    Could you imagine if a gang of Irish lads carried out a similar wave of violence in Lagos. I'd say the families wouldn't even have bodies to bury, after Nigerian justice was finished with them.

    And the asylum seekers are claiming to be escaping from the worse parts of it, with their lives in danger. So they're either lying (see Pamela whatsherface thread) or we're allowing psychologically damaged individuals bought up in a culture of violence in.

    This is Ireland.
    People are hired by who they know as much as what they know.
    Or do you believe that writing a few lines into legislation makes social problems disappear ?

    They do have the same rights. I'm not referring to someone who has grown up in Ireland. I am referring to someone who has recently come to Ireland and has spat in the face of their hosts. I guess I should have stated resident, rather than citizen.

    If someone has spent the majority of their life in Ireland, then I would view them as a naturalised citizen - and should be treated the same as anyone else. If someone has recently come to Ireland, and has gone to the lengths of joining a gang who's goal is to assault the local population - then they should be deported.

    It's believed it was a racially motivated attack, but why is that I wonder? The fact that the victims are white doesn't necessarily mean that. To me it seems it was simply due to the attackers being thugs looking to vent. I remember an assault on a black woman in Cork which was deemed a racist attack, but going by the details, it seems like she would have been attacked if she were white too - it was a case of vicious thugs, wrong place, wrong time.

    In all seriousness, if you are an immigrant to this country, or are here on 'humanitarian grounds' or awaiting a refugee appeal decision, and were a violent criminal - I would have no problem with that.

    Regardless of colour, religion, height, sexual preference .. anything.

    Likewise Irish who emigrate to Australia or the USA should be deported if they turn to violent crime. I'd perfectly understand and accept that also.

    I was mugged by an Irish guy, should I hate the Irish?

    you try and justify your hatred of black people all you like, mate, though perhaps you'd rather go and post on Stormfront? they like your type better there.

    I don't think it was a racist attack either. Walk around Temple Bar at night, the vast, vast majority of people are White. I don't think these lads were walking around looking to kick the heads off solely white people, I think they were just walking around looking for a fight with anyone they saw, and considering the vast majority of people they'll see are white, they ended up only attacking white people. I don't consider it racism, I just think it's down to the fact that the majority of people in Temple Bar would be white.

    Doesn't change anything though, they should still be sentenced as strongly as possible, just sensationalist reporting from tabloid rags as usual.

    But we don't know if they aren't "naturalized" citizens. Of my 4 "black friends", all 4 of them were born and raised here, I'll assume they're roughly the same age of the gang in this article so there's a chance it could be the same, therefore making them Irish citizens. If this is the case, legally speaking they're as Irish as you and me. Now if this isn't the case and they are immigrants, they should be deported to wherever they came from without any hesitation.

    Imagine it was Irish lads targetting blacks...they wouldnt have bodies to bury by the time the irish "anti racist" fringe were through with them.


    Although as far as the Irish liberal lefty media are concerned(alll of them white),its only racism if it happens to somebody non-irish..everything else is in some way justifiable.

    I remember hearing about this story last year..everybody knew it was racist blacks but NOT one mention of thier colour in the media...pathetic.

    It makes you wonder about the sanity of some people.

    So... is it racist if someone beats up the Blue Man Group?

    The solution there then would have to be to create two tier citizenship, one tier for those born in Ireland and a separate citizenship of lesser value and constitutional significance for 'naturalised' Irish citizens. This would require a significant re-write of the constitution from the top down. I don't necessarily disagree with your sentiment but that is the reality.

    Probably treat it as manslaughter at best here.
    The victim wasn't killed. It would be straight assault here.

    I'm sure as fcuk not a lefty but I'd like to see some evidence of this being a racist attack. The same as how most attacks on black people here aren't racist, just wrong place/wrong time. Even in hypothetical cases where say some white lads shout "******" as they're doing it they're most likely still the type who would "target" someone for having long hair or for wearing the wrong clothes.

    Maybe, there are a lot of assualts around that area. You can be minding your own business and get attacked by some randomer.

    But it was the thugs themselves that brought race into it when questioned by the gardaí
    "When the suspects were first questioned they tried to use racism as a defence -- they tried to say that they had been racially abused by the victims for being black.

    Indeed the lack of a body could prove troublesome! :o

    Attempted murder should be the charge but it probably wont.

    Africa isn't one country. Lazily mentioning that they are African, really points a finger at the entire African community in Ireland. If they are native to a specific country in Africa, why not identify them as such? Let's say that the orgy was committed by a group of Indonesians, would the article say a group of Asians? How about if they were Serbian, would the article say a group of Europeans? Or, what if they were Brazilian, would the article say a group of South Americans?

    How do you know they're all from the same country?
    If there was a Brazilian, an Argentinian, a Bolivian and a couple of Paraguayans they'd say a group of South Americans. Can't see what'd be racist about that.

    Nobody said anything about 'black'. Their colour is irrelevant. They could be white Germans for all I care - but if they abuse the generosity of their hosts - then I'd be only too happy to deport them. If they grew up in Ireland and have become naturalised - that's a completely different story.

    This country is a sham tbh, ever seen how few murder convictions there are? Then because of that it's hard to prosecute what is a genuine manslaughter case since manslaughter covers what should be murder which trickles down to everything including attempted murder and assaults.

    EDIT: There's another great one the yanks have, not sure how many states have it though but it's "Assault by pointing." :pac:

    I cant understand why people are getting up on there high horses everytime someone mentions deporting them, of coarse they should be deported if there not Irish citizens it not racist I couldnt care if they were Polish, German, Nigerian, Brazillian whatever if they commit a crime over they should serve time in an Irish prison and then be deported or be deported to serve time in a prison in there own country.


    This is not a new concept, nor is it racist look at how many criminals have been deported from America back to South America. No lets all be liberal yeh let these non citizens serve time here then be released still the violent criminals they were back into our society, Sure the poor chaps had it hard or dont like it in there home country cant send them back there the poor lads :rolleyes:.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,077 ✭✭✭Tipsy McSwagger


    It's very simple really, they committed a serious crime so they should be deported. I don't see any alternative. It's about time this country stopped being a soft touch for non-nationals to take advantage of.
