scrotes taking over Dublin City

magic_murph

On various websites all I am seeing is scrotes / scumbags / little sh1t's taking over the city fighting and causing trouble.

Is it really as bad as the various videos portray?

Its just covid idiots.

Pretty bad alright.

But I wouldnt say 'taking over'. As you can see with all the previous threads on them taking over, they seem to have tukkin over quite a while ago.

On a serious note - there is definitely a bit of a 'donut' effect in Dublin now.

Drumcondra, Clontarf, Glasnevin, Stoneybatter, Sandymount, Ballsbridge, Ranelagh, Rathgar. All of these places - at the moment - are far more pleasant than the city centre.

There are a lot of people who want to believe Dublin is a tough and dangerous town. Its not.

Dublin isn't dangerous

I agree - I lived there for about 15 years gone now 4-5 but the videos doing the rounds that past couple of months show a different city than I remember.

Granted when I was there the hassle existed but generally north of the river now it seems to have filtered to all parts of the city.

Just an observation not a criticism

I dont think thats what is being said here.

Whats being said is that the city centre is full of scrotes acting the maggot. Groups of older teens wandering about, not doing anything major wrong, but just minor antisocial stuff, drinking, leaving rubbish as they go, being generally loud. Making their stupid tiktok videos.

Its not criminal. But I dont want to sit beside them in a park.

Dublin has always been a ****hole. The native true blue dubs are scrotes who give birth to more scrotes. Dubliners have more in common with the UK than the rest of Ireland.

This stuff always happened to some extent.

I spent 4 years travelling to college in the North inner City from the southside in the mid 90s, mostly on foot, and this kind of low level petty scrotery was a near daily occurance. Fights, muggings, mass shop lifting raids. The difference was nobody had a high definition video recorder in their back pocket.

However, even if we agree its no worse than it was then, that fact is in itself a damning indictment of years of failed social and policing policy by all the authorities concerned.

Dublin in my experience is at night, dangerous or has the potential to be...of course you have only to get unlucky but this newly found fetish of kids running around with knives and not a second thought about using them....it’s grim...

As of about four years ago I’d never go to the city just to socialize, only in to see a band we’d like and back out to the local...

Been assaulted once and with somebody that was...,both 100% unprovoked by deranged fûckwits..

Dublin always baffles outsiders from Rural Ireland ..

JOKE!

It doesn't much matter if it's true or not.
The perception is there, just like it was for "Stab City".

Sounds like pub talk

It's just that more things are being recorded now. There were always fights at the weekends on the streets, I would imagine it's the same all over Ireland on a lesser scale.
I swear it used to be way worse and dodgier when I first started going out in the late 90s, but maybe that's just because I was younger and more on edge about these things.

You aren't a Dubliner then.
That is like me saying I go to galway once a month i know it like the back of my hand.

I am a dubliner ...I still live here and i know it a lot better than you.

OBVIOUSLY its going to have higher crime rates than dundalk etc or leitrim ...because it has the biggest population.

But in terms of a capital city. Its in NO way dangerous.

Obviously ..i mean if you walk in clueless etc and have no idea of what the vibe is and HOW to behave keep your wits about you be SMART etc.

But saying it should be like rural Ireland is silly.

Compared to other EU capitals ..its fine believe me.

I don't think so, I lived there it's like this massive world mega city, Dublin is a village comparatively. We're probably more like Glasgow.

I’m a dubliner, born here, I’ve lived here the vast majority of my life...

You know it a lot better then me ? Bit of a stretch to say that considering you do not actually know me.

Walking in smart won’t stop you being smashed over the back of the head with a bottle in an unprovoked attack..as I endured...or being surrounded by a gang who assaulted my friend...

Compared to most European capitals I’ve been too its not fine... I’ve traversed through Paris, having lived there, Nice, Madrid, Copenhagen, and more besides without a hint of danger... various hours of the day and night...

Walking in clueless? Great so everybody who has been the victim of assaults has ‘walked in clueless’ ?

Weird logic sorry.... Dublin is dangerous...the crime stats prove it is..

IMO you're more likely to get "started" on a night out in a small town than any city.

The sad thing is, it only takes a handful of videos of city centre fighting to spread on the internet, and before you know it 1000 people who might have travelled to visit Dublin won't bother.

I know a few incidents like this are incredibly rare, but that is the way a lot of folk think these days.
