I see on another forum some lad in Waterford had an armed standoff with Gardai last night. He was on top of a roof waving a gun in the air. Someone has posted a clip on YouTube which I can’t see. There was rumours of hostages and stuff but they don’t seem to be true. Thread on boards about it in the waterford city section. Crazy that it hasn’t hit any news sites yet.
journal.ie had something on their site around 8 or 9 last night I think. How did it finish? I imagine the ERU were present?
Apparently he managed to break his ankle
I see a crowd of vigilantes tried to run a Roma Gypsy family out of Waterford earlier this evening.
What do you mean “tried” ?
Think an angry mob descended on the Roma’s house but they were prevented from getting at them by the Gardai
Just saw a video on YouTube, crowds of people there.
Anyone know the “backstory” to this?
Fucking cops are never there when you need them and always there when you don’t

I think the Roma’s were being Roma’s (pick pocketting, mugging, begging etc) and people had enough of it.
They’ve moved on from there…
Nothing beats a good local mob,I remember when working in Clare the Bridge boys ran the travellers out of the place one time.
Can you swing a sack of doorknobs?
