They rarely add anything positive to society, we certainly don't want to many of them in Ireland.

Banned.

Unsurprisingly, a huge amount of tracksuits among that crowd.

Ah, Waterford people aren't that bad

Seriously though, is angry mobs chasing them out of their homes the answer?

Macavity. · 25-10-2014 10:06pm

Not enough info in that video really.

michellie · 25-10-2014 10:07pm

They have been terrorising Waterford, robbing and beating up people. They do nothing good for the community and people are sick of them.

A heap of them live down that area in 3 houses. Nasty scummy ****ers so they are. They shouldn't be here and apparently the landlords are trying to get rid of them too.

Unfortunately a few unsavoury characters showed up to join in on the protest.

Turtwig · 25-10-2014 10:07pm

Excellent demonstration of my attention span thinking this was yet another water charges protest video when I saw it earlier.

Anyway, relevant to OP:
Angry mob, like most mobs in fact, just being assholes.

Unforts cant get bigger quotation marks.

EDIT: Not saying that The Roma family in question aren't *****. But two ***** don't make a good citizen.

Just edited my post there to add more. They are living down in the centre and hop on people when they are walking home from pubs/clubs and beat them up and Rob from them. And sit in town begging all day.

Dr Turk Turkelton · 25-10-2014 10:12pm

I can't believe no one had mentioned they are not even Romanian yet.

The latter part of my post remains pertinent. Being a **** doesn't absolve the former of being a **** but it does in fact, make you a ****. As evidenced from this and many other examples in recent history, this country needs a more effective legal system. ***** need to be jailed. ***** need to be taught a lesson. Too many ***** are allowed to act like *****. Walking the streets doing **** things and only getting a ****ing slap on the wrist.

To clarify, the word I keep using is the c word.

There are 12 million Roma in Europe, perhaps we can be the first country to really try and give them a break. A few hundred thousand of them may come here then when they hear how kind ireland is to them. I'm sure you will be lobbying your local politicians to ensure they can set up home in your town.

They are getting away with hassle with years attempted to mug a friend of mine last year...how they were left away with it for so long is a disgrace

If this is a follow on from last weeks attack on another criminals last week it will only lead to good news for Waterford
(obviously I dont support burning kids)

Too long knackers left run riot...do we want Waterford to end like limericks...if they would target a certain family supposedly involved in running the now closed down ex club la....they are getting too powerful

They provide a vital rose selling service outside nightclubs at 2am. Ive impressed and pulled many fat Irish slags with the help of a Roma rose seller

Digital Society · 25-10-2014 10:25pm

The Roma's chased an Irish person down the street at 430pm To rob him with knives and batons.

This is in front if a child's playground.

Then this crowd gathered.

Understand that before you start with the racist ***
this was not organised just a bunch of pissed of people. Reminds me of what happened when someone drove down henry street in a car a few years back.

biko · 25-10-2014 10:26pm

Whenever I hear of Roma I get an awful hankering for spaghetti.

That's the oldest pick pocketing scam going... Some young lad drunk buying roses puts wallet into arse pocket and extra Roma robs it....if thats all they were at it would be harmless enough

Watch this link before you jump to conclusions.

Royal Legend · 25-10-2014 10:26pm

There has been a lot of assaults and robbery in that area alone, plus a rape on the Quay, not too worried about the begging, but fellas who carry knives with intent is something else. They are in two or three houses on the main cork road by the Manor.
Its got nothing to do with racism, its to do with ridding the city of a known criminal outfit.

Sonderkommando · 25-10-2014 10:28pm

Can't say I agree with mob rule, but being honest I would hate them living near me. Yes yes, racism discrimination bla bla bla. They are disliked anywhere they go, they should look at there own actions before playing the victim crying to pavee point etc.

Either do our political class. Should we gang up and assault them also?

Call the Gards, call a townhall community meeting, meet with your local representatives.

A mob of tracksuit wearing plonkers surrounding a house (perhaps with kids inside, you don't know) foaming at the mouth is unacceptable.

Can Roma's go to pavee?

wicklowstevo · 25-10-2014 10:31pm

interesting development. the crowd was in fairness shot through with knuckle dragging f tards but at he same time those roma in waterford are agressive abusive criminals who prey on the easy life in ireland , the soft justice system and the generous social welfare.
i am aware that not all roma are from Romania but having spent a little time in Romania i can tell you that they act the same there but are treated much more harshly than here.

im sure their are nice law abding hard working roma out here but (i ve never met one ) but that crew in waterford arent. when they arent mugging folks coming home from the pub and begging and thieving from the local shops the travel the country shoplifting high value items live booze and electrical goods from shops.

i wonder if that sort of " protest" will kick off in other towns

Wasn't there a Facebook page set up a week or two to organise a "confrontation" with them in Waterford, but was subsequently taken down because of the backlash against it?

I don't think a few unsavoury characters just happened to show up, more so it was a planned assault.

I'm no fan of how the travelling community raises it's children and conduct their affairs much of the time, but the day there's a mob of pitchfork wielding bigots surrounding a halting site looking for blood will be a sad indictment of what our society will tolerate.

But understandable. This has been going on for a while, and this is what happens when law abiding citizens feel their concerns are not being listened to or acted on.

punisher5112 · 25-10-2014 10:33pm

They are born and brought up to steal and get food and money any way possible.

They are scam artists, beggers, thiefs and even do be doing the ATM skimming of cards among tons of other things.

For some reason the Irish and their laws are too soft and think everyone are angels and deserve not just a second chance but 10 or more.

These certain groups have been investigated and have been found to have plenty of money and huge homes in their original place of residency.

The Irish tax payer cant afford to keep housing these for free and paying them not to work as they could never take a job as they are already professional thieves.

Of course we will hear the pc brigade on saying how hard they have it and every Irish person is a racist against them etc etc.

wake up to the absolute sh1t that is going on on this small island.

How do you know that they didn't call the guards or talk to their elected representatives about this? Just like in the France and the burqa ban thread, the Irish middle class lefties, who live in predominantly Irish middle class areas, know best. Not the people who actually live in these areas.

The fact of the matter is, while its a good thing to make a public demonstration against scum in your area, ask yourselves. How often would we as a town/city/county/country band together to rid ourselves of a bunch of Irish scumbags. I can't remember many times this has happened to a group of Irish scumbags, if ever.

Wasn't a mob attacking a family.

It was a bunch of............people, protesting outside some houses that are lived in by the criminal elements of the Roma's that live in Waterford.

I have no love for the Roma, particularly the shower that haunt John Street and the surrounding area of my city, but this ****e achieves nothing and can set things off on a dangerous slope.

The area is now a hotspot for assaults, theft, dealing. People are angry and I suppose they don't know what to do when they feel like they are getting nowhere legally but it is not something I would support.

Gael23 · 25-10-2014 10:37pm

These people contribute nothing to society. Instead they claim every benefit under the sun and spend their day begging and terrorising decent people

You mustn't know many people who lived in inner city or west Dublin in the 80s or 90s so.

Yup. Pavee caters to both the Travelling and Roma Communities.

Happened a good lot in the 90's with the whole anti-drugs movement thing in Dublin. It wasn't super effective obviously.

Sinn Fein had no problem confronting scumbag families where I'm from, back in the day.

When that became 'unacceptable' to the masses, the area got destroyed with heroin and other drugs, culminating in 2 families regularly having shoot outs across the local park/football pitches.

Do you actually think this just started today? This has been making news here for months and Guards have done nothing.

They literally walk outside there house and smash bottle's off peoples head for a tenner and a phone.

Today they came out with knives and batons at 4 pm and started robbing random people.

Not even a ****ing traveller would be that bad.
Stop with this meet with your politician ****.

The guards where of course called and once again did jack ****.
