    Yeah, and if I had two flutes I'd never leave the house.

    A call was made, he was sent. Him being in his own or not is irrelevant. The only people responsible for this are the criminals involved

    Yeah fair play that they didn't shy away after what happened yesterday.

    That said it might not be travellers involved this time ;)

    Edit: Never mind this was a follow up to the raid that involved travellers.

    I don't know what happened but people are believing what the guards and what papers are saying, they don't always tell the truth.

    What have the guards said?

    I haven’t seen any statement.

    It is just that there is increased Garda resources and new Garda management deployed in the Longford area.it has been well known for quite some time now that Longford is infested with serious drug dealing families and serious crime lords. They have initiated serious campaigns of intimidation and house burnings against those who challenged them.This unfortunately extended to members of Garda Siochana and their families.With the noted exception of two honourable politicians all other TDs and county councillors were also afraid.This is somewhat similar to the Limerick crime situation and the Veronica Guerin murder times of some years ago.This situation has got out of hand due to under resourced policing.

    I wasn't being intentionally condescending but if you're had experience with both its been poorly served (and that's me being nice to you, hows that?).

    You need more training.

    If they released an "early" cut, it could be very useful in weeks to come!

    tbh i couldn't give a rat's arse if they had a poodle, an alsatian or a chimpanzee.
    what can clearly be seen is these parasites were interfering with a member of AGS in the course of his duties,

    the Garda felt threatened and correctly discharged his firearm to protect himself. the fact that this scumbag was hit in the foot is a bonus imo.

    In Afghanistan, insurgents often plant roadside bombs in the corpses of dead dogs and other animals so when it explodes, it embeds the rotting flesh in the wounds of the victims, causing survivors to die painful deaths later from infections and blood poisoning. Wonder if there’s any chance of the same happening from a bullet that passed through a dog?

    Looks like this is a situation where the institutions of the State are being threatened. These types are crossing the line here.

    Giving them ethnic status was a serious own goal for the powers that be.

    The past behaviour of the Travellers , the resulting 'Peter Casey Effect' & now this sorta thing....

    All it takes is one more serious incident & it will happen soon. These types don't know when to stop at this stage & I can't wait to see the the backlash happen.

    Theres only 3 people who post here that I'd give any credence to regarding firearms, their use and effectivness (outside of the shooting forum) Makikomi, BattleCorp and ManicMoran.

    I shoot in a recreational manner and have a simplistic knowledge.

    I do disagree with Makikomi when he says, maybe facetiously, that he wants a larger calibre than a 9mm for a dog.

    A scatter load of police agencies worldwide, and the US military (SIG in place of Beretta recently), use the 9mm round. Would hardly do if not effective against humans which would be also effective against dogs. Same re 9mm submachine guns used by counter terrorist/swat units. The 9mm is not a round to be shrugged off.

    More people are killed every year by the wee .22 than any larger calibres (civilian). They are not "man stopping" rounds but you will die of blood loss. Also a .22 in the right place will kill you. They have no penetration so will just bounce around inside you causing severe damage.

    You misunderstood Makikomi's point.

    Dependant on the size of the dog and placement of the round, it is possible that the dog was able to leave the immediate scene and die offsite.

    His point was, a headshot with a 9mm or use of a larger calibre weapon would drop the dog instantly.
