Irish Teenage Vigilantes on the Rise?
With Anti-immigration (not just illegal immigration) sentiment at an all time high and sweeping the Irish land. It's teenagers, youths and young adults have taken it upon themselves to 'correct' the situation by attacking anyone they happen upon by chance on the streets that may look like a migrant.
An Irish Lady offers just one of the many recent personal accounts of racism she has witnessed in Ireland. She points out the unprovoked harassments carried out by teenagers in public (in broad daylight); wondering what other actions might they be capable of (or already taking) away from preying eyes. (The Lady has the courage to confront them; and isn't content to just be a spectator).
"I am sick to my teeth of leaving my house and witnessing racism in this country, especially Dublin City. And it's not like 80% of the time. It's 98% of the time when I leave the house, I witness something."
School Girl public Medal snub in Ireland (3 yrs ago)
Over the weekend an IT technician at Amazon Ireland (Dublin) of Indian origins was stripped, beaten and assaulted by Irish lads. They first wished to promote a story that he was purposefully exposing himself in public. One would guess to use him as an example as one of those new arrivals that aren't accustomed to Irish cultural norms as a means to justify their wishes to carry out acts of violence. The people that first approached the Amazon Technician failed to recognise that he had been assaulted; instead they insisted that he get dressed and not indecently expose himself. The Man a Husband and Father to 11 month baby- back home in India; had only been in Ireland for a week on a 30 Days contract of work.
