I suppose the lad that was beaten near to death and filmed, wasn't beaten by one of these gangs, despite the ring leaders being clearly identified. Again, the way you're talking, you'd swear you were omnipotent. Where do you live, me thinks you're telling porky pies or maybe you are just genuinely lucky to not have run into these gangs in one of the affected areas. Seen as you're a fan of statistics, are you telling me you don't find it concerning that certain sections of society seem to be disproportionately committing acts of violence? And before you whinge about the all the scummer whiteys at it, well yes there are 'loads', because native Irish folks make up most of the population. I've no doubt you think this 'picking on' African gangs is somehow racism, except as others have noted multiple times, you don't see threads complaining about Chinese, Indian, Japanese, Korean gangs etc. I wonder why that is?

This was a tongue in cheek nod to Franz's earlier nonsense in stats. Funny, you didn't seem too intererested in asking him for stats? These folks don't seem to have gone far enough the system yet to have made a dent to place themselves alongside our friends in the travelling community, you know, the ones with the disproportionate incarceration rates.

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.

MrFresh wrote: » Related to the Kinahan Hutch thing? I don't think that is correct. Ironic that you make up a strawman to complain about one. The argument isn't "who cares about". The argument is that immigrants, by their nature, are no more prone to crime than Irish people, and it is not a valid reason to fear immigration.

MrFresh wrote: » I doubt there's any statistics that cover it. Crime statistics rarely look at the nature of people who commit crime.

Immigrants account for the 21% of prisoners in Europe, surprise for Switzerland, Italy and the case of foreign pre-trial detainees. In its reports Space I and Space II, the University of Lausanne, Switzerland, collected the most recent data on the prison situation in Europe." So over 1 in 5 in prison in Europe is an immigrant.
