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

Hordes of “underprivileged” teenagers on coke? Yeah, sure ..

Coke mixed with various different types of alcoholic drinks such as beer, whiskey,vodka etc is a massive problem. It's that cocktail which is likely doing the most harm. those things in isolation aren't too bad. It's when they are mixed people become volatile.

Feck all remorse, I would say. When they know they've done wrong they'll justify it to themselves by regurgitating some crap that they've heard from a dogooder about how they have anger issues and the state won't help them and that they are bored and there's no "facilities" in the area.

You have community workers strolling into youth centres telling kids from these areas that the whole system is rigged against them, they create an Us versus Them mentality, to convince the kids that the community worker is on their side. It is selfish, self serving, self promotion. They do it for all the wrong reasons.

Seriously, can you walk around the streets of Dublin without the pervasive smell of cannabis following you? Around the South inner city particularly, it's more pervasive then the hoppy smell of the Guinness brewery and it's really disturbing to see 12-15yr olds wandering down the street without a care in the world and a joint in their hand.

These are the youth with absolutely no future and behave as such, the impact of cannabis on the developing brain is catastrophic.

I was capable of unkind acts and on many occasions caused hurt during my adolescent years, mostly without even knowing it, just being thoughtless. This is the story of most young men and many factors contribute to and exacerbate the outcomes and actions with result in cvntishness. There are some interesting high level observation on the page below and as a starting point it useful to understand cause and effect. You are right though, apart from the obvious causes there are outliers, kids from good families can be scum too.

Just as you have been free with excuses and handwringing.

The people referred to in the thread title don't need help from pseudoscientists.

They need morality beaten into them, figuratively if possible, but literally if necessary.

And just to be clear, there is no mention of specifics in the title, I seen no example. I posted simply on the subject of using violence to solve violence in young men.

Out

I didn't know where to put this link but the IT have an article here writing about their readers experiences about anti social behaviour in Dublin. There is quite a long list of them written here in this article. They really give us a real sense of heightened awareness as to what goes on in various parts of Dublin today.

As soon as I was writing up this post on boards; I heard a faint distant of a firework going off somewhere near my house in Dublin a few minutes ago. I hope someone is not seriously injured by those things.

They are not ignorant, they are just showing normal reactions to scumbag behaviour. We have a legal system thats quite lenient on scumbag behaviour so obviously this is going to make people who care about victims angry. Yes rehabilitation is important but it also costs money and right now we need that money for other things.

Well we do have more important things to spend money on like the housing crisis, we don't have enough money for everything.
