Halloween night - anti social behaviour/how do you deal with it ?

Flaccus

How many of you every year put up with this and do you do anything about it ?

Last year I had the rear of my car spray painted while it was in the driveway, and shrubs/trees in front garden set on fire. A person down the road had their car vandalised beyond recognition. Another person was battered with eggs while driving up the road and crashed. Needless to say I caught one of the scummers and held onto him while waiting nearly 40 minutes for the cops to arrive. It's an ongoing event every year and the cops are too busy dealing with more serious ussues. Most of the trouble makers are imported scum who know local lads in the area. Typically they drive into the esate in their sh*tbox glanzas, park up and wreak havoc. It usually kicks off the week before, peaks on halloween night and continues till the weekend usually. In the last week we have a person in our area with 1 burned out car because they rang the gardai complaining about their 2 year old not being able to sleep with bangers being thrown at their front door, all street lights smashed, 1 neighbours wall broken down, and about half a dozen or so smaller incidents. I know worse goes on in other housing estates. But most people I know seem to take it as they do not want to risk confrontation.

Just wondering if this sort of thing is something people on these forums just put up with. This year I have 2 mates coming around who will introduce anyone who wants to Mr. H.Url. Me, I'm going to move to another county next year as my nerves are shot.

If the cops are too busy to deal with them, they're too busy to deal with you after you grab one of them and run their face up and down the dashing on the side of the house until they're a bloody mess. You'd be surprised how effective a bit of sadistic violence is in deterring these people.

Tff, good idea though

Wow, that's some serious s**t though, I'm sitting here on my computer in the hallways, front door not locked, back door not locked, kids come knocking now & then, only told one of them off for looking at the goodies and saying, "I want that & that & that & I don't like nuts", I told him to have manners or he'd get nothing lol.

I really feel sorry for you having to put up with all that, it's terrible.

P.S. I guess it's pretty silly to ask where are these kids parents? Yeah right, I know it is really

just had to walk the long way home because all the local skangers were having a rave on the street and letting off rockets on the ground. i hate halloween

Live in a quite enough area, luckily, fireworks would still go off, and drive my Westie mental, but other than that, it's not too bad.

Ice cold water ballons would go down rather well, with some cheap booze in them. Not only do they go home wet, but they'll smell of booze.

jaysis where in gods name do you live ??? we sent the dog down to curragh for the night cos he gets too wound up with the fireworks but that's as bad as it gets around here

Not too bad in my area, but the cats are in for the nights, don't know what sick bastards will do with a firework...

@ Flaccus

You dont happen to live in Dublin 15 do you?? I live in Mulhuddart and the stuff you said that goes on is exactly the same as where I live. Its like Basra here the last few weeks. Cars getting smashed, house windows getting put in.. people pissing up against your wall. Scummers putting bangers into houses and apartments and setting them on fire (2 houses boarded up already). I moved my car to a neighbours for the whole of this week(got smashed up last week) and I have a huge block of wood blocking the letterbox... and to think I pay 1500 a month of a mortgage to live here. Hoping to move to Newbridge pretty soon... Cant wait to get out of this area.

I think Flaccus lives somewhere in Limerick as he\she did mention Clare was nearby?

Just heard on RTE news, that the fire service has received 600 calls so far up to 9pm compared to 700 for all of Halloween last year and that 9pm-12am is usually the busiest.

Sounds like whats happening up gazzers way tallies with what goings on!

They reckon it'll be the worst year ever for fires in the history of the 24hr fire brigade:eek:

Sad thing is i think faccus lives on my road

Granted the scummers around here know that ****ing with my kids safety means bad **** for them.

Fairly quiet here tonight which is very very odd.

i live in neilstown in clondalkin and its too quiet tbh :eek:

Coming home from work this evening I was waiting on the Luas at Charlemont bridge and I saw this WHOOMPH of a fire go up behind the barge pub. Little knackers in the flats there had obviously thrown some fuel onto their bonfire. Within a minute it was looking very out of control so I rang the fire brigade.

Pity these scummers don't blow their hands off with their bangers and rockets, eh?

Check this out - some knacker let off 200 rockets in a local off licence. 200!!!

Archery or swordsmanship are also good

Luckily enough the area we live in now is nice and quiet (didn't get one kid calling to the door this year even) but still have to keep the cat in, just in case.

In all honesty, though, most little scumbags will be so thrown if you run out at them roaring and swinging either a hurley or an ornamental sword they'll do a runner, rather than standing their ground. Just make sure to keep an eye out front they don't get up the courage to try to come back with more mates.

One little such feckless gimp who was taking a shortcut through our back garden one year got the full on maniacal-roars-while-swinging-ornamental-sword routine from both myself and the hubby, and got such a fright he cleared a 10 ft fence in one jump before we even got over the threshold of the back door to the garden.
Added bonus - told all his little scummer mates about the lunatics living in the house and all steered well clear from then on.

Don't think the cops are any great deterrent - drove through a local town today to see a huge bonfire pile stacked on the town green - garda barracks stands on the border of the green, which is little more than the size of a football field, so in plain sight of the barracks, and not a thing done to take it down.

Jeebus. That's scary.
My younger cousin got fireworks thrown under his car while he was stopped at traffic lights last year. Little scumbags. Luckily no-one was using the intersection so he could drive off through the red lights before his car went up in flames.

BigEejit

God almighty, all these stories remind me of the scum that used to "trick or treat" for a month before Halloween when I lived in Galway, and getting stuff too because people were afraid of the little knackers...

I moved out of London and its a lot more relaxed where I am than in the city ... we had quite a few little kids all done up to be scary calling around, really good vibe and good fun scaring the kids that came to the door ... not a single scrote out making anyones life miserable .... a few fireworks but none after 10pm ....

For the OP, get the hell out of where you are. Almost anywhere would be better, your life is being ruined by those little cnuts, move to save your sanity.
Either that or get some friends out for a game of "human hurling" ... pain is a strong motivator and they may be motivated to go and ruin someone else's life

Live just outside Limerick actually near a certain housing estate which is getting a lot of press coverage lately .

Surprisingly no hassle tonight except for a couple of eggs thrown off windows which I went out and washed off after things quietened down. Didn't need my mates afterall. Didn't give the sh*theads a chase either as that is what they wanted. I saw who they were too (from upstairs), about 4 local lads, and 4 from another estate, none of them the geniune article. They are still around down the end of the road, probably waiting for their mammys to call them in, though from my surveilance in the last hour I saw 2 cars come and pick up about 5 of them. I'll spend the next hour vigilent with the hurley just in case they try it again. Then if I catch them red handed I will chop their legs from under them. I have a jacket which with the hood on and zipped up makes you look like Kenny from Southpark so pretty unrecognisable, especially as the street lights near my house are broken now. Thankfully no real hassle tonight as I said. However that is not to say some real scumbags will bust my car windows in tommorrow for example. It's completely put me on edge and am now getting migraine all the time as a result. Unfrotunately moving is the only real possibility as mobile knacker units out our way are getting all too common during the week.

A friend of mine had to walk past the bottom of Sherrif Street one year a few days before Halloween. She was grabbed by two young lads and had a banger shoved down the back of her jumper. She thankfully got it out before the thing went off but had some pretty bad burns on her back.

Complete scum.

Aisling(",)

right im just in from my night of halloween "festivites".started out grand drinking round bonfire...(sounds sumbagish but no one was causing any hassel).when a few of the older lads got hopped on by a few young well known scumbags and the garda got called...the older lads are now getting into hassel for fighting back when other people only 2 years younger at the most started swingin digs...well dont i just loooove halloween!grr!

I'd just love to play some of my new found sports with the people who commited this act. :mad:

OP: Glad that tonight passed quietly enough for you.

While this may be a bit extreme I agree with the sentiment.
It's crazy that adults should be any way intimidated by teenage scumbags.

Little scummers should be prepared to face the consequences of their actions.
Otherwise they have absolutely no reason for restraint.

Trouble is cops aren't going to be that bothered and I doubt their parents give a $hit.

However unfortunately I'd say that cops WILL find the time in their busy schedule to deal with you if you go near the little fcuks.
Go figure.

What about getting one of those cheap lidl CCTV cameras and catch the little pricks at it.

darkman2

Maybe its just me but im not getting the buzz of Hallowe'en this year. No horror tv and where are all the scumbag's on the Nak? - Not feelin the buzz at all..............unlike recent years.

Dave!

Yeah true, don't think there were many horrors on... although Nightmare on Elm St was on a few days ago. That's all though.

Dave!

Excellent, my sister's car was robbed and burned out last night. Happy Halloween :mad:

galah

heard on the news this morning that some scumbags started throwing rocks and stuff at the firebrigade when they tried to put out fires in Galway city.

Now that makes me angry, really angry. I hope these f*ckers one day need the service, and won't get it, because someone else decides to obstruct the guards/firebrigade/ambulance by throwing stuff at them.

Apart from that it was definitely more quiet than last year...

That sound like the perfect place for the bonfire to be setup as far as the Garda are concerned, and not just becasue it means they can stay in the warm whilst watching for trouble. If its's in a clearly central area where the Garda are known to be nearby then that will mean that the focal point for that area will naturally be much more civilised, possibly. :rolleyes:

Apparently according to the paper, 2 apt blocks in Donaghmede(one in Priory Hall) had to be evacuated due to scummers setting fire to bins and a car.

Now, this happened at 5:30am, what a time to be woken up for an evacuation! :eek:
