On scum

Posted in Blog by Twenty Major on February 28th, 2008

Quality ranting here from One for the Road about the scumbags involved in the murder of two Polish men in Drimnagh and the rise of the scumbag across the city in general.

Scumbags are not a new invention, there have always been scumbags, there will always be scumbags, but now this generation of scumbags is getting way above its station and it needs to be taken down a peg or two.

There seems to be this strange sense of entitlement, that they should get what they want, when they want and how they want. And the how is the most worrying part. I knew some seriously scummy lads when I was growing up. Not that I hung around with them but I knew them, I knew where they liked to be and generally I avoided places like that. From time to time you’d run into them and depending on various factors like their mood, our mood, the time of day, the lunar cycle, how windy it was, if the day had a letter W in it or whether or not you had a football with you there may or may not be a bit of trouble.

But by bit of trouble I mean a chase (not a tee-hee ‘chase me! chase me’ chase, apart from Phil the Fruit who loved the boy on boy action) or some brief fisticuffs but none of these scumbags, and they were scumbags, would ever even have thought about stabbing somebody in the neck with a screwdriver then stabbing another person in the side of the head so hard it punctures your brain.

They shoplifted, they drank cider, they smoked John Player blue, they wore pants too short from them and those squiggly jumpers you used to see in Dunnes Stores and they got up to no good. They sniffed glue and generally made a nuisance of themselves rather than being a serious threat. And remember, none of these lads had much to do. It was a time of four channel (if you were lucky) TV and days and nights spent out of the house because going out was all there was to do.

But these little cunts nowadays have everything. They have whatever the fuck they want. TV, DVD, xBox, mobile phones, internet, cheap drugs, cars, cheap booze, fancy clothes and trainers and pretty much everything else you can think of. When we were growing up there was one bloke with a Commodore64 but his mother didn’t like us in her house all day long so we got fucked out on the street and amused ourselves with football and making ramps for people to go over on their bikes and then go arse over tit and land on their face.

I’m not saying that the olden days were so much better, of course society changes but we’re not changing with it. We’re expecting ‘olde worlde’ values from modern kids and we’re never going to get them. We need to show them that the kind of behaviour they’re going on with won’t be tolerated. Are we going to get more prisons? No. Are the already chock-a-block courts going to do any more than spew kids who beat up people and film it on their mobiles back onto the street in no time? I doubt it.

So where’s the solution? Education? Community policing? Social awareness? Ad campaigns? All reasonable ideas in the long-term but there’s too much going on now for this to be simply a long term plan.

Vigilantism - let these fuckers know if they continue to behave this way then they’ll suffer for it. We need the Dublin equivalent of the Black Panthers. Masked marauders prowling the streets looking for scum and dragging it face first across a gravel driveway.

Public humiliation - parade them through the streets, these anti-social vermin, wearing sandwich boards. Name and shame them - although you fear in this internet generation when every part of their lives are paraded on Bebo that this would just be another badge of honour.

Jailing parents - such a difficult one, there are good people who produce bad kids, and bad people who produce, against all the odds, good kids. Where it’s blindingly obvious though that a parent’s neglect or lack of interest/guidance/responsibility is a factor in their little Johnny or Jenny becoming a piece of shit then I’d have no problem prosecuting them. We go after people who have dangerous dogs, why wouldn’t we go after people with dangerous kids? A dangerous person can do much more damage than any Rottweiler.

Something has to be done though. You can’t even say ‘Don’t stand for it’ or ‘Fight back’ because respect for elders is a thing of the past, you’re as likely to get a screwdriver in the side of your head the moment you open your mouth, but unless the problem is addressed and addressed with the kind of seriouness it merits it’s only going to get worse.

Now, anyone for the stab vests? Five for €50 the stab vests.

Update: Green Ink has a grand idea.

    The problem with that is 99% of the people (read:snobby pricks) here seem to think that anyone with a thick Dublin accent and ill-conceived facial hair is a scumbag. Never fails to amaze me (and wind me up no end) the people I hear pointing out a ’scumbag’ based on very little.

    It’s sad to admit, but I really see no solution to this problem. The scumbag population has been growing unchecked for the past decade and now there are just too many of them, everywhere. They’ve taken over the fucking place. How to avoid these hateful little shitheads? Move out of Dublin. That’s what I did.

    Goes back to Paul Williams reading out Giligan’s statement in a Dublin accent because Dublin accent = scumbag. The Sunday World bloke said so.

    Like who, Ronnie Drew?

    Actually, I reckon 99% of the people “here” could easily tell the difference between a decent, well-raised Dublin citizen and the sort of nasty, foul-mouthed, racist little thug who thinks anyone not wearing a tracksuit is a “snobby prick”.

    All fair enough except for the Black Panther bit. Much more likely that you’ld find them encouraging the scumbags then otherwise. Every organisation is always looking for fresh recruits and where better to look for terrorist criminal candidates then among the surviving street scum you stirred into action in the first place?

    Although I think it only proper to point out that the Panthers were pretty insistent on a noticiable degree of melanin in their male membership. Last time I looked the prospects for candadates seemed pretty thin on the ground in Ireland.

    God it is terrible, Driminagh is a nice area it is terrible to think something like that would happen. I think it is down to the parents, I do not support beating or slapping children but I swear to God had I so much of told a neighbour to fuck off I would have been murdered or worse far, far worse, grounded for the rest of my life and made to clean the house whilst I waited to die. Another factor is the vicious circle of the poor and shall we say less favourable members of society, each generation improves upon the last, basically knackers breed even bigger knackers.

    Breeding licences in the long-term - sterilisation until a couple can prove they have the ability and desire to raise decent kids.
    Short-term is a bit of a bugger, but strict community service sentences could do a lot…

    Apparently this all started because the two lads refused to buy drink for kids in their early teens. This was a recurring problem outside our local off licence - stupid adults buying drink for kids so the Guards did an undercover op and arrested a few adults - end of problem. This happened because a few people got on to the local station AND there are Guards living in the area. In working class areas, where no Guard live, the locals don’t even bother agitating the Guards for this kind of operation.

    I’m an earlier generation than yerself and yes there always were scumbags/skobes etc. I’m old enough to remember Bovver Boys in BCR gear and docs milling each other on O’Connell Street.

    As you say, if a few came up to you and said, “G’s yer bike or we’ll do ya”, you were only afraid of being roughed up in a (by today’s standards) mild sort of way. So you could hold onto the bike and eyeball them until they fucked off. At least that’s what I did back then. Now I’d say, “Take it, and please don’t stab me, sonny.”

    A friend of mine said he was at a house party in the Bluebell area full of regular working people, lots of different nationalities.

    At around midnight an angry dodgy looking fella came to the door and told them to turn off the music or he’d kill him.

    They were pretty pissed so they carried on, about half an hour later a brick came through the window and there was a crowd of about 20 people outside the house with baseball bats and other weapons.

    Some people got nasty hidings off them.

    Now I would normally consider myself a pacifist type but it stikes me that what’s badly needed is a decent war. Some sort of skirmish between developed nations over something trival (telephone poles, potatoes or even fishing quotas). The first thing that would happen is that the prisons would get emptied, the second thing would be that the streets would become very quiet after dark as every little able bodied scumbag over the age of 16 that wasn’t working or in education of some sort would be shuttled off to the nearest barracks to fill the shortfall of cannon fodder, sorry, troops needed. Lets see the fuckers vent their pent up aggression with the business end of an armalite stuck in their pimply little coupons!

    No matter how hard you try, you can’t blame this on Williams, sure he is crap and self serving but so is everyone who appears on TV3/RTE. Blame the small minority who crack on about human rights every time you mention putting soldering irons to the eyes of convicted scumbags.

    Scumbags should be sterilised. It’s a simple solution. Knackers breed even bigger knackers (not travellers I should point out). I’ve been stuck down the back of many a smoke-filled double deck bus and had to listen to some sort of wizened elder passing on the knowledge about how it’s alright to take a hammer to someone’s face because “you’re only lookin’ after yerself”.

    And God forbid you ever stand up for yourself. Jesus, you’d be maimed in an instant. Bastards.

    As strange as it is to admit it, I think Marilyn Manson was on to something when he said that prospective parents should be means tested and tested for suitability so that they wouldn’t be allowed bring some retarded piece of shit into the world. God, I fucking hate scumbags.

    Just the other night me and the missus had a rock thrown at us from a speeding car. Needless to say if you dared stand up to them they’d shite themselves and get their entire extended knuckle-tattoo’ed, knuckle-dragging half-wit family after you.

    What the fuck happened to this country? Did we lose a war or something?

    We need “The Sweeney” for these little fuckers. A squad of head crackers to fuck them out of it and teach them that one false move and they get beaten to shit. But something everyone is missing here is that it’s not just scumbags from the flats as such, it’s also rich little pricks from the leafy burbs who are causing trouble.

    No fucking respect anymore for the common good. No please and thank you, no stepping to one side to let someone pass, no watching out for the person in need of a little help.

    And I mostly blame the parents. Cliche but it’s true. Decent people, working class as much as so called middle class, generally raise decent kids.

    Freakonomics by Steven D. Levitt, Stephen J. Dubner tackles the subject of the dramatic drop in scum-baggery in New York. Much to–do was made of zero tolerance policing, cleaning up Times Square, etc but the authors make a simpler and clearer correlation. With the advent of available abortion following Roe vs Wade all the potential single moms in deprived neighborhoods opted for abortions instead of beginning baby scummers into the world to wreak havoc in later life. Consequently, twenty odd years later, there were fewer of these chaps roaming the streets and there followed a drop in crime.
    I’m not offering it as a solution but it’s certainly thought provoking.
    With regard to vigilantism, you have to become a scumbag yourself to do it properly. In order to administer the beating the scumbag may deserve, you’ll need to suspend your compassion, your humanity, your aversion to blood and split skulls and cries of pain; to inure yourself so that you can do it again and again until the little fuckers have learned their lesson – by which time you’ll have lost. The moral high ground is relinquished and George Bush becomes your role mode with a Git’mo somewhere in Ballyfermot ‘cos they all have Dublin accents.
    It is nice to think about but it’s just wishful thinking.
    On the other hand, could we have one day a month called “Slap a Scumbag Without Fear of Reprisal Day”. That’d be fun.

    I watched violent films, played violent games, listened to violent music growing up, and still do, but it certainly hasn’t changed how I behave in the real world. The problem is that these scumbags think that if they can get away with something, they may as well do it. They give some “hippy” a hiding and nothing happens and suddenly they believe they are invincible. The problem is that good people have to start standing up for ourselves. Vigilantism would be a good start. They could clamp down on the loudest scum. The rest would soon fall into line.

    I live among a lot of scumbags, although I am NOT one myself, and never have been. I’ve never gotten any trouble from any of them, and it’s all down to one thing; I look like a scumbag.
    Any 12yr. old out there could probably kick the shit out of me, but because I show no fear, and keep determined eye contact on the ring-leader of any group of the little cunts I approach, they step aside. I’ve even gotten unsolicited apologies from them at times.
    Don’t look like a victim, and you won’t be a victim.

    You have to believe that every child is born with a reasonable chance of becoming a decent, rational adult. People aren’t born cunts. They’re raised that way. (As somebody already said scumbags breed bigger scumbags)

    I’m reminded of a recent episode of Shamless where 10 year old Liam as his degenerate dad, Frank, if he can have some larger. Frank gives him the larger. Liam then asks “Can I have some E’s Dad?”. “Not ’til your 12 son, not ’til you’re twelve”.

    IMO parents need to be held responsible for the cuntish actions of their children. While ADD may be a geniune, verifiable medical condition, its not an excuse to act the prick with impunity.

    What really irks me is all this shite about knocking time off a sentence where some little prick said a half-hearted sorry to some judge or other … the best solution is jail, with lots of fat-filled food. They then come out of jail supersized and several stone heavier, unable to run fast when they steal things, and they get called fat bastards by younger nubile scumbags.

    In the ensuing turf wars between scumbags and lard asses, there is mutual destruction. Then, we get the Green Party members to clean up the fatty deposits and gore with their tongues (which have been well-trained kissing their FF masters’ asses). As the waste is actually toxic, the Greens are also killed off but die knowing they were right about toxic waste. So in one fell swoop, crime, scumbag obesity and the Green Party: sorted. Fine Gael: amateurs.

    Scumbags being more violent than in bygone days, Anto will be found buried in a shallow grave on the outskirts of Coolock.

    1 down, the garda moves on to Redser and says “Here! I heard Whacker called your ma a slapper”…

    Maybe the introduction of National Service might teach the little fuckers some discipline. Get em off the streets, teach em some sort of skills and scare some discipline into them.

    I don’t think day one of military service is “Weaponry and how to use it.” I’d imagine it all starts with screaming at and mentally abusing the recruits until they’re reduced to a state where something can be made of em. At least, that’s what Full Metal Jacket taught me…

    Heres the differnce, while we were busy playing our Commodore 64’s (1 between 5 families) and waiting for our big brothers to grow out of the latest fashions, and just climbing trees and playing chase, and all that twee fun, our neighbours friends and chums etc were all in the same boat. There was no competition. Nobody really thought about getting rich and having it all, cause it just seemed unrealistic. There is a lot of Jealous frustration out there at the moment.

    But I am not for a second excusing the behaviour of these psychotic thugs.

    But if kids are doing these things today, and we didnt then logically there is something wrong with todays society. Punishment is only bolting the door after the horse…

    On reading this post a thought came to me on another use of the spire. Those two fuckers in drimnagh should be made jump out of a helicopter just above the spire (no chutes of course) with two parachuters either side of them holding their butt cheeks apart so the top of the spire can penetrate nicely. then they should be slid down the spire to make way for the other host of cunts who need the same treatment. Intersperse the scum on the spire with a politician or two and make it look like meat and veg on a skewer. Then you can light the fuckers up…..

    I laugh at the ramps and commodore64s and *sigh* because it wasn’t some nostalgic illusion, it was every summer.

    Yeah there were scumbags and i got a few digs along the way but never a stabbing etc.

    I’m living in Tokyo at the moment and it’s odd to have a sense of security all the time without any scumbags whatsoever.

    I hate to say it but since the incident of violence are becoming more severe I would actually turn a blind eye to the ritual humiliation of many of the scumbags in order to restore parity.

    I would like them to be worried that if they do something to somebody unprovoked that it risks their safety and then maybe they’ll have some more respect for people just going about their business. A sort of “keep your yourself to yourself and i’ll keep myself to myself”

    depressing situation though..

    If you learn how to use a comma I’ll learn how to construct a sentence. I don’t really see what I need to learn, however, as my sentence, though containing a typo, was perfectly constructed.

    Who’s playing Slane this year?

    My biggest regret was when Eminem cancelled there 3 years ago or whenever it was. We missed the chance to napalm Slane and thereby get rid of at least 80,000 of the biggest slabs of shite that this country has produced. We may never get another chance again. We could have ushered in a new golden age for Irish society. We could have rid ourselves of most of the biggest animals from most of the major council estates in one fell swoop (assuming of course you blew up all of the prisons simultaneously).

  107. DaughterFunk says:

    Yeah, abortion is the way. And once it’s widely available the scumbags’ll start going at it like rabbits without protection because they can just abort, and hopefully they’ll get AIDS because of this and die.
    Although the ones who live will have less sense of responsibility in their heads, but who cares, scumbags who throw rocks at an innocent me walking down a street because I have a funny accent deserve to die, now.

    And if not, they deserve to be publicly flogged or something along those lines..

    - well it’s emerged tonight that after the drimcident when two poles were felled the skank revelled in it and high-5′d chums around him. also 2 girls in the gang summoned him thru txts; presumably thinking “he’s da maaan he’ll take care of this” - he actually handed himself over in complete confidence and in the presence of his oulfella. and maybe thats who gives him confidence…

  109. cullEy says:

    let me improvise on the involvement of the girls… the two chicks would’ve known they were pressing the big red destruct button upon hitting ’send sms’ that would summon this testosterone fuelled pubescent little monster beast desperate to impress them with his sickness. can we blame the girls? they knew what they were doing; who they were calling upon… he’s been mentioned to have been carried knives in the past, also prosecuted for it a few times.

    - they will have gone “oh-ey oh-ey ohh-ey, i’m tellin joey” quietly gloating in the fact that they could trigger such mayhem by merely manouvering a manicured nail over a keypad.
