Boy with a Knife in Broad Daylight??

Aspiration · 2008-06-26 10:25:16

I work in the IFSC, and went for a cigarette with a colleague down the basement. Chatting away and next thing a boy about my age (21) just walked past us towards Amiens Street with a kitchen knife in his hand and a look of terror in his eyes! :eek: My colleague started shaking and I asked should we call the Gardai.

Senior officers fear retaliatory strikes in the inner city after the murder of a key associate of one of the gang leaders at the weekend.

It was probably a bread knife.
I heard the cops have had a batch of such reported incidents recently. It seems to be raising the profile of those desperate on the breadline
He was probably on the way to rob a bakers coz he kneeded the dough...
