Joyriding Scum In Limerick City

gambithh

This toyota levin was stolen from the parkway round about in the early hours of saturday morning.

It spent all day saturday driven in the manner above around South hill before been burned in the middle of a road once it could drive no more.

No guards,no fire engine nothing..

I feel sorry for the decent hard working people of limerick city to be surrounded by this element of scum in our socity.

'Just some kids expressing themselves' ...'lack of funding for facilities for children'...'let's give them the vote at 16'... 'Too young to prosecute,' etc.
And the owner needed that car for work this morning.
It's not just Limerick either.
Hoodies rule the streets from Friday evening to Monday morning in my village.

wouldn't you just love! it if he crashed into a few of the morons on the footpath.god i would ,that's for sure.

never heard of a Toyota Levin before!

Hopefully they'll rob some a car belonging to one of the local RIRA/INLA/etc lads.

Always been of the opinion that calling it joyriding is a mistake , it seems to try and lessen it . I believe in America it is called grand theft auto which describes it better and might make people believe it should be punished the same instead of just been frowned upon .

I sure hope that the owner of the car doesn't see that video. I'd be gutted to watch those */?><*%$£'s do that to my car.

I've said it before, we need mass sterolization of these leaches of society so that they cannot bread like rabbits. They will amount to nothing in life except be a constant drain on public money that should be spent elsewhere where it is needed. All I listen to from the do gooders is that they have disadvantaged backgrounds, etc, etc while they continue to do what they like and get their entitlements.

Report their channel to Youtube for promoting illegal activity. It might get their "fun" removed from the net.

I was only reading a Facebook plea from the poor kid last night (he's friends with my first cousins kids) looking for his car. These kids work so hard to keep a car and insure it, only to have scum like this act the cnut! I feel mad watching it, having broke my arse at 17 to afford, insure and run my beloved Honda civic (yes, I was 'one' of those). I can't imagine how this poor kid must feel.

I'm glad I've no kids. The future of this city, country and generation scares me.

These guys want to appear on websites and youtube, they should not be given publicity or notice. Just report them to the authorities.

Thes little scumbags have no respect for God, Gardai nor themselves.

Limerick has been destroyed by successive generations of scumbags who have helped ruin the reputation of the place through the Media.

Millions spent on Government training programmes to help introduce them into a normal society has been wasted.

It is a shame that hardworking people cannot go about their daily lives without fear of these pests in society.

When they get a bit older they simply become a burden on the taxpayer as they qualify for all sorts of freebies .

It is apalling to think that a City which is so welcoming to outsiders through Arts, Sports and Theatre, can be dragged down by scumbags.

There is potential solution, why not invest in some plane tickets and send them to Australia and Canada. See it as a form of modern day deportation? If they don't leave they won't get any handouts!!!!
Food for thought?;)

miller50841

From all the **** I see the law is there to protect only one type of society and I will spell it out in case people think I am refering to the law abiding citizens.
The dirty rotten scum(law breakers) are the ones that have the full protection and us ordinary hard working people have nothing to protect us.

I understand your sense of anguish and despair. It is of absolutely no consollation that I say Limerick is experiencing the same problems from scumbags as are Dublin , Cork, Galway, the UK and further afield.
However it is heartbreaking for a kid who has been brought up to do things right, work hard, save for his car , insurance, tax etc. , yet today he probably had to walk to work because some scumbaggs,who may have been high on drugs, stole his car and burned it out.
Where is this going to end? The fabric of society is simply breaking down more quickly than I could ever have expected.
Zero tolerance is probably the answer, however I will probably come under fire from the dogooders and the human rights of the scumbags. What about the human rights of the young man whose car was stolen?
It is truly frightening .

Delthedriver, keep ur scumbags there ta , we dont want 'em in Aus ( would imagine Canadians feel likewise) Send 'em to Dublin , London, Paris, New York , Cork, or Kerry , if ya must !
( from Limerick originally so I'm familar with this breed of low-life . Don't miss 'em either )

Split

Slap on the wrist due to their dysfunctional , addictive , lone parent who died , 12 siblings mental health background .
ADHD , addiction , dyslexia , early school leaver, bullying , neglect , family systems is not and will never be an excuse for a little sh*t to steal , harrass and endanger other peoples lives .How many have the same background and turn out to be decent law abiding citizens - its up to the DPP and the court system to come down hard on these thugs .

Taxi driver 9 days ago hijacked for a joy ride never to be the same again after the ordeal he endured . Soccer pitch in Southill destroyed Saturday night by a joy rider who in turn drove to the golf club behind and burnt some poor unsuspecting persons car out . Another car stolen up the country joy rided to Limerick and thrashed . So sick of the attitude of the poor criminals!

crazygeryy

look im not condoning it by any means but i worked in southill for a long time and without fail every Monday morning there would be a burned out car/van/motorbike up there,so it is nothing new.
so the fabric of society breaking down?nah it's not that bad.i wouldn't go that far.

foggy_lad

Nevermind deporting or jailing the fookers. Stop their social welfare payments! No dole. No disability (probably fraudulant claim). No childrens allowance or any other state benefit for these reprobates or their families until they have proven themselves to be worthy of the benefits of our social society.

If you cost the state money through anti social or any illegal activity you should not be allowed benefit from the state.

Dreadful carry on - but what were the residents doing? The Garda station is only minutes away.

Well now Del , thats actually not too bad an idea and could possibly be arranged . Have previous with these types , mates first car stolen and burnt , went to Henry st. with him and illustrious Gardai would not proceed any further , ' ur on your own there lad's ' or something to that effect was the reply we got ! Be happy to oblige , for revenge purposes !
( as well as Salt water crocs there's a fairly efficent Police force here whom I somehow doubt would tolerate this sort of bull**** , double whammy for the little lost darling's lol ! )

And who do you think the insurance companies will recoup the loss of them having to pay out on claims? You and me through higher premiums the following year.

It's bad enough that our taxes have to pay for these waster's free handouts without having to pay for their juvenile kicks too.

I feel sickened every time I read about lads like this I really feel that these scum should be made work for any money they get from the state it shuld be a last resort NOT a right! I had the misfortune to be on the dole for a whole month some time back before the last boom and in signing on I saw this piece of filth banging on the CWO's window going on about his rights and how he wanted his money and all the while his mate was grinning away like a Cheshire Cat and smiling at me. I really wished I had a gun that particular day...........

He will only get the book value of the car which means he will lose out on anything he has spent on it like wheels, spoilers, car kit etc. He would also have to cover the policy excess so he will be out of pocket for at least a few hundred euros as well as losing any no claims bonus he had.

I hope your car or home gets broken into one day, its not because I wish harm on you- I genuinely don't, but maybe you'd finally realise that being insured is of no comfort.

Some scumbags attempted to steal my car in Galway two years ago, they were unsuccessful as my neighbours caught them in the act and they ran away like the rats they are. They damaged the door to gain entry and they broke the steering column in their attempt to break the steering lock. They didn't get my car in the end, I was never comfortable in that car again, just knowing that those scumbags were sat inside my car made me feel very voilated.

This young man's car was actually stolen and destroyed, so he must feel a million times worse than I did when mine was broken into.

Do you not understand that, or does it have to happen to you before you get it?? Insurance compensation means nothing to someone who has to spend the rest of their life wondering will their next car be stolen too, or will their house be broken into again and so on.

^ that, both my neighbours car and housemates one were vandalised within a few nights of each other, the neighbour drives a passat and they nicked his wheels, obviously got a look at my housemates car and decided to come back, broken window looking for the locking nut for the wheel, so word of advice keep the locking nut out of the car unless you're going on trips and would need it

Newbie75

Really send em abroad??give em a free one way ticket to sun and sea,why not give the honest hard workin people a ticket overseas...do u not think we get enough bad publicity because of these people and u think we should send em on a holiday,im actually wonderin are you serious or just havin a laugh,none of this has to do with respect for god or the guards these people dont give a f*** bout anyone they wud love a ticket out of here and u want to completely disgrace the irish by sendin em abroad to do what they do cos they wont change just because their in a different country they will keep doin it,im shocked by ur opinion..

You need your lock nut for any trip. If you get a puncture two miles from home then what are you going to do? Makes zero sense.


Also they will break the window regardless of whether or not you have the nut in the car or not. The trick is to have the nut hidden properly in the car and not in the glove box or somewhere very obvious.

They don't even need the lock nut these days, you can buy tools cheaply enough these days to forcibly remove them.

No problem with it being removed from Youtube as such.
But what else is being done? Is anyone investigating? Will people be brought to justice? Anyone fined or sent to jail?
Sadly I'd say no, because a lot of the time it seems that the Gardai are too under-resourced to tackle these guys and it seems they don't fancy a bloody nose.
It's worrying to think that we live in a country where the state doesn't have the power to take on the criminal underworld. And if said underworld fancies it, they could even take on the state.
And maybe I'm used to Germany, if there's a disturbance of the peace, a large crowd of police will arrive within a very short time, big guys, minimum 6 foot tall, dressed in black, riot gear, batons, pepper spray, tazers dogs, water canons (the water has a good dose of pepper spray in it) and of course some real firepower too.
There the police will not make sure that they arrive long after the trouble has gone becaused they're scared of doing their job. Of course having the manpower, training and gear to do the job in the first place helps. I would not want to be one of three gards in a crappy ford mondeo armed with nothing more than bad breath, having to take on a whole housing estate of violent delinquints.

Have to agree about the German police. I lived about 40 km south of Stuttgart for a number of years, but worked and socialised in Stuttgart. One thing that always stood out was the policing and how quickly they could respond to anything.

One thing that has stuck in my memory was an incident that happened after I had been there for about two months. I was sitting down having a drink near one of the entrances to the Schlossplatz when two guys started acting up about 100 yards away. They were drunk and out for a fight. A woman near me got onto her phone and rang the police. I gave a wry smile as I was expecting a response time similar to what I was used to back in Liverpool.

In what felt like two or three minutes there were policemen entering the square from a number of entrances along with a few police vehicles. One of the two trouble makers spotted them coming and dropped to his kness straight away. His mate decided to start shouting abuse at the police and gesturing like he had a weapon. In a flash the police drew their sidearms and the guy pretty much lacked himself. The police converged on him and he and his buddy were taken without ceremony to the awaiting green and white police van.


As the years went by I got to see the green and white brigade ( of course nowadays those colours don't exist) going about their business in a manner that always impressed me.

Agree as well with your description of how the police look. Generally tall and fit looking whilst carrying enough visible tools/weapons to let you know they mean business.

You won't see too many pot bellied German police or small scrawny looking ones that's for sure.


Of course the funding and training they receive is a massive factor in that, and one would imagine if the Irish police received similar funding and training along with having to meet similar set standards of fitness etc., that the Irish force could achieve similar levels. Certain legislation would need to be changed in this country also I imagine to set up a Germanic style police force here, although one could argue that the same thing or proper use of current legislation is already badly needed to allow our current police force to be able to do their job properly as I suspect many good Gardai see great work go up in smoke thanks to our seemingly lenient legal system.

The German state police are not perfect by any means, far from it, but they do inspire a certain confidence so that one is fairly sure that if something kicks off or you are in danger that once they are called some very effective help is on the way quickly.


Another thing that is done well over there is the manner in which the police force for each state manages to, for the most part, maintain similar standards and procedures, whereas over here you can go to one city and see lots of street patrols etc daily and go to another and hardly see any on a regular basis.


As I said already, they are not a perfect force, but they would not be a bad one to copy aspects of.

I'd say the best country to get rd of someone you don't like is Ireland.
If you are caught at all, you will then have to be convicted and it does happen a lot that you get off scott free even though you shot someone in the head in a crowded pub in front of hundreds of witnesses. You then get to walk out of court and give the entire country the finger through the assembled press.
Even if you are convicted, with the right solicitor (paid for by the state, of course) you might get 10 years, 5 if you're lucky or even a suspended sentence.
So everytime I think "I could KILL that guy!", a little voice in my head says "and why not? With the soft system here, you might not even do any time"
