    There is no such breed of dog as an Alsatian dog.

    So you can see Makikomi's point now?

    In Lebanon, wild or "wadi" dogs were a problem due to the threat of rabies. These fckers travelled in packs and used to wander into the posts.

    These dogs were pretty much, eh destroy on sight. The pistol was found to be a less effective weapon against wadi dogs due to accuracy and shot placement.

    The shotgun was the weapon of choice to guarantee a result against a wadi dog. Hence what Makikomi was eluding to.

    No probs going with that. Always ready to learn. Like I said my knowledge is simplistic. .22 pistol and rifle shooting. Anything that can educate me is welcome.

    Sound, I don't want to be coming across as a d1ck but we actually have experienced the need to shoot dogs in the past.

    However, a 9mm round is still a serious calibre...I wouldnt fancy getting hit with one :pac:

    So the Garda will now defend the chop shops out of loyalty and guilt?

    Later that day, the AH experts on ....well....everything, hadn't moved forward an inch. But they had a great time dissing each other, while the rest of us were at work.

    Has an after hour thread ever lead to something other than going round in circles?

    He shot an Alsatian.
    There is no such breed.

    Ghost dog is my guess.



    Or there was a German shepherd there.

    20 years ago the independent printed this

    https://www.independent.ie/irish-news/marriage-link-to-traveller-illness-26177443.html

    Inbreeding amongst the traveller community is a huge issue and I doubt it has improved over the last 20 years. It leads to a whole range of intellectual issues.

    It would be inconceivable in this political correct age for an issue like this to be brought up. Lower IQs, a symptom of inbreeding, is a massive precursor for anti social behaviour.

    While I agree it may be best to not use such British terms. Alsatian is in the oxford dictionary and it is British English that we all speak on this island.

    Well one thing we've established anyway is, the Guard and the van driver weren't mates, which was first suggested on Broadsheet yesterday morning and taken as gospel. Unless the Guard served in cork before he was transferred to Longford.

    Transit driver: "Tom I'm coming up your way tomorrow to collect an auld truck that I got a bit of work done on. I think the garage may be a bit dodgy, so, is there any chance you'd come along and bring the gun with you in case there's any hassle.

    Tom: "No worries. What caliber would you like?

    The Guard has armed officers at his house now for protection.

    People are pretending that he was calling out to the boy scouts rather than some of the most vicious people in the country.

    He has good reason to fear for his life and his family.

    They would think nothing of killing him.

    Not only would there be no way that would be printed today, I very much doubt any academic would carry out such research as it would be frowned upon. This is one of the reasons that these days, apologists for the darker aspects of all kinds of protected minorities can cry “there’s no proof of that” when such things are brought up.

    Here's a recent academic article from Ireland on the issue that mentions travellers.https://www.researchgate.net/publication/283079071_A_review_of_consanguinity_in_Ireland-estimation_of_frequency_and_approaches_to_mitigate_risks

    Also, I've seen a HSE page on the risks of cousin marriage which I think is fairly clearly aimed at our friends.

    I agree that you wouldn't get away with printing medical truth like that in a newspaper any more. Crazy censorship by the bleeding hearts.

    Yea, so maximum marks for the outrage, but dogs cannot be murdered. Murder is reserved for humans and humans only ;)

    As for "only a psycopath would kill a dog", that's also incredibly wrong. Blinkered opinion :rolleyes:

    The sooner the political establishment grows balls and call the traveller crimina fraternity out for what they are - a major criminal organisation and treat each and every traveller as a criminal unless they can prove otherwise, the better for the country.

    The apologists won't like this, but I suspect that you could show that the MAJORITY* of adult travellers have a criminal conviction. - Hence, there should be no issue calling them for what they are - a deep rooted criminal organisation and ZERO taxpayer funds should be directed to them until that changes.


    * Over 30% of adult travellers will spend time in prison at some stage in their lives for criminality. (CSO figures) Considering that less than 20% of criminal convictions result in a custodial sentence, its highly likely that the majority of adult traveller have a criminal conviction.
