Not even shocked or surprised at this, I know it's cliche to say "kids today are worse than ever" but we definitely drew the line at attempted murder when I was young. No doubt it'll be handwaved as "a moment of madness", I''m sure they have "difficult home lives" etc. etc. etc. I mean there's no facilities so this was bound to happen right?

Yeah, we didn't do terrible stuff like that....we just raised the kids that do it

Despicable!

Read this yesterday. Looks like a bunch of mostly young girls. What the hell is wrong with them?

mad muffin · 16-05-2019 09:26PM

Poor kids. Raised by cünts.

Our estate is full of kids. They play together outside everyday. None of them would in a million years ever dream of doing such a thing.

Richard Hillman · 16-05-2019 09:28PM

This is the level of scumbag coming through. I have seen them in my own area and 10-16 year olds are on a completely different level to what was before.

This is the first generation that was raised by tablets and phones.

fonecrusher1 · 16-05-2019 09:30PM

Ach the wee scamps. Society has failed them. Angels everyone one of them.

Bless.

Dont get fooled in to the thinking that girls are the poor unfortunate bystanders. They are very often doing their best to egg on young lads when fights are kicking off.

Scumbags are scumbags whether they are male or female.

Spreading the pictures on social media is probably the best thing to do with these cases. By all means call the Gardai and if they get arrested all the better, but at the end of the day theyll get little to no punishment so any bit of public shame that can be brought on them and their parents is better than nothing.

You might think they are a different level than before but they arent. You're just seeing more of it.

Theres a group of 13-16 year old running amok the whole time in clondalkin. Causing trouble every night of the week at McDonalds in the mill centre. Have been attacking other, quieter kids the last couple of years. Theyre there every day, brazen as **** with parents who clearly dont give a ****.

But talk to anyone from the area, similar was going on 20 years ago with the last generation.

Mother of two Jacinta, aged 14, defended her actions by saying she had no choice but to light the tent as she’d been on the social housing list for the last 3 years and has not been offered a 4 bed semi in Castleknock yet.

A: I'm not surprised any more.

B: I don't really give a fcuk anymore, why I hear you ask...?

This Country is fcuked, fcuked from the very top to the very bottom, the knunts in government have got into the lifeboats and pulled up the ladders. Nothing, and I mean nothing will change in this sh1tho1e until 1 of 3 things happen.

1: People are held to account and put away for a long,long time aka giuliani new york.

2: Vigilantes bury lots of these fcukers in the Mountains.

3: We get these kunts out of power.

The apathy in today's society is terrifying

Have these people no soul?

_Brian · 16-05-2019 09:53PM

As the generations of degenerates interbreed they get worse.
It’s hardly shocking news.

I don’t know what the answer is only keep far, far away from them for as long as you can.

There is no law for these people, no sanctions that they fear. When these things are bred out of them they are lost to normal society.

There's a difference between trying to burn a homeless man alive and burning a homeless man out of his tent. Clearly burning some fella out of his tent is deplorable, but it's clearly not as evil as intentionally trying to burn him alive.

s7ryf3925pivug · 16-05-2019 09:59PM

Lighting a tent on fire with someone in it is a scummy thing to do but it's not an attempt to burn them alive.

Ruraldweller56 · 16-05-2019 10:00PM

Let's find some way to blame the Catholic Church. Surely it's their fault?

If was asleep or intoxicated it would definitely be.
More scary is it's a form of arson thats a dangerous road to take

Sounds like you are trying to make excuses for these little scrotes behavior.
How do you know what their intentions were? There are some evil twisted young minds out there.

Parents have failed kids in this country.

Some parents have . Most parents have not . I see many parents doing a great job and making sure the kids are raised properly . Most kids are not like these cases .

The government's response to this will probably be to replace Maths with "Anger Management" on the leaving cert.

They must have been reading some of the posters comments on here about the homeless. and thought sure why not.

This sort of anti social behaviour and worse is nothing new. Unless someone can point out a time in the past when it did not exist. It certainly existed in Dublin in the 1960's.

https://comeheretome.com/2012/11/10/a-divided-rathmines/

In April 1966, Michael Vinny in The Irish Times described Keogh Square, Corporation Place and Mount Pleasant Buildings as “the three Dublin ghettos … used by the Corporation as dumping grounds for problem families.”

In January 1970, the Trinity News paper reported on its front page about a group of students in Ranelagh who were “attacked, terrorised and beaten up by hooligans” who tried to gate crash a party they were having. The students were attacked by bottles, frying pans, belts and metal bars. Two of their windows were put in. It was noted that the “attackers disappeared into the nearby Mount Pleasant Buildings, a Corporation house area popularly known as ‘The Hill’ (which) is notorious for gang violence”.

Eileen O’Brien column in The Irish Times in December 1970 was particularly harrowing. Titled ‘Living in fear in Ranelagh’, she talked to a number of frightened residents including an old woman who after coming home from a short stay in hospital found her flat wrecked and her clothes, coal and a statue of the Sacred Heart, that had belonged to her father, robbed.

As a parent I 100% to you statement.
If my children do something wrong I don't blame everything and everyone else.
I blame the fact that I or my wife did not educate them right from wrong properly
