Any cctv that could be used for gardai?

Kermit.de.frog · 17-03-2019 6:30am

This would be considered tame for the red line OP. Heard of far worse.

Unfortunately the country has no police force or justice system so you take your chances.

Parenting again. No doubt they thought they were at the library studying. Fear not, this lot will be breeding another load shortly.

The type of people who attacked you would use 'me' instead of 'I' in constructing that sentence.

You should have knocked one of the cùnts out.

17-03-2019 9:14am

Got attacked in Eyre Square by a bunch of teenage girls slapping me around the head. A big group of big lads waiting next to a tree for me to react so they could beat the crap out of me.

It must be weird going through life knowing you're scum and having no respect for yourself.

I would expect behaviour like this from jackeens but that it happens in Galway too isn't on.

DellyBelly · 17-03-2019 10:07am

And its going to get worse. There is a clamour to build more social/council estates to house these people. And in decent areas as well...well they won't remain decent for long if a load of council estate types enter the area

Could've been on a day trip. Too many buses and trains out of Dublin for my liking.

The LUAS Red Line is a fantastic place for scumbags. They never ever pay, the thought wouldn't even cross their scummy little minds. Free on. Into town. Act the cu*t in there for the day hassling people and then back home for free. Meanwhile the people getting the abuse are paying on in and out of town after working a hard day's graft. It's a haven for scrotes. It also handily passes the 4 Courts too for them. Animals

Pkiernan · 17-03-2019 10:14am

Failed hard left policy of free money for life for welfare parasites is the root cause.

However, I don't understand why you wouldn't defend yourself physically.

uck51js9zml2yt · 17-03-2019 10:16am

Been travelling on the Luas since it opened on both lines. Never had any problems.

JohnnyFlash · 17-03-2019 10:17am

The inter-generational welfare trap. Just another round of unloved and uneducated children reaching their teenage years and becoming what they’ve always been predestined to become - ugly scumbags with a chip on the shoulder.

The problem for the more polite sections of society is the scumbag tends to breed like rabbits, while the dumb fûcks who go to work and pay tax aren’t having enough kids. So the old welfare system is starting to burst slightly at the seams.

It’s all going to end in tears.

I hope you don't mind me asking but what kind of racist abuse did they use?

Pinch Flat · 17-03-2019 10:28am

Sorry to hear Op unfortunately the red line is a magnet for nack bags. Other than a carefully targeted programme of eugenics, probably not going to change any time soon

Kind of a crass and mean spirited way to describe it, but other than that nothing wrong with what you are saying. You have a point.

They’ll never know or be conscious that they are scum though!

It’s like the old analogy about being stupid. It’s only difficult for other people, and not the stupid people themselves.

Yeh every major public transport initiative seems to cater for the scumier areas while the piblic transport to the working outer suburbs is cack. All future trams should be built to areas where the buses are all packed at 7am, not to areas where the buses only get busy after 11am

Tell me how · 17-03-2019 10:42am

Isn't the LUAS Red line suggested as being the main mode of transport for many who will be going to the new children's hospital?

You want a sterile version, retreat behind four walls. These vermin are multiplying at an alarming rate. Three generations under one roof that never worked a tap, incentivised by daddy government.

Brilliant. The kids will be robbing you on their way into seeing their specialist psychologist(they are not bad, they are "sick").

Maybe that will incentivise the country to finally introduce a dedicated transport police, that would soon take the wind out of a few sails of the fare Dodgers and scummers.

I've a good bit of experience with using public transport in Australia, and the transport police there are efficient and professional - they're the probable sole reason that public transport over there is on the whole an absolute pleasure to use.

Shocking stuff but at least you had the street smarts to know what was happening.
I know of someone who was walking along a busy street on a Saturday night, passed a mixed group of young adults and got talking to one of the girls that was walking alongside him - not chatting her up, just being friendly- when suddenly one of the guys punched him to the side of the head and knocked him to the pavement and then just walked on.

Sad to have to say it for the day that's in it but given the amount of all day drinking today this evening will probably be particularly dangerous for street violence. Hope that Tourism Ireland makes our overseas visitors aware of that.

New transport police will be useless unless the revolvinng door/concurrent sentencing court system is sorted out

Could you sue Transdev for failing to provide a safe environment for travelling in?

I worked in city west for a while so used it as my main transport in and out of town for meetings. Most days in and out without incident but the few stuck out.

Shortly after starting, had a nack bag challenge me for my phone one morning. “That’s a nice phone and it’s mine bud”. Saw an Asian student surrounded and attacked for no reason by a gang of feral nacks. Security at heuston not interested.

Another afternoon I was at bluebell when about about 6 lads got on - covered their faces and helped themselves to whatever was available mostly from female passengers - mobile phones, hand bags. Off at the next stop as if nothing happened. Snatching mobiles was quite common.

Lots of ugly incidents with nacks and junkies in the city centre, intimidation and harassment of passengers. Saw a female and male Junky knock lumps out of each other. Open drug dealing at Rialto was common.

Two nacks in front of me got off another morning at kings wood - helped themselves to a bike that from some random guy at the stop.

Like any mass public transport system it has its issues, but certainly the lack of policing and general air of menace by a few nacks can make it a decidedly unpleasant experience.

They do their best. They have roving security men that look like a SWAT team.
The difference between them and a real SWAT team is they are unarmed and they aren't allowed to hurt anyone.
They can only ask the scumbags to leave the tram. Scumbags will usually then get off, and get onto the next one instead.

Job done.

the few times I've been on the red line the biggest take away was how gigantic the security guards were, their heads would almost be touching the ceiling, they grow em big in eastern europe that's for sure. commuted on the green line for nearly 2 years and cant remember much security, they probably need it now it extends out to broombridge.

Elessar · 17-03-2019 12:21pm

OP you should be ashamed of yourself.

These disadvantaged youth needed a mobile phone to barter for the latest adidas fashion so they can better integrate into society. And you had the cheek to say no?! And then complain about it?! How dare you.

As a well mannered tax paying citizen this is YOUR fault and you should immediately apologise and hand over your phone. I have a right mind to inform the Gardai of your outrageous carry on in this incident. These youths deserve better than not being allowed to harass and violently attack people with no consequences whatsoever.

Still waters · 17-03-2019 12:25pm

When I read these types of threads which pop up regularly on boards it makes me happy to be living in the hills of Clare with the few cows and no knackers, junkies or scumbags. There's a load of dubs living around here and all have the same story of not wanting their kids growing up in Dublin and not have their kids mixing with the dregs of society, and reading the threads on boards lately its easy to see why quite country living is appealing to them

I wasn't even joking before though, aren't burglaries endemic now in large parts of the country? As bad as Dublin is once your outside the pale it's essentially Mad Max territory.

Try traveling from the Red Cow to 3 Arena on a Friday evening! Talk of an eye opener! A violent fight broke out between 2 inebriated females. They then got stuck into their male companions for not standing up for them. The males continued drinking. One of the females dragged the other off the tram by the hair when it stopped next. Their male companions stayed put!

We got a taxi back to Red Cow after the concert.
