Time to move on? PSNI involved in Road Safety Campaign shocker

[HiMucker]

To poll people from nice sub urban areas who are largely unaffected by anti social behaviour would tell you nothing.  Watched the Nolan show last week.  Thought he consistenlty overlooked the main point of why it happens and why do decent people support it.  FFS at the weekend in derry some mother drove her son up for his "appointment".  Saying, and I quote "i know its wrong but hopefully he will get help now"
I would have my doubts about the motives of those who carry out these attacks and whether they are actually doing it for the greater good of their community or is it just to protect their own rackets.  I suspect the latter.  However most people who get tortured by wee hoods dont really give a toss when one them gets knee capped or when a drug dealer or sex offender gets shot.  Nolan constantly banged on about the cops poor confiction rate of 3% on these incidents of punishmnet beatings and shootings.  But in fairness to the cops there isnt exactly wealth of invidence to go on.  Generally zero relation between victim and perpetrator and zero witnesses (well anyone who will say anything other than "it was two masked men").  IMO more blame lie at the courts than the cops.  Sentencing is a joke.

Just goes to show...people will watch anything. If there's a more sensationalist mouthpiece/slabber anywhere on this earth than the self-proclaimed champion of the people that is Stephen Nolan, I've yet to come across him/her.

Dont judge me!   I was just interested to see how he would react when it didnt go his way.  He was expecting majority condemnation but it was never going to be forthcoming.

And a solid back hand played up the line by Thatcher  can Tickle manage a return or will it be an unforced error!

Yet again I will say I did not say anything of the sort

Yes you did. You said you have a problem with normalisation.  What's that supposed to mean other than you don't want the place operating like a normal civilised society?

Your proposal for a vigilante system in place of policing is pie in the sky.

So you dont support an armed republican conflict though you think the republicans should police themself.

The only policing I have ever seen Republicans do was punishment beatings and shootings.

Do people here really want to drag the country back 25 years.

If the PSNI prevent some of our younger patrons from losing there life on the road then everyone should be supporting this

Stephen Nolan has a new show on BBC some night during the week - think its Tuesdays or Wednesdays. Last week they had a text poll with the question along the lines of "Do you support punishment beatings?" - if I remember correctly 57% voted Yes.

How likely is it that Nolan's audience reflects the general population?

I don't think I suggested they did.

The fact that 57% of any sample of 6000 support punishment beatings is hard to believe - no matter who they watch on TV

How likely is it that a proportion of those people were taking the piss?

I think I may be in agreement with Nally. I'm going to have to have a lie down.

I have no idea what type of person voted but I'd be surprised if anything other than a small minority voted to take the piss.

If I had to have a guess I'd say the type of person to vote would be people with strong opinions on the matter. That's only opinion though and I have nothing to back it up
