    I usually like to see corroboration from another source before believing all the details in a Dublin Live story. Alas, I can’t find one.

    If its true its pretty shocking and infuriating that the cnuts would have the balls to do this, and that there would be no repercussions.

    Generally don't believe we should follow the US in many things.

    However if this is true we should have a response that they would have if a US military base/hospital was attacked.

    Doubt it’s true. Surely there would have been lads on guard duty. And I’m pretty sure defence of gov property is a legit reason to open fire.

    First they came for the socialists...

    Such absolute rubbish. Dublin live is one terrible.website.

    Explosives, fireworks I guess they mean!
    'Retaliation by a drugs gang' yeah, right................


    BTW OP, we do have domestic terrorism, it's not a gang of youths throwing fireworks around.......

    The bombardment of the hospital and the guards hut at Montpelier Gardens in Arbour Hill, Stoneybatter was nonstop on Friday and Saturday.

    "Nonstop Bombardment" of petrol bombs. I would love to see any building stand up to a 48-hour seige of petrol bombs.

    It's October. This was most likely a group of scrotes throwing fireworks and crude homemade devices at anything that resembles authority and thinking that they're bleedin' deadly.

    There should be a general ban on posting Dublinlive links.

    Soldiers in guard houses are armed with live rounds.

    Emmm anyone else wondering why they were attacking a military hospital when their beef was with the Gardai? Surely they'd have attacked the Garda station?

    Yes?

    Would you rather someone threw a banger at your house, or a petrol bomb?

    I'd rather nobody threw anything at our defence forces.
