Galway hit and run

basillarkin

Terrible videos of their culture doing the rounds tonight, at least 2 different people knocked down by a single driver in a black car, skirmishes have continued all weekend.

Guards should be all over this, pavee point will no doubt be silent on the matter, from the beatings, and the fights over the weekend to the disgraceful scenes at supermacs, should be high time the culprits were rounded up, trialed and jailed.

Seen that clip , but still none the wiser

What I can't get my head around is these same people issuing death threats and threats to damage property over social media where they are fully identifiable and not a single thing appears to be done about it and it ends up escalating to events seen tonight.

Think op means why don't the guards arrest said individuals when they're clearly identifiable on social media issuing death threats etc.

Not sure that hit and run is an accurate description - in hit and runs, the hit part is usually an "accident". Whereas that looked more like a deliberate act and therefore attempted murder using a vehicle.

Given the ramming chaos that happened in Rathkeale a while back, looks like culture has moved on from slash hooks and machetes to vehicles.

All for control of the white powder, and as long as the vast numbers think sure it’s ok to “do a line” and get it for €10 a pop, there will be power struggles for the lucrative control of it!

With all their bluster, it rarely ends in an actual death. The weapons simply bounce off their thick skulls.

They're like weaponised school kids.

enda Kenny making them an ethnic group. Civil disobedience like this should come with mandatory jail sentences.

Multiple videos of the car incident. Nothing on RTE about this. Must be fake news.

Nothing to see, Move along.

Rte are afraid to mention the 'T' word now on their reports. Closest they will get is to say its feuding families.

What have Pavee Point got to say on the mayhem? Probably nothing as usual.

"Anti social behaviour" between "Extended families" is the Irish media euphemism.

That should be marked nsfw, I could have done without seeing it tbh

RTE covering this now - late to the party and no mention of the T word.

"It is thought the incident is linked to an ongoing feud between a number of families in the region"

If Travellers weren't a separate ethnic group, then I would be justified in saying that the weekend's events were just Irish people doing what they do.

Quitelife

Its happening all over the country - destroying towns & Villages in all counties.

Massive row over Cocaine Turf last week in Ennistymon, Co Clare , Fighting in Shopping Centre in Longford week before , murder at funeral min Tralee Co Kerry earlier this year , that was the only time a number were arrested & kept in Custody.

Galway might get some reaction from courts as this could impact the Tourist trade which is a mega industry for galway else some American Tourist will get their head cut off with a slash Hook!

They only fight amongst themselves, the yank tourists will be safe enough, and they will have exciting footage of the last of the wild, free indigenous Irish to show to their friends. Where else would you get a wild west show like that? And free gratis.

As an ex student of UCG and a regular visitor to Galway, I find it sad to read about what's happening. Terrible publicity generated by a minority, which impacts the image of he city, who just don't care !!!

I thought the lad that got the first hop was run over a second time. I see now it was someone else the second time. There'll be murder charges brought against that driver, if they can identify who it is, but I'd imagine it's gonna be easy enough considering the amount of footage. They'll be fine though. Tough out. And he didn't see it coming so no doubt he wasn't tensed, so that probably will save him. Some hop though. I can now start believing Hollywood again.

It's technically a hit and run, as in he hit the people and ran (drove) away, but hit and run isn't an actual thing. There'd be separate offences of probably dangerous driving/murder (to be dropped to manslaughter most likely, but shouldn't) and leaving the scene of an accident. There'd also be plenty of other "minor" charges which would be taken into considering, such as insurance, car certs, seatbelt, actions between the hitting of people, etc.

Imagine calling people "handicapped bas tard" in the year 2023 as an insult. These people are pure dirt and have no place in any civil society.

opinionated3

Our country is officially f##ked. It's time we all accepted this fact.

Nearest village to me is ruined because of this ethnic minority and their drug dealing. Never has active vigilantism been more required than right now. I'm sure the lefties and the do gooders will attack this post but I really don't care. Sometimes violent behaviour needs to be met with stronger violence from decent people.

It needs to be vigilantes from outside, because the decent local people would not want to get involved. You could make enquiries in the North about who is doing the kneecappings these days. But they probably won't come cheap.

Which county is least impacted by Traveller Crime ??

Dublin, Monaghan,Donegal seem to be least impacted.

Longford, Limerick, Clare, Tipperary are worst impacted

All I Know is towns in County Limerick are ran by Traveller gangs where the State and Guards are becoming Irrelevant - Abbeyfeale, Askeaton & Kilmallock been three classic cases with closed or part time garda stations

I think "moved on" may not be as accurate a phrase as we might like to think...

The incident discussed in that article took place 20 years ago. For those who don't click the link, a small child outside their house in Tallaght was struck by a car driven by a *person of culture* during a fued between two *famiilies of culture* in 2003.

batman_oh

Hopefully we can have a week to celebrate all the positives we have gained from allowing them to do whatever they want and basically stick two fingers up at decent society. Bring on some social justice leftie heads to tell us how we are all racist and we are in fact the problem.

Nothing like being lectured by the morally virtuous

I found this part of a different article a bit bizarre.

Elizabeth's first appointment is on November 11 - exactly a year since the horrific smash. Ellen said: "She has an appointment in a fertility clinic.

"A specialist will examine her to see if there is a chance she can ever have children."

She (was) 5!

Matt Cooper ( mr woke) discussed this on his show with the FG mayor of Galway and they both said they couldn’t name which group these animals for fear of identifying them

Probably to see if permanent damage had been caused by the car running her over.

Obviously, but her parents were probably advised by doctors to have it checked as a result of the accident.

If anything it should hammer home the potential lasting damage that was potentially caused by a bunch of animals trying to run each other over in cars.

I've seen fueds play out in real time and the feral scum involved aren't interested in anything but the destruction they're causing.
