Why does Ireland have so few violent criminals compared to the US?
Why do European welfare states have so few violent criminals compared to the US?
The judicial system needs a merry go round of criminals perpetuating crime to keep the system going. Thereâs no problem with lads having hundreds of convictions once they keep the boys in jobs.
An absolute bullshit article, unsurprising given the source.
You are either in favor of holding criminals responsible or you arenât. What you are essentially saying is give criminals and prospective criminals more free stuff so they donât commit crime.
Laughable.

he didnt say that at all
He didnât say that
Because the US is a far more violent society than Ireland or most of Europe.
Why is Mexico so violent, or south America?
The US should hold itself up to higher standards than Mexico or south America
Thatâs exactly what the article is saying. The reduction in welfare resulted in an increase in crime.
Why? Itâs full of Mexicans and South Americans, they are the fastest growing demographic by far.
Predictable response. Everything that doesnât back up your failed worldview is âbullshitâ, of course. Fingers in your ears, whistling away.
Yes, it is.
Yet you want Ireland to be more like the US. 
In how it deals with violent criminals, yes.
Ah yes, all these âillegal immigrantsâ. The ones who commit far less crime than people born in the US.
One man arrested is on disability for his âbackâ, but was out and about in the snow and ice at a bare minimum. Weâll see how he gets on in court.
The âright wingâ being blamed when we have had a decade now of rising disability claims and people checking out of the workforce. Question that and you are labeled uncaring.
Ireland has a huge welfare state yet the mythical right wing politics in Ireland are blamed. Our so called right wing Taoiseach led the charge in increasing welfare amounts at a time of growing employment, increasing welfare recipients weekly take home by a greater amount than people earning less than âŹ50k per annum through tax cuts.

Ah yes, the strategy that has proven to be a total failure.
To be more successful, copy failure.
The comedy just keeps on coming.

Please do quote where somebody has blamed the right-wing for this crime, mate.
Iâd hate to think you were just plucking nonsense out of your arse.
Thereâs a fascinating discussion going on right now that has nothing to do with tallaght. Fascinating.
Irish governments have mostly been to the centre left economically in our history.
It has been stated on here that this is the result of social marginalisation. If that is going to be brought up then it will be engaged.
Jobstown has one of the highest unemployment rates in the state. It also happens to have some of the worst statistics out there for education and nearly two thirds of families are lone parent ones.
You want to put your head in the sand, thatâs fine, but this kind of thing doesnât happen everywhere.

Who is blaming the right wing?
I was referring to to Mexican and south American comparisons.
