    Can I just point out something, how many were at this ****e last night? 45,000? It would be safe to say 99% of those there had/have no interest in Swedish House Mafia. It was just an excuse to get 'out of it' and make up for no Oxygen

    By that rationale it would also be safe to say you're exaggerating or just talking plain old BS

    Can I make a counter point? 7 people were stabbed. Even it was 45 people in total who overdosed, stabbed others, that's still only 0.1%. So, using logical thought instead of arbitrary accusations, I believe that 99.9% were there just to watch SHM and have a good time.

    It would be safe to say that 93.464585% of statistics on the internet are wrong

    Thats just crap tbh. I would say its safe to say 99% were there for the music.

    I don't want to start an argument but if you honestly are trying to say drugs aren't at fault, you're insane.

    Sure, alcohol is at fault. But it's at fault along with drugs and general scumbag actions.

    You can't just say "nope, it was all the alcohol, the drugs didn't matter at all".
    The people who did it are to blame, not alcohol, not drugs.

    They'll often stagger into the medical tents at these kinds of gigs and complain of being breathless or having palpitations etc and it's usually because they took not one or two E tablets but 5,6,7 or they took a 'bit of speed and a couple of pills' I remember a fella telling me before that he took twenty cos they were '****e' no need to say what his ECG looked like!
    Do they usually die though? I've seen people take way too much, certainly couldn't have sought medical attention themselves and didn't really need it.

    It was more the mentality of people that I was getting at, and I've seen a couple that would have been up **** creek if it wasn't for medical intervention.

    Why didnt they go on Thursday night instead?

    Dance/trance music or what ever it is they play is going to be where they would want to be popping pills and what not. Not alot of teens in Ireland are big Stone Roses fans. Look at SHM record sales in Ireland,I would imagine it's **** all

    I know people that went to see them that say they hate dance music?. I'd say the majority there know 2 or 3 songs (the ones that made the top 10) at the most

    I think most people were there for a good time. Not in the manner of "get stoned/drunk and tear it up lads" good time. But mostly because it was a gig. I doubt most people went there with the aim of having to fight or getting overly drunk.

    yes, we can look at the positive side but we seem to be doing a lot of this. We saw on the one only sunny day here in Sandycove total and utter mob knacker rule.

    Your children are not safe out there, it's not handbags at dawn it is knives.

    00000 tolerance; laws galore but either no enforcement or no resources to enforce = banana republic.

    This city imo is under siege to Knacks.

    You do realise that the Roses were at the forefront of the whole late 80s/early 90s E love-in?

    You can come up with statistics to prove anything. 40% of people know that.

    Lovely, so everyone there is a scumbag?


    Yes, do you know what over-exgeration and blatant bulls**t is?

    Everyone i saw could be classed there yes. But i suppose it depends on what you class as a scumbag. Personally i find people pissing in a public park to be pretty scummy and that alone was rampant.

    Why would the prison population have dropped? Just think about that for a second. Are they doing day release to the Phoenix Park now? Maybe you meant to say 'potential prison population'? It's equally as f*cking daft, but at least shows a semblance of logical thought. Think before you type. It helps.

    I'd be confident that a good chunk of the people there were on TR, bail or had warrants for them.

    Simples. Different crowd completely. Your average scum has the same taste in music as a donkey does, and would have no clue who The Stone Roses are. So, basically they didn't turn up like they did at Swedish House Mafia. I think pointing fingers at drug use for the stabbings is a bit harsh at the moment.

    thats exactly the point im trying to make, it wasnt the drug use. it was the people.

    It is a fact that there are people who go to these things for a ''day out on the tear'' and do not care about the music. People that know that there will be lads and girls that will not be as confrontational who they can take advantage of. Anyone who has been to these concerts will have seen this along with Oxegen.

    Scum will be scum.

    At an event with a large amount of people there is always going to be the danger of trouble, sometimes it kicks off, others times not.

    you get plenty of trouble in city centres around the country every weekend, its a human condition. Some people are just dickheads

    Were they the ones which done the stabbings guv'ner?

    I've no idea - I wasn't there, and there doesn't seem to be any decent reports anywhere.
    I never insinuated that drugs were the blame for any stabbings.
    But they are the blame for the alleged deaths of 3 people.
