Enough is enough? Dublin north inner city crime

I don't know why none of the main parties are latching onto it.

SF and PBP cannot, for obvious reasons.

Politicians from other parties are probably acutely aware that any real attempt to get to grips with it is likely to backfire in accusations of victim blaming, elitism and targeting the most vulnerable in society with draconian measures Joe.

Norwegian prison systems which focus on rehabilitation.

......

Hasn't Ireland looked in that at all?

Rates of recidivism are encouraging low.

The gardai who have become desensitized given there experiences should not be in the job any longer, if they can't treat ordinary decent people they encounter with a modicum of kindness.

The man has life changing injuries according to reports so its a bit more serious than someone who got a black eye or a busted nose.

The bang them up and throw away the key brigade wouldn't stand for that. What, spending money on prisoners so they don't do bad stuff after they are released?? What sorcery is this?

No, we'll do the bare cheap ass minimum, muddle along and hope for the best in "shur Twill be grand Land".

Quite astonishing given the location that no one has been arrested yet. There must be CCTV everywhere there.

Did they arrest anyone for the Ukranian victim in the same area?

What about moving those families involved in repeat criminal behaviour out of their area?

Sounds like the kind of rubbish a PBP type would come out with but on googling him he's Social Dems. Obviously he prefers immigrants from countries whose cultures have nothing in common with our own. Hes obviously been brainwashed into thinking that the West is the source of all evil. If he hates Europe so much let him go live in Iran or China. I hear Afghanistan is nice.

Moving them out? They should have their safety net that we provide removed.

Should be a 3 strike rule for welfare dependents then you'll see parenting skills sprout sharpish

The problem is nearly always toxic masculinity. Men convicted of any kind of violence should not be allowed out on the streets so that women and also decent men can go out and about safely. Tag them, lock them up, sterilise them, whatever. Remove violent men, remove 98 percent of the problem

And the junkie scumbags on the Northside are a pestilence of their own. Ideally should all be herded up and kept in an enclosed environment in the middle of nowhere

Have to agree they are mostly beyond that. Anyway there is a limit that can be taken off the welfare payments. Better to just move thme to a less expensive location with far less opportunities for trouble.

I wonder how much our infantilisation of our lower rungs of society feeds into this total abrogation of personal responsibility or any expectation thereof.

Any legitimate criticism is met with “Nooo you’re punching down!! Can’t do that, they’re not to blame for anything they do”

The bleeding hearts think they’re doing well by the scum by protecting them in this manner, but really they’re just denying them their agency in any acts they commit.

I think we need to stop all this beating around the bush placating. Utter permissiveness in the face of these people’s behaviour, violence, contempt of education and the law. Drains on society.

“Oh you don’t want to go to school or work (or court) that’s okay, yeah no worries just wear your pyjamas out to the shops that’s grand, yeah blow the cigarette smoke in your babies face while swearing at the other one, here have some more free money and a free apartment in the centre of one of the most expensive cities in the world, oh you’ve spat in my face thanks very much, you make our city so vibrant!”

What has happened to social standards?

We have made life too easy for these parasites.

Free house, free money, free this, free that.

Ireland is facing a bleak future. Scrotes contributing nothing are multiplying at a massive rate.

The word entitled has destroyed this country, all egged on by most political parties.
