While they were doing that, a gang of lads on bikes surrounded them trying to intimidate them. One of the bucko's smashed in a couple of windows of the Garda car. Well they got a nice surprise the next day, didn't they. 5 arrested and 11 bikes took. Payback.

Still waters wrote: » yes of course we should, I'm from a working class family, my father is in the buildings my mother in hospitality, I wanted to learn how to ride horses when I was 11 or 12, so my father got me a job cleaning out stables with a local horse breeder, my payment was riding lessons, no money only hard work exchanged to learn an important life lesson, the more we give these scum for nothing the more they expect for nothing, Dublin is booming, let them learn the value of hard work and stop treating them with kid gloves, it's like we reward these people for acts of criminality

Drive the wrong way down the road over paths with no safety equipment, and you're fine. About 3 weeks ago, the above happened in front of me. Weaving around oncoming traffic. One of them a Garda car. They just kept driving. Catching these scrotes on the bikes is too much hassle for the Gardai so they don't bother. And the scrotes know that.

Now they have a bike problem. This isn't about having somewhere to practice a hobby. They don't want to do legal things. The bike issue doesn't really have anything to do with travellers. It's been made clear in the media lately. Gardaí have been told not to pursue them and been told that they face financial liability if they do and one is injured. It's also been made clear that the legislation needs to be changed to properly address the issue because the current definition of where road traffic laws apply excludes parks and fields.

The reason they do it is because people like you constantly make excuses and allowances for them instead of condemning their scumbag behaviour.

anewme wrote: » There's still a huge horse problem in Ballyfermot. The horse initiative was a good one, however it really only captured the people with a genuine interest in animals. The other scum still ill treat the horses, take a look at the work "my lovely horse" rescue do in West Dublin. I'm in awe of these people for the situations they face. I also dontt see the bike issue as Travellers. Travellers are those racing gig things that should Be banned. The ones where the horses drop dead like the one on the Cold Cut Road, where they fckrd off left the horse dying in the road after collapsing having been run into the ground and leaving schoolchildren to see it. They tear up the main roads in Clondalkin on their scramblers over both railway bridges. It can only be a matter of time before there is a tragedy. I only hope the tragedy is one of them and not an innocent person.

The usual solutions are copy n pasted here - cull, castrate and condemn, rather than join in I would prefer an alternative approach and ask what is it we would need to understand in order to provide a solution? I know it’s a minority approach, but hey I’m more logical than emotional, i understand I may be getting in the way of good thereputic hate session, but don’t make up stuff and accuse me of making excuses for such behavior.
