    Some snaps and vids about of a massive incident at an event in the Row Cow Morans hotel .
    Dozens of garda cars and the garda helicopter in attendance.

    Yet, no mention of it on any MSM news reports (nationally anyway) !?

    This report, and the footage of the brawls in Dublin city centre over the previous few nights is not good.

    It's just another night that way. There's incidents quite regularly outside the nightclub.

    Is this the incident referred to?
    Certainly a lot of AGS present.
    I'm sure they would be needed elsewhere rather than trying to sort this out.

    The nightclub in the red cow (under whatever name it's going by at the time) is well known as a kip and has **** like this going back the 20 years since I've been old enough to drink. The blue banana in the village was similar

    If the papers wrote a story about every big kick off in a nightclub , they could have a dedicated paper.

    Absolutely. The Blue Banana was even worse, we were afraid to go there.

    It won’t be in the news cause they don’t want to be seen as racists by reporting it. Shocking scenes.

    A strange modern reaction to any sort of incident.
    I must say the last thing I would do in a situation like that is to take out a €500 phone and start videoing.
    In the middle of something like that you need eyes in the back of your head and to get away ASAP.

    Well , they are black.
    Theres 20 garda cars there, and a helicopter !
    Do they attend every fight at every nightclub?

    Maybe the Guards are racist too then …… ?! :rolleyes:
    Or due to the amount of these mass brawls going on , they decide that it time (about time) they start kicking heads !

    Perhaps.

    That does not mean we, as a society, should shrug our shoulders and say "they happen to be of African extraction, so what?".

    This does not bode well for integration and what you are seeing in Ireland is the embryonic beginning of the trouble in other western European countries some of which have been dealing with for decades involving social disorder and rioting in minority communities.

    That is something we need to be concerned about and burying our heads in the sand is not the answer.

    I don't like seeing this like most.

    Most troubling from my perspective is whether the gardai and the justice system are properly equipped to deal with it. I'm sure i'm not the only one with concerns in that regard.

    Same carry on that has really escalated in other European capital cities of late.

    Ghettos and no go areas, burning cars, attacking innocent citizens.
    Its not a coincidence.

    Indeed. It's a well known fact that there was never a fight in a nightclub in Ireland before de fordiners.

    True, we had enough of our own problems without importing more.

    African Gangs and Travellers openly rioting and causing havoc is becoming common place. Multiple incidents in Dublin lately.

    If anyone has an issue with the wording of my post they can fook right off. I don't want to see this city at the rate of decline it seems to be heading in.

    20 garda cars and the helicopter for a simple pub fight.. you can show some video evidence of something of a similar magnitude?

    Just how many of these breakouts happened around the city with the heralding of a new year alone. Where are we going with this?

    Place always was and will always be a shíthole, no matter what name it's going by!

    It has nothing to do with "diversity" it's just an arsehole magnet due it's location.

    It's completely normal, aggression and fighting is part of their lives.

    Young people need to learn the ancient art of self preservation.

    ie. when trouble starts exit stage left.

    We have armed Garda support in Longford now. And it ain’t for the ‘Foreigner’ population. I’m sure there’s plenty of video evidence of that too.
