Time to take action on the rise in civil unrest in ireland

RobitTV

The amount of break-ins and murders and looting is shocking, everyday on my local radio station you hear -"a number of houses were broken into in the early hours, a woman was held at knife point at a petrol station, someone was stabbed in a park, etc etc....."

It's getting to the point where it's frightening and you start to think "oh god my house could be next" and you get suspicious of any car/van that parks nearby housing estates.

And now their doing it in Broad daylight, they don't care anymore as far as i can see and they planned out which house's to watch and break in while the person or person's have left.

I Mean its worrying, its a like a "free for all" a mass looting spree and doing harm to other's, A Woman was stabbed to death in Roscommon today aswell.

I Would 100% call this Civil Unrest, the rise is huge and the damage to families is horrible.

I Fear this is going to continue and get even worse, Action need's to be taken...

We need action now, before this get' out of hand, and spirals into mass rioting nationwide.

I Also need your ideas...

1. The Irish defence force's were trained for civil unrest back in early 2010, i think it may be time to use their help in Looting Hotspot areas.
2. The gardai and the goverment MUST be tougher, and draw up plan's to deal with the rise in unrest.
3. Criminals be given longer jail sentences, crackdown on known thugs.
4. Intellegence gathering, gather a stockpile of information on the overall crime in ireland and Local gardai stations do intellegence gathering in their area's.

Anymore idea's...?

I'd suggest a few deep breaths and a cup of sweet tea first off.

It always makes me laugh very, very hard when someone claims Ireland is a lawless and dangerous country. I suggest you do a bit of traveling OP and see what it's like in other countries, we have it fairly good here.

I wouldnt call that civil unrest.

In fairness, the Gardai to nothing about this problem bar file a report and hope you have home content insurance.

It really does not seem like they care but it is most likely due to lack of resources and evidence in most cases.

I got my parents to get a camera alarm system recently after much convincing I've got Alarms for our house because the landlord hasn't installed one because we found someone hopping over the back wall one night before he legged it. Called the police and some details taking and they said they were spotted in a few backyards so far that night but nothing done AFAIK and I know people living the area for years who say that it is a few families and they are known to the gardai but yet nothing happens.

It is all very puzzling and obviously something isn't working.

Oh I should expand that I wouldn't call it civil unrest but petty crime

Rise in petty crime is really not the same as a rising tide of civil unrest. I take it the OP has never been through a recession before.
