    Very, very emotive vocabulary of reporting there. I could hardly believe I was reading a news page?

    I mean do you not think it was cowardly to attack two children as adults? Is it not thugish and its been confirmed by the Garda it was racially motivated so what issue do you have?

    Maybe it was racist, maybe it was some sort of vigilante stuff, maybe they owed money.

    We dont know yet.

    I wouldnt believe Dublin Live, they just make stuff up from half stories and facebook rants.

    Garda just called it an assault.

    What do you mean? The guards and witnesses have confirmed the children were eating lunch in the park and were viciously assaulted because of their ethnicity

    Are you actually trying to defend the brutal assault of children?

    Terrible that the kids were attacked at all. But the dublin live website is garbage. "Disgusting yobs". That's not how we talk. Maybe they were just normal yobs. Normal violent racist ones.

  • Registered Users Posts: 15,971 ✭✭✭✭Spanish Eyes


    I would call it an attack, GBH, assault whatever. Racism should never come in to it really, sorry probably opened myself up for attack online now!

    I just said I found the writing very emotive for a supposed news report. I didn’t put a judgment value on the event itself at all, but just to answer your question, it is despicable to beat up children. The thing that struck me about the article is that this is the first time I see such emphatic, emotionally charged first report on any crime. Perhaps I don’t read enough of these type of articles.

    There is an agenda with the article. Also detailed description of the attackers' jackets but not the attackers... terrible there is such scum but why cant they release physical descriptions so we can all look out for them

    With your talk of vigilantes, sure.

    Here's a Facebook post from one of the parents:

    If it was 2 white kids who were beaten up by 2 black adults, the tone of replies would be quite different.

    I thought it was very descriptive given they put "allegedly" before everything. Very precise reporting for something that was done allegedly.

    The parent's post was much better than the article. Concise , loads of relevant information. I hope the feral scrotes are caught soon and hope the young man recovers quickly and we all support him.

    Regardless of the motive, they're complete scumbags.

    Would this have made it acceptable in your mind?

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    yeah, there a distinct lack of replies asking what race the attackers were and saying how its only being left out because they are not white. odd, theres usually a good few of those............

    Huh?

    Well the accusation said "racial slurs" so that would indicate racism.
