    Where does it say they aren't Irish?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 16,768 ✭✭✭✭tomwaterford


    Was under the impression virtually all taxis had mini cameras etc in them,recording everything???


    Shouldn't take long to identify who ever is behind this

    Where does it say "non-nationals"?

    It’s been reported today that they are black teenagers.

    Straight to race then will complain about being called a racist.

    It's odd that this is considered newsworthy. Taxi drivers are getting robbed all the time. How many incidents are we talking about if it hits national news and taxi drivers are pulling out of an area? Hard to tell if the issue is being inflated or the reporting is just poorly describing the issue.

    Do you have a link to the article stating their nationality?

    Taxi drivers are robbed all the time by the same organised gang in the same area??

    Jesus Christ, I knew AH wasn’t exactly PC, but I never expected to see blatant racism.

    There's only a description given of one incident and suspects from that incident. There's nothing in the linked article to support that claim or the headline.

    It's a safe haven for all kinds of pondlife these days. The way of the future I guess.

    So for the fifth time, is there a link to this?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,189 ✭✭✭✭Sleeper12


    I've a black brother & sister both in their 50s and both born and bred Irish. Ever hear of Phyl lynott? Paul MaGrah?

    You need to take a long look at yourself if you see black and asume they are none nationals.

    Edit : maybe a thread title change is in order

    They said reportedly black alright.

    Any links on the non-national thing or is that just the assumption?

    If you actually read the article in the OP, it says it:

    "The two suspects in the latest attack in Clonee are described as being black teenagers. Anyone with any information is being urged to contact Blanchardstown garda station"

    Edit:I just realised what you are looking for. You're right that it does not make any mention of non nationals.

    Nah, let their racism stay on display.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,757 ✭✭✭Phil.x


    It's well know that here in d15 there is a antisocial black family that have being moved from tyrrelstown to clonee by fingal county council.

    I never mentioned anything about non-nationals just what I read in the media.

    People have been doing ditches on Taxis for as long as there have been taxi's.
    But there is a gang problem in that part of Dublin at the moment but have heard nothing of them ripping off taxi drivers.

    Should have just went with bunch of black scumbags straight from the start just so there was no confusion, same with the way we call the lads in the car crash on the N7 scumbags.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 854 ✭✭✭beveragelady


    A quick glance over the OP's posting history reveals a distinct trend...
    Doesn't have much time for 'non-nationals,' doesn't see why some might have a problem with the term 'non-national,' doesn't like marriage equality, thinks we're all too soft on refugees in general and Islam in particular.
    My suspicion is that the OP is suffering from CD (Chronological Displacement), a debilitating condition whereby those afflicted are forced to live in a century that is incompatible with their bigoted and narrow-minded worldview. The OP has nineteenth century ideals but must bravely soldier on in twenty-first century Ireland.

    You fail to mention which OP so please do tell who you are referring to.

    No such thing as a " non National"- everyone has a nationality.

    I wonder is it because they're black or from Dublin 15 that makes them scumbags /s





    /s = sarcasm and satire

    Oh joy, expect a thread every time a taxi gets robbed.

    So edgy OP. That far-right, ethnonationalist, ultra-catholic political party will sweep to power any day now. Any day.

    Keep up the good work.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 32,956 ✭✭✭✭Omackeral

    Nope. They seem to have to be non of nationals to warrant a thread.

    Ongar/Hansfield area has always been a bit rough, some really decent families living there, but it’s known to be a bit of a trouble spot.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,033 ✭✭✭✭Richard Hillman


    There is a massive gang problem emerging in West Dublin (Yes, I know that could be deemed old news). I used to see massive gangs when I travelled out there regularly 4-5 years ago.

    It started off with just general obnoxious behavior. Massive gangs of about 20-30 of them bunking busses at a time and the driver not bothering with the hassle. Then you'd hear of the same gangs getting involved in mass brawls, low level thefts etc. It seems to be elevating into muggings, drug dealing etc as they grow into their late teens-early 20s. These are the same gangs that were regularly causing trouble around Jervis Street shopping centre a few years ago.

    We shouldn't underestimate Rap Culture, "Thug Life" and so on. British gang culture in particular is starting to emerge in West Dublin and out towards Tallaght. A lot of these guys have close relatives living in these London Ghettos.

    I use to think this was all BS and made up. But after seeing these gangs (of wannabe london ghetto) fighting in the city centre this year I 100% agree with your post.

    People will laugh at you and call you whatever but there's a group of little sh*ts up there that go around with baseball bats and the likes and it's intimidating to the locals. This one was captioned ''Straight Outta Tyrellstown'' which is certainly an homage to rap culture.

    Sounds to me like the Op is living in the real world and has a grasp of reality. It would help if others got away from their laptops and TV and their parents house once in a while, travel to different places outside Europe and within and it might open their closed minds to the reality of the world.
