Children stabbed in Dublin city centre **Read OP before posting**

If only there was a slew of violent assaults in Dublin that could have warned us that the place was full of feral scumbags.

A perfect storm tipped over yesterday and if a lot of things don't change it will happen again.

Blame the scummy youth for being scum but don't ignore the under resourced policing capability, the weak revolving door self serving justice system and social welfare handouts that gives these people an armchair ride in society.

Blame the “right wing” for stoking the flames but dont ignore the huge number of normal people who protested peacefully to no avail in places like Inch, killarney, rosslare, fermoy and the north wall.

Blame the government for not consulting, integrating or being transparent in whats happening.

Blame the individual immigrant that commits the crime but dont ignore the conditions legitimate refugees have to live in, decades in direct provision is not right either. We need to address the balance of what people claiming protection get because the legitimate ones dont get enough and the chancers get to much.

This problem has multiple issues and people are quick and wrong to simplify it

No news overnight about the victims, hopefully they all recover.

Due to head Mater direction from the south side shortly, assume things have settled down?

It's been building for months or years even. Lots of anti immigrant protests everywhere, all over the country.

Then you've horrific murders by immigrants in last couple of years.

It just needed a spark and it got it today.

I knew there'd be rioting and mayhem.

The only positive thing is I don't think anyone was hurt amongst all the mayhem.

I have heard O'Connell St. closed off

These are mindless ferals not "irish kids". They are burning the bus for fun nowhere near under it.

I don't think such base criminality was ever her concern in justice. Her focus was elsewhere.

Looting Foot locker will really stick it to the man.

Saw footage of feral scum cornering a Garda, luckily he was well built. A pack of hoodie and Canada Goose filth attacking him. Another Garda came to help, both had to leg it into a sgop, while the braying mob tried to get them.

I sadly agree. But I still have hope in humanity that they'd have done the right thing and not let this lead to violence.

But unfortunately, domino effect. Too many factors lead to this.

And honestly, condemning these people (the rioters I mean, I can't comment on the events before this) is, in my humble opinion, the wrong approach.

We need to open a dialogue. Back in the day, you'd have these folks on the Late Late Show or Prime Time, and they'd be debated, and often their opinions would be shown to be complete hokum. The best ways to quell the negativity is to put it out in the open, not lock it away as 'wrongthink'. I mean, issues that were controversial years ago (such as homosexuality) when discussed and debated on the LLS, showed how these folks were just regular folks who went home with someone of the same gender. Not monsters, vilified by the kinds of people who were doing some of the most heinous crimes themselves. Just people.

But there's nobody there who can do this sort of debate, anymore. The last time they tried that on Prime Time, they brought on the guy from Gript, and the host, Louise Byrne, made such a mess of things, that RTE ended up having to pay out around €20,000 to someone that was defamed by the Gript guy. Byrne wasn't long for replacing after that, and Miriam had to issue two or three apologies.

I’m no expert in crime but I have experience in management, part of being a good manager is predicting trends and pre-empting problems.

when you see an American tourist losing an eye by being attacked by teenage feral thugs , you know you have a particular problem.

when you see daily videos of these teenage thugs rampantLy stealing bikes , e-bikes and motorcycles in broad daylight , you know you have a problem.

Allowing this open criminality to go on unchecked for the best part of a year , emboldened this teenage masked community and no doubt expanded them.

no doubt their notoriety on social media is part of the lure .

in short there’s probably way less than 2-400 scum like tis in the city who should have been specifically ‘taken out’ by law enforcement over the last year .

instead those ‘400’ set up media groups and rings to help each other and show whose in charge of the streets last night .

this didn’t happen in isolation , this was very predictable , Harris and Mc Entee are culpable and need to step down , if they’re not forced to, FG will suffer big time come elections, and rightly so.

Wrong. Helen is great at her job and anyone who think's otherwise is a sexist/misogynistic pig .

Like babies and maternity leave?
