    I was just reading the paper and saw that again this year fire brigades were attacked on Paddy's Day. Why do these people do this?

    There's a lot of people on this planet who simply do not deserve to live. Unfortunate that in the West we make greater than average efforts to keep them this way. :(

    I blame lack of education and morals, these people who do these things were raised by illiterates who don't understand the values of life or appreciate what they have.

    IDIOTS!

    I don't think their literacy or otherwise has a direct impact on their scumminess. They're just f~cktards and trying to blame it on their lack of education is a cop out.

    The Dublin Fire Brigade came under attack while responding to three emergency calls relating to car fires in the Finglas and Cherry Orchard areas.


    That should explain everything.

    Chicken and egg syndrome here.

    Who failed them?

    I say the parents failed them but then again who failed the parents?

    I lived in an area where they would throw rocks at bus's, ambulances, gardai, fire brigades and would stand in front of the fire brigade to block them going anyplace.

    An Post stopped delivering to the area for a time, my Sky installer refused to come into the area, the bus would not come into the area after 8pm in the Summer and 6pm in the winter because of the darkness.

    These fvckwits ruin the area, ruin society and encourage negative thoughts about the good people who actually live in their areas.

    Finglas is simply a victim of the chicken and egg syndrome like many other places in the country.

    For some reason their hatred for the "cops" extends to anyone is uniform.
    They will stone fire trucks and ambulances and then wonder why it takes so long for the emergency services to arrive when their granny is ill.

    The fire engines need to switch off the sirens and lights, as they're clearly being mistaken for ice-cream vans. When the mistake is discovered and the little tyke's hopes are raised, violence ensues.

    I find it difficult to understand this too. I mean, it's not as if they're the gardai, and are out to 'get them' so to speak. The fire brigade help people and save lives!!! People who throw stones at the fire engines must be inbred degenerates, with nothing to do.

    Before people jump down your throat, I agree. Take the Citizen for example. Legend.

    Problem is, the law is so twisted that these **** are protected. When there's a few reforms in the courts and some people won't be thrown in prison for defending themselves, people will stand up more. Like it did back in the day, and it worked quite a bit too. These little ****ers wearn't tolerated.

    The other very relevent flipside is knowing where to draw the line. People can take a fight too far very easily. There's a fine line between looking out for your neighbour and imposing mob rule. It's too much hope to expect everyone to know what that is.

    I say fix the loopholes in the law. I also reckon that the legal system should allow a parent to dicipline their child, as i believe a lot of problems stem from this. Parents smacks their child nowadays and it's taken away from them for "abuse". Very depressing.

    I have to say since the Provisional IRA went on ceasefire,there has being an increase in crime in working class areas,when the movement was active,scumbags of all shapes and sizes were terrified that if they stepped out of line they could end walking funny,but these days scum operate with impunity,nobody to fear but the Gardai,who are hardly anything to be afraid of

    In Moneymore in Drogheda they used to always call the fire brigade and stone it. The same estate that 4 people were killed in a house fire a few days ago. Hopefully the people that take the p!ss out of the firebrigade in that estate will now cop on what an important service it is

    The ****in fire brigade should have an escort
    Not of guards in uniform but a few vans full of masked-up,hired-by-the pound,knuckle-dragging thugs armed with pickaxe handles.
    If the fire engine is attacked,these blokes jump out and smash the offenders to ****.
    They wont be doing it gain.

    The Fire Brigade should leave signs around these "hot-spots" saying - "In the event of a fire, don't call us, we'll call you"


    or alternatively list the new emergency telephone number for those areas:
    04578241563148792540008785492166971354974253184570005684211658394543647521893

    My cousin works for the fire service and was punched and kicked in the face and stomach whilst trying to put out a house fire before.


    Why can't the likes of these people be put onto aran islands and have the place bombed.

    It seems we are just to easy with scum in this country ( & the uk ).
    Those police on the uk cop shows are useless. always talking to drunken scum and then letting them off.
    In the us the lads are called "law enforcement". They don't take **** the way the irish and uk cops do,
