Wife's boss is Asian. Texted to say that she isn't leaving the house today.Just had someone say in work that a few classes have lower attendance than usual. Nothing dramatic,but still. All non national kids. And staff were wondering was it as a result of yesterday.
Also heard of a few schools where staff didn't show up in the city centre.
There was nothing to back it up,but interesting conversation
It has been noted that drivers all over are more cuntish these days.Wife also mentioned people being absolute cunts (moreso than usual) on her drive to Rathmines this morning.
It's all so sad and shocking ... I happened to be in town last night...I had no sense that this was a possibility...by the time I left the cinema (we were held in for a little as the gardai were there, and had blocked off Dame Street, Eustace Street...)... it was like a scene from 28 Days Later, a burnt out car, smashed glass everywhere, there were piles of burning rubbish all the way along Dame Street on the way to Thomas Street... the guards were in shock - one of the waiters helped me disentangle my bicycle (which survived, improbably) from the other bicycles that had just been mangled and set upon, and ripped apart, and he was saying what had just happened an hour or so before - what he had seen - he was in shock at the levels of mindless aggression - all the restaurants and pubs shuttered early, understandably - I have never seen anything like it in Dublin...all I feel is sadness. But I know we are better than this.
I'm a little shocked people haven't been calling for her head today.In fact yer wan McEntee said it was safe, as she was flanked by gardaí - they ignored it / changed very little just to say they did something. Pressure had to give somehow eventually

maybe they're biding their time.
I'd at least be expecting the gards to be demanding a bit reaction from the govt in terms of funding, or they'll be striking. If not now, then when?
I know what you mean, I have also noticed a little bit of a difference in town when we were in the midst of Covid and Lockdown, and post-it ...a kind of edgy feeling sometimes - but naively perhaps I didn't think something like last night would happen, I thought it was more that there were pockets of antisocial behaviour (and so many reasons for this), but I didn't expect it to escalate like that, and with that amount of people. I still love Dublin (improbably, perhaps), and mainly still feel fairly safe... but last night I definitely didn't - I don't want to give into that feeling either, and hope it's a temporary feeling.Do you mean just last night or in general.
I feel like something like this was inevitable. Thing have been progressively getting shitter in Dublin the last few years, exacerbated by Covid lockdowns.
Dickheads have ben waiting for any opportunity to wreck the place.
We've known Dublin has become more unsafe lately and they didn't address it. In fact yer wan McEntee said it was safe, as she was flanked by gardaí - they ignored it / changed very little just to say they did something. Pressure had to give somehow eventually
yeah, I was on the fence until yesterday. Those patriots battering down the shutters outside Arnotts is whatr finally changed my mind.Hopefully setting fire to a LUAS makes it clear to everyone that we're not a pro stabbing children country.
Being anti stabbing children is a brave and controversial stance to take, but at least someone has the nerve to stand up and send a clear message. Hopefully all the pro stabbing children people will have their minds changed on the issue, otherwise this will all have been in vain.
Liveline gonna be cookin' today
