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

I didn't want to discriminate..

Every big city has an underclass - Dublin is not an outlier in that regard. Last night was recreational rioting by members of that underclass, it was totally opportunistic.

Where we are an outlier is housing a large proportion of that underclass right in the middle of the city. Maybe that is something we should be actively looking to change.

The real problem is PBP TD's mouthing off and using this to push the 'far roish are among us and must be eradicated crap while ignoring the fact that the city centre is now owned by feral thugs. They (the thugs) have no political leanings, they just used the bad atmosphere to loot and riot, which is their default setting. McEntee failed to deal with the warnings, following serious muggings over the last two years. Result is the thuggery we saw last night. We need TD's to agree to get police on the ground, visible and make the centre safe for citizens. The immigration issue needs to be addressed. Strict controls must be implemented, we need the nurses, doctors, engineers etc, we know this. We don't need the freeloaders, scum kicked out of their own countries, and other adventurists coming here for no good reason.

I know when I grew up in the 80s you respected your teachers and your friend's parents also in addition to the Gardai.

hmmm, as ethnic middle eastern

I better keep my paperwork on me at all times then

in case i get jumped or stopped at a checkpoint by these scumbags,

i should have my Irish passport and original critical skills work permit ready to show.

that should make a difference, right ?

give me a break.

those are just racist scum. no paperwork is going to change that.

No but I'm not naive enough to think they won't be out

Nonsense.

I have been in Paris , Barcelona, Madrid, Milan and often felt unsafe. Large parts of those cities are ropey as f late at night.

To try to claim Dublin is the only scummy city is cr@p.

Totally agree - coupled with the very effective results and responses Twitter and book face can illicit in terms of rent a mob which I saw a few examples of yesterday of those who are thick as two planks, are complete wasters for whatever sociological reason you care to choose, and have a personality that’s easily led and made up of peer influenced prejudices and fear mongering.

The sort of people who hang out in conspiracy forums and attack paediatricians in their homes.

100 percent. Lock them up in cold jails half stave them and have them out spitting rocks 14hours a day.any politicians who come out and propose some kind of justice reform would get my vote .build a new prison and get new judges ffs.these scrotes are taking over the streets all over the country.

Where were these so called protesters when an Irish teen stabbed a harding working mother of two to death outside the IFSC why weren't they rioting. looting and protesting then.

Not at all.

In France it doesnt happen on the Champs Elysee does it? That prob has something to do with it.

The same garbage was propagated amongst the eejits across the water, look where they are now.

Why use a "probably"? for someone offering advice on a situation, how do you equate "probably" with knowledge of the subject you seem keen on trying to impart?

Have you asked the Guards how they feel?

What exactly are the EU telling you to do that is so objectionable? Have you seen your MEP about this? I found mine very helpful and found that my "EU problem" wasn't an EU problem at all, it was simply my bank playing the blame game and blaming the EU for their shortcomings. It was common in the UK for everyone to blame the EU for all kinds of fiction, but this was the AIB.

I don't think there are too many immigrants in Ireland, I find those that I come into contact with quite a pleasure to deal with. One of the things I find so attractive about the country is its welcome for those from around the world as well as the generosity it has in sharing its citizens with other nations around the planet in turn. It was a sheer pleasure to meet up with Irish people as I travelled the world when working.

Maybe it isn't a popular approach in modern times to look on One's fellow men as equals, but it certainly provides peace of mind.

If you want some positivity, Ireland is actually one of the safest places in Europe - certainly when you look at the murder rate.

The relative rarity of truly shocking crime (plus our relative surfeit of media outlets for a small country) means that such crimes tend to get outsized coverage and commentary.
