    There were so many issues you spoke about in your post I feel really self centred giving a response for my little quip, but here it comes anyway. Youre totally right, someone did suggest smashing their faces in, and filming them doing the car damage. There were two reasons we didnt.

    First, we were all at a house party when this happened, and leaving aside whether or not the people who rent the house were supposed to have a houseparty there in the first place they were 3 girls living alone who have to stay there until at least next Summer when their lease is terminated.

    Right or Wrong to stop those kids yourself? remember don't say call the gardai we all know how long it would take them to get there

    Retaliation is just something that would have happened, if not from the kids themselves, then from their older brothers and 'associates'. On a small note of clarification, when we did deny these 7yr olds drink and cigs and they had finished challenging me to a fight (im 6"6) they decided that they would pick up stones and rocks and hurl them at the window of the house. It was at this point we called the gardai.

    The Gardai, in fairness, arrived and had a little chat with everyone and in my opinion took us very seriously. After that, im not 100% sure because I went home, there wasnt that much trouble as far as I know. The Gardai kept an eye on the area and extingushed their bonfire (as they had deserted by the time the boys in blue showed up). There were two uniformed officer and one plain clothes officer.

    When I left to get a taxi, 4 lads decided to walk with me down the main road, and the one of the girls who owned the house insisted I do this because she was that scared of a gang retaliation if id been on my own and unaware.

    (I particularly liked the bit about beating 7-year-olds unconscious)

    If after thousands of years people have not got some sence of right and wrong there comes a point when you say no more, so no - its not a joke

    Hmmmm

    This is very interesting
    I remember many many years ago i had a gaf party we where bout 16 i think maybe 15 i don't know but ye some very young guys asked for smokes we said no, go away (this was on the way into my old apartment)
    Then they and there brothers attacked one of my friends when he went to the chipper (its about 30 second walk from the appartment) anyway long story short they started throwing stuff at the window one of the friends jumped out the door and ran at them holding 2 steak knives and shouting, that kept them at bay for a little while, anyway they dispersed once the gardai arrived (we didn't call them most likely the chipper or a neighbor)

    The gardai entered a house (we didnt know it was gardai) and the 1st thing they see is me holding a extendo-baton so they take it off me there is a apartment that stinks of weed and is packed of drunk underagers and i must say that was the only time i was ever impressed by the gardai , all they did was make sure everyone was alright and not badly hurt they took my baton and said something like at least yous are in doors drinking not like those other idiots.

    So the point of that story is these primitives seem to think that if you don`t give them a smoke it is reason enough to launch a attack against a house/apartment? There is something wrong there.

    Don't see how cancelling the bank holiday will make a difference...

    Jeebus.

    Where do all you people (with the Hellowe'en Horror Stories) live?

    Sum total of my spooky season experiences:

    About 20 groups of trick-or-treaters, the last of which, an hour after the others, were a group of early to mid teens, who were a bit giddy, but calmed down when asked, and happily parted with the last of the munchies set aside for callers, and...

    ... about five or so firecrackers, nothing more substantial than that, and those were miles away by the sound of things.

    Just as it should be, fun for the kiddies.

    Cities, by their condensed nature will inevitably suffer more, but even accounting for that, all non urbanised boardsies surely don't live in sh1te areas?

    Everyone on boards seems to be 6'6. Weird.

    Meh, halloween brings joy to candy-loving kids and to grown-ups sad enough to be really into any vampire/witch nonsense. Let 'em have it.

    The whole fireworks and juve delinquents thing is another matter. I guess the Gardai just need to get on top of it.

    Meh, we already keep the 'primitives' down in the lower classes with our superior brain power. They are more useful to us alive, on the whole, I'd say.

    Everyone needs to stop calling everyone else on their 'whinging'. It's idiotic (not to mention ironic) in that it perpetuates exactly what you're speaking out (which does constitute 'doing something' btw) against.

    I was walking through Ballywaltrim / Oldcourt in the arsehole of bray on halloween night and there was nothing happening at all. No fireworks around and couldnt see any signs of bonfires and no little skangers running around. There were 2 garda cars patrolling constantly. I for one was pretty shocked, was expecting to come singed from the little fúcks firing rockets at me

    Ill support that. my mates and I were vandalised in Tallaght last night

    You were vandalised? :confused:

    No longer can the Irish laugh about being alcholics, what used to be a novelty is now a severe epidemic among the youth. Obviously the parents of today are not parenting like they should and correct punishments being implemented. Nowadays these scumbags in the making are out drinking gallons of alcohol, taking all sorts of drugs and committing all sorts of crime. The young girls of today are sluts and the "good" ones are pressurised into conforming into what is now the majority.

    Relax grandad. TBH Halloween skang crime (throwing rockets at people etc) is done either by pure scum or kids easily led by scumbags. This year there were relatively few rockets for some reason (compared to previous years, sometimes it seemed like Saddam had decided to sell off his WMDs in Dublin to raise funds for the insurgency). The young girls are sluts? tbh Ive seldom seen anyone dressed "like a prostitute" save for the pure scum. Theres a difference between dressed attractively and dressed like a junkie on the game for gear money.

    Mind you, some cheeky wee fecker was trick or treating the day before Halloween in town, he asked me for money and I gave him the 10 cent i was holding.

    "Ah come on, gizza eurrraaa!!!"

    Ran the prick, in my day we were happy with a few coppers and some sweets! Celtic Tiger raised mother****ers.

    We needs an armed police force that systematically wipes out the underclass, to hell with social reform and investment in communities and all that lark! rabble! rabble! rabble!

    but how can you be sure karoma? how can you be sure? i mean i could say "all knackers need to wiped out, gas chambers for the lot of them" and how could you tell whether my usage of knacker is the acceptable boards.ie "omg loike-total-knackbag-skanger" or the verboten cream cracker sense of the word?

    Such are the perils of doublethink :)

    I am putting forward the suggestion that we cancel the Bank Holiday for October 2007.

    The country cannot cope,its a skangers charter,decent lawabiding citizens are terrorised by thugs and skangers.

    Every knacker in the country uses it as an excuse to wreak havok on the law abiding citizens and the gardaí can do nothing.

    Take the oxygen out of the fire and smother it now before someone is killed and we have the usual caterwauling and excuses.


    Excellent idea!! I say we extend it to ban alcohol so we'll have no more drink-driving. Just a different type of sknager/knacker. And if we follow on from that we can ban cars, we can get rid of the gobsh1tes who feel the need to speed before the kill themselves and potentially kill others too.

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    So let me get this right. You threw a house party, in an apartment block, involving illegal underage drinking, illegal drugs, possesion of an offensive weapon (baton), threatening with an offensive weapon (steak knives), breach of the peace and assault/gbh (the only one caused by an outside party).

    And you want to round up the 'underclass' and have them killed.

    Might I suggest that if your own policy was in force that evening you wouldnt be around to type the charming neo-naziesque post above.

    Well golly gosh, uncle quentin, maybe he was even standing around with his shoelaces untied, lighten up. Maybe you should throw a party yourself sometime and invite a load of Sun readers to your shindig.
