Teenagers with no value for life and no care for repercussions - **Read OP**

Another day, another act of scumbaggery - suspects ranging from 15-18 years of age.

Nothing in the media regarding the wider issue of course, no no we couldn’t possibly have a pragmatic conversation about these little scrotes and the damage they’re doing to our society. That wouldn’t be very PC at all.

Best just give them more dole and hope that maybe then they won’t attack people.

Again, if only these kids had that cancelled white-water rafting centre to go with all their football pitches, basketball courts, boxing clubs, sport groups and other facilities around sherrif st, then maybe they wouldn't have to spend all evening hopping on innocent people's heads. It would be a travesty to try and put them in jail/oberstown now, it wasnt really their fault, sure just give them a free house next to mammy and endless mickey money to produce more. Maybe one will grow to be a net contributor to society in 20 years, and sure then, won't it will all be worth it?

That area was supposed to be dead posh and gentrified.

I read from the Irish Mirror website recently that another gay man was verbally and physically assaulted by a couple of teenagers while travelling on a bus in Dublin. He was travelling home with a few of his friends after finishing a night out in Dublin. He, along with his friends, were travelling home by bus from the City Centre to Tempelogue.

An altercation had ensued on the bus between the teenagers and the victims. The gay male victim had suffered injuries to his nose during the attack. He was admitted to St James Hospital for treatment for his injuries. There are also photographs within the article of his shoes covered in drips of blood from the attack.

I cannot link the article at the moment. However the teenage thugs who carried out this attack really do need to have all of the sh1t flung back at them after carrying out this horrible attack on this young man.

He along with his friends had a great night out in Dublin ruined by these little scumbags. If the Gardai are looking at the reports of this attack right in front of them. They must be tearing their hair out in anger if they are not able to administer a proper form of punishment to these scumbags.

Id want to hear from the people who spend time in the city centre and have not experienced any, where do they hide out?

I have not experienced any real antisocial behaviour in town. I see drug users falling around the place and I see groups that would generally be considered rough and intimidating. This is not pleasant, but I haven't actually witnessed any actual trouble of any kind. I go to O'Connell Street, Henry Street, Mary Street, Abbey Street. I get the bus on Tara Street and walk across the Rosie Hackett Bridge. I would also be around Pearse Street and occasionally Dame Street, Grafton Street.

I have experienced antisocial behaviour in the West Dublin and North Kildare suburbs though, where I live and work.

Me not actually witnessing any trouble, or knowing anyone affected, doesn't mean I don't believe it's an issue though. Of course when I see reported incidents such as those mentioned here I find it very upsetting and worrying. I see the videos, I know it's happening. I will be attending a gig in the Point on my own in December and I am having second thoughts given serious attacks reported up that direction.

As I was saying in the LGBT forum on this, yet again, like other recent homophobic attacks, NO description was given of the assailants.

This shows there is something rotten is way we deal with crime, specially youth crime.

I can't imagine how I would cope with loosing my sight in an eye, no mind both. It would completely debilitate me in my sporting interests no mind generally. I suffer from glaucoma and have some damage in my left eye optic never before it was detected when I was 27yo. I do live in fear of it getting worse despite the medication I take every day to control my eye pressure which causes it. If it gets worse it would send me on a spiral of depression, I can't see how I'd ever get over it.

As I said in another thread recently, youths that cause physical harm to a human being should be treated like adult criminals. Held in a youth prison, not a youth detention centre.

Lets get real, they are untamed, like an animal. The social reasons for that can be addressed but the fact it it's too late for some of them. The only way to tame them is by harsh punishment, not mollycoddling and sympathy for their social background.

By harsh punishment I don't mean corporal punishment, I mean giving them an understanding how their lives will turn out if they don't turn themselves around. And that can be done by sending them to a youth prison.

Teenager arrested & released. Sickening.

They have to be referred to the Youth Diversion Programme first, they decide if a file is to be sent forward to the DPP.

Literally nobody i know is bothering with town for a night out these days. Unless there is a specific event there.. Everyone is just going back to having house parties, the local or a combination of the two…

safety concerns and rip off concerns.
