Lucan is really turning into a kip these days, gang of 40 youths some carrying knives attacked a group of new year revellers at a bus stop. Then proceeded to smash up the bus.

Thankfully the bus turned up when it did or there would of been casualties. It seems no area is safe from this type of crap anymore.

So no area is safe, yet you highlight Lucan.

It's the article the highlights Lucan... Not the OP.

I don't see any patrols in the area and I'm frequently around the area at night. Between this and the chap getting viciously assaulted I would have expected to see patrols in the area. The only time I see the Gardai around Lucan they're just doing checkpoints.

I wouldn't be surprised if these lads were from Neilstown, Cherry Orchard etc. There's a few lads who have been causing trouble in my estate from Balgaddy.

The trouble is happening in Lucan but where do these lads live?

Balgaddys a bad s*ithole, and its only 5 mins away so you could be right. Its not beyond the realms of possibility though that this crew are actually from Lucan, or nearby Adamstown.

Thats because a Garda can get their required number of summons a month with a single good checkpoint. No point in spending hours interviewing people when you may only get a single summons or charge out of it when you might stop someone whose insurance or tax or insurance or NCT is out of date. And if its not out of date but they havent put it on the windscreen yet you can ask them to produce the documents at a station. If they dont produce you get to issue multiple summons for failing to produce, for non display and for no insurance/tax/driving license or NCT whichever it was. And if they do produce you might issue the summons anyway to boost your numbers. When they turn up in court you will just apply for have the case struck out. Easy overtime.

So why would they bother with the tough stuff for little to no reward when they can get promoted on the other nonsense. Maybe some of them issue fake summons to made up people to made up addresses to increase their return of work. Any journalists listening? Go sit in a district court and watch it happen day in day out across the country. Follow up with the people summonsed and build you story over a few months. It takes real journalism but do it. Then go look into how Gardai handle issues like violent assaults etc etc, how much resourcing goes into that...........

There are gangs like this popping up in estates all over Dublin. They hang around in huge numbers. Teenagers have always hung around in numbers but these gangs are 30-40 strong.

These will be the gangs that will be shooting each other in 5-10 years. There large numbers give them anonymity.

This is the the next generation after Hutch-Kinahan.

If nothing is done, and sadly it won't, we will be seeing nightly stabbings just like London in less than five years.

Roadmen.

Using Eircodes as their sign -

Here's a crew from down the sticks, (I presume the face covering is so their mammys don't recognise and kill them :pac: )

It's most likely just a bit of fun though, the ballys look intimidating but these are probably just young kids mimicking their peers - better they are putting their energy into producing music videos etc. than going around attacking folk at bus-stops i suppose..

I predict nothing but civil discussion for this thread.

Ah I remember it well, cycling around on my bike when I was young, meeting up with my 50 mates, washing our balaclavas together in the local stream. A quick knife-sharpening workshop and off we went into the night, free of parental supervision.

You mean like 'good' gangs and 'bad' gangs?

Like West Side Story but less clicking, more stabbing.

Imagine there was a force belonging to the government that policed areas and kept innocent people safe from violence, intimidation & anti social behaviour, I know it's the stuff of science fiction and fantasy, but it's nice to dream now and then.

Imagine parents took responsibility for their scumbag offspring. A fantasy I know in this Ireland of entitled wasters and spongers.

Yeah now you're moving into the stuff of myth and legend.

A lot of the parents of these kids only probably had kids so they could stay in the country and get extra benefits. No wonder they are roaming the streets now unsupervised

They're 100% pure Irish where I'm from.

That has been my experience too. Not that it matters but in the incident mentioned in the OP, were they Irish?

Red_Wake · 04-01-2019 03:22PM

Good to see a delightful movie of my youth continuing to inspire today's young people.

Despite Leo's best efforts!

I live in a neighbourhood. I say it too sometimes.
Estates are where racehorses graze and Jeeves polishes the Bentley, no?
