Time to get tough on these gurriers
OUR lawmakers are soft in the head if they don’t start coming down harder on tearaway youths.
Kids no longer even feel safe playing football in their neighbourhoods.
An 11-year-old boy, Ben O’connor, was hospitalised after being assaulted by a group of teens in West Dublin’s Ballyfermot earlier this week.
How could anybody get a kick out of beating up a defenceless child over a ball?
A frightening number of evil fiends are making life hell for all our little angels.
It’s sickening how gurriers are sucking the very heartbeat out of our country’s soul.
Baile Atha Cliath is fast turning into a pool of blood.
If Dublin were a patient up on the operating table the surgeons would be doing open-heart surgery and maybe even an amputation as the only cure against these sick parasites.
The status quo on law and order doesn’t chime with the realities of modern crime. Teens are getting away with blue murder.
Big Brother watching our every move used to be our biggest concern.
Now the far more worrying craze is simple-minded thugs smashing up someone’s face and sticking it up on social media.
Such attacks with “hammers and bats” are “escalating week by week”, according to Sinn Fein councillor Seamus Mcgrattan.
He fears “someone will be killed” by street gangs carrying out random assaults.
These video nasties would be much harder to circulate if those useless TITS (Tiktok, Instagram and Twitter) were slapped with massive fines every time minors post them.
All the major social media platforms like Facebook and Whatsapp could be easily dragged up in front of an Irish judge, thanks to their European HQ’S all being here.
Our justice system needs to plant the fear of God into those minors who couldn’t find a moral compass even if it was an app on itunes.

For example, just take the recent court case involving a teen mugger named Alex Payne Craven, now aged 20, who taunted his victim as he battered him for his phone. He

brazenly stated: “You can’t do anything because we’re underage.” Then, he menacingly ran his thumb across his throat and threatened his victim with the chilling words “you’re dead”.
Now, thankfully this yob was lying about his age – he was actually 18 at the time and has now been jailed for a year.
We need to bring back the borstal school system with its tough regime focused on education rather than punitive.
Repeat offenders would leave with a proper education and trade.
It might even produce the next
Brendan Behan who wrote Borstal Boy about his own experience of being locked up in England.
Also, there’s a strong argument for army conscription for those aged 16 to 23 who are not in full-time education and unemployed for six months.
Getting dragged out of bed at 6am for drilling and marching exercises would ensure they’d all get their skates on to find work.
Otherwise lazy school dropouts hanging on street corners will have no real motivation to stop sponging off their parents and seeking dole handouts.
Some valuable life lessons are needed to get them marching to a different beat.
More local amenities aimed at young people are desperately needed, too.
This Tiktok culture of violence, which is warping young people’s minds, is a time bomb waiting to explode.
We’re on a countdown to mayhem. We need to hit the reset button.
