is not on the south quay.
    3. I said i was ok to be corrected if i was wrong
    4.Im not angry, im happy, bitter culchies make me laugh.

    Process of elimination should lead people that aren't retarded to know where the OP is talking about.

    Is it best these days to just put your head down and don’t make any eye contact with these ‘civil chaps’ until you have passed them ?

    Yes but it doesn't beget dirbags having free reign to wander around all of our capital city wherever they like.

    The reason that happens is a matter of social policy that allows them to do so thanks to dirbag socialists.

    For the new year could with have

    1 scumbags thread

    I'm sure I'm missing at least 2 other topics

    They could stickied at the top to keep it nice and tidy!

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,881 ✭✭✭John_Rambo


    Personally, I easily guessed this happened in Dublin.


    But it seems evident from the geographical confusion, hand wringing & shared experiences there's sad state of affairs where the local scum of every small town and village forces the same type of localised bullying, intimidation and violence in rural towns & villages that's evident in a tiny part of the largest city in the country.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 32,956 ✭✭✭✭Omackeral

    He shouldn't be name calling but a thread entitled "scumbags in the city center" filled with people giving out about the filth, dirt bags, scumbags, scummers, dirty rotten junkies, scrotes, ferals, knackery behavior etc of certain people in the city might not be the best place to make a stand and claim name calling makes you worse..

    Who cares, its a message board full of anonymous people who wouldnt say half the stuff in real life that they say here.

    I think my real life reputation will be ok.

    And does he?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,797 ✭✭✭✭hatrickpatrick


    Ireland needs more prisons, harsher judges, and reform of the sentencing system so that violent offenders are prioritised for jail time, while victimless and non violent offenders are not. And I include heckling and harassment of passers by as "violence", those people should honestly all just be locked up.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,958 ✭✭✭D3V!L


    Im a little late to the show with this comment. Any other biker will back me up on this. The guy in the video didn't "rev" his engine. He blipped the throttle. Causes a little bit more noise but the engine barely responds. It's common and mainly considered a more polite way of notifying someone very close instead of blasting them out of it with a horn.

    I put one off his bike as he cycled at speed towards me on a footpath.

    There was no space for him so he ended up going over the handle bars and landing in a heap on the ground.,...

    His junkie buddies had the pleasure of the bike landing at their feet hitting them in the legs.

    They were like what ya fcuking doing.,..

    I said ah no it's grand I'm ok but thanks....

    I know you're joking about the walking thing but there's no shame in walking away if you can. Once you enter adulthood, a fist fight is more than likely gonna have you ending up in front of a copper, a judge or a doctor. Maybe even a mortician. No point in risking anything, or everything, for an absolute scrote when you can walk away.

    I was followed around by a homeless Irish bum over Xmas. Following me like he knew me, wouldn't **** off until I jumped into a taxi and shut door behind me. If you even look at these guys they think you adopted them. He wasn't aggressive as such, just being an irritant.

    If you think I eat corn flakes you're very wrong.

    I actually walked away crying with laughter.

    It happened a week before Christmas on Eden Quay.

    I was walking towards O'Connell st at the time and it was hit a tree or me so he opted to cycle into me. I hit.... I mean he hit my shoulder and went flying.

    Like the national children's hospital, they've been talking about building Thornton Hall for about 20 years, bought a site that they massively over paid for and instead of building a prison it's now an empty field occasionally used as a gardening resource for prisoners.
    It's funny how our population has increesed and pressure on prison spaces is at boiling point yet a new prison is absolutely nowhere on the government's agenda to meet the required capacity.
    Another example of Irish foresight and planning at it's finest.

    It doesn't help that prisons are a no-no among the type of "progressive" voter that the current government likes to woo. Leo would be as likely to announce new prison places as he would be to announce curbs on immigration.
