That's absolutely sickening tbh, hope the two students are doing well

These scum should be locked up for a long while IMO, stabbing someone just for a few 'electronics' :mad:

Was wandering back up college road yesterday morning at 11-ish and there was a paddy wagon, garda car and garda bike around with about six guards, two guys wearing bandages standing out talking to them...this explains it.

My friends had there house (behind college nook) broken into aswell, completely trashed. Took 11 people 2 hours to clean the kitchen. I also know of 2 houses on McCurtain Villas being broken into. It's crazy... could have happened any of us. Hope they're doing ok

This city is going to the dogs. I've been living here now for 4 years and the place has gotten so bad over the last 6 months. Just last weekend a friend of mine was beaten up by 3 guys outside Hillbillys beside the Peace Park. He was standing outside eating a snack box and they asked him for it. He said no and they jumped on him. My mate is only a little guy. He's skinny and isn't more than 5'7. He had to get stitches in his hand and he has a black eye and some bruising in general around that area.The guys have been caught but I doubt anything serious will be done to them.

Tribes is taking a turn for the worse now as well. A lot of rough types are starting to frequent it, especially after 8pm.

CantGetNoSleep

Not surprised at all by this, heard of several break ins already around there, and its only the first week

I was living in a house on McCurtain Villas over the summer and the place was robbed when 2 of us were asleep inside. We moved out as soon as it happened and moved to a far more secure house, but I heard the same house was robbed again this week.

Ha that's the house I was on about Sam, mercy = flynn.

I was living in sunview terraces over the summer and my friend got car jacked outside our house at about 11pm. Guy came up to him with a screw driver and threatened him and made him drive to blackrock where he made a go to stab him but thankfully cut across his stomach instead of impalling him. The city is becoming a very dangerous place to live in.
With college getting back into the swing of things i can only see things getting worse.

captainspeckle

this is so messed up! :mad:

I read somewhere a while back that statistically, when an economy is in recession, crime rates sky rocket. I'd say this is definately the case... scumbags looking to make a quick buck.


makes me sick.

two guys living next door to the 2 lads in the article above were attacked aswell last week by a pack of knackers. Kicked in the face and everything. one of um is going for a scan because he has a suspected broken nose.... Anarchy reins!

Ri_Nollaig

god this is sickening to hear.
I only graduated in 08 and while I heard of the odd few break ins, nothing was ever this bad.
Some serious examples need to be made for these scumbags.

This is genuinely frightening, while there were always problems with break-ins into student houses from college road all the way out towards glasheen road and barrack street directions, these incidents did not usually involve violence (at least in the past). It all sounds sinister and premeditated to be honest.

Sadly the one thing that won't happen is any sort of serious example being made of this scum.

ya we almost got killed by 40 scumbags the other night too, if not for a chinese letting us in...its pretty awful if you ask me...i mean 16 year old kids who have no life goals or anything doing stuff like that...

odin_ie

I was living near castlewhite last year, had a hurl beside my bed all year...just in case something like this were to happen. Not a solution to the problem, but sure as hell made me feel safer.

ive been living in cork all my life

the city goes through cycles, it gets very bad for about 3 months then it clears up

the violence in town is linked to one group that hang outside hillbillies on thurs nights, they dont go college, there's usually about 30 of them ages 16-22 they try to start fights with random people and if the fight escaltes they all group together, they specifically go outside hb to get into fights, it all started because Bondi Beach started letting in people who weren't students on thurs nights, now Bondi Beach is closed but these people still come out despite probably not getting in anywhere

i wouldnt be too worried about them...just aware of them

I would'nt mind the robbery side of it, that's going to happen anywhere, and as someone pointed out we can expect a rise in robbery rates due to the economic climate etc.

But stabbing someone in the back?!?!

That's not something that the police can ignore, that guy could have been killed, and where would we be then?!

There's a big difference between stealing a snack box or an ipod, and stabbing someone.
