Little scumbags causing havoc in Sutton/Howth

    Given the great weather recently i agreed to bring a relative from down the country to Howth for the day yesterday and to have a nice peaceful day enjoying the sun and the cliff walks.

    So we set out on the DART from Dun Laoghaire and once we reached Connolly, droves of 15/16 year olds started cramming onto the train. We just presumed they were all just heading for a normal day on the beach... Turns out we were wrong. A lot of them hopped off at Sutton station and just before arriving at Howth the DART was stopped and boarded by the gardai who went along searching the kids for alcohol. Same situation at Howth Dart station.

    So anyway once we got to Howth we realised there were hundreds of these kids in their luminous clothes and shaved heads descending on Howth for the day. Once we walked up towards the cliff walks we left them all behind and had a really nice day walking to the top. There were loads of sightseeing tourists around which was a nicer atmosphere to say the least.

    At around 8pm we made our way back to the DART station and thats when things got really bad. Apparently the pier had been shut off and the scumbags were all making their way towards the dart station. Gardai were everywhere and we managed to get onto the dart platform. Then these scumbags started pouring over the railings and running along the tracks into the station shouting their chants about whereever they were from (mainly Ballymun). It was then we just said **** it it's not worth it getting the dart. When the Dart pulled in they all crammed on (15 minutes before it was due to leave) and started banging the windows and floor of the dart and scrapping amongst themselves. A lot of them out of their minds on drink/drugs. The worst thing was, there was a lot of elderly people who wernt able to get off the dart cos of these scumbags piling on. Fights were breaking out and then the gards all came onto the platform.

    We waited until the gards were there before walking back into the station and out onto the road. Ambulances were arriving and fights were breaking out. In the end we had to get a taxi into town from howth to get away from all the commotion.

    Given that Howth is usually such a calm and peaceful area and there were so many tourists/old people around it really just made me feel sick to see it.

    I have to say tho the gardai were doing a good enough job.

    Was anyone else unfortunate enough to be there for this?

    The part that kinda scares me the most is that there will be more of these cnuts around than decent people. Cause all the decent people who dont have any work have had to emigrate csuse they can't get work but these scrotes just sit round and drink all day and harass prople.

    It sickening to think that these are our future

    You must be the only person in Dublin on the web that didn't know this was happening yesterday - was posted on facebook and commented upon everywhere else.

    This weather brings out the scumbags, they ruin everything.

    On the plus side, I brought my little dog for a walk and a dip in the river near my house. There was 4 girls about 17 or 18 I'd say skinny dipping and I mean skinny dipping, there wasn't a stitch on any of them.

    I love the sun...

    I used to share the opinion of the OP until I hung out with people that friends with these type of people. I didnt make friends with any of them. Put you will find out the 98% of them are grand. 2% were ***** but that's the same regardless of class.

    You mentioned no issues with them personally with them telling you to **** off or anything. Your only issue was their appearance and accent. They just wanted a good day like you. Maybe acknowledge that "scumbags" can enjoy themselves now and again

    No, the issue is underage drinking, drugs, vandalism of the train, terrorising of the elderly & wasting garda time

    Any evidence of drug use? I'd say drink is 99.9% to blame. Unless we're in celtic tiger mark II territory and they're all running around on cocaine? You're not going to try tell us they did it because they were stoned, are you?

    And I agree with the poster above - most people are fine. Just not altogether and drunk out of their minds.

    This is the real legacy of the disastrous Celtic Tiger days, all of these particular youngsters have grown up in a world where money, celebrity and greed was the common backdrop. That backdrop has created a sub-section of young people who have no sense of manners, community, decency or empathy.

    Add in the factor that now the money has gone, the new social currency or goal for this group is appearing rough tough and violent 24/7, it is the only currency left that they have been psychologically programmed to attain since they have been born.

    I guess you missed the bit about the guards having to get involved?
    Or is that okay with you as well?

    It's nothing to do with the Celtic Tiger, more bad parenting and a bad environment to have grown up in. The environment being a rough areas of the inner city.

    Or the bit about normal civilised people being scared or having their peace disturbed.

    Well, in my particular area, the majority of these young people causing trouble come from families and places who were not what some would call 'working class' or the stereotypical 'scumbag' types with bad environments, they are the children of those who falsely believed they were living the high life of the boom times, believed they could have anything they wanted and created a mindset of greed.

    How are so many of you only realising now that teenagers can be annoying?

    So anyway once we got to Howth we realised there were hundreds of these kids in their luminous clothes and shaved heads descending on Howth for the day. Once we walked up towards the cliff walks we left them all behind and had a really nice day walking to the top. There were loads of sightseeing tourists around which was a nicer atmosphere to say the least.

    What's the relevance of this?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,302 ✭✭✭**Vai**


    Its descriptive, makes for a more interesting read.

    Or he confused them with the guards.
