Near riot over a Midget horse in Finglas

Richard Hillman · 02-10-2014 07:22PM

I really do not get this whole theory that these teenagers having horses keeps them out of trouble. Lets be honest, if some teenage girl from Foxrock acted like a brat because daddy wouldnt buy her a pony, she would be condemned.

These horse kids in poorer areas and their entitlement parents are just brats.

You know your Irish when the whole neighborhood comes out to watch what's happening.

I'm assuming these people do a lot of travelling, boss?

Yeah I think they're all descendants of that American automotive engineer, born on November 7th 1883. I forgot his name.

That loudmouth one in the white top calling all the Gardai animals should take a long hard look at herself. Behaving like an absolute toe rag she is. If a bloke got in a cops face like that calling them F'n Cnuts and and threatening them he'd be dealt with in a second, and rightly so. Any kids around there will think that's how you are supposed to talk to police. Vicious circle.

Where I come from she would have never gotten away with that as long as she did. Stupid woman.

What utter, utter scumbags the residents of that estate seem to be. Seeing that lady being arrested towards the end made me happy.

Probably kept on council land I'd imagine.

eh who says what land belongs to the council in first place. Did you not hear the girl " we have a stable around the corner,walk around and I show you. Couldn't watch anymore when that **** was pulling out of that poor pony. It so obviously was distressed and him dragging out of its tail. Probably kill it and sell it as meat to France. Very upset watching that. Those girls obviously take good care of their animals. She offered to put the horse in for them and they wouldn't let her. Disgusted by garda actions. They were very disrespectful of situation. That man who dragged out of the horse like it was a slab of meat on a hook should be sacked. What the hell were so many Garda doing there for. Only people shouting and roaring was the owners (rightly so) Gardai should be doing their real job arresting criminals and not evicting old people and taking peoples pets off them when not abused. Seriously annoyed by that footage. Fuming now.

Don't worry, you can get a new horse for, like, €50.

I can see that going well. I am sure that as soon as she had a hold of the horse she would do as she promised and not run off with it. That definitely wouldn't happen.

You don't get it do you? That girl was obviously very upset and they handled situation completely wrong. That horse you could tell is obviously loved by that family. If you cant find empathy your problem.

What that video really highlights is the frightening spread of VVS (Vertical Video Syndrome). Worse than Ebola it is.

I was against it too, until I realised I watch 90% of videos on my phone. Vertical Portrait Video means I don't have to rotate my phone.

So people who own a horse just because not loaded and fight and stand up for themselves are criminals. OK good luck enjoy bending over.

Yeah, she was clearly upset by the way she was braying insults and threats at an actual human.

Her love for her horse overrides any laws she might be breaking.

I'm the one in the wrong here.

If they actually loved horses, they wouldn't have gotten one without the proper facilities to take care of one.

She offered to put him in because that guy was mistreating it. If she ran off with the horse then she could be told no. Again handled completely inappropriately by garda.

Also, I dont see how horses in housing estates keep people out of prison. That's a major cop out.

Really? You genuinely don't see that?

It seems obvious that giving young lads an adrenalin rush that doesn't involve criminal behaviour could help prevent criminal behaviour.

It seems obvious that a productive pastime can keep young lads off the streets and out of trouble.

Nobody supports serious animal neglect, or horses roaming the roads. But a housing estate is not a bad place for horses per se. As I said, people with no experience of horses often misunderstand the needs of horses.

Bending over because I don't like animal cruelty?

Her da has a bad heart she says.... Not a thing wrong with him jumping in the back of a horsebox though!

Neither is a privately owned field with no access to shelter, water or regular food. Yet that's where 95% of neglected / starving horses are rescued from.

Pity the gardai don't put as much effort into prosecuting the people that mistreat and abandon those animals.

At least the ones in this case appeared to be well cared for.. regardless of where they were being kept.

Did you miss the part when she said they have stables around the corner? Don't need to be loaded and own acres of land to love a horse and to be able to take care of it.

Sure why don't be sort them all out with Porsches, the poor buggers, needing their adrenaline rushes. OR, they could join a football team, volunteer, do a bit of study, play videogames, you know, like normal children who aren't being dragged up.

Abusing horses is NOT a productive pastime.

Are you having a laugh????

I've watched that video through and I cant believe it.

The people in that video are a complete disgrace.

The father, the daughter, all of them should be completely ashamed of themselves. There were a lot of small children around in their school unforms and yet their language was unreal.

It galls me that I work my backside off for my taxes to go to people like this.

Why were they not in work instead of shouting abuse at the Gardai?

It isn't societies job to ignore people acting like garbage so that they won't act like worse garbage.
