    Don't be too harsh on the Gardai.

    The judges are at fault too with ridiculous suspended sentences. Why should the Guards even bother?. The little scrotes will be out laughing in their faces after a few weeks because his mammy gave the judge a letter saying he's a good boy with a bright future. That must be so demoralizing for the arresting officers - detectives.


    Something could also be said for the folk importing drugs and guns into the country and handing them out to youngfellas like it's Christmas.

    The Gardai's remit is tax and insurance checkpoints, they are for all intents and purposes a traffic corps now. I'd say there's a lot of rank and file that would love to go out and bust heads and bring these guys down, but the bulk of the force is out checking discs.


    If that were true we'd have better drivers on our roads.

    I've no sympathy for anyone involved in that crap, they're asking for it.

    It's only the family that I feel bad for

    No now, he more than likely had to deal with the following:
    • substance abuse issues
    • difficult home life
    • learning difficulties (left school at 15)
    • comes from an disadvantaged background
    • struggling with the loss of (friend or family member)
    • having "a tough time of it" himself


    just one of these is enough to turn any law abiding person into a psychotically violent drug dealer, think of his poor mammy who probably drives around in a 30-40k 191 car

    Like what? Rehabilitation? Can you prove a jurisdiction or country where that is working please? It won't work here. Not our culture. Don't bother quoting Scandinavia countries as they have a far more harmonized population.


    I was responding to someone who was saying the fault is with the law enforcement in the country by saying that the people committing the crimes are also at fault.

    Mod- Next person that mentions or uses initials is getting a thread ban or worse. No further warnings. Thread locked for 10 minutes so people can see and heed this.

    It’s somewhat interesting how these shootings seem to be a cyclical problem.

    Is it largely drug related, correct?

    Steve walks warily down the street
    With the brim pulled way down low
    Ain't no sound but the sound of his feet,
    Machine guns ready to go
