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

When Cherry Orchard was built is was a dumping ground for a lot of inner city scum (yes there was decent folk), the proportion of decent folk to scum wasn't the same as other area's with problems. When I grew up in Cherry Orchard it was effectively a no go area for the Guards - seems nothing has changed. The majority of Ballyfermot is inhabited by decent hard working folk, Cherry Orchard is obviously circling the drain again. At this stage there is a few generations of scum who have procreated in Cherry Orchard and the cycle continues.

The Guards can only do so much with what they have, they simply do not have the resources needed or political will from the higher up's the tackle the problem. And its far from a couple who have slipped through the cracks, simply watch the mob of scum baying for blood in the most recent vid.

That seems a little far fetched to be honest, a more likely scenario is the young man in question was probably driving extremely carefully and an act of god made him crash. The Guards arrived on scene to find a mob of fine upstanding individuals, the guards then instructed the mob to all get their phones out and film while they beat the poor young man senseless. Guards are well known to arrive at RTA's and give beat downs, sometimes while people are still trapped in the wreckage.

This kid..who according to the article is a 20 year adult and is one of the only details in the article where nothing else which has been alleged is mentioned 🤔

Hopefully knocked the Skanger out of him!

Sooner the guards get the cameras the better, they can show what scum they've to deal with.

I do wonder what kind of homes are some of these kids coming out off? Do their parents care when the guards come knocking at the door to say the kid has done something. Most kids from deprived areas turn out fine less opportunities then other kids but still just regular people. It’s not the lack of facilities that often gets blamed as some deprived areas have equestrian centres etc that aren’t in other locations.

Other thing I guess is the culture (for lack of a better word) of the area these kids grow up in. They know who the criminals are and look up to them. To them the money and violence signals power. The only way some of those kids see to get respect/power is through crime. They become desensitised to violence and have an us v them attitude. Society often gets blamed for this stuff but I don’t see how some kid robbing a car off someone else is society’s fault. What can an outsider do to change attitudes in those kids?

More guards won’t fix the underlying issues here as it’s too late by then.

@mohawk They don't care. If anything, they'll attack the Garda for arresting their lickle angle. The amount of times I got roared at for having the cheek of bringing their little shyte home instead of arresting them. Well, it only happened once per family, after that they all got arrested. Didn't make a blind bit of difference. The feral kids from feral parents with a history of hating the Gardai for no reason other than they stop them from committing crime. How dare they.

I can't see a way out. Not without some heavy handed approach which just won't be accepted in soft Ireland. Being unsocial ain't so bad these days.

Judge Martin Nolan again. Why am I not surprised.

Does he ever jail anyone?

violent men and perverts have nothing to fear

Too much focus on the ‘R’ word…. REHABILITATION…

it alludes to the fact that if these knackbags don’t get actively enabled to turn away from a path of crime… somehow they have been failed…WE have failed them, they’ve been fûcked over by society. 😱

if I need to give up smoking or drinking , I’ll rehabilitate and stop… crime isn’t addictive, just stop.

for rehabilitation to occur the onus is on the people with the problem / causing the problem ..

if a person has a stroke … the person needs to actively rehabilitate….

scumbags, just need to stop. If they don’t want to, ok, remove their liberty as many times as is necessary until it sinks in.

But, but, they've no faciliteeeees!
