    I love stereotypes.

    I met a car load of travellers walking home on my own one night. One got out and punched me in the face. Never happened before and hasn't happened since.

    I am saying that a brave Garda (not the first) lost his life in service to his country. I have never ever, ever heard of a traveller make a similar sacrifice for this country. Thats why I will not equate them as the same class of person.

    I am not dragging anyone's names anywhere.

    This quite an emotive Issue for a lot of people me included.

    I'm surprised the OP decided to post this thread given what has happened in Donegal & the funeral that took place in Mayo.
    Disgusting & in bad taste in my opinion.

    Generalisations don't generally work ;). But they have a certain level of truth. Don't fight fact

    I heard the Gardai plan to reverse the polarities in the Large Hadron Collider 2012 and kill us all.

    Probably won't happen until 2015 at the earliest so!

    ..the other day we had a conversation about members of the travelling community and what they gets up to.
    Now im not tryin to put anyone down here,so please bear with me mods.

    anyway the conversation swung around to our Gardai siokulanai.
    We ended up saying that they were in fact just as bad as the travellers or if not worse.
    we both knew people in the forces who were into selling stolen cars ,letting people off with drink driving on more than one occasion.their sons selling drugs.

    just wondering from everybody else what have you come across,and where the fcuk is the gardai ombudsman.
    this country is going downhill so fast and we all sit back and do SFA.

    Tell us about your experiences with them.:pac:

    Heard the Guards have read your post and are in the process of profiling you.

    So if i was you, i'd run_for_da_hills

    Typical over-compensation. He was probably nicking tea bags when you all went home in the evening.

    The Gardai round my way buy in monkeys off ebay, tart them up with some lipstick and the like. Then they pimp them out as cheap eastern european ladies of the night, FACT!

    Which part of Kildare is that exactly?

    A Guard selling a stolen car & another Guards son knowingly selling drugs? If it is true then report it, but I have a feeling it's hearsay.

    it could be, i know since they split up times have been tough and non of them got any record deals

    The only way to sort this one out is to ring Joe Duffy...

    You and your traveller friend should go talk to Paul Reynolds...

    I was talking to a guy today and he told me scientology could solve all my problems.

    This was also in the papers yesterday.
    Gardai can also accidentally kill people.

    Just because a couple of gardai died doesn't mean others can't be talked about.

    Way too many people have less & less respect for guards even though they deal with the scum of society to try & make life safer for the rest of us.

    I think it's disgusting the way people run Guards into the ground thinking that all they do is eat takeaway, avoid rows & tolerate drug dealers.

    Have you ever walked down abbey street in the day time????
    Every day I walk down there and theres normally at least one deal going down. I can probably count on one hand the amount of times I've seen a guard down there in the last 3 years!

    Yes there'd be an element of risk involved but thats what they're there for, to protect the rest of society....

    End rant
