North Dublin is a pretty big area, have you managed to develop omnipotent status?! These scumbags like to film their scummy day trips and bashings and share them on snapchat, literal video evidence isn't good enough for you. You have to see it with your own eyes?! To add, you opened with Statistically as if you alone, and your 3-7 trips have any kind of statistical significance.. riiiiiight.

If the discussion was about feral white teenagers on the Dart then I would have some evidence to point to. And yes, if gangs of teenagers are rampaging across north Dublin then those of us frequently on public transport expect to see it.

Franz Von Peppercorn wrote: » You guys don't even begin to understand the rudimentary of statistics. If I had once been on the Dart then you may have a point. Instead I am on it 3-7 times a week northbound ( double that in total). Across all times, I get home anytime from 6pm to midnight if I go out. And in between. Rowdy gangs ( like the locals I saw yesterday) I can see anywhere on the platform. I go to all of the stops, and yet here we are - Ive seen nothing.

There are claims on this thread that it is a very widespread problem within a particular ethnicity. It clearly is not but it certainly seems to be localised. What we can agree on is that it is a particular age group that are implicated in this type of behaviour anywhere in the country.

Please see the analogy above re: traffic accidents, for a really good example of how utterly stupid the assertion that your experience is somehow statistically significant. Did you miss the poster who NOW lives in one of the areas affected?

Franz Von Peppercorn wrote: » Oh ffs. If there were riots at any time in a housing estate I lived in if know about it. If there were marauding gangs in that housing estate I’d know about it. If there were gangs in the actual area I live in and travel to every m Day I would know about it. Those videos are nonsense by the way. Can anyone actually find on google maps where the portadown riots were.
