Travellers

[TheUlteriorMotive]

It will take somebody to be killed and the Gardai being embarrassed and then we’ll have rolling road blocks.

they either don’t have the numbers, have other priorities or can’t be arsed. Probably a combination of all 3

Going by @ciarancareyshurlingarmy post they were able to deploy tens of guards to a checkpoint on the same stretch for a few hours earlier.

You’ll have that Niall O’Connor clown quoted above defending the guards to the hilt and blame lack of resources, but it’s more likely lack of will. It was the same with everything, the guards will claim to be tackling an issue, until eventually some completely unacceptable high profile incident happens and they are suddenly able to make progress in the cases.

You’ve lads on here willing to defend the rights of travellers. What is traveller culture? It’s not making tin pots on the side of the road and speaking the gammon anyway.

To me the most noticeable representations of their culture is rampant criminality, animal cruelty, bare knuckle boxing, extreme misogyny and violence against their women, a lack of taking responsibility for their actions, little respect for the environment and being a general nuisance, to put it kindly. Sure, you may have a few good eggs who do well for themselves but the I’m finding it harder to believe that those engaging in criminality are in the minority.

why do people that are socially excluded behave in a way that isnt acceptable to society?

[StoneCold]

Why don’t they behave in a way that would make them socially inclusive?

[Little_Lord_Fauntleroy]

If they wernt treated like shit I think they would

[StoneCold]

If they didn’t treat halting sites like rubbish tips and didn’t rob normal Joe Soaps they wouldn’t be treated like shit

It’s handy for lads to have an acceptable outlet for their racism anyway

[StoneCold]

I’ve a reason for my dislike of travellers. Someone close to me was badly injured after he crashed into a loose pony, which was known to belong to a local family. When the guards called to the door, they abdicated all responsibility.

What’s racist about stating that they engage in animal abuse, for example?

[Batigol]

“It’s my culture so I can follow whatever laws I want and anyone who says differently is a racist”

[TheBird]

Criminality and lawlessness masquerading as culture…boss

[backinatracksuit]

There’s no issue with anybody denouncing criminality and there’s no doubt but that an element of travellers are indeed scumbags of the highest order, but I have an issue with the all encompassing hate speech that is tolerated and even encouraged here, didn’t somebody recently suggest that they should all be torched in their caravans?

[Special_Olympiakos]

Anyone who says they’d have no problem with a Halting site popping up beside them is a liar.

[Batigol]

Whoever said that was obviously guilt of hate-speech on an extreme level.

I have an issue with criminality being excused as “culture” and subsequently being defended as a result

[TheBlackSpot]

More culture I’d guess

Do you get how stupid that statement is? Replace travellers in that sentence with French people. Is it valid to dislike all French people because of your one negative encounter with a French person?

No.

A very disturbing post that got a lot of likes.
