    You don't see the Gardai because they are a joke of a force and refuse to do actual police work.

    They'll stop you driving 5km from your home but no where to be seen when they need to get their hands dirty.

    Anytime I see a Garda, which is rare, the Police Academy theme usually starts playing in my head.

    I’d love a proper police force that were allowed to beat the **** out of the scum. It’s reaching tipping point now with all the low level crime and shenanigans.

    Don't forget raiding mass as a show of strength against the elderly

    I doubt that happened, unless it was this bunch..

    Added to the brands already mentioned, they haven't left many for us decent folk have they? ;)

    I think it's how it's worn that exposes the skanger though

    It's in their demeanor, body language and gait

    edit: just remembered another huge scrote brand; Burberry

    No strength being used against elderly as far as I can see. I think you are mixing guidelines helping to limit covid spread and this thread. Haven't got a clue why. Way off topic imo.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 51 ✭✭N958GB


    Oh theres a cure, its called prison. Put a lad in jail and his attacking decent people days will be greatly reduced. Watch his mates wind their necks in going forward

    It's not a cure as it hasn't worked

    Now now, you're the one being overly pedantic about the words used in a remark re: gardai priorities (relevant to this thread) and trying to then paint me as the one derailing a thread as I explain myself to you, which I now realise is pointless because you're looking to be get into a row about whether gardai are justified in kicking pensioners out of mass.

    A round house kick to the head against an unarmed minor would not be a justifiable use of force in court, please don't make statements that are incorrect.

    If the individual was holding a knife at the time it would, but take it from someone whos been taken away in cuffs after defending himself on the job, its not a risk worth taking.

    Defend yourself, but if you're martial arts trained or a boxer don't use the best of your abilities on attackers unless there's a threat to life.

    If I were a juror i would say it was reasonable

    Whatever you think. Imo you are trying to mix two different things together and hope for somebody to post back, which I did. Big mistake on my side.

    How can it work when no one is being sent there??

    The courtroom is a revolving door. Lads walking the streets with 50 plus convictions without a care in the world.

    Follow the money.

    One of the barmen stated on Facebook that the scum were throwing cans and bottles at a pregnant woman and the they intervened to help her and that's what kicked it all off.
    He said he was stabbed in the shoulder and will have surgery on it tomorrow.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 749 ✭✭✭Bozo Skeleton


    Yes we should aspire to this utopian society!

    I was replying to a poster wondering if the men in black t-shirts were just roaming around looking for trouble makers in Krakow. My Polish ex girlfriend said it was what bars do over there. If there's fellas causing trouble these guys get a phone call. I'd be pretty sure that's what happened in the Krakow story a few pages back.

    Came so close a few times to one of them been sparked out.

    How did they manage to avoid it.

    Probably out again ruining normal people’s lives.

    Sending a person to jail 100% stops them from stabbing and hurting innocent members of society. A thief in jail is a thief that can't steal my wallet.

    It's very very simple logic. It may not cure them fully of the desire to do so, but it stops their ability to do so and honestly, if after ten chances they haven't learnt, **** em.

    Amazing how these incidents seem to be able to go on in Dublin City Center for minutes on end with no gardai (not even the sound of a siren).

    I can't think of another capital city where that would happen in the EU and I've been in cities all over Europe, police everywhere.

    Here we don't see them.

    Them all. It happens in them all. In every single capital city. Every single night. It doesn't happen when the police are present, it happens when they are not and thus, tagged time to respond.

    It takes an average of 7 minutes in London to respond to an armed call just to give you an idea of response times. An area with a greater ratio of police to population.

    All 3 are already in custody ffs and your still giving the Gardai a hard time.

    Seriously?

    And the three others who look like kids with him? What ages are they?

    Even if the lad in grey is early 20s, that still leaves one of the workers getting arrested

    Jesus, your some man for wild speculation aren't you? Yes he does and to others as well. He may also look younger then he actually is.

    Simple not true. Not true at all. Police response times are usually in the double digits. London averages 12.5 minutes to a priority 1 (unarmed) call.

    The USA has an average response time of 10 minutes.

    It takes on average over 5 seconds for the emergency call to even be answered, nevermind logged. How fast do you think it is between the fight starting and the police officer dispatched to it? He then has to physically run to the call after being told about it. The video is 90 odd seconds long!

    Your mean like a public order unit that 2 weeks ago was accused of being thugs and insulted by serving members of government and the Lord mayor? Ignoring of course that you just claimed Gardai are afraid to begin with


    I can see this thread has descended into the usual farce of blame the Gardai, make up lies and blind assumptions while ignoring the known facts.

    Where are all the garda ? I've seen a good few videos like this over the last few weeks and there's not a garda in sight in Dublin . Whether it be gangs of teens battering each other on o Connell street or morons jumping on taxis in Chapel street , is there a lack of policing in the city . Its not a great look for tourism in our capital city, when its infested with scrotes who've no shame in acting like scumbags in board daylight. There needs to be a serious shake up of the justice system and the welfare system that seems to spawn feral kids from feral parents

    Where are the guards? I’ll tell you where they are, out picking up cars off the street in my estate for I assume no motor tax (yesterday), out with their speed guns on the safest roads in the country, that’s where they are.

    But when we need them they are nowhere to be seen. On a street with so much “outdoor dining” where the f@“k where they.

    When my house was broken into while we slept but alarm soooked the burglar with a screwdriver (on camera) 5 hours it took them to come. (Because someone apparently cancelled the call) after we called them back to ask where they were

    I know it’s not the individual guards fault, I dint envy them. But surely serious crime should be prioritised. And Dublin needs a much bigger police presence especially during this weird relaxation period.

    What was their previous scrote brands?
    • Superdry (sort of)

    • Ralph Lauren (usually fake shirts)

    Any others?

    Do you expect them to be standing on every street corner just in case a fight breaks out? And if they were, you'd be the first to complain that they were standing around doing nothing.

    The jackboots are just nowhere to be found when there's action. A lot of posturing when its happy drinkers but absolutely nowhere when someone's getting murked.

    Krakow or anywhere in Poland. Drinking in public has been banned since 2018. Very hgh police visibility. If youre seen with a beer in non designated area in Poland, a vanload of cops will be on you inside 10 mins. Your papers will be checked. Burly Ukranian and country boy Polish cops don't have time for niceties. It is not just a sprcial crew recruited to handle bar room brawling

    A Utopia, hardly, and I don't know many Poles would claim it to be so, but you can go for a drink without having to case your surroundings and the people around you.

    I think the Gardai have been on unofficial strike for yonkers about pay. Now, closing police stations in the country towns, cutting police numbers by our gombeen politicians - who are simply in it for themselves - weak sentencing and hey presto, you have a lawless society

    Affordable - even the existence of adequate - housing and policing are screaming out for remedy. I can't see any political party tackling this issue head on. We are one sad little country

    That'd be the gardai in the traffic division then, which is itself understaffed given the amount of criminal driving on our roads. Shouldn't have to take from one to do the other

    I know they perform different roles

    My point is, violent crime is what most citizens want protection from.

    Take a drive anywhere tomorrow and you will see many guards along your journey. Walk down a busy street in Dublin tomorrow and you’ll more than likely see none, even though there are hundreds/thousands of people about

    Where are all the Gardai that were manning checkpoints during lockdown ? You could not move in Dublin without meeting three or four of them all over the place .
    Why can’t we have those lads now in town doing the job they are paid for and keeping the peace .

    Because crime incidents, rtc's, missing persons, people pissed in the streets etc. were all way down during the pandemic so there were numbers available to cover checkpoints. Now they're no longer down and Gardai are busier again.

    Yes I've been saying this for ages. In Berlin scrotes get picked up in a van and get a few licks then thrown out in the woods. No records, no reports.

    Yes, they should be. Especially with all that's in the news about Dublin lately. There should be a very strong Garda presence around the place.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 237 ✭✭RulesOfNature


    I myself have considered during the lockdown to get some of the lads to drive a van around and start whacking scrotes with a hammer but ultimately have too much to lose.

    No. Just let the people defend themselves.

    Ireland is a country that has legislated passivity. You literally could not defend yourself in most cases. Remove these idiotic policies, let people have the legal ability to arm and mob around these scrotes and harm them to the most punitive extent.

    Let those waiters use batons and let everyone have the incentive to help.

    The government just wants you to passively be harmed, and for no one to come to your aid.

    Ireland is a pathetic country.

    There are fewer Gardai at desks than there have ever been but some have to stay. Gardai already have batons.

    I mean t'would take you ages to shoot and hammer all the scrotes in Dublin .. no ?
