Enough is enough? Dublin north inner city crime

As you correctly stated, as long as you can afford it.

I doubt that those who are starting these attacks, won't be able to afford the places you've mentioned.

Thats the problem you absolutely nailed it. No respect anymore. My parents in their seventies now always saying this and I see it myself. Years ago people were poor yet there was respect and low to no crime. Now there is so much aggression and crime is everywhere not just Dublin inner city. There are so many work/ education/ recreation opportunities in this country and yet look at the crime. Hope this poor man makes a good recovery.

Once seen Romanian police in action in a similar situation and these Spanish lads are gentle in comparison but if those had been Gardai , they would all have been immediately suspended arrested and prosecuted .

in reality many of our more recent immigrants have no respect for our police unless given reason to fear them , which is rare while our home grown or 2 and 3 generation scum have no regard as they know the consequences are minimal. The use of physical force against them results in far more consequences for the person using it than the violence they use daily.

Irish people are always demanding firm policing unless its on them or some one they know or relate to

The police in Ireland operate under a microscope in a environment where the government and media seem to hate us and our own management are so out of touch with reality as to be just another obstacle.

there is occasional public support from people who could be called as ordinary decent people but that is eroding due to ineffectiveness of the force to protect them and provide a service worth having

but that would take leadership and decisions that would be unpopular with many

A 14 yo attacking a 57 yo US tourist is what it takes to distract FFG from their sacred mission of protecting "the vulnerable groups within our society" and ignoring the reality on our streets. Of course this will be only a temprorary reprieve, normal service will soon be resumed and Helen out waving flags at a parade. Still it's great to see their summer being marginally disrupted and entertaining to watch strong Leo and brave Helen talk tough, LOL!

These are the same 14 year olds making TikToks videos of themselves with huge knives in broad daylight.

in the circumstances you outlined ive come across tow kinds of people produced in these environments ,

one kind works hard and improves their position and prospects , if that cant be done here they leave and go some where better which is improved by their presence and accordingly their lives are improved also . a hard life but rewarding and progressive

the other kind wallow in self pity and the filth that surrounds them weather thier making or not. regardless they improve it in no way nor try to

they permanently have their hands out for more, they claim to be the victim of society while at the same time victimize anyone that they can. they add nothing and take everything.

one might argue its human nature but we don't have to pander to them just to make some people feel better about themselves

I don't know all the facts in both cases so I can't make a snap judgement like you can.

they sound a bit like Hitlers stormtroopers.....

Presumably the gaurdia civil would also be prosecuted for attacking the vulnerable person. We prosecute our own gardaí for chasing criminals. Why would it be any different
