RECKLESS TO BE IN "BLOOD STREET" AT THREE IN THE MORNING.
Rose's drinking spree in John Street until 3 AM.
- Then she sinks the good name of Kilkenny by falsely attributing racism in national media.
- But "The Kilkenny Journal" leaps to the city's defence.

Certainly if it happened real racial abuse should not be tolerated - but what was a young woman of her age doing out in the street, a street notorious for low life and their drunken violence, actually nicknamed as "Blood Street" at three in the morning after a Saturday night on the town. The Gardai face real violence and have even faced a murder we know of after pub hours on that street.
Where was the drinking going on until 3.00 AM in the morning, what pub did she come from? Surely this is not behaviour worthy of a Rose to be "going around the streets at night", especially in such a notorious area on such a mad time of night. What else would anybody expect on John Street at Three in the Morning - you could get stabbed or raped , for God's sake. So why all this fuss about a load of shyte from some drunk in a chipper at that hour of the morning?
Surely she should have simply left and went home. The chipper itself is worse to be open at that ungodly hour - we all know of the violence that can erupt at chippers after hours. It's not a time of the morning for the newspapers to be expecting polite behaviour. People who frequent Blood Street at such a dangerous hour are reckless as to their own safety.
Instead we get sermons from the idiotic liberals of the media about some words from people drunk, probably drugged out of their heads as well. Kersten should thank her lucky stars it wasn't a lot worse and be more sensible in future about where she frequents and drinks at such a dangerous hour - because you can't argue with drunks who are out of their heads and she should know that.
No careful young ladies would allow themselves to be near that place at that hour and that is the truth of it. No young woman from our own family would dare be caught over there late on a Saturday night. John Street is a lovely place for the rest of the week. But late on Saturday night you risk getting your face smashed in for no reason whatsoever, because there is no reason in existence over there at that time of the morning.
As regards some racial remarks that was a real let-off for her if that's all that happened, and from the Garda statement it would appear so. We note that she did not allege to the gardai that any violence was threatened but chippers in the early hours of the morning after the pubs have closed are very dangerous places to frequent. Nice girls do not in fact enter there at such an hour. It's the same everywhere, you have to use your own cop on and be prepared to have to fight your way out and run if attacked. That's no place for any decent woman to be. Not even grown men would be over there at that hour after a Saturday night out.
Happily it ended peacefully without any injury. There's the old saying about "sticks and stones" - to get out of Blood Street at that hour on a Saturday morning is an achievement to be thankful for in itself.
Now you can go on to read all the song and dance the mainstream media made about it - without ever pointing out how grateful Kersten should be - and especially to the gardai - for getting away alive and unhurt.
But her only reaction was to phone the national media and bring national odium down on Kilkenny - though the entire city is blameless, for we were all at home and in our beds and sound asleep during that drunken episode in the chipper.
Here, just read the Dickhead in the Sun raving on without ever realising the danger that lurks always in such places at such ungodly hours wherever in the world one may be.
And as regards racism, surely expressions of it happen in daylight hours and not when all good citizens are asleep in our beds at 3 AM. in the morning,

Ladies, lock yourselves at homes, for your own safety.
