    As my friend who's a retired prison officers said to me, the prisoners in the 80's and 90's were gentleman and having conversations with some they used to say,if you think we're bad wait until you see what's coming after us.

    The system is too soft on scumbags nowadays, back in the 80's and 90's vigilantes would sort this out, I know it's frowned upon by SJWs, lefties, shi tty parents and the ivory tower brigade.

    But as the op posted enough is enough....

    They won't be laughing when surrounded in the clink by hardened criminals. Law needs to come down like a ton of bricks on pond scum, no suspended sentences after repeat offences.

    Im a typical lefty sjw and yet i agree, for some reason progressive politics in this country cant embrace the fact that scumbags are making life difficult for ordinary people and need to be dealt with, its depressing, look at Brexit, trump etc, the left are so far up their own arsers

    Don't know what you want people to say op? Dublin scum push woman in canal outrage..
    This type of sh!t happens day in day out unfortunately. It is no longer shocking to the average cog.

    Dublin is in a longterm decline and its only when the paddy whackery tourism takes a hit that things might change...not holding my breath though.

    While this attack was racial by nature, this type of scum would use anything as an excuse to knock her into the water.

    Chinese? We don't like them! *Doink*
    Nerdy? We don't like them! *Doink*
    Female? We don't like them! *Doink*
    Black? We don't like them! *Doink*
    Red-headed? We don't like them *Doink*
    Normal average person who's an easy target? We don't like them either! *Doink*

    (I realise that it's more likely to happen to people who aren't indigenous.)

    Really crappy incident, total scumbags

    The thickos videoing his mates was stupid enough to post it with his own name as username....


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 876 ✭✭✭Lord Glentoran


    Little scrotes who bully and attack anyone different have a long tail of parents and grandparents before them who were just as ignorant and vicious as this lot. A good hard kick in the bollox is the least they’ve earned.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,970 ✭✭✭6541


    Them scrotes are dogs. Pushing a woman into water, brave lads.

    Well I 100% respect your honesty and sincerity for your description of what way you lean.

    Not many will open up and say they're a lefty SJW
    I'm more moderate myself and cannot stand bullies or liar's.

    It's time everyone got tired of the scumbags and bullies running amok in our beautiful country.

    But unfortunately they come from a long line of bad parenting and location or status doesn't discrimanate being a scumbag.

    A guy I know is going through the courts with a few jocks from a so called civilized family who nearly kicked him to death,it's on camera and they're still saying that it wasn't them FFS you couldn't make it up.

    As clear as day, you can see their faces and they were arrested at the scene

    Really because I've relations who were members of the gardai in the 80s and 90s who would disagree that they were gentlemen. From hanging around the nortside when younger and working pub doors in Dublin and Cork a lot of the so called vigilante groups were just a way to keep the patches to specific dealers.

    They were frowned upon by everyone in society . They more or less were thugs themselves and many of them weren’t the white knights they liked people to believe that they were . Some of them were drug dealing themselves . Sure the IRA lads were knee capping druggies and then took their place

    More support to the cops. Now a days they are too afraid to go into these areas not because for their own Safety but the fact that the system won’t back them. They would be crazy not to go on the beat without a camera on their lapels as any allegation of police brutality will be taken more seriously than it ought to

    You saw how some of the thugs on the water protest behaved . Couldn’t give a **** for the police authority , and they got more bold when they had an audience

    Let the guards go back to kicking the **** out of some of these scumbags like the good auld days (not referring to what went on in Donegal in the 1990s )

    I remember seeing a lads head bashed into the concrete. You'd hear about numerous stabbings every so often. You'd need step over plastic milkbottles filled with dried glue and the occasional passed out junkie. This would be around he time the Garda wouldn't enter certain neighbourhoods so residents would have to form vigilante groups.
    This was decades ago in Dublin.
    Scaremongering over a generation is a nonsense. One we see time again.

    Well I mean compared to what's out there now, they'ed do their time years ago and get on with it inside, and weren't as violent in the prison as they are now.

    I'll keep it simple, the vigilante groups were different from drug dealers in the 80's and 90's
    More of the nonchalant variety of vigelantes, in the background if you get my drift.

    It sounds like you couldn't give a f*ck about the incident other than trying to bring the nationality of the arseholes who did it and your getting a little het up about that back firing and being caught out on it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,870 ✭✭✭✭fritzelly


    I don't know what to be more outraged about
    That this happened or that nothing will ever happen to the scumbags who did it because of (insert multiple societal, family, psychological issues here)

    A bar of soap in a sock worked wonders.
    I remember a few lads in school who were robber's, breaking into sheds and house's getting the soap and sock treatment...

    It wasn't frowned upon, they just said it left no bruises and they grew out of being thieve's by the time they were at third level education...

    Probably CEOs now, They came from respectable background s they just got a kick out of breaking and entering place's.
    Rob a ghetto blaster fishing gear and video tapes etc

    Most of those that go inside now tend to do their time quietly. As for the nonchalant variety of vigilante again nope most were involved in the drugs trade just creaming a percentage.

    The violence around the drugs trade is increasing, but that's due to the profitability of it and the fact that it's not just a Dublin problem or limited to poorer areas like it was in the 80s.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,870 ✭✭✭✭fritzelly



    So many identified already - total scum and I don't think it's as such a racist incident as someone they saw as an easy target

    Larry Dunne was not a gentleman. He introduced heroin to the streets of Dublin, which has destroyed whole communities.

    He gave heroin to kids knowing they would become hooked on it and he could sell his product to them.

    That is where that quote came from. He is scum.

    These kids are also scum, probably offspring in fact of the problems that arose from the "gentleman" you mention. Living in Dublin City Centre, I agree a tough crackdown is needed. Too many scumbags about going unchecked.

    Ok how do you figure it is not racist?


    It literally shows the woman telling them they should not “racially discriminate”, clearly implying that something racist was said off-camera

    Long before heroin in the early seventies this behaviour was common enough. And was a thing as far back as the fifties, and further back again. As I said earlier these are the product of generations of pure nastiness.

    This is a real conundrum for the left.

    Who do they side with, the victim of a racist assault, or the poor "must vulnerable" members of society who committed this horrible act.

    Either way, their "solution" will be increased welfare payments.

    They were racially abusing the woman before throwing her in a canal. How is that not rascist?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,399 ✭✭✭✭ThunbergsAreGo


    I think they were as likely to attack anyone. I don't think they attacked her due to race i think they attacked her due to her looking vulnerable and being an easy target.

    If they called me four eyes, would it mean it was an attack on people with glasses?

    Anyways its beside the point, whether it was racially motivated or not really makes no difference, its a scumbag thing to do. Same reaction should occur if it was a 6ft white man.

    Whose video is it BTW?

    Edit : to be fair re read the article and there were indeed comments about her race, more than expected.

    :confused:


    I assume you are taking the pee.

    You don't need to be anything other than not one of them to be a target. Chinese women are obviously an easy target in minds of scum. There have also been attacks along this part of canal on cyclists, older people. dog walkers, young fellas on their own, etc, etc. Obviously the poor woman's being Chinese was identifier in this case.

    From my experience of these scum they have no interest in anything like football teams, bands, clothes (all dress the same mostly) as gangs might have done years ago. Clockwork Orange types whose chosen diversion is preying on the rest of us.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,371 ✭✭✭Phoebas


    Boards has become a strange place.

    A thread about an attack that clearly had a racist element to it and we have some posters bending over backwards to deny the racism and other posters trying to steer it into a thread about the left.

    What has this got to do with anything? There is barely even a far left in Ireland. There's barely a far right in Ireland also. Although we seem to be getting so influenced by American news we seem to think we have both.

    Feel terrible for that lady. Cowardly attack, race was clearly the start to the incident.

    Won't be dealt with im fairly sure and they will just escalate until some poor victim gets seriously injured or killed.

    The state is 100% to blame for not cracking down on youth and the personal attacks. There's been plenty in the last couple of years and this was one of the lighter ones.

    No injury? Jesus Christ! Is that the view you would take if it was your mother, sister or daughter? How did he know she wouldn't be injured when he did it? Canals are shallow, she could have struck her head. Violently pushing someone backwards can cause a neck injury.

    Do you count the mental trauma as injury, because I do!

    What is wrong with the people trying to minimise this crime? Yes, there is probably quite a low upper limit for the sentence that can be given, but that doesn't mean that it's any less shocking.

    And it was 100% racially motivated.
