The Dublin Youth gangs continue to emulate their London idols by assaulting random youths.
Won't be long before the Kids start stabbing eachother.
try a little harder reading the article, the whole article. Quite vague. says north dublin. Also and i quote," Some groups are using the Luas line to travel into the area. In one incident at the Broombridge stop, a large group of dozens of teenagers were intercepted by gardaí."
These random attacks are very similar to the attacks previously reported over the last few years in North Dublin, with the culprits frequently using public transport to travel around. Similar attacks have been reported in Balbriggan for example
Journal locking the comments on this story as you'd expect.
Did you read the OP at all Chocolate Ice? The youths in this case doing the attacks and posting to tiktok were from Cabra and Broombridge. Any excuse to post some weird Gemma O Doherty type of website link though eh
These teen gangs have been a fixture for years and nothing is done. The mainstream media, outside of the odd tabloid, and the quangos don't want to touch it with a barge-pole. I wonder why?
Here are some links, the first, has a video of one of the gang encounters from 2020 https://www.irishmirror.ie/news/irish-news/teen-gang-war-continues-dublin-22502497
The second even includes a photo of one of these gangs taken by themselves as far back as 2019 https://theliberal.ie/tyrrelstown-terror-local-residents-say-teenage-gangs-are-simply-out-of-control/
It's absolutely ridiculous when serious issues like this can't be properly discussed because of fear that someone might get offended
There is no incentive to cop on if you can’t be properly prosecuted for it.
The smart ones will realise when they need to get their **** together, the others will just keep doing what they are doing.
The real problem is the rising dependency on social media validation which gives people short term attention fixes, without which they don’t seem to have a persona.
I know I would have been an absolute sucker for this sort of **** and I am just glad that I am obviously too old for this sort of craze.
Yeh saw the pics and vids shared online. Sinn Fein representative speaking about it but not giving details or descriptions.
Comments disabled on the article in the OP so I'm guessing not.
The article does a great job of dancing around the specifics but I'm guessing it's the same crowd that were attacking people on the DART line previously.
And how much is this going to cost? You could pay a carpenter a few hundred to knock up a guillotine, sharpen up the blade and set it up in the town center; keep the heads rolling. You could transport it from town to town. Why don't people just listen to me? I could fix crime in two weeks if they'd just listen.
God Christians who do charity when they go to court
There is pretty much no deterrent so this be what happens…
What does crack down hard on them mean?
Arrest them and bring them to court? "oh they are under 18. That'll be an asbo and the Probation Act, run along now kiddo and be good"
Realistically, for under 18s that is all that can be done except in all but the most extreme cases of repeat offending that have not responded to multiple interventions
But will the media report accurately on the gangs? Will we be allowed to discuss these gangs fully?
This was on the radio earlier and they were rightly critical. Later in the show they had a soft piece interview with an MMA fighter.
