    Just passed the bottom of New Street. Garda tape closing it off and one of those tents they use to cover a scene a bit up the street.

    Absolutely shocking news. RIP to the victim and my thoughts go out to his family and friends.

    Waterford is getting more and more dangerous, you cant even go out and enjoy yourself anymore. Deadly city. :(

    This comes after a heroin drug-den was found in the Viking Triangle, and after a student was stabbed about 4 weeks ago outside the foundry. Not trying to sound sensationalist, but this city seems to be getting worse with crime. Honestly this is embarrassing as we were just awarded the purple flag...

    Isn't there some reports of drug dealing going on on the new Greenway too?

    Considering that one of the victims is from Wexford I'd highly doubt it

    There was a man in his 40's stabbed on O'Connell Street on Thursday evening too. A section of the road was cordoned off.

    And I believe that there was a sexual assault somewhere in Waterford too, recently?

    Rotten few weeks for the city. That's three stabbings causing one death, possible sexual assault and a fatal car accident in Tramore.

    Ah the typically reliable yet inherently racist Irish source, can't beat them.

    I'm having some trouble finding any utterance of racist remark here. Can you back me up or are you going to pull a few straw men?

    Maybe racist is the wrong term and xenophobic is more correct. But i swear to god we blame all our troubles on non-irish when it's very clear that 99.9% of our troubles are caused by Irish people.

    If a non national has been arrested (and is the guilty party) then I guess for once the rumours lucked out.

    Still conducting a search this morning. Tech Bureau say they have "a good few hours" left of searching to get through.

    Never accused YOU of racism but I hear stories from these sources all the time such as "this black refugee family is getting x, y and z from the government".

    Your source said that it involved a feud between two non national gangs yet it appears to be a random/spontaneous attack with one of the parties from Wexford. Now, unless people from Wexford are considered to be non national then your story is clearly coming from somebody who just decided it was foreigners who did it and that's it.

    From what I heard, I don't think it was spontaneous.

    What are you on about??,you do know a foreign national could be from anywhere you're the only one who brought race into it.

    A 28 year old father of 3 was killed and this is all you can bitch about :rolleyes:

    Of course I know that a foreign national could be from anywhere. My point is a finger was pointed straight away at a foreigner when we should be looking at our own home grown scum for this sort of heinous act.

    I actually have it solved already but I just want to see how it long after me it takes the Garda to figure it out. But seriously the sun does not hold back in describing the individual. I'm not gonna post the link here but just want to see if anyone has read it.
