Seems to be the same all over the country at the moment. Little scrotes out trying to make a name for themselves. Cavan town has been very bad for it this past few months...

This is exactly what it is. Young lads thinking they're tough and trying to live up to the reputation given to a county after a few ****ty incidents.

I was in Limerick myself last week with two friends, stopped walking to take a sip of my water and had six lads (probably between 18yrs - 22yrs) tell us they had a shotgun and we better keep moving. Obviously they didn't. And obviously we gave them no interest whatsoever but your post is bang on. Silly, frightened little boys trying to hide behind a reputation caused by a handful of wasters.

You'd expect that sort of stuff to happen in cities hence its no surprise. You do not expect what happened in Mayo to all have had happened all in a week!

You never heard of Stab City?!

Everyone knows stab city, it's over sensationalised crap coined by the tabloids in an attempt to make money. I blame people like Paul Williams for this, he turns these petty criminals into big baddies and gives them nicknames which they and their like see as a mark of honour.

I don't see why people expect small towns to be safer than cities. Every town, village and city has a small undesirable element whose actions paint an area in a bad light. Yes there has been a number of incidents in Mayo the past week but no more than every other county. A few stabbings does not mean an epidemic of violence.

People in towns and villages have been getting stabbed for decades, the only difference is that not it's news worthy enough to sell a paper. People will resort to violence at the flip of a coin and this isn't some new occurrence. Violence in our society has existed since the dawn of human and will continue only these days people can make money out of it and will milk every incident of violence for all that they can.

It has about as much basis in reality as half of this thread.

There are some lovely parts of Dublin. All of them in the South East of Co. Dublin.

But the rest of Dublin ****ty is a greasy armpit, especially the North and West. Unfortunately inbred knackers from these areas are now moving West, with their bad complexions, trackies, supped-up micras, and hideous haircuts.:eek:

I blame the Govt for allowing them to leave their drug-infested, litter-strewn corporation estates! They should be subject to curfews!

They haven't though. This stuff didn't happen at all in Mayo when I lived there in the 70's and 80's. Anyone in Mayo will tell you. Sure, there were fights after the pubs closed but no one got stabbed or murdered.

I think you'll find that Roscommon people are stereotyped as sheep-shaggers not Mayo people.

Might I add I was amazed at how long it took for a reference to the Hardy Bucks or the Playboy of the Western World to crop up.

Poor Uncle Tom

Wake up, that happened in 1979....

in 20 years time they will have guns

I can find dozens of people who were stabbed with broken bottles, screw drivers and knives in Mayo during the past 30 years.

It's all that hippity hop music's fault! Little skangers thinking they're fifty euro!

onemorechance

99% caused by alcohol

Why arent people talking about the real cause of stabbings in ballinrobe. Most people from Ballinrobe and the Guardai know that it was travellers who were responsible. They are animals, this is there way of celebrating a Christening.

I know of one lad who was slashed with a glass bottle in Foxford nearly two decades ago. Several whom were stabbed in Ballina. Hell last year during the heritage day some lad was stabbed near the river in the middle of the day. One lad in college with me from Swinford has a scar across his chest from where he was got with a stanley knife.

There are numerous more examples of this over the past few decades.

postmeister

the bull in the shop was tyring to hide the locals, apparently. when the:rolleyes: bulls hide away, you know you are in a rough place.

Man stabbed in a chipper in Charlestown about 30 years ago. Man murdered in Kilkelly with a hayknife about 20 years ago. Thats just my own corner of Mayo I'm sure there were many more examples from other parts of the county.

Bit extreme. At least have a kid first and we'll see if it's anything like you. If so you can then get sterilized and we'll send the kid off to TD college where he'll feel more included.

Well this is it, i know its not the best city in the country but this whole stab city sh*ite is just a bit dated now. Not to mention statistically incorrect.

You make it sound like a bad thing.

You obviously have not seen some one dying from the effects of heroin at 30 years of age or have had to visit detox centres. Cop on drugs are fun for a few hours. Eventually they ruin everything - personally and society in general.

Dalkey is gone to hell!
I hear Van the Man, Bono and Pat Kenny are afraid to leave their overpriced sheds!
Enya is scared of nuthin, and can regularily be seen gettin drunk and picking fights in McDonaghs!
