Group patrolling the town

Anyone can walk around public areas.

Anything else depends on what they do/are planning to do.

"Concerned citizens"

In the main, these are violent thugs with little education, mostly unemployed and almost always in social housing costing taxpayers tens of thousands every year.

They contribute absolutely nothing to society and think violence is the answer to everything.

I reality, they are just stupid thugs.

Thank god for the ignore option with the high horse brigade.

At least the drug pushers were actually doing something illegal!

They feel wrong.

No one wants or need 'vigilantes ' deciding if d foreigners are breaking laws and doling out justice themselves.

How exactly do they define "migrants following people"?

don’t you need a tax clearance certificate and a Garda reference to join a vigilante group.

"We ve decided to start a community patrol in (area) . Theres been too many incidents regarding people been followed. We are looking to you as a mother,father,grandmother, grandfather, uncle, aunty to help us form a group and patrol the streets at different times and days. We will do a rota. So if interested in serving your community and helping to keep our families safe please pm us 👨‍👩‍👧‍👧 We asked other groups and it seems we need to register as a neighbourhood watch group with our local garda station so they can give us information and assign a member of the Gardaí to us if ever we needed assistance 💚. "

This is what was posted on at least one FB page.

From reading it. It doesn't sound like a walking group to me, considering it was posted on a" concerned citizens " page!

Christ almighty. It's not a huge jump between a community foot patrol and perhaps a more thuggish element carrying out Northern Ireland style punishment beatings against alleged offenders.

Neighborhood watch, is a good thing.

A 'anti migrant group' set up patrols because ' migrants are following people ' seems to be a very different creature.

oh look I know- I looked up online and found this - citizens patrol is a thing in America- believe it or not it’s a thing in China too where they report other citizens for the simplist thing like littering or bad parking, to the authorities- they’re basically neighbourhood spies - your every movement is reported back to the authorities

I think we know in Ireland, the Gardai don’t like this type of vigilante group which is essentially what they’re doing here and personally I’m not a fan either- they’re the sort of group that would end up lynching a pediatrician.
