Things that make you go What the F**k?

[square_ball]

Seems to have calmed down now after the lads got a few pair a few pairs of Nikes from Footlocker and jumpers from Arnotts.

[Eire90]

irish army just put out a message saying images showing military vehicles in dublin were not from tonight but from an operation in the past.

[whitey]

That's the worst thing they could do

They're outnumbered 50:1

They need to deescalate before it becomes 500:1

Nah, send in the Army and fuk them up properly.

Ye could almost see the Rangers salivating from here at the chance of laying fists on some of these scrotes.

That's probably unconstitutional

[Eire90]

It's a serious issue...let's take it out on Footlocker.

Sc#@bags who haven't worked a day in their life.  Putting people out of work on Friday morning.

Wasters.

one of the guys whos who stormed the derry city council last night has not work a day in his life but nothing will be said about that

Parts of Derry with a higher percentage of people on the Derry Living Allowance than there is working

[Rossfan]

Like the infamous Willie Fraser intended march every sc**bag for miles around joined in to wreck and loot.

Once more the Fascist extremists showing us what they are.

Hope the poor child and woman seriously injured can recover and the rest of the children can get over the trauma.

[Sportacus]

This is where the undue influence of lawyers leads to.

In an environment where anyone and everyone is open to legal action for the square root of fuk all - then the guards are afraid to do anything.

Proper order would be to baton charge the hoors and break at least one arm or leg on every one of them. Then not bother to provide hospital treatment. Let the c**ts learn to appreciate what actually happens if they were rejected by society.

The riot police will get one shot at this tonight and they need to hit them really hard so they think twice next time. Running around on their stolen bikes.  Dirt.

That's the worst thing they could do

What exactly would you do to deescalate? 

[thewobbler]

I don't honestly think this is facism or extremism at play.

There's the bored youths pushing the boundaries. There's a pitchfork wielding mob that have neither the brains nor the interest to consider why they swing their pitchforks; it's just what they do. There's the vile, opportunistic scum making hay from the madness.

But the underlying current that has swollen and caused this, I genuinely believed, is fuelled by a housing crisis that has become a time bomb. The working classes and middle classes are getting financially obliterated in Dublin, as a direct cost of rent and housing. And that means it is not the right time for government to be taking in tens of thousands of refugees.

The scumbags doing their Xmas shopping in Arnotts and footlocker while rioting.

100%. It's just scumbags being scumbags.

[Tony Baloney]

Seems to be a thoroughly pathetic response from the authorities. Those wee scooter should be kettled by riot police and the shite beat out of them.

[Captain Obvious]

The scumbags doing their Xmas shopping in Arnotts and footlocker while rioting.

And a few chaps getting a belly full of ice cream in McDonalds

[Milltown Row2]

For a country with fairly high average wage in comparison to the likes of the uk it's a bit strange that they'd be out rioting and complaining about things.. Seafoid will be outraged

Refugees have a limited effect on the housing market. Immigration by well paid people in Intel or Google may well have more effect as these people can afford the rent. However, this group are paying their way and are paying for the scumbags who are looting Dublin tonight.

Whether refugees have a limited effect on the housing market is irrelevant.

What is relevant is that there's a rising tide of Irish people whose only opportunity to continue living where they're from, is to hand over the vast majority of their income to landlords (or, if they're lucky, to a bank). The government has taken almost no steps to prevent this happening.

But at the same time, the government is housing, feeding and paying people to come into the country, not to work.

As a policy it doesn't run along parallel lines with the housing crisis. But it does present any Irish person who is enduring financial struggles and concerns about their future, with a pretty rational reason to distrust their government, and the longer it continues, too begin hating their government. When a sizeable group of people of this mindset are found in the same area, plenty of them will be bored, plenty of them will be pitchfork wielders by nature and plenty of them will be vile scum. Meaning that peaceful protests will only go one way. It's a tinderbox just waiting for a spark. 

Pinning what has happened here on the far right, or on racism or extremism, well I think that's a cop out, and one that leans too heavily on the polarised culture of across the Atlantic. There's a closer-to-home problem running through Dublin today.
