Trump is unlikely to stab them or rob their house, burn out their car upon seeing them protest.
Protest is a legitimate democratic form of voicing an opinion. The Garda are in charge of addressing criminal behaviour.
Why members of the public should be confronting criminals I don't know.

Or we could get some kind of official tax payer funded crowd to police these areas?

And a seperate group who could judge the miscreants and if guilty jail them. We should definitely think about getting that working because it isn’t now.

I don't think Larry up the road with a hurley is the answer.

Way to completely miss the point Eric because you're looking for your own agenda as usual.

Pissartist is referring to the fact the driver is obviously from another country and therefore totally deserved a beating of course. :rolleyes::rolleyes:

Sure why wouldn't they go out and rob taxi men or delivery drivers.

There is no deterrent from the justice system

Poorer areas have more criminality. Nobody disputes this. This is common knowledge. Giving some poorer people accommodation they can afford isn't causing the criminality. My local Fine Gael TD grew up in social housing.
We've less social housing today than we did 20, 30, 40 years ago so your correlation is very flawed there Eric.

Is your solution we get rid of social housing and make thousands of families homeless or put them up in hotels? Don't use crime and this poor taxi driver as a stick to beat your big well worn drum.

I didn’t suggest Larry, did I Matt. I hoped to get the existing system working.

I wonder what can be done with the bewigged quarter wits. Any attempt at reform would probably be overruled by the Supreme Court.

I don't think it's fair to say anyone who's not a leftie is a scumbag.

Rachel Shabi(contributing writer for The Guardian) says social mobility policy has failed, now we need to talk about social justice instead in this heated episode of "The Pledge".

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xnkf-5IKHNI

She argues Labour's previous attempt at tackling it have been in vain, because we've been focusing on inequality instead of social justice. Apparently the system itself is creating the inequality, so all previous attempts to tackle it have been completely in vain.
We need to focus on social justice instead. Apparently.

Well , as we all know im hardly a bastian of welcoming islam , but I saw that some posts earlier and thought it was a bit of an off colour joke. Regardless of what way anyone wants to put it , if those lads set upon him just purely under that basis then it makes it way worse. Absolutely barbaric.

Little feckers. Hopefully they'll od soon

Half the taxi drivers in Dublin are FROM tallaght other half are foreign nationals or Irish citizens of foreign origin. But who knows maybe they will despite that.

I hope he'll be ok.

What about the new government policy of putting a family of welfare recipients in a new housing estate, alongside people with huge mortgages. Will this work? Will young Beyoncé end up studying law in Trinity?

Scumbags gotta scumbag.

It's their nature, a by-product of a mismanaged and misguided social/cultural safety net.

Best to nuke the island from orbit and start again because there's only one direction we're heading, so we might as well get there sooner.

Racism might have played a part. Or anti muslim sentiment.

Just greed and thuggery. Native taxi drivers are robbed too you know. Not everything is about racism. 12% and growing of the population are non native. Is every crime that they are a victim in going to be racism? What about if a non national carries out a crime. Will this be racism against the Irish people?


This is just scūmbags being scūmbags without fear. An attack on a contributing member of society. Dublin is a kip

What's welfare got to do with this thread :pac: I swear to god it's like some people are programmed to mention welfare when anything negative happens in Ireland.

These young scumbags have absolutely no fear of the Gardai or the justice system, I really dont see anything changing anytime soon. I expect Dublin to get worse for this type of behaviour as the years go by.

The majority of major cities on the planet have the same problem. You always get scumbags it's just the way it is.

The good thing about hate crime legislation is that it would in fact get these guys locked up more easily as it cuts the leg under some of the more liberal arguments judges might be susceptible to.

Any and all delusions of a civilized society in Dublin are long gone. We need armed gardai patrolling the streets ready to grab these creatures and teach them the only lessons they will ever learn. Right now Gardaí are hiding out in chippers while these scumbags rule the streets throughout the city.

Any delay or resistance means that the blood is on the hands of those who refuse change as well.

I live in Dublin and it's fine. Yeah you get the odd incident but overall it's a very safe city to live and work in.

I have the exact opposite experience. It's incredibly dangerous being anywhere near the city centre as its full of knackers and drug addicts stalking women and looking for fights. With no gardi in sight.

I'm sure in Sudan there are people who also somehow feel incredibly safe and peaceful but that is not the actual reality.

Probably has a 1/100 chance of getting a law degree , a 50/100 chance of having a child before 21 with an absent father , 75/100 chance of gaming the welfare system her whole life and 100/100 chance property values for those who worked so hard to get mortgages go down.
