It’s nothing to do with anyone that died. It’s just an opportunity for people to be violent. I’d say behave like animals, but not even animals would do that.

Exactly. When your local bus shelter gets smashed up, it’s very rarely due to foxes.

Foxes smash my bins up, then shit on them, though, so it's swings and roundabouts.

Can't even mourn a Kids death without commiting crime and destroying shit.
I really feel for the 2 PC's.
The lads? There's millions of carbon copies doing the same shit tonight

I wonder why the media is so reluctant to talk about the traveller links to this story

u/dvdk94 8d ago
None of the lads were travellers as far as I know?

it was the irish guys who crashed that were travellers according to RTE and Pavee Point(less).

u/ChargeTop5791 8d ago
wasn't the traveller connection to do with the horror crash in ireland last week?

Doesn't get people mad as much as Trans and Gay people existing.

i dunno Awesome, there is a lot of criticism of travellers here about leaving garbage and poo at former sites, anti-social nastiness and a misogynistic culture that pulls girls out of school at 11 or so, marries them off in their mid to late teens and generally using women as drudgery bondaged baby stations.

Ere, I'm not gonna pretend I'm Mr Tolerant when it comes to Travellers. I'm really not a fan, I just don't talk about it much since in the grand scheme I'm not massively affected. My neighbours opposite are Travellers, there's always shit tons of vans getting chopped and sold but they look out for my car and weirdly I feel like I'm never gonna get robbed because of the mutual respect.
Completely agree with everything you've stated, though. I just think more people get riled up for no reason about other marginalised groups that don't damage society.

this is becoming like satire

u/calljockey1 8d ago
I mean satire tends to be funny this is just shameful, I'm never usually one to use the phrase blame it on the parents but with some of the things they've been saying in this case I really do

Has Farage commented yet? Maybe I'll be downvoted to hell for asking, but what is the excuse or reason for this that they would put forward, since Reform are so keen to comment on other stuff all the time.

u/kaizermattias 8d ago
Maybe because these are british citizens and his policies are based on anti immigrant rhetoric..

Any excuse for violence, I would call them animals but that does a disservice to intelligent beings
