One of my mates at work was telling me at dinner that this hoodrats gang in Tuam, their latest 'venture' is waiting outside pubs at nite, they randomly just pick someone leaving the pub and beat them to a pulp.

As i clicked out this thread i happened to listening to a song called Ghetto War by a german metal called Kreator:

Out there in the shadows of suburbia
Minds consumed by substance only cold hearts survived
A gathering of mutants in disorder
Way below the surface something is still alive

Confrontation, terror is the law
Beneath the ruins of this Ghetto War!

seriously though. I can't understand why the normal thinking people of tuam dont do something about this. Organise & burn them out their of f**kn houses. Sounds a bit harsh? Cant see what else is being done.

Your only going down to their level really.

Id be more with arresting these loonies .... irons and chains on them 24 hours a day .... nice bright illuminous overalls .... paint bucket and brush .... and spend five years cleaning up the town they are thrashing.

It's of public record these names should not be removed

You must put links in the same post as you make accusations in, otherwise I'll remove it as hearsay/rumour spreading.
I will not try to find your links for you, you must do that yourself. Also it should be newspaper links, not heard over the radio as it cannot be verified unless it's printed.

Again - without links in post to reputable source you can not name names.
Hope that clears it up for everyone.

Well I for one am delighted to hear someone is finally laying into these little spastics.........

When people take the law into their own hands, we are all in danger.
The innocent are as likely to be victims of 'revenge attacks' as the guilty.
This has already happened on more than one occassion in Tuam recently.
The 'vigilante' family you're referring to are no heroes.
Their innocent victims can testify to that, and will be doing so in Tuam District Court or Galway Circuit Court soon.

I think the media and some members of the Town Council got carried away with this hood rat thing,these young people are only runts and need a little guidance.A good kick in the pants would sort most of them out but one is more than surprised to hear where the Majority of these young people are from.I would advise againist giveing them crediblity.:eek:

I'm afraid I don't agree with you here. I've lived in a number of towns in county Galway, including Tuam. I intended to buy a house in Tuam. But the gangs of youngsters (and some much older hoodlums, old enough to know better) were simply too intimidating to me. It's a shame, because the town is lovely, with a good proximity to Galway city and Castlebar. It's a shame it's "hub status" never got it any decent public transportation. I think that's half the problem-if you don't have a car, you can't get anywhere from Tuam. And, there is very little to do in the town. So bored young people(and others, not just youngsters) find ways to entertain themselves, ways that unfortunately aren't socially acceptable to most of us. Finding jobs is tough if you live in the town but don't drive as well.

The other towns I've lived in had minor problems, but NOTHING on the scale of what I've seen in Tuam. I've never felt intimidated anywhere else the way I did there. In Tuam, I was often truly afraid I'd be hurt, over nothing!

When are we Irish going to stop tolerating rubbish like these people and saying ah sure they are just misguided - and just give the guards AK47s!!!

We are taught to respect. We are told everyone is sacred. But it's 1 am, I have had a bad day, and I just feel (at this stage!) that walkiong garbage like these ought to be just obliterated from society!!!!

I know the couple years I lived in Tuam, I can count the number of times I saw police foot patrols on one hand. I saw them in their cars quite often, I just never saw them get OUT of them! Now, the past four or five times I've recently driven through Tuam, I've seen foot patrols. Foot patrols seem much more useful than cruising around in cars. Sadly, I do believe you are right, the gardes are doing the best they can with the limited resources they have. And you are right again, it's not helping that people aren't making complaints against those causing the problems. But the fact of the matter is, they aren't complaining...because they are afraid! It seems in Ireland, that if you don't live in Dublin, you just don't count, and don't have the rights Dubliners take for granted:( Most of the money seems to stay there, and things that simply aren't considered acceptable in Dublin, are accepted in other parts of the country, because there is no choice in the matter.

Well Ive travelled about myself and Tuam is now my home... I do feel safe and I've never felt intimidated... These youths are thriving on the attention they are getting.... At the end of the day they are getting away with a lot of things because people refusing to make complaints against them... I personally feel that Garda patrols are not great in Tuam and as a result these youths are running riot... It's a typical reaction from the superintendent in Tuam to increase patrols following the fight near the bridge bar... However has anyone notice these patrol have stopped... This week the Garda commissioner announced that the overtime budget was cut by half... Naturally Dublin and Limerick will receive most these resources and Tuam won't even feature... So less overtime inmy mind would mean less patrols correct me if I'm wrong. I do appreciate the gardai are doing their best though

well I have lived in Tuam all my life it is a great Town,and quite honestly it is a safe Town to live in.The so called hoodrats are not worth discussing ?
