You can also smell them, and spiderman can feel them with his spider sense

Soo.. Do you know where the outdoor porn is? Just asking for a friend!

Moved on where? I’m sure wherever they’re moved on to people will want them moved elsewhere again

they should be moved away from the epicenter of Dublin city. that there is a clinic right smack bang in Temple Bar is….. pretty amazing. typical. all those kinds of words. there should be no junkie clinics in any central/touristy spots. its just good manners.

Ya that’s a great approach to our capitals drug problem, good manners. Where do you suggest we move the problem? Any vacant sites down your way?

I work in Temple Bar, never seen anyone shoot up. Anyone it’s a moot point the alleged attacker is from Canada and most likely not a client of the chemist that hands out methadone in Temple Bar.

I’m in Temple Bar all the time and have never seen an addict shooting up. What nonsense.

In fairness, I have seen junkies shooting up in Temple Bar. I lived in Temple Bar for 4 years and it was pretty much a daily sight. They would constantly try and kick in the apartment building door and sit on the stairs of the apartment building while cooking up etc. A bigger door sorted that problem, but they just did it in the alley way outside the building then…. they also shared the spoils of their latest handbag robbery out there as well….. It’s not so evident around the square area of temple bar. More down towards Parliament St and the Dublin Corpo Building. My Dad gave me a lift back from the airport one day, parked the car on Fishamble St. 10 mins later we came back to the car, window put in and stuff stolen from the car. Junkie stealing for his fix. Dope dropped some of his stuff in the car that identified him…. It is most definitely a problem in Temple Bar. Look hard enough and you will see it. Trust me on that one..

outdoor porn? i need to spend more time in temple bar :)

What’s outdoor porn?…

Remember the two lads on paddys day last year? One of them was using the other as a naked human banjo, it’s a bit like that.

Ahh Shirley, now you’re teasing us
:()

Oh so its just people having sex in the street?!….from the sounds of it,’outside porn’, thought it was some kind of organised event!….Ahhhh so I get it now :-)

Jaysus Shirley, you almost sound disappointed !!!
:o)

How do ya know the attacker’s are from Dublin Darren

Typical Dublin scanger. Quebec city is ruined with them. Well done, you made a well researched point.

It’s amazing that 73 people didn’t bother to read the article and went straight to the comments.
The attacker was from Quebec. Most people from Quebec have never heard of a scanger.

Freak!

Explain, how is someone who stabs another person let down by society?????
Let down by family and a poor choice of friends?? Or just a scum bag who feeds off society and intimidates people weaker than himself ???
Let him rot in solitary confinement!!!

Jesus Niall, its because of political correctness that nothing is done with the merry bands of thieves, gypsies, smackheads and louts that roam the streets intimidating innocent citizens.

There is a wonderful island off Cork that could happily house all the drugheads and what better a place for them to cold turkey out of the habit

The (foreign) gypsies would be held and then repatriated to their home country as soon as possible.

The thugs would be chain-ganged and used for community ‘grunt’ projects.

All benefit payments would be dependent on cooperation.

Sounds a little harsh ???
Yep, the politically correct brigade and the care-bear brigade would be up in arms over it.
"Sure we don’t need to go to that extreme, isn’t the current system working grand" they will say.

………NOT !

I understand the emotion behind what you say, and I felt a little bit of it myself after I managed to get away from a clueless junkie who made a pathetic attempt at mugging me.

On crime policy, it’s important to ignore these knee-jerk emotions and see what works. Norway seems to get surprising results from relatively luxurious prisons.

“The reoffending average across Europe is about 70-75 per cent. In Denmark, Sweden and Finland, the average is 30 per cent. In Norway it is 20 per cent.”

Of course there are other societal factors involved in re-offence rates than the nature of the prisons. I’m not suggesting that Ireland should exactly follow Norway’s example – we’re in dire financial straits at the moment and resources need to go to the most deserving. Still, deeming people to be irredeemable scumbags and creating chain gangs is likely to increase, rather than decrease crime. Treat ‘em like scum and they’ll act like scum when they get out.

And in case anyone mentions it, I know that recently in Norway there was a freak shooting event, which was the exception rather than the rule. Oslo is still way safer than Dublin.

And Norway has very little immigration, is a homogeneous society,and does not have a history of petty crime in the way ourselves and the Brits do.

I would be interested to know what the recidivism rates are in the middle east ??

Reoffence rates in the middle east are similar to those of Franco’s Spain and Hitler’s Germany. The only democracy I know of with chain gangs is the US where crime is among the highest in the developed world.

You’re a bit weird Patrick

Tell me Patrick, how did you manage to post from Victorian times?

That was the mist entertaining post I’ve read in ages!!! Thank you Mr Moon that made me chuckle! Made my day!

Classic, you’ve got the bible virus! Lol
