Looting in Lidl?(mod warning in op-read it)

For far too long in this country we have been supporting those who do nothing to support themselves. Worse still we give them financial incentives to reproduce so the cycle goes on and on, dysfunctional people having dysfunctional children.
The only way to ever solve the problem is by education and I don't mean just educating the children because it is no good trying to teach them how to be respectable, productive human beings with any sense of morality if they must go home every day to drunken or druggie parents or some other form of dysfunction.
Education should start with the parents. They should be forced to attend special schools each week and their dole and other handouts witheld unless they do. People in prisons should also be forced to attend similar classes.In these schools they should be taught basic reading and writing skills as well as civics and morals (not religion) and they should be taught how to speak without swear words in every sentence. They could also be taught basic thing like home economics ,how to provide a decent home, maybe even how to cook a nourishing meal for their children.
No doubt a scheme like this would cost millions but it would be almost self funding because while these people were attending school they couldn't be out scamming the system, drinking or drug taking, or causing mayhem as many of them usually do and hopefully if they learned anything at all there would eventually be a huge reduction in crime rates and in the other things that these skangers do to cost the State money.
This education programme, starting with the parents and then extended to the children would at least give these people some social skills and a sense of achievement and maybe make them aware of how education could benefit them and their children. They could be shown a better way of life than the only one they know now.
The other thing that needs huge reform in this country is the legal system. The law needs to have more relevance to justice. Sentences and punishment should fit the crimes. The past records of offenders should be permissible as evidence. If a person is accused of a violent crime or drug dealing and he has 33 convictions for doing the same or is out on bail then the jury should know this.
I know this all sounds like Utopia but unless we start somewhere then nothing will change and I don't see politicians doing much to change anything at the moment.

unreal company will have it fixed and open in 3/4 weeks watch this space

Mostly insured too.

He was a complete idiot for what he said.

He is happy to have a soap box to use when he sees fit, but he was not aware of the downside to using it. A harsh lesson learned no doubt.

And how the Gardai didn't punch one or two of those little scrotes while arresting them I don't know. I certainly wouldn't have the self control that they have...

This wasn't a case of someone who was hungry walking into an open shop and helping themselves to food to feed themselves or their family.......

......this was a mob taking advantage of the weather and breaking into somewhere to steal.

So while a lot of people chose to respond constructively to the weather by helping their neighbours, keeping essential services operating, etc, this feral lot decided to exploit the situation to suit their own selfish ends. What they stole is irrelevant, their justification is what sets them apart.

I’m not justifying it.

I’m talking about what he posted.

As far as what happened, Lock them up and throw away the key as far as I’m concerned, they are muppets.

But they are not representative of the area as a whole and this weird fixation that people on this site have with people on welfare... less said about that the better.

I’ve just been reading it. It’s soul destroying. John Connors is a kind of a cult? He can say whatever he likes and if you disagree with him it is because you are a racist bigot.
....oh and he’s the only one out there fearless enough to speak the truth.

Typo?

This is a case in hand where it must be seen to be stamped on. The huge danger now is if others see these people get off with a slap on the wrist it will encourage more of this lawlessness .
Many People in that area were in their homes locked in with young children terrified of what was going on . Now a community have lost the shop and lost far more . They have lost feeling secure and lost feeling comfortable in their home .
My guess is this gang of feral young men was causing trouble for many over a period of time escalating into lawlessness and crime . I am sorry for the majority or decent people who now have to listen to people tarring them with the same brush as these scum and do not deserve that.
On this thread alone we have posters who think the community were to blame for not approaching this out of control feral dangerous mob . The foolishness of thinking any civilian could have stopped this when the Gardaí had to retreat until they got assistant is remarkable .
This has to be stopped in its tracks right now

Which is?

Christ, the place is destroyed.

It will take a few months to get that back up and running. Meanwhile, about 50 people will lose their jobs, people who earn a modest wage, working class types who probably live in the area.

But sure, as John Connors put it, they (Lidl) are just a bunch of Cnuts.

That's some serious damage alright.

Reality is though that there will be some sad lowlife cnuts celebrating this right now..

Mad craic or something

Twitter is a cesspit, granted. But John Connors is supposed to be some kind of enlightened figure who has had the red carpet rolled out to him by RTE.
Yet, when the mask slips he comments like this.

Don't let the veneer of modernity or equality fool you, underneath he is a reactionary idiot. He doesn't even condemn the actions of these looters when he is brought to task. Id say he hangs around with a bunch of middle class yes men who want to be seen as hip by having a famous traveller as a 'friend'. SJW's exposed for all.

Can we all go up and rob John Connor's place now? Sure he won't mind.

The best reply to him on Twitter i saw was the guy that said he was glad he streamed cardboard gangsters instead of paying to see it. Can't have the big corporations stealing from us

But sure the government let this happen by not creating jobs in these areas....

Solution, destroy a business premise that created jobs.....

SJW/Socialist logic.
