    Did you bring your children to the Gardai to make a statement? They might be able to give them so gome good info about who organised it, how they heard about it, and help identify some of the trouble makers?

    Very good and interesting question.

    It should be done like they do it in Poland and other Eastern European countries, kick their asses first and ask questions later. That would soon stamp out this behaviour

    I hope moyo got a hiding in the cells


    Doesn't work. Just breeds contempt.

    What did Moyo do again? Did he organise the event or something?

    I'd hope some good 'old fashioned' policing is brought into play once they get the little scumbags into the back of a patrol car and down to a cell. Good enough for them.

    'good old fashioned policing' is criminal, corrupt and gives other scumbags legal authority.

    You might not care, but the Gardaí who become the targets of this contempt most certainly do. Isn't that with this thread is supposed to be about? Concern about attacks on Gardaí?

    Myself and the kids spoke to the Gardai at the scene. Through my involvement with local sport, many of the local Gardai would know me and my son quite well. A statement was not requested.

    Because subjugating a class of people you decided is inferior, historically, always works out well for the subjugator

    The level of contempt these kids have for the Guards etc is at a new level.

    Your not talking about Ballyer youths.

    Culture and values matter.

    I think the vast majority of people are fed up and sick of the lawlessness going on at the moment, I'm almost certain people would be in favour of the Gardaí becoming more heavy handed instead of driving around in rainbow cars. There's definitely an appetite for a more tougher police force here, especially in Dublin.

    The problem with these children is the culture and values they are raised in at home.

    The boys are treated like little kings who can do no wrong, always right, until they do something for which the living **** is beaten out of them for.

    Add in a culture where there is no respect for women, other people, the Law, work, education and we are where we are.

    That's just your opinion MrFresh. Dublin is a cesspit of crime at the moment and most people want action.

    It’s always been a cesspit of crime, you’re just now noticing because you’re a racist about the whole thing

    Yeah it's my opinion based on policing on the front line in a bad area for a decade.

    Nowadays kids are not afraid of the Gardaí whatsoever because of a watering down of the Garda as a police force over the past 15 years or so. Growing up you'd get a smack of a torch if you even dared to get cheeky with a guard. These days you regularly see kids throwing rocks etc at Garda cars and the guards don't even get out of their cars anymore.

    Kids in these areas have never been afraid of Gardaí. I remember 15 years ago getting rocks thrown at me by kids who couldn't have been more than twelve in Harelawn. You are looking at the past through some serious rose tinted glasses.

    You could be as well.

    Look at the problem that has caused with and for travellers and those near them.

    Compounded by a culture of inbreeding, that is unique in many ways.

    Culture and values matters.

    We used to do it just to get chased by the gardai. Not a black fella among us.
