Scumbags!!

Actually in general terms Dublin today is BETTER than 10 years ago. However, relative to other 1st world cities the level of aggression on Dublin's streets and behaviour of many of its inhabitants is appalling. (patiently waiting in line in a spar while some complete "scumbag" walks in to the top of the queue and shouts "20 johnny blues" comes to mind. - honestly, where else do you get that???)

Italians don't believe in queues at all, they just barge in no matter who appears first in line.
People being killed on the streets for mobile phones, a few quid or for no reason at all.

A common occurrence?

Glenbhoy, get your facts straight before you start quoting me! I did not use the phrase "common occurence. I simply said to the other poster it's no good pretending these horrible incidents don't happen. There is violent acts being commited every single day on Dublin streets. And yes there have been several horrifc murders that have occured over mobile phones and petty sums of cash etc.

Fair enough, but looking at the quote below it's easy to understand why I presumed you were inferring such events were common occurrences.

I'll see your 40 years of safety and raise you

* One smashed windscreen.
* One smashed drivers window
* One Keyed drivers door
(all separate incidents)

Or we can go to crimes that I have first hand knowledge of
* One broken nose in broad daylight on Georges St.
* One Baseball bat to the back of the head at 5pm.
* One car jacking.
(all separate incidents with different victims)

2 Broken car windows
Robbed once at syringe-point
Attacked by a homeless guy in while with my gf - garda nearby did nothing because he was buying a sandwich

Worked in a busy a/e unit where we got at least one young guy every night who got drunk, got separated from his mates and got hopped in central dublin - it seems like it was almost a sport. That said, it's not peculiar to Dublin - used to see the same outside Henry's in Cork the whole time (before they tore it down)

It's called using an example of the violent incidents happening on city streets. Obviously you never pick up a newspaper.
