US Politics - A Society in Meltdown

Where did I say there were ??

They already do. Have you been up in the vicinity of Merchants Quay lately? The junction beside the civic offices Its like something out of the Wire. Dealers on every corner. Crack being smoked openly.

Be thankful that cunt Sidney isn’t here for this.

I suppose there must be a risk that Republicans with a brain in their heads will stay at home rather than vote for Trump for fanning all of this. Mattis may just be the first to go over the wall.

I’d say they are safe enough in Idaho. There wouldn’t be many African Americans up there.

Certain parts of Tallaght blanch Cabra finglas coolock Ballyfermot Tallaght inchicore Drimnagh etc. They just don’t like guards. The fact that they’re nearly all from the country and have nothing in common wit them contributes to the distrust on both sides. Obviously the scumbags and even those involved in petty crime dodginess despise them but most others definitely distrust them and a vicious circle is created of distrust then on both sides. ‘Fookin Gaaaaarda rats’

Loads has been done to address it community police more dubs as guards etc. Fear of speaking to them for being labelled a rat too is big. The guards get no info and even people who’ve been fucked over wont talk to them and the circle of distrust continues

Show of strength, I don’t blame anyone’ for protecting their property, and would have no sweat in using force to mind my family, but it’s getting bloody hairy

Dublin is like a mini London, majority of working class areas just don’t get on with country guards, 2 different breeds, always was and will be

Looks like a show of weak men with small dicks to me.

An awful lot of republicans didn’t vote for him in 2016 . He can lose a shit load of votes and still remain POTUS . He was lose the trendy states by bigger margins but the bubba states will carry him and the swing/bellweather states will be huge .

That said I think the economic collapses rather the the riots/racism will be what will in all probability be his downfall .

Exactly- it comes down to Ohio, Pennsylvania, Florida and Michigan. If trump wins 3 of them he probably wins again. The hiding he’s gonna get in ny and California et all don’t mean a thing at end of day.

Dublin is nothing like London, its a parochial backwater

Similar in Limerick.

I remember visiting my grandmother who lived at the top of O’Malley Park when I was around 17. I got stopped by the cops when I was walking home as they didn’t know my face, pulled me over and asked a few questions all nice and polite. There was a gang of lads standing watching and I said to the cop, thanks for the hiding your after getting me.

He got out of the car roaring and calling me a little scumbag and if I ever talked to him like that again he’d bring me in a beat the shit out of me. You’re their hero now he said.

Sure enough the lads were all about me. What did you say to him, kid. Fucking pigs won’t leave us alone :joy:

Much and much attitude

I think most blacks would admit it’s not necessarily white on black but blue on black. The blue being police of any colour or creed.

Here is a case from a couple of years ago which featured on a documentary in which a black officer was acquitted of all charges for the killing of another black kid in Milwaukee. Flint town was anothe real eye opener into how black people find themselves encased in poverty and abandonment and also details an under resourced police dept who cant hire enough police officers who themselves face significant occupational hazards.

How would the Kinahans fare over in America I wonder? Would they hold their own and keep it pucked out to them or would they be over matched?

It’s the same oul same oul, whilst rasicm is certainly a real thing. It is a symptom of inequality not the cause.
