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

Did they not report one child discharged yesterday?

maybe there were 3 children stabbed. I thought two

Except when they do do their job, such as chasing three known violent burglars on the motorway, where said burglars were driving on the wrong side of the road leading to them ending up (thankfully) as roadkill, they get prosecuted.

They arrest a lad for assault, and a week later they're doing the same to the same lad because te judge thinks it was on the minor scale of things and lets him back out with a fine.

They have to watch lads as young as 13 wreak havoc in towns until the turn 18 because mammy is too busy getting pumped by whichever lad is giving her the cheapest drugs to raise him properly, because it's never the poor dears fault that and can't be punished despite being clearly old enough to tell right form wrong.

Some Guards just shouldn't be anywhere near their job, but the vast majority are good people doing a job where they're outnumbered, with hands tied behind their backs, where they run the risk of assault regularly, and where they have watch god awful shite happen repeatedly because they neither have the resources to tackle it or decades of societal negligence by government after government have created environments where criminality flourishes.

Had they said last night "screw GSOC", went in and laid down a full on baton charge and hospitalized a few scumbags, the response from the authorities would be to punish the Guards involved, GSOC would have a field day, there'd have an inquiry demanded within the Dail into Garda responses and behaviour, several politicians would start claiming the Guards are worse than the criminals and look to punish the force as a whole and introduce measures to tie the Guards hands even more, and the scumbags and their solicitors would have a field day with the claims.

The net result being anyone looking on wanting to be a Guard, says to themselves, "I'll try something else, it's not worth it".

Yes. Just saw that now. Thanks.

The riot is a consequence of no consequences for feral scum all their lives.

There will be more unless reality returns to policing. The politic lobby and ngos who never met a criminal they didnt have an excuse for and see police as the enemy need to be told where to go and funding given to police, courts, prisons.

It's obviously got issues. No different to a lot other cities though as I've pointed out. Scenes like last night are a regular occurrence across the Continent & UK.

I'm in the CC twice a month on average fpr socialising and I think it's a great place.

But I'd 100% back the complete removal of all Social housing from D1/2/3/4 etc

1. GSOC would go through the gardai for a shortcut.

2. That is the wrong statement. There are too many without any level of education and of no use to this economy, they are a drain.

Lots and lots of immigrants that work and pay tax. They can stand on their own two feet financially. Those we want and need. More than welcome.

Making a stand to get more free stuff and fire s££t at the Gardai

Many many countries citizens think like that, but nothing changes. Last night a spark caused a fire not seen before, now imagine what happens if a stadium hosting a concert is attacked, buses and trains blown up, trucks driving into people at Christmas markets. Not scaremongering, but it is possible and probably just a matter of time. Then what ?

Harris has just said there was no failure.

Goodbye Harris.

it goes back much much further than a year

Dublin City is a neglected kip in many ways - not just crime - it's filthy and unkempt - there's no civic pride at all

There's a pervasive culture of neglect in all arms of the state where Dublin is concerned. Not just justice.

Yes. To your credit, the entire concepts of riots and civil unrest didn't exist in any European or Western society before the common denominator immigration. In fact, Europe was very much the poster child for Utopian peaceful harmony between white European peoples and absolutely was not plagued for centuries by a largely perpetual cycle of violence, unrest or civil war — nor was it the cradle for two of the most destructive wars in human history.

We need to talk sensibly as to why the common denominator immigration is now shattering those centuries of peace and love. Above all, I think we need to have a sensible discussion about how it was actually migrants that told the rioters last night that they should torch the Luas and loot Arnotts and if it weren't for migrants these rioters would have been happily sitting at home putting up the decorations and getting ready for the Toy Show.

Those bloody common denominators, comin' ova' eeah'.

Investigations ongoing - we’ll only get a brief background outline of this person in the coming days and then very little before the trial - if not related or known to the children in question (ie a random attack) then it’s quite likely it’s the same explanation given for any other such attacks we’ve seen elsewhere in Europe - I’m guessing either some form of mental illness, high on drugs or some form of radicalisation - take your pick.

I agree that is a stupid comment. A riot is a little different

There's social housing in D4?

Maybe it a single house with those 6 ukranians in it?
