    there is about 12 scumbags out my back road flashin a 92 robbed nissan micra around, the noise of it and they crashed it into a neighbours wall. thgey just keep wrecking it until the car cant do no more and then they will just burn it.

    They have the "tunes pumpin" and there hangin out of the windows how do they not kill themselves? bashing it into the kurbs and wrecking the place. Just mayhem. the Garda were called a half an hour ago so they will be down in the mornin they dont want to get involved.

    If its not a micra its a honda civic or a moped.
    There terrosing the streets of Dublin, scum.

    Tell me your stories or views about this lethal "fun" they have!

    Actually,I was playing IRA(you know,one team makes a word, the other beats it out of people,letter by letter) with some friends recently (I would like to emphasise that Im 16. Im allowed be a child.), and a couple of lads around here were joyridin in some car...beltin it down the road, one of em stuck his head out the window and said to me and a friend; "oi, dya want some bangers bai?!", before belting it off. We thought nothing of it,and continued on our hunt. Two of our other team mates, who were girls, were after coming around the corner, as had the car. They got out of the car,and started chasing the two girls, screaming at them. So the girls run off, as me and my brave friend..hide in a ditch. anyway, they get back into the car, laughing, and continue to drive around terrorizing others. We meet up with the two girls, and they said that the 4 of them hopped out of the car, and one of them hit her. Ages around 17-20 or so.

    Anyway, they refuse to ring the cops, so me and the friend say we'll go up there,and if they're still there, we'll ring ourselves. So we go up, and they come belting around the corner, once again. Except this time they smash into a wall. Shame they were clever enough to have seatbelts on.

    Em well the good thing about joyriding is there is a high chance of 1 of the joyriders dying a painfull death. The more ppl that see there friends die and suffer from joyriding the less ppl will do it.

    Did you see the primetime program on these scum a few months ago ?

    They actually don't have enough understanding of the world to realise that what they see happening to other people could actually happen to them.

    And the real down side is that they usually take someone with them.

    and:

    I echo the sentiment.

    I think the usual sentence is "Please don't do it again."

    Sorry but i dont find it sad at all when joyriding idiots are killed in car smashes. In fact, i think i dont think enough of them are killed. The less of these scumbags are roaming the streets/roads the better.
    Whats sad is when an entire generation of family is wiped out in a car smash, mother, daughter, grandparents, etc, and yet these scumbags can hare around in a micra all night long, smash into a wall, and walk away without a scratch going 'Deaaaaadly buzz!!!'

    I don't think it's sad if a scumbag joyrider dies. I think it's a good thing. As long as they haven't killed anyone else but themselves (and their friends), I couldn't care less.

    i do.. i think its' sad when someone so young loses their life without knowing how they could have achieved so many things.. obv, the innocent people are most in my mind..

    I think the government should give funding for a joyrider park. Where they leave hundreds of old cars parked in some purpose built park or something, and let them drive around however the hell they want in it. There should be landmines hidden in the ground though so they'll get a better buzz out of not dying if they make it through the night. We could all pay in and watch them for our own amusement.

    My mate's Honda Civic was nicked from Stillorgan shopping centre car park a few years back. The next he heard about it was when the Gardai called round. They told him they'd found the car, totalled out in Tallaght somewhere. My mate was well pissed off.. only compensation was, the filthy scumbag who took the car, was thrown when it crashed, and he lost an ear..

    About 2 months ago, I was asleep in bed, when I heard an almighty crash outside the house (I was living in an estate in Dublin at the time, not known for it's pleasantries..) Went outside and discovered my car had been ploughed into by another car. The occupants of the other car then drove off down the road and burnt it out.. :mad:

    Scum of the earth the lot of them. Kneecapping is too good for them.

    I don't agree. I think there is a high chance that these little f*ckers escape relatively uninjured 9 times out of 10. Ever see those Car chase programs. The joyriders drive through a junction without stopping, cream a car as they go across, their car spins, smashes and rolls over even, car wrecked...................the f*ckers always crawl out and are capable of still outrunning the police on foot. Meanwhile the innocent that was creamed is either dead or is being cut out of their car. Its probably something to do with a head-on collision from the joyriders point of view meaning maximum crumple zone, airbags, seatbelts coming into play, whereas the innocent who was hit side-on has.......a door protecting him/her. What happens to pedestrians is just horrific. Remember the poor guards on the stillorgan dual carraigeway. Big Police mondeo hit by a tiny mazda mx5 at 120mph. The little scumbags survive and two brave guards lose their lives. Scum, Scum, Scum, Scum, Scum!!

    So IMHO, not enough of them die.

    As for punishment!! Your Honour, poor little anto has no leisure facilities and is bored, sure of course if the government don't provide leisure facilities he'll get into mischief. I know he's gotten the probation act each and every time for his previous 50 convictions but he assures me your honour that he will be a good boy from now on.

    (Maybe if Anto didn't get himself barred from every Cinema, bowling alley, youth club, amusement arcade, snooker hall etc in a 20 mile radius by vandalising, bullying, thieving, Stabbing other kids for their nikes or mobiles, setting fire to 'stuff' etc etc etc he might have some 'other' leisure facilities to avail of!!!!!)

    ye thta micra ended up in the field burned out. as they all do. one of the tyres burst and it was going around on the rims for about an hour, sparks everywhere and the tunes still pumpin. Deadly buzz boys, rapid.

    out of the joyriding that goes on here they never get hurt, never.

    Actually, most of these people have been hurt. If you've ever been in an accident and only lightly injured (no major blood loss, head injury or broken bones) you won't feel much pain for about 15 minutes until the adrenilin wears off. Most muscle damage won't be felt for 24-48 hours.

    Remember the MX5 that was nicked from an appartment in Dalkey and crashed into a police car on the Stillorgan Dual Carriageway and killed the two policemen?

    That was serious stuff. I live in blackrock and could hear the car driving around screeching, sirens and the almighty thud when i was walking home near the dual carriageway. Those little ****s are in kids jail for a bit. then they get out and become drug addicts and kill themselves. Id love to personally get an iron bar and knock the living **** out of joyriders or those knackers that are just too stupid to understand whats going on. they do nothing and are ****ing mongos. kill them all.

    There was a time when people who stole a horse/donkey would be beheaded where the animal would have a string, holding the blade, tied to them. When they walked away the blade would fall.

    I would LOVE to see the death of joyriders by death from the very same car they stole, being driven by the owner of the car. In the same way people would turn up to watch exections, I'd turn up to watch these bastards being killed.

    Other than that, I'm a pretty nice bloke, honestly.

    Lainey, wise up. These people will contribute *nothing* to society at all. They will sponge from you and the government for the rest of their lives, I wish them all dead, or pretty much close to it. Sorry, but I do.

    2 stories from Cork-

    Last week I was talking to a Garda who'd just come from a joyrider chase. Apparently, in Cork the joyriders head for the Tivoli docks and do their thang there. There's only one road out of there, tho'. So the cops put a squadcar across the entrance, and wait for them to run out of petrol...

    About 8 yrs ago, about 6 in the morning, I heard a car with the alarm going off coming up the road past the house. Joyriders, obviously- the lights were all flashing too. Just past the house, the stolen car stalled. The first squadcar following slowed...then speeded up, and rammed the back of the stolen car. This got the joyriders going again, and off with them, thru the red lights (where Lough Road meets Bandon Road, Corkonians!) and took the next left. Which is not a left, but a big f*cking wall. Luckily, there were a total of five squadcars in pursuit, to help shovel the remains into bags.

    I tells ya!:dunno:

    its such a waste of nice cars


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,144 ✭✭✭Runfree


    I think joyriders should be used as crash test dummies for all car companies. See how often they can say "deaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaadly buzzzzzzzz" before they die.

    and no they dont get no medical treatment if they are injured either. The more pain the better.

    They aqre only having a bit of fun. Its not their fault they grow up in areasd where they aree undder privaleged. Its society that crweats them so blame socieety. Just cause you all come from good homes is noexcuse fof doing them down


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,105 ✭✭✭Tommy Vercetti


    A team of about 60 Gardai with, say, 5 cars, a couple of vans and Garda Air Support Unit backup (and of course appropriate resources to punish offenders) could virtually eliminate joyriding in Ireland within a few months. But instead our ever-so-wise justice minister wastes his and our time with a half arsed referendum.

    boo-****ing-hoo. There's plenty of underprivelaged people that don't spend their weekends stealing cars and ruining lives.

    ****hole.
