Never left the need to lift the roof off a local supermarket though. Honestly is there any wonder scummers the way they do with shiite like this practically wiping their arses for them.

Everywhere mass uncontrolled immigration has been allowed has seen these types of problems. Imagine what a further 1 million immigrants will do within the next 12 years, unless you subscribe to the idea that they will be all Doctors, Engineers etc

I could putup a screenshot of the post, there was hundreds of comments from people saying if anyone inthe community was unable to get there they would get coal or milk or whatever was needed for the elderly or disabled. If anyone was robbing it or destroying it id bet my life that people would have done something. I would have done something. How do we get to the state that there was 30+ people in the video and not only did nobody do anything, but a dozen or so people joined in what the original 'heist masters' were doing?

I believe far-right forums are stoking this angle here, as they have done before More moderates amongst us should be aware of what is driving some posters.

You can even see by my posts (older accounts) then that I was trying to better myself, go to college, give him the life I didn't have blah blah blah. I was on rent allowance, single parents allowance, child benefit.....and I swear to god I was rolling in it. I lived in a penthouse apartment in Dublin in 2011, I had enough money to shop in dunnes, pay my bills, smoke 20 a day and I had svdp offer me 50 a week. It's unbelievable. Obviously you can't blanket it and say that because I did well, they will too. But another girl my age had a son the day before I did, she was raised 'right'. Loving family and all the good stuff you would hope for a teen mother. 7 years later she's on single mothers benefit, her son has been kicked out of 1 school, he's her little angle (obtuse if you're asking) She's always posting on Facebook asking for ways she can beat the system, she has rent allowance, child benefit, her boyfriend lives with her, she gets fuel allowance, svdp helps her every week. That's 7 years and she hasn't changed.

PandaPoo wrote: » That was my point though. Bray has a bad reputation, same as tallaght. And yet ive mentioned numerous stories of lovely people in my local area being helpful to elderly and disabled folk. My point (though I admit really hard for me to make clear) is that places like bray and tallaght get a bad rep, but for every story of badness there is 100 stories of kind decent people trying to help their neighbours. How do we end up with a bunch of people breaking in to a shop, looting it, people joining in, snapchatting it as if it's a bit of craic and other people who were nothing to do with the original bunch of scumbags, acting as if it's their lucky day and grabbing a few bits for themselves?
