    2nd time this week I have seen someone post up something from a Neo Nazi wannabe.

    Both were accidents of course.

    Just another reminder that 3 girls were sexually assaulted, including one of them who was raped.

    It seems more people give a **** about hoping it was asylum seekers or travellers so they can spew their ****e.

    Yeah its terrible

    There's a butcher shop there too. Maybe it was a group of butchers.

    It could well be.

    Right - it’s time to call a halt to this back and forth, left vs right, nonsense.

    The next post better be on topic and linked to the alleged sexual assaults. If your next post is going to reduce the signal to noise ratio, then don’t post.

    Have a lovely weekend

    The Gardai seem to know exactly who they are after. The culprits appear to have travelled abroad and their parents are covering for them.
    Fine upstanding citizens.

    Citizens could be incorrect.

    Piece in today's Sun, Traveller gangs may seek revenge for sex assaults by Travellers in Courtown. Grabbing gone wrong maybe

    Journalism gone wrong,more likely

    Quite a few traveller feuds have started over incidents of a sexual nature. If both offenders and victims were travellers this would not be unusual. There's still no evidence of this though. Quite a lot of gougers seem to visit Wexford during the Summer months so it really could be anyone.

    Travellers are Irish citizens. Possibly the only real Irish citizens.

    They would make one ashamed to be Irish. Nearly every day for the past few months they are in the news for criminality. There is absolutely no denying they do not contribute anything good to society.

    The defence solicitor can use that in mitigation so. 'No Judge, this wasn't sexual assault or rape, it's just part of their culture and ethnicity which went too far'.
    Sorted.

    There is a large silent majority of Travellers who aren't involved in criminality. There are Travellers who could be living next door to you and you wouldn't even know they were Travellers. Unfortunately, they all get tarred with the same brush because a minority of them are criminals (a larger proportion of them than in the settled community it has to be said). What makes it worse is their so called representative organisation that is either silent on the subject of Traveller criminality, or tries to justify it as part of their precious culture that needs to be protected eg sulky racing on public roads that is a danger to road users (including the Travellers) and is a form of animal cruelty, or the 'right' to commit criminal trespass on private property.

    Let’s leave the general Traveller discussion out of this please. We have enough threads for that.

    Please stick to the specifics of this story.

    I understand your concern Dudara but this from the sun changes the discussion quite a bit. Culture aside, if you choose to identify as a traveller then you cannot complain when someone calls you a traveller

    They'll be flinging themselves in judge Martin nolan's court now rather than have their knackers removed with a slash hook. Which would you rather fued justice or a heafty ssuspended sentence.

    “It seems those juveniles might be safer in Garda custody than in the community.”

    This could be a clever Garda ruse...


    “What happened to the young girls was absolutely horrific and a lot worse than was initially thought, so there are a lot of angry people out there hellbent on revenge.

    Jesus Christ. The poor crathers.

    Qui sème le vent récolte le tempo.
    I remember when Travellers were not particularly unfriendly or dangerous but as settled children we were taught to see them as bad and or unacceptable people and not allowed to mix with them, They were treated like **** and blamed for everything so its no surprise to see lots of them nowadays have no respect for society.

    Not allowed to discuss Travellers on this thread. You could start another thread about the ethnicity of Travellers if you like but it’ll be closed because of the racist posters.

    I never said that Travellers were not citizens. Why are you inferring that I mean Irish Travellers?

    In fairness splinter65 I say it is your claim in the second sentence people are confused about

    It does explain the reporting of it being of a sensitive nature. Grabbing, I believe it's called.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,824 ✭✭✭irishproduce


    So are we seeing that, actually the "sensitive" lack of detail of this incident isn't because the perpetrators are new Irish, but actually they are our own cultured Irish (According to the Sun article)?
    Ho hum...

    No it's got nothing thing to do with whether somebody is anti-immigration or not.
    Nobody has any information so both the liberal Nazis who are always in to protect the perpetrators, unless they are white heterosexual males, and the unintelligent social media followers have grown tired of it.
