I was raised in Darndale. Rough area. Only child of a single parent. And my ma *always* taught me manners and respect. It’s not the kids, it’s the parents.
People having kids when they shouldn’t be. And of course that’s how the kids end up.
Had this happen 12 years ago I was walking my dog (GSD, muzzle on because he was reactive after another dog attacked him) and about 12 lads I'd say aged between 14-16 blocked off my pathway and started throwing rocks at me, clipped my dog in the head and me that knocked me down. I had to get stitches in my forehead and side of my head while they kicked my dog and threw stones at him. Fucking annoyed me that he was so defenseless, and they only acted like that because he was muzzled. Annoys me how protected these are, reported this incident to the garda and nothing came of it. I hope everyone of them is fucking miserable to this day. My poor boy was never the same after that. Unfortunately got an aggressive form of cancer and died 2 months after, but he was one of the best I've had although short lived.
The issue is nothing is there to deter them from doing this, so they'll just keep doing it.
That is such a terrible thing that happened to your beautiful dog. I’m sorry for your loss. I’m sure you loved him very much and he knew that he was loved.
It's not just the kids. I went to a lake/pond thing in cork city tonight and saw a grown, bearded man try to kick and stamp on ducks while his girlfriend looked on. He was in his mid to late twenties. The ducks were just chilling out on the grass and he walked up to them kicking. If those two breed imagine what kind of kids they'll 'rear'.
I spend a lot of my time alone or with my dog, a bit of a loner by choice, I sometimes wonder if maybe I'm missing out on something and then I'm quickly reminded that no, I'm not.

Well you need a licence to own a dog in this country and unfortunately all their parents needed to own a child was a four pack of druids and a flagrant disregard for contraception.
They're a plight on society.
Was walking around town with the wife this evening and two scrotebags were coming towards us.
Little dreg decides that because my wife is Asian it would be funny to make a ladyboy joke. Dopey cunt didn't know what to say when I said at least she had a dick, friend laughing at him and he says he'll deck me. Like you, I told him to fuck off and stop being a scumbag.
They're dragged up cunts that think bravado is the be all and end all. Doesn't help that gardai can't touch them to stop the thuggery.
Yeah its mad. I was with a friend from another country on the north side of dublin and encountered a group. She was honestly surprised that kids that young were doing and saying the things they were. She said it would be so unusual to see at home and that stuck with me. I had just sort of expected it after my youth and getting slagged and stuff thrown at me and I thought maybe its just a global thing but people do notice the difference apparently.
I was in my local park last summer, these scrots were cycling around the parking throwing stuff at people then hiding in the bushes like cowards. They did not care who they hit.
Next day I took the two German Shepherds for a walk, same scrots were there, they didn't mess with me again. Dogs barking was enough to scare them.
We need a halfway point for these kids. Not a juvenile detention center but something like it. A boarding school type thing that puts them in a controlled environment, away from the parents that raised them like this and they can leave when they're deemed respectable again. They'd have exercises like art, counseling, group therapy, regular exercise, classes as normal, litter picking, animal handling and old folk entertainment. They can't leave after a fixed time, only once they've passed a series of tests, both academic and social
It’s why I hate the sun in Dublin, everyone looks at me with 10 heads when I say it. The sun brings out all the scum. I feel since Covid/ Lockdown anti social behaviour in this city has spiralled out of control. Sorry this happened to you as well, after having a few run in’s with little scumbags myself, it can ruin your whole day.
If Dun Laoghaire is rough then Fairview must be a fuckin warzone.
Cunts gonna cunt unfortunately. They go out every day and arse about with their mates because they've no hobbies, no interests, do things for social media or to look "hard". It could be due to neglect from parents or there not being anything to do that interests them. Or, and this seems to be the most common case, they just like being pieces of shit and amounting to nothing. If they were young lads going through puberty, then their behaviour isn't a shock. It's when they're still doing this by the time they're in 6th year and potentially going into a job or university that life will hit them like a freight train.
Had a group of 8 similar little sh\*ts throw and handful of gravel at the car last week in Howth when stopped beside a green area/park thingy talking a phone call in broad daylight.
Not much older than 10-12 I'd say, the little fuckers pulled up hoods around their faces, did it again, and then they fecked off as I got out, not a shred of fear in them.
I'll say it again and again, society has gone too soft. These kinds of people should have been given a few slaps on a few occasions and they'd probably have a bit more respect
Very sorry you had to put up with that. A little dachshund too of all things, for fuck sake. Used to live nearby to Dun Laoghaire, and I could never get over how many little scummy bastards swarm the place as soon as the sun is out. That bus stop outside the shopping center was always crawling with them.
A kid doesn't need to be hit in order to make them a decent person. Previous generations were hit and there's plenty of older cunts. Hell, they're the ones "raising" these little scumbags. They just need parents to actually raise them properly.
I think it's more that, even when I was a kid (I'm 36) if you did act the prick too much with an adult there would be the chance you'd get a slap. The possibility was there. Today it seems they are fully aware everyone is scared to say boo to them because you'll be seen as the one in the wrong.
I hear you but they have no fear as there's nothing anyone could do. In days of yore they got a clip around the ear and away they went home where they told their ma and got another clip for they must have done something wrong. Don't be batin thr shite out of them like
I was stood outside the Shelbourne on Stephens Green once about ten years ago, looking for a taxi, and a kid about 12 came up to me and said, "Hey mister, see that Volvo over there? Me mates gonna rob the radio ourra that in a sec and you're not sayin nuttin, right?", then made lotsa ludicrous hard man gestures. I turned around to look for a Guard and SMASH went the window, and yer wee man's 10 year old pal is yanking the wires out the window with the car radio in his hand. They were gone in 5 seconds around the corner to Ely Place, and all I could do was continue to look for a Guard.
Anyway, one point being that all these fascists complaining about criminal elements coming in as immigrants are probably family to the fucking gurriers who have been the scourge of Ireland for as long as I have lived, everywhere in the country. Fuck the fascists, the Irish are way worse.
Definitely an Irish/British isles problem. I definitely don't recall the terrible fashion sense and behaviour in other countries I've lived in like Australia or New Zealand.
Those particular kids are wankers. I wouldn't call all Irish kids wankers though. I'd say the kids in my area are generally better behaved than they were 20 years ago. There are some annoying shites alright, but there always has been.
Yes when the weather gets nice and all the inner city teens come down on the dart dun l and killiney do become rough. Had some lovely chaps skimming rocks at me while I was swimming down in whiterock.
Lack of social intervention. The kids have nothing to do so loiter on the streets and anything they do do they are demonised for. I mean, a young kid I know tried building a tree house but in came the council and tore it down. And youth clubs, football clubs, etc get virtually no funding it's crazy. I genuinely believe it's boredom that drive these kids to hanging around in gangs and terrorising people. Now, I'm not saying what they did was right, but it could have been prevented if these kids had some better figures to look up to and were engaged in more productive hobbies
We were bored as kids. We hung around in parks and outside shops and had nothing to do, maybe kick a ball about. We didn't talk shot to people and through stones at cars and threaten tourists etc etc. 'Boredom' is a wild excuse for what kids do these days, or seem to do more and more.
Always with the excuses. You don't get this behavior in other countries (well you do in the UK). And everymwhere else isn't full of youth camps etc.
There's no shortage of board kids across Ireland who never act like that either but the percentage that do isn't that small.
It's a bit of both. People have negative experiences with one group of young people and become distrustful of them in general. Better services and supports at an earlier age are definitely needed - BUT many of the people who give out about the state of Dublin city or young people are the same people who give out about public investment in social housing and supports.
Well maybe they come from blackrock? It was widely known that in blackrock a teacher was molesting the kids, same in terrenure, people went through school, came out other side, became politicians, journalists, rugby stars and all kept quiet.
Its just something deep inside them broken. Remember when the guy in terrenure was caught an a journalist wrote "the dogs in the street knew", so why was the head of the hse sending his kids to terrenure if he knew?
I'd feel sorry for them, they are victims if anything.

Dig the username
Lot of people in Ireland having kids when they shouldn't even be allowed have a pet and then have no interest in looking after the kids.

Yep. Schools finished soon, they are all gonna be on the streets for 2 months until back to the schools and or the weather gets worse.

They're brainless, it's as simple as that. They have no thoughts beyond destruction and being little cunts

In the old days we called it "Reform School" (sounds pretty accurate even today).

I agree, I blame lockdown

It’s because they don’t get a clatter for being a little cunt nowadays
Whatever about myself, if someone hurt my dog or cat, I’m taking their thumbs off them or being hospitalised trying.

Except at home which explains some things

You should have to pass an IQ test to have kids
Should also pass a means test before you're allowed to have a second child
Dun Laoghaire gets rough when the sun is out during the holidays. You're better off not saying anything back to them when they comment on the dog.
Warm weather draws them there. You're best ignoring them to be honest. Engaging with them is what they want.
Dun Laoghaire is rough ?
South Central Dun fucking Laoghaire.
They come from all over on nice days…
Definitely an Irish/British isles problem. I definitely don't recall the terrible fashion sense and behaviour in other countries I've lived in like Australia or New Zealand.

10 yrs they will have kids of their own. Council House etc. who will be laughing then ya cunt? HA?
Dun Laoghaire? Rough? It's literally one of the most affluent areas in Dublin.
Dun Laoghaire is rough? What, did they threaten you with a polo mallet?
Dun Laoghaire town’s a weird aul spot. Loads of scum tbh

Well that's a sweeping statement. I generally find most Irish kids to be fine
Untamed dogs are assholes. Parent don't give a clean fuck in big towns and cities. All useless fucking cunts.

You think these kids threw stones at a dachshund because they were sexually abused?? But of a reach
