BosKonay Posted March 7, 2014 Posted March 7, 2014 http://www.thejournal.ie/train-drugs-vandalism-1349035-Mar2014/ RAIL SERVICES WERE suspended in both directions for a time this morning between Clonsilla in Dublin and Maynooth in Co Kildare as gardaí responded to a vandalism incident on the 5.40am service from Longford to Pearse.

skinner75 Posted March 7, 2014 Posted March 7, 2014 200 people on board, and not one of them would put it up to the scum? Probably too busy having a whinge at how they were going to be late getting into work. At least the toerags were caught - now lets hope they get a proper sentence Quote
heirflick Posted March 7, 2014 Posted March 7, 2014 [quote=skinner75;47213 At least the toerags were caught - now lets hope they get a proper sentence hanging is too good for them....its a good kick up the ar.e they need!! Quote
minister_for_hardship Posted March 7, 2014 Posted March 7, 2014 200 people on board, and not one of them would put it up to the scum? Lay a hand on one of them and it's 'assault'. Quote
skinner75 Posted March 7, 2014 Posted March 7, 2014 Lay a hand on one of them and it's 'assault'. I'm sure that'd be thrown out of court. Scum need to be slapped into place by the genral public - it's the only way they'll learn that they can't be doing whatever they feel like Quote
Garfield Posted March 7, 2014 Posted March 7, 2014 While I understand the frustration and desire to teach thugs like these a lesson by giving them a taste of their own medicine, it's unfair to expect the passengers to confront them, especially if they're high on drugs. Doing so could have led to an even more serious situation. Quote
jhb171achill Posted March 7, 2014 Posted March 7, 2014 All sorts of bulletin boards occasionally have posts to which people react on how they would deal with the matter in hand. Some would slaughter culprits en masse, in as unprintable a way possible, others would witter on about their rights to be treated as human beings, their unfortunate circumstances, and how we should all give everyone respect and a chance. Twice in the last few days I have seen (in one case two, in another case four or five) drug-fuelled, mobile-twitching gentlemen travelling on the Red Line. To describe them as scum, pond life or bottom feeders would do a great, or even actionable, disservice to small bodies of water and films on their surfaces. Naturally, they were so engrossed in their texting (to find their next hit?) that they appeared to inadvertently forget to pay a fare. The group of 4 or 5 were ejected by the bouncers at Smithfield; the other two were left alone as there were no bouncers on that service. Can we ban them from owning mobiles or using public transport? No, they have rights. In banning them from transport, can we prevent them from leaving their own street? No; they have rights. With regard to the two extremes of opinion mentioned in the first sentence, I'm with the first lot. A permanent ban from all posting boards for me would follow even an outline of what I feel is an appropriate way to deal with such citizens...... Rant over.... Quote

Tarabuses Posted March 8, 2014 Posted March 8, 2014 The appropriate action would, of course, be for the culprits to be quickly removed from society to a place of detention. However it seems they are now out on bail to repeat their behaviour at their convenience and cause further disruption wherever they please. Quote
Broithe Posted March 10, 2014 Posted March 10, 2014 Something else tonight - possibly a similar event - Irish Rail Tweeted "Apologies to all customers onboard the 17:55hrs service from Heuston to Newbridge. Gardai are investigating"... Quote

Barl Posted March 10, 2014 Posted March 10, 2014 Yes found it, they have an article on the indo too. So much for rail security, bring back guards! http://www.independent.ie/irish-news/commuters-left-terrified-following-chaos-on-evening-train-30079812.html Quote
jhb171achill Posted March 11, 2014 Posted March 11, 2014 When will we as a society learn to just cull these people.... Worthless rubbish that they are.... Quote
