Video of a fool in Limerick

Stab*City

Nasty video doing the rounds of a guy in Parnell Street slagging off people who are not white. Its fairly alarming, I meet this kind of attitude all the time around Limerick. And its not just the dole merchants like the knack in this video either. Obviously cant post the video sorry.

Post the video or else you're making it up.

I'm Polish and I encounter racism from time to time and I'm fairly white. I do not think it's Limerick per se, just frustrated people who have nothing else to do. Go to Dublin same ****, even more so with heroin addicts being out of their mind.

Just Limerick things I suppose.

Haven't seen it myself but I can just imagine the type of character involved - a good for nothing dole parasite with a big mouth and too much time on their hands, a common sight on Parnell Street.

Of course there is discrimination everywhere i agree, but not everyone boasts about it and openly calls people names while recording it.

I think the concrete "plaza" in front of the station detracts from the appearance of the overall area. It seems disproportionately large and featureless as well as empty given that there are few pedestrians on that side of the street at any time of day.

That's horrific. Surely they can be tracked down especially when one of them clearly calls out the other lad's name as John Hartnett.

If the thread title is implying Limerick is a racist city then I'd challenge that view point - if the OP is saying we have racists in Limerick then I'd have to agree but then I'd imagine most cities would have some amount of racists living there.

It's standard practice on this forum to put the city down. Something bad happens and people are on claiming the whole city is a dump and a disgrace. It gets pointed out that it's not unique to Limerick and that Limerick is no worse than the rest of the country and you get accused of being naive or turning a blind eye. Rinse and repeat.

Having listened to the video, it's obvious the person who recorded it isn't on the upper end of the IQ spectrum.

I think it's an over reaction to a pathetic piece of mischief. A bit like being outraged at something the Village Idiot said or did.

If a third level student or similarly educated person made that video, then there would be good grounds for outrage and offence.

Agreed, it isn't, but I wouldn't be getting too outraged when someone with what looks like a low IQ behaves like this. Sometimes you have to take stupidity into account. Empty vessels make the most noise, so the saying goes.

The reason i started this thread is because i meet this level of racism weekly in Limerick. Also alot of casual racism. And yes some of it is down to stupidity but some of it is also down to the way people here were brought up. Im a white male with black relatives. You wouldn't believe the amount of people who speak with racist tones about Africans, Pakistani, Inidan and just about any person who is not white to me not knowing that i have black relatives. I get it at work, in sport, in town the list goes on.. So just so you people dismissing this know its not just some dope up in Parnell st. And the more you people normalise this behaviour the longer it will go on.

Mc Love

Who's normalising it? It was some dope up in Parnell St, but dope is a bit generous. It's not normal and I do hope he is called out on it.

The creator of this video may very well be the type of individual you describe but adopting a fake accent to attempt a Rubberbandits type of spoof. This is not to say that particular duo have ever expressed such racist opinions in a similarly crass fashion. Quite the contrary but there are many who believe they actually hail from and reside in Moyross!!

See the problem is 10 years ago these clowns would be sitting on a bar stool in some **** hole spouting that crap and no one would be any the wiser or listening to them

Now every clown has a mobile phone and access to the internet and thinks they have a platform or that their opinion matters.

The continual out pourings of the professionally outraged is nearly as bad mind you.

Are you trying to say the video isn't real? What are you getting at. Yes we know that proof of the video was not supplied. This was due to the nature of the language in the video. It was purposely left out as to not cause offence. Anyone with any kind of internet knowledge would very quickly and easily be about to find it. We are very sorry you couldn't.

I'm not professionally outraged. I just don't like people calling my family NI**ERS. What's also fairly annoying is the continual outpouring of
the keyboard warriors who think they are right about everything and that their opinion matters.

Then u have the crowd who you cant say anything to Or if u have a disagreement with them or they dont agree with what your are saying they call you a racist. They use the race card then Too many people using that card, you dont know who is genuine then & who isnt.

Yes i accept there are people like that. But this video is way beyond that. These are people walking down the street openly engaged in hate speech towards people of colour i just don't think thats good in the land of a thousand welcomes. If it was a black man screaming these types of things about us Limerick people there would be outrage.

Limerick ciddy kiiidd

Back in the 80's and 90's Limerick citty lads used to call us Shannon lads IRA and nordie Bstrds...

It was a rough place, playing pool in the Savoy and some scobes passing political and sectarian abuse.

It's not the city just some of the non educated delinquency which you'll get in every city town and country cross roads in the country.

Limerick has a huge diversity of cultures and from observation everyone gets on with it, there's no tension.

Actually there's one thing about Limerick back then the neds used to give students a right hard time.

Whereas Cork Dublin and Galway were University Cities and you didn't have the scobes hassling students.

Half of the people I knew in UCC were norries anyhow and it was normal to have at least one sibling in College, whether you were from Knocknaheeny, Togher, Ballypheane or Blackpool...

Whereas in Limerick back then it wasn't cool to go to school....

Man due in court as part of investigation into video showing racial abuse in Limerick
Friday, March 08, 2019 - 10:48 AM
By David Raleigh

A man is due to appear in court this morning as part of a garda investigation into a video recording that appeared to show two men racially abusing members of the public.

The man, aged in his 40s, was arrested yesterday evening and detained for questioning at Roxboro Road garda station in Limerick city.
The man, who has an address in the city, is due to appear before Limerick District Court later this morning.

According to a garda source, the investigation is ongoing and investigating officers are anxious to speak to anyone with information about the video, which went viral last Wednesday.

It was taken down from the Facebook page where it is thought to have originally been posted, however, it is still believed to be available on social media.

Gardaí have this morning again urged any victims of racial abuse to make contact with them.

Reiterating an appeal for information, a garda spokesman said: “An Garda Síochána became aware of a video on March 6 which appeared to show two men walking on Parnell St, Co Limerick whilst racially abusing members of the public.

“If any member of the public has been a victim of this, or indeed any type of racial abuse, we would urge them to contact their local Garda Station.

“We would also appeal to anyone who has any information on the men who may have recorded the video, to contact Roxboro Road Garda Station on (061) 214 340,” they added.

Wasn't there a woman in Limerick on a train last year or the year before shouting racist remarks at somebody?
