    Why are they not calling these out for what they are?

    Gangs of travellers threatening, intimidating and assaulting farmers for confronting them for trespassing.

    The Gardai do fúck all about them too.

    "roving gangs" "people with lurcher dogs"

    politically correct nonsense

    Travellers? Scum more like. This is why Casey got 20% and if any politician has any sense he / she will focus in on dealing with this menace to society. Sorry, I mean ethnic minority.

    The gardai are terrified of travellers as well. They’d rather sit in their warm Garda station

    If it wasn't for Peter Casey and the 23% of us who voted for him RTE would not be highlighting this 3 days later. Of course the fact travellers are involved is being hidden but the viewers must know.

    The Gardai know that the judges give soft sentences and that there’s no point.

    What is the alleged aim of these "gangs"?
    Is it stake out of places?
    It's hardly just a leisurely stroll with dogs for fresh air?

    To thine own self be true

    "It is understood around 40 quad bikes, each worth several thousand euro, have been stolen from farms across rural parts of Limerick, Kerry and North Cork over the past year – potentially resulting in losses for local farmers in the hundreds of thousands of euro.

    Gardai have come under pressure to apprehend the culprits and at a meeting of Joint Policing Committee earlier this month, it was revealed by Cllr Sean Lynch that gardai had made a breakthrough recently and were “on top of it”.

    As part on the ongoing investigation, which is being led by gardai in the Newcastle West district two men – aged 55 and 37 –were arrested on Tuesday in the Kilmallock area.

    The men, who the Limerick Leader understands are from Eastern Europe, were detained and questioned at Bruff and Newcastle West"

    Its not only the travellers folks, these guys robbed 40 quads, only reason they got caught was that one farmer fitted a tracker.

    It's great to see such concern for their animals that they are happy to walk them at 3:30am. And people complain that they abuse animals! Once again Big Fat Fail to the Haters!!

    It should be easier to own a gun in the countryside.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 378 ✭✭Redneck Culchie


    About 2 minutes in already 1 brutal assault on an elderly farmer and another threatened with murder. And the scum that did strolling around still. Much of their activities dont receive media coverage

    The problem can be traced back in part to lack of prison spaces.
    That problem pervades the whole issue.
    There isn't space to put these people away so rubbish sentences are given

    Everyone should be asking their politicians why we do not have Thornton Hall built and why prison spaces are not being grown to deal with the problem.

    They're not and they wouldn't. The Guards aren't the issue. Their funding can be and most of the lack of political will to tackle such things and the courts being excessively lenient. I've known Guards who've gone after them, built cases, cases that could take months, only to be let go on technicalities, or the accused have left the country, or worse convicted and yet another slap on the wrist at the court stage.

    Many worry about Artificial Intelligence. I worry far more about Organic Idiocy.

    Go one step further, inbreeding and a culture of truancy.

    Now
    Don't you be quoting real facts
    Just join the mob and blame everything from the weather to the financial crisis on the Travellers

    Lenient sentences and repeat offenders with hundreds of convictions are to do with the scumbag free legal aid barristers making a mint. Until this is reformed we will be faced with knackers and louts and parasites wrecking decent peoples lives. Thats the key here really. Tougher sentencing like the good old usa. 3 stirkes and your out.

    Any scumbag caught robbing a house for the third time should get 15 years without parole and get rid of remission.

    nope, it's everyone else's fault apart from the perpetrators of the crimes, the farmers shouldn't be having fields!
