Incident at Lost Lane on Saturday

Jamie2k9 · 07-07-2019 11:26pm #1

It appears the so called "new Irish" are causing trouble again but nobody is prepared to call it out but those are quiet happy to pose for a photo when the time presents itself. Dublin is becoming more like London everyday.

Dublin gig headlined by Naira Marley shut down after 'gang of 30 young men' flee from scene as man arrested and weapons seized

A Dublin gig headlined by African artist Naira Marley was shut down by gardai last night after a gang of youths were spotted fleeing the scene.

The incident unfolded at Lost Lane just off Grafton Street before the headline artist took to the stage to perform.

A video seen by Dublin Live shows up to 30 young men running out of the premises in the early hours of Sunday morning, with revellers of the adjoining pub looking on in confusion.

Longitude festival is probably best to be avoided, seems to be turning into a scrote fest.

Of course not, wouldn't want to offend, branded a racist etc

Gardai are party poopers.

An assortment of weapons including hatchets, knives and petrol bombs were found when the gang dispersed.

Could have been lit

I spent the weekend bringing people to and from Marlay Park and while there was a lot of underage drinking, the vast, vast majority seemed very well behaved, enjoying themselves and being extremely messy, but not in any way violent or malevolent.

knives, hatchets, petrol bombs

What's happening to this city, can the guards not put a stop to this?
It's only a matter of time before someone gets killed.

Jamie2k9 · 07-07-2019 11:53pm

Makes you wonder had the US travel advise not blown up in the media on Friday would the guards have been aware or alert to this.

And after the US Embassy issued a warning of potential violence in marlay park at longtitude. They should have said after longtitude at Marley... :pac:

Of course no mention of the nationality of the perpetrator as usual from RTE and the rest of the msm. Glad to be out of the country at the moment.

Where is Lost Lane, a long forgotten side street or something?

Gimme A Pound · 08-07-2019 12:40am

I'm lost. What's the connection with Longitude? Did something happen there? What were the US Embassy concerned about?

The nationality was probably white Irish like with most problems in Ireland.

Supposed to have gone to Lost Lane after Longitude according to the article. US Embassy warned about potential trouble regarding the festival

And from the Irish Times article

gardaí believe a number of people who were at Longitude festival in Marlay Park, Rathfarham had gone to Lost Lane to continue socialising. Gardaí further suspect the men who tried to rush the door of the venue had also been at the festival.

There is footage of Grafton Street last night

Where's the "hatchets, knives and petrol bombs"?

Gimme A Pound · 08-07-2019 1:10am

I had read the RTE item all right. I'm just wondering what specifically the US Embassy was concerned about though. It's unusual for an embassy to make such a statement (unless something really really serious is about to go down). The Twitter video seems to be showing people having a good time.

Not disputing if there was trouble - but it's all kinda vague.

It was a Nigerian rapper playing there. Don't know many Irish who'd go to see a Nigerian rapper.

Gimme A Pound · 08-07-2019 1:19am

The Irish Times article says up to 20 youths, Dublin Live says up to 30 youths. Someone quoted by Dublin Live said they were at the gig and didn't see this trouble.

Obviously there was trouble - the gardai weren't there for the good of their health. But there's a lack of information - not enough to come to a solid conclusion, from what I can see.

You clearly don’t get out much so.

RobbingBandit · 08-07-2019 8:08am

How do you stop a problem like non integration?

All hands up to them though the petrol bombs add a real Irish twist to this debacle
