deafmute said:with you all the way antrophe,whatever about the republican/political element,all the `scumbags` joining in are just lashing back at the gardai in the most direct way possible.every day theyre being pissed on by the police and society in general so some retaliation is only to be expected.and as for attacks on the media,theyre merely acquiescent in the way society treats the working class so are as legitimate a target as the gardai.
deafmute said:well considering i spent 20 of my 23 years on this planet living on working class estates i dont think i fall into that category...
!bing!bing!bing
deafmute said:mercedes and bmw cars?foreign owned businesses,mcdonalds ulsterbank etc and all the while supermacs kept on serving food......not entirely random.

"well i talk to em every day on a person to person basis and yr not making any real point here so give it up please"
aoifed said:Marginalised people living in poverty and generally excluded by mainstream 'celtic tiger' Irish society probably have legitimate and personal anger at the status quo. The frustration and anger may not be articulated, but I'm pretty sure it's there. The riot may have been symbolic of that on a subconsciuos level. It was still destructive and hurtful and a terrible way to express the anger but I think one has to accept the possiblity of that underlying sentiment, and not disregard either as purely political or pure thuggery.
(presuming that the majority of those involved were from marginalised communities.... I don't know if they were)
