Question for the forum: Should body searches/pat downs by security at doors become a basic requirement for some places?

Is any of them black?

If not, I doubt anyone other than their families will care tbh.

The 17 year old with probably just get a slap on the wrist and be told he's a naughty boy.

They'll probably let him off and blame his fathers drink problem for HIS actions.

pub should be heavyly fined for serving him drink in the first place and yea i think body searchers should be introduced they have them in certain places in dublin and galway so why not elsewhere.

Well done, you've successfully managed to post the two dumbest, dullest clichés in quick succession.

Good to see the bar is still at it's traditional low.

Fairly sure he wasn't in the pub the original group of lads that got attacked were in. Whether he just came out of another pub or just a scumbag wandering along, I dunno.

Best wishes to all the guys in hospital.

Possession of a knive should be a serious offence, one with a serious consequence. Like Prison.

Because that type of security is a load of bollocks?

Something bad might happen when you go outside. Deal with it.

How did he even get into the pub?Are there no Bouncers in Drogheda or are the licensing laws different there to the rest of the country?

Yes, Drogheda is the only town in the country that allows in 17 year olds.

(Does anyone think the above is really true!)

Hank_Jones · 10-04-2010 12:36PM

I know this is a bit of a selfish thing to say,
but I hope I don't know any of them.

Hope everything turns out ok for them.

Knives are becoming far too common place now.
Think we might be developing the same sort of knife culture they have in England.

10-04-2010 12:37PM

What a wanker.

My name is URL · 10-04-2010 12:37PM

Drogheda has become a shithole for nights out.. haven't been out there in a year

Best of look to those who were injured

cafecolour · 10-04-2010 12:38PM

7? Really? It seems like it was a big group he attacked, so you'd think he could've been stopped by the time he'd stabbed 2 or 3 people.

dlofnep · 10-04-2010 12:40PM

Little prick.

they were probably a harmless group of lads thats why he prob attacked them.

Bigdeadlydave · 10-04-2010 12:45PM

Sure just a week or so ago a woman was stabbed in the face in Drogheda. Now Im really glad I didnt go out last night! Maybe its just me but whenever I go out in Drogheda there is always a really angry vibe, but I guess the same can be said for every town these days.

Scum like him should be named and shamed, even though he is 17.

potsy86 · 10-04-2010 12:46PM

thats madness and he will prob get a slap on the wrist been under 18 prob suspended sentence small fine an of ya go had some bad experiences up there in drogheda on nights out will never go near the place again didn feel safe at all round them parts

So then you end up with a bunch of morons that have the raging arse cos they have been told to fcuk off, wandering the streets, with a knife, looking for someone to take it out on.....

Why? He was't inside a premises he was on the street. He could have done the same had he never gone into the bar and been patted down.

Why was a 17yo allowed into a bar anyway. Was he served drink?

Do we really want to give the knuckle draggers* on the doors more power than they already have?

*Not all but many are.

Bigdeadlydave · 10-04-2010 12:58PM

In fairness I dont want some bloke feeling me up whenever I go into a bar/club whatever. That would just lead to fights, could you imagine? A loada half sloshed people trying to get in to a club, having to get patted down first? It wouldn't work.

It will be getting worse and worse, as long as the ordinary people will allow this to happen. I've lost my faith in governments of any kind, from what I see they strive to make Europe full of chaos and lawlessness. "Good" doesn't mean good anymore, "bad" isn't bad nowadays. We have to, we should, we are expected. We have to be enlightened and modern EU citizens in XXI century. We should be showing understanding, be against death penalty and help poor children in Africa.

Im sick of this sh1t.

D'OH! good point

I'm going back to bed, obviously haven't engaged brain properly today.

(although I woudn't put it past the mindset of some of these types to go and get another one to prove a point)

Hank_Jones · 10-04-2010 01:08PM

Just heard on the radio that the group involved were aged between 16 and 30.

One 16 year old has been transferred to the Mater in Dublin and is in critical condition.

Scumbag.
