Youths Causing Hassle in Eyre Square

Last few days, there has been a guard or two hanging around by the old tourist kiosk every time I've walked past.

Do you you just troll for the craic now? Or are you getting two years of something out of your system?

So it's acceptable for this to happen as in the OP: "They even attacked a guy on Friday afternoon breaking his nose." Because they're just getting it out of their system??

I've seen some bizarre stuff on this site but I think that might just be one of the most stupid posts ever.

If you're not on the wind up, it's an opinion that defies belief.

The "guy" they attacked was a 13 year old kid. They beat him unconcious and broke his nose, loosened teeth etc. Can't say too much more about specifics, Guards are dealing with it and will be making arrests. There is CCTV of the alledged attackers.

On a side note one of the alledged attackers was supposed to getting interviewed that very day with his mother about another incident. But instead he was back in Eyre square for more fun....

It does seem that way. I hate to agree with Mrs OBumble but I think there is a degree of truth to it. Society is a bit out of whack atm. Also if the guards would stop WFH that would be great!

It's also on the guards CCTV. Lots of other places aren't. I'd rather have the troublemakers there in sight, than spread out along the river walkways.

Not backtracking at all.

I don't see evidence that the level of serious issues is any different.

But I do see and hear a bit more a general rough behaviour than pre Covid. But only a small bit more.

I'm not I town much during the day, but am there every night/weekend.

wasn't antisocial behaviour one reason for redesigning the square 20+ years ago.

& there have been threads on here about dodgy behaviour in and outside of Supermacs going back several years.

Also I know that people have been being assaulted out of the blue in parts of the city centre and elsewhere for a number of years too
