I hate all the racism that follows these stories. But what you've written above is rubbish.

Balbriggan is a kip. There is a disproportionate amount of social housing and nothing to do in the area beyond frequent scummy bars and fast food outlets. This brings unemployed people with nothing to do. But all this "it was a lovely town before the immigrants came" is rubbish too.

It was a kip before too.

Marketing it as a vibrant anything is laughable.

It never had a lot going on for it aesthetically but it was a safe, friendly town and a great place to bring up kids. A far cry from that now.

You just don't get it do you??? You can't deny that some of the reaction to events and the generalising about those who have a similar ethnicity or national origin is pure xenophonia.

You've literally created a new strawman argument, accused me of taking that position - that the events in Portmarnock were about xenophobia - in order to accuse me of strawmanning... now THAT's ironic.

Can't waste any more time on this nonsense, hope you have a great day and hope you find peace in your life.

Dammitt, I could have answered that one.

Strangely enough I was out that way doing a bit of work and I seen this gang of youths,

Id normally think ah ye load of boll*x totally over the top by the media but I seen this with my own eyes ,
100 is probably over the top but id say there was probably about 70 of them , it was very odd to see that many black teenagers together in the one place in Ireland,

You have to remember 70 is still a huge amount of people together causing trouble , quite scary actually , Worse part was it did seem to be organised and they knew well there is no Garda station in the area, Plus Portmarnock is no exactly the kind of area you would get a vigilante group is it,

Quite a strange event , I heard 2 or 3 years ago there was similar trouble in the summer with the same number of black teens on the beach there,

It's all a bit bizarre and something id never seen before , id never even seen that number teens in group causing trouble,

Exactly, and they are well aware of that. Tyrellstown is gone quiet since the ring leader was burned out of his home.

When the gardai fail you what are you to do? sit back and say ,oh well?

Thats what pussies do. Fair play to whoever took action in Tyrrelstown, some Irish people still have a bit of bollox.

The little problem with arson of family homes is that the people least able to escape a burning house, infants, the infirm and the elderly, are the ones least likely to have mugged anyone while the young man who did has the best chance of getting out unscathed.

Vigilantism is no substitute for a functioning system of law and order. Sadly as the Irish State increasingly declines to provide law and order more and more people will turn to vigilantism.

And suppose that fire had spread and killed someone innocent?

Quite a bunch of psychos.

Good luck.

Iv no idea what went on in Tyrellstown but the above doesn't surprise me ,

These kids are 100% from Balbriggen and have been causing trouble for a while on the Dart line / train line , There crafty enough that they stay away form so called rougher area's , targeting Howth, Sutton , Malahide, Portmarnock ,

The Garda really need to crack down hard on them

Its nothing to do with Race either if this was White kids they should get the say treatment, It just happens that Balbriggan has a huge amount of African nationals , Teenagers in large groups no matter what race cause trouble in this case they just happen to be black ,

Guaranteed this is what's gonna start happening next. It's inevitable.

I don't get why people say race doesn't matter and it should not be mentioned? It does! This is an imported problem, our politicians decided to change our country forever with mass immigration, they are happy to take the credit for the positive effects immigration has brought to Ireland so they need to take responsibility for the negative effects as well.

If there is a disproportionately high rate of this kind of thing happening among the African community, then call it out, at least that way we are better able to work with those communities and tackle it better. It may be an uncomfortable talk, you may have African friends who are sound and you do not want to scrutinise Africans in general as you may feel you are attacking innocent individuals that may suffer from these yobs behavior but what is the alternative? More violence that's what.

And in the off chance any politicians are reading this. The idea of immigration is a beautiful one, everyone getting along and ideas being shared etc, but life is not a disney movie, it doesn't always work out like that, people are not stupid so do not treat us as such and acknowledge that this kind of thing is going on, people are aware and we want to know what you are going to do about it, if you don't and start calling people racist for calling a spade a spade it won't be long before we have our own even more hard lined version of Trump here. People just want sensible policies.

The Gardai walking around town look like glorified road sweepers with that pathetic illuminous gear they have them wearing. A lot are over weight, others are small and look like they are fresh out of school.

Won't solve the issues entirely but there is something to be said for this. I still remember bumping into my first cop in Italy, scared the bejesus outta me.

Remember the bunch of chavs (Irish white lads so it's ok to condemn the behaviour) that destroyed the LIDL in the snow ?
Anyway everyone was calling them scumbags (correct) but then Louise O Neill started moaning about calling them scumbags was wrong - cos one video emerged of a black lad that was part of some looting (not the same as the destroyed store afaik) showing off some things he took.
So she was excusing his behaviour based on the colour of his skin - this is the bigotry of low expectation and this thread is rife with it.

My OH Lived in Balbriggan maybe 10 years ago.

I would visit the odd time, and the thing that struck me was the massive housing developments and the large number of non-nationals in them.

I remember saying to her one time "these places will be ghettos in the not too distant future".

Some will say that's me being a racist, but it sounds like its coming to pass.

Are you for real ? white gangs of teenagers have been causing problems in Ireland since time began, Robbing cars, selling drugs , robbing houses, muggings,

This just happened to be a case where the teenagers where black , Teenagers being Ares holes isn't a new thing at all, only new thing about this was so many but it seems the number was a once off,

I grew up seeing gangs of teenagers flashing stolen cars around the estate with maybe 30/ 40 egging them on it happens no matter what the colour,

Because it doesn't, they're not behaving like this simply because they are black.
I suspect that if you had a bunch of white kids, growing up in similar circumstances, similar prospects, parenting etc. etc. etc. they would behave in much the same way (see plenty of them around the IFSC for example).

So in that respect it doesn't matter what colour they are.

However I think you're absolutely correct in saying it should be more possible to point out that there is a problem (if there is) with a particular community regardless of what colour or ethnicity that community is and that doesn't seem to be possible a lot of the time. Instead what we tend to get are the loudest voices from either side looking to apportion blame and the sensible soft voices in the middle go completely unheard.

So yeah it's not an easy subject to approach in any kind of meaningful way I guess, let's hope that changes soon.

We are experiencing a new level, there are levels, not everything is the same, there just may be some logic in the fact that people growing up in more violent societies than here may bring that violence with them, I am not talking about individually but I mean as a community, you know the same way Jewish people on average have higher iqs, but we can mention that as it's a positive difference. My point is not all cultures are the same, we are able to celebrate positive differences so let's not live in a fantasy world and pretend negative ones do not exist, it will cause more damage than it creates.

I think you'd be in pretty thin ice suggesting that some races are genetically predisposed to be more violent that others*. Culturally perhaps, although most of these will have grown up here.

If anything I'd put it down to just more and more extreme behaviours we're seeing in society as a whole, porn, politics, social media, everything seems to be heading towards extremes.

*I lived with a black guy for years and he'd be close to the top of the least violent and most chilled out person I've ever met, but....he was from the Caribbean

No we aren't. That's a ridiculous claim. This stuff has been going on in places like Darndale, Jobstown, Cherry Orchard, Ronanstown, Kilmahudrick etc for along time. They've literally tried to kill Gardaí in these places. Running them over, petrol bombs, rammings.

Please explain the new levels of violence happening in London, Detroit, Malmo etc who have had their demographics drastically changed in a relatively short time.

yourdeadwright

Captian Obvious is correct,
Irish white teens have been up to much much worse for years , These teens need to be dealt with by the Garda but lets not go over board here, there still just teens causing trouble its nothing new bar the colour of there skin,

London and England in general has always had 2worse crime then Ireland
,
Have you ever been to Detroit ?
I have twice the place is like something from the walking dead, its the first worlds (hate that expression) first ghost city , Sky rises empty ,the City is almost deserted , every house on some streets burnt out , its a nightmare, Due to year and year of huge problems of all sorts,. It's no where near comparable to Dublin or Ireland ,

The Gardai can't do sweet fook all. Their hands are tied behind their backs.
What's needed here is some good old fashioned vigilante justice.
These fools are outing themselves all over social media, making them easy targets.
Very hard to post pics and videos online with broken fingers.

If this is true and they are outing themselves surely the Garda can charge them with whatever crime there outing themselves over ?

The issue with being a vigilante is you end up getting charged yourself ,

Only if you get caught, and who's gonna do that? The Gardai from inside their nice, warm stations? I don't think so.

Besides, they'd be glad of the help, not that they'd ever admit it publicly. Privately though, they'd be delighted.
