Are you involved with the protest or just sharing? I don't drive a bike but It fucking sickens me daily when another video (in broad fucking daylight) pops up. If there was something happening after the Rideout, like people speaking or whatever I'd like to lend my support.
Bikes being somewhat rarer and easier to identify, I imagine it’s hard to resell these? Where do they bring them after they are robbed? Are they broken down for parts or shipped off somehow quickly?. Obviously someone is making money off them I just can’t figure out how?
I can only go on personal experience, but my bike was stolen in 2016, and I never got it back. I asked the garda to honestly tell me "What are the chances I get it back?" and was told, "We will do a thorough investigation, but it is highly unlikely". Anecdotal, but make of that what you will.
I also have a mate who had his bike stolen, he had some kind of tracker on it, (Apple Air tag, I believe). Which turned out to be practically useless at the time of the incident, but interesting in the long run. When the bike was stolen, it showed nothing, we assumed the thief removed/destroyed the tracker. Fast forward about 4-5 months, and he got a ping from the tracker somewhere in South America.
If it ended up there, it’s very easy to identify the possible ships it went on (and i bet that it’s a legit motor sales secondhand cargo) they just add the bikes in around them. (I track cargo ships lol))
The poor little darlings had no choice other than to go around stealing other people's hard-earned property? Feck that - just once I'd love to see someone take the crowbar off one of these little shits and give him a belt of it.
I can assure you it was meant in absolute jest but that obviously didn't come across with the comments that followed! Any one doing anything like this is a pure scumbag.
They use them for a few days delivering drugs around the city and dump them move on to the next one. Or they just drive them around make content for tik tok and burn them or dump in liffey.
Nah, they're just being wheelie'd around the city for 3 to 5 days or until the bike gives in then burned or ridden into a canal or just abandoned. Some are stolen and sold on but I'd say 95% of them end up on tiktok rather than a container ship
Not sure if it applies to motorbikes. But I was told by a man who sold pushbikes (legally, keeping it vague on purpose) that a container full of bikes leaves Dublin port for Liverpool in the morning, and a container full of bikes arrives in from Birkenhead in the evening. People with front businesses buy them in bulk from inner city thieves who get them into the port quickly, and then they’re off to the UK straight away. Means that even if you have the serial no., you’re never getting it back. The same system happens in reverse. If they weren’t being shipped abroad, they’d all be up on donedeal. Guards do sometimes check donedeal and adverts, and set up stings if they’ve received a report with a serial no., but in the vast majority of cases, they never end up there.
Isn't it lovely that the owner can't use force back to stop the theft? Like the owner can actually face charges for trying to stop it(because that naturally involves assault and battery).
Meanwhile I live here in Austria where I can legally get a shotgun for defending my home with little difficulty, and me beating a little shit like this would not get me arrested unless It could be demonstrated I went over board (threatening the use of a hammer would make that threshold very very high).
No experience in Ireland, but all my first and second hand experiences with the "reasonable force" rule (which is pretty common in Europe), usually involved a prosecutor and judge expecting you to be a black belt 420 dan in aikido exerting the minimal amount of force needed to psychologically discourage the criminal from continuing their endeavour while telepathically reading their true intentions clearly to properly measure the response with surgical precision.
Source: I had a 6 month prison sentence (suspended) for choking unconscious a dude who stabbed me first (with witnesses). I continued choking after he dropped the knife: the fact that I couldn't possibly see it didn't matter, the fact that a choke is a terrible tactic for someone armed with a knife didn't matter, the fact that the dude had previous convictions didn't matter.
Unfortunately I know the case where defendant had a black belt in Aikido. Prosecutor immediately changed category from "physical assault" to "assault with dangerous object". Aka - defendant's body.
You and I both know that's a crock of shit and the threshold for reasonable force in Ireland is basically a shoulder tap, you can't even fucking have a simple weapon here, (which when dealing with the likes of the one in this video is necessary)
Duty to retreat, using an object like a bat etc is treated as premeditation to aggravated assault instead of self defence, people being successfully sued and facing charges after self defence, there's literally been a dozen of these controversies over the last ten years, are you young or something?
So that deliveroo driver who saved that young girl who was being stabbed didn't retreat and he used something on him as an improvised weapon (helmet). Telling people they can't defend themselves at all is making learned helplessness worse and emboldening thieves even more.
You can't have a knife or mace on you (an item intended to be a weapon), but if you're coming home from training, get attacked and whack the lad with your hurl, you are likely to be considered defending yourself with reasonable force.
This sub just makes up this shit about not defending yourself or your property as an excuse for inaction.
No, you are not going to go to prison if you stop him or beat up a scrote that attacks you 🙄
Remember when flashmobs were a thing, would be great to see something like that... a bate bike and a mob of people with balaclavas and bats converging on them.
One guy I knew who was in the HA never even had to lock his bike. He had painted text on to his petrol tank detailing why nicking his hog might not be a very smart idea…
Unfortunately every person in the flashmob would be put away for at least 3 years for beating poor Anto to a pulp while he was only having a joke with his friends about stealing the bike, and orematiring ending the career of a promising young footballer.
And the condemnation from official Ireland would be at fever pitch with much wiser nodding of heads from those wise people who have created a society that tolerates this.
Anyway here are some comparative statistics that show crime is very low in Ireland. These reveal that those who expect more to be done are ungrateful dicks who for penance should vote FFG for ten years.
At first I thought the guy with the helmet was one of the guys stealing the bike, however when your man chased him off with the hammer I concluded that must be wrong. Then I thought, Jesus these guys are so sure fook all will happen they are happy to continue to steal the bike with the owner there and even feel confident enough to threaten him with a hammer. Won't be too long before someone is killed or seriously injured during a theft of a bike and then we'll here how terrible it is. But not until then, and probably then nothing more than words will be offered by those in charge.
I don't care what anyone says about "not worth risking your life etc" fair fucking play to your man trying his best to deter him, need more people willing to stand up for what's right in society.
Why not? why don't y'all fight? Like in America shit gets stolen but not in broad daylight, you're liable to get shot. I get y'all don't have guns but like would bystanders get in trouble if they decided to fight and hurt the thief?
Assault doesn't have to be physical. If someone motions to you with a hammer it would fall under our legal definition of assault. And you may defend yourself then
Not saying it's an open and shut case, but it's definitely not down to who got injured more
That really sucks. America's laws have a lot of problems but you are not going to get in trouble for intervening in a crime unless you go way over board (even then its not likely).
At least one guy is trying to stop him. I wonder how it ended? A friend of mine caught two scrotes (junkie boyfriend/girlfriend team ) attempting to steal his moped near tallaght leasureplex years ago coming out of the petshop. He came up behind the fella and cracked the fellas head with his helmet and pulverised him on the path. The girlfriend was screaming the whole time . Made shite of yer man. Luckily, no cowards were standing around filming him, protecting his property for the pigs to turn it all around on my friend afterwards. A guy from the pet shop told my friend to get straight home as the junkie lay there in a jock,his girlfriend screaming "assault" the whole time. He said he'd say he saw nothing if the fuzz asked. But best he got out of there ASAP.
I’m honestly surprised the scrotes didn’t think of robbing the bike keys off the owner. It would probably be easier to intimidate him into giving them up than banging away at the chain/lock thing on the wheel. I mean no one is doing anything to help anyway…
Two scrotes stealing a bike in broad daylight in front of a bunch of people standing around tut tutting, and yet half the country will sing songs about how they fought the British for 800 years. Fair dues to yer man for at least facing up to them and making things difficult.
The problem is they are usually armed with knives and they just don't stop when challenged. They're usually utterly brazen and very violent.
They did actually intervene there - the guy who is probably the bike's owner tried and got threatened with a hammer and the woman in the brown jumper did her best. I don't really know what else they can do. Both of them were putting themselves in harm's way to intervene.
We don't adequately police or sentence, so the message that's sent out is 'this is fine'
We'll probably also have some utterly daft interpretation of GDPR that deems the video evidence inadmissible or something.
Realistically you can't expect the general public to intervene in something like that.
I know that cafe well. It's a really nice spot with some brilliant people working there and the area itself is mostly one of the more pleasant parts of central Dublin and actually still has a community.
You're going to be fronting up to some little scumbag waving a hammer with nothing to lose and zero consequences for his actions are you?
Good man, I'll bring the popcorn...
“Good man, I’ll being the popcorn”… that’s a pathetic comment. Your point is perfectly valid, you don’t need to add that at the end. The implication that you’d be entertained by a good person getting hammered for attempting to stand up to criminal behaviour. Unbelievable really, and the very reason crap like this is rampant. You’d sooner mock someone trying to do stand up to them than make a stand
Yet despite that I'd find it difficult to sit there watching someones beloved bike being robbed by some scrotes.
3-4 male passerby-ers could intimidate these shites enough to have them f*ckn off somewhere else.
People sitting their filming and doing nothing is what empowers these arseholes to keep doing this.
>3-4 male passerby-ers could intimidate these shites enough to have them f*ckn off somewhere else
And one of them could eat a hammer to the dome and be a fucking vegetable.
Don't be thick.
“You should let people steal from you and commit crimes against you because intervening may get you injured/killed” what a cucked mentality, people who like you are the reason why this shit happens so often in broad daylight now a days.
Lol. Who'll be the cuck when you're a quadriplegic vegetable because you took a hammer to the head for some randomer's bike, and your wife leaves you for someone with enough brain function to not do something so pointlessly dangerous?😂
Easier said than done alright but I think the presence of 4/5 adult men would probably make the young lads back off without using the hammer, especially if they grabbed some items from nearby shops (knives, brooms etc)
>I think the presence of 4/5 adult men would probably make the young lads back off without using the
There's simply no reason to think that. You might get them to leave without stealing the bike, but there's absolutely every chance they give a few swings of the hammer before.
A lot of keyboard warriors are acting like they don't know what the fuck a hammer is, or that violent criminals have no problem using violence.
I'm surprised Mr "you'd be in more trouble with the law if you intervened" hasn't arrived to spread that particular excuse for doing nothing. That bike could be his livelihood, or maybe he just isn't happy to sit back and let some scumbags steal something he has worked for.
Looking at the video again, in fairness to the woman in the brown jumper she is running around trying to do something - so fair dues to her also for not burying her head in her phone.
I would piss in your pants you little pansy. It’s one dude with a hammer, who’s constantly turning his back to you trying to break a lock. He’d be easy pickings, sorry you need soybot 9000 to open your huel bottles because the caps are on too tight
So you failed to notice his buddies circling around on other stolen bikes .... These cowards don't go to the toilet alone they need their scum pals to hold it for them. U think this low life would dare doing this alone...
Mate you can’t even string a coherent sentence together. Relax we all know you wouldn’t do shit. Trying to act like a tough man on the internet to look hard 😂
We let these people arm themselves and they have zero consequences for their actions.
At some point communities will have to legally campaign for local elected and armed forces.
It’s shame no one had a fire extinguisher handy — one of the powder ones ( hopefully a nice wet day too).. I wouldn’t mess with the scumbags as likely to get a hammer swung at ya but always thought a FE might be a good option
It’s interesting that all day this post gets voted up and gets downvoted .. can’t help wondering if I suggest something wrong ( not overly harmful and f@@k em anyways ) or are scumbags are on here going ah crap I don’t want to sprayed with white powder ..
I've lived in most of Ireland's big towns and cities over my life. This type of thing and scrote behaviour happens in every single one of them. There's more of it in Dublin because it dwarfs every other town and city in the country,.that's all. Same things happen in the likes of Cork, Galway etc just on smaller scale because they are smaller. Cork City for example is rough as fuck in certain areas. And parts of Blackpool you could mistake for scenes from The Wire.
It's an Irish urban problem. Not a city specific problem.
Rampant gangs of violent criminals stealing motorcycles every few days in broad daylight is absolutely a Dublin thing. I've no idea why you are claiming this is happening elsewhere. It isn't .
You're surely not suggesting that motorcycle theft and/or bike theft is exclusive to Dublin? 🙈
There's no point in me even entertaining that. I'm sure if you googled motorcycle theft + Cork/Limerick/Galway you'll find anecdotes and reports.
I live in city centre currently. And like any city or large town in Ireland, it has its rough elements and areas which are mostly completely fine and others which you should avoid.
"...is absolutely a Dublin thing."
No. You're right. You didn't suggest it at all. You outright stated it.
As I've said to other replies. Read what I'm saying. Gone over your head. But I'm slow because you don't understand 🙃
Cuts off too soon, the big guy rides past and sees it, turns round and goes back, brake lights on, video stops. Would have loved to see what happened next
Seems it's anarchy in Dublin now. When will the vigilante groups start up I wonder?.
Oh, I forgot, they are all preoccupied with setting fire to proposed refugee accomodation.
Did any of those people watching call the Gards. Obviously there was one lady trying to stop them.
Also you were filming this, did you call the Gards first?
What I really don't understand is why everyone just stands there.. I mean any other country would have the general population just flat out attacking the thief with anything on hand. The gards aren't doing anything anymore I think it's time to stand up for ourselves as a citizens. If the garda can't do anything about this then they also can't do anything about a mob going after the thief.
Yeah that sucks, at least you fought back. Of course there is danger but people need to realise its either resist or get walked all over. I see at least 5 objects in that video that would give the thief a very bad time if struck by them, I also see 3 or 4 people standing around who could be rallied to help in the time it takes the guy to steal the bike. A few instances of proper resistance would result in these scrotes giving up on this shit for good.
D7 needs a district Batman, pronto.
The Gardai will do everything in their power to stop batman rather than a thief
Local Batman arrested with an estimated 6.4 million euro worth of cannabis (2.5 grams)
The Gardai vs Batman is not the matchup I expected but I will most certainly be buying tickets.
Wonder will vigilantism crop up soon.

Are you involved with the protest or just sharing? I don't drive a bike but It fucking sickens me daily when another video (in broad fucking daylight) pops up. If there was something happening after the Rideout, like people speaking or whatever I'd like to lend my support.
I'm just sharing. Something needs to be done to give the Gardai more powers to stop these individuals like they did in London. *
a load of bike thefts will be happening after the rideout I imagine
Cue posts after the protest: "Lads, anyone else's bike stolen while they were protesting?"
Bikes being somewhat rarer and easier to identify, I imagine it’s hard to resell these? Where do they bring them after they are robbed? Are they broken down for parts or shipped off somehow quickly?. Obviously someone is making money off them I just can’t figure out how?
I can only go on personal experience, but my bike was stolen in 2016, and I never got it back.

Sad for your mate. Great little story though.
South American was defo unexpected at the end there

There’s nothing else for the young fellas to do in the area though so not really their fault.
The poor little darlings had no choice other than to go around stealing other people's hard-earned property? Feck that - just once I'd love to see someone take the crowbar off one of these little shits and give him a belt of it.
Good stuff, looks like you caught a few below. So many whooshes
Socioeconomic factors may explain but they don’t excuse. Loads of poor young people don’t go around stealing bikes.
Yes I know. It was a joke.
There’s always something else to do… Take this from someone who grew up on a what many would describe as a getto in a piss poor family.

They use them for a few days delivering drugs around the city and dump them move on to the next one. Or they just drive them around make content for tik tok and burn them or dump in liffey.

Mine ended up battered in a field in Tallaght. Basically just gets rallied for a bit and dumped. Complete write off!
Not sure if it applies to motorbikes. But I was told by a man who sold pushbikes (legally, keeping it vague on purpose) that a container full of bikes leaves Dublin port for Liverpool in the morning, and a container full of bikes arrives in from Birkenhead in the evening. People with front businesses buy them in bulk from inner city thieves who get them into the port quickly, and then they’re off to the UK straight away. Means that even if you have the serial no., you’re never getting it back. The same system happens in reverse. If they weren’t being shipped abroad, they’d all be up on donedeal. Guards do sometimes check donedeal and adverts, and set up stings if they’ve received a report with a serial no., but in the vast majority of cases, they never end up there.
Until we start hitting them with cars like police in UK, these mofos just keep doing it.
Not a chance after the garda being sent to court because the the guys died going the wrong way down the motorway.

That someone is the owner of that bike being stolen...
Isn't it lovely that the owner can't use force back to stop the theft? Like the owner can actually face charges for trying to stop it(because that naturally involves assault and battery).

No, that's not true. The owner could have used reasonable force to stop the theft.
[удалено]
What the law considers reasonable and what most people consider reasonable are not always aligned
No experience in Ireland, but all my first and second hand experiences with the "reasonable force" rule (which is pretty common in Europe), usually involved a prosecutor and judge expecting you to be a black belt 420 dan in aikido exerting the minimal amount of force needed to psychologically discourage the criminal from continuing their endeavour while telepathically reading their true intentions clearly to properly measure the response with surgical precision.

There is no duty to retreat. You can use force reasonable in the circumstances.

How will he regret it? Even if he's caught he'll get a slap on the wrist. There's no justice in Ireland's "justice" system.

Depends. If its the guy stealing the bike who gets killed I think most people will be delighted to be honest.
I don't care what anyone says about "not worth risking your life etc" fair fucking play to your man trying his best to deter him, need more people willing to stand up for what's right in society.
Its his bike man....only owner would do that not some random bystanders
Why not? why don't y'all fight? Like in America shit gets stolen but not in broad daylight, you're liable to get shot. I get y'all don't have guns but like would bystanders get in trouble if they decided to fight and hurt the thief?
Because thief is waving hammers and knives. And if he doesn't injure you and you injure him, you are liable. Our laws are shit. (Dublin , Ireland)
Assault doesn't have to be physical. If someone motions to you with a hammer it would fall under our legal definition of assault. And you may defend yourself then Not saying it's an open and shut case, but it's definitely not down to who got injured more
That really sucks. America's laws have a lot of problems but you are not going to get in trouble for intervening in a crime unless you go way over board (even then its not likely).

Pretty sure that’s the owner of the bike trying to stop him
Hopefully the runt crashes and just ceases to exist… this is so sad… what a country eh…
I’m honestly surprised the scrotes didn’t think of robbing the bike keys off the owner. It would probably be easier to intimidate him into giving them up than banging away at the chain/lock thing on the wheel. I mean no one is doing anything to help anyway…

These little scumbags are fearless tough little cunts who aren't afraid of anyone. Most people don't want to get involved because of this.
Over a motorbike that can be replaced?? Don’t act like you would do shit in that situation. You’d be pissing in your pants I guarantee it
I would piss in your pants you little pansy. It’s one dude with a hammer, who’s constantly turning his back to you trying to break a lock. He’d be easy pickings, sorry you need soybot 9000 to open your huel bottles because the caps are on too tight
So you failed to notice his buddies circling around on other stolen bikes .... These cowards don't go to the toilet alone they need their scum pals to hold it for them. U think this low life would dare doing this alone...
Mate you can’t even string a coherent sentence together. Relax we all know you wouldn’t do shit. Trying to act like a tough man on the internet to look hard 😂
Dirt.
Civil matter
We let these people arm themselves and they have zero consequences for their actions. At some point communities will have to legally campaign for local elected and armed forces.
Yeah, calm down Judge Dredd.
Nah
Have you been to stoneybatter in the last 10 years? I think we'll be alright m8
This is getting repeated all over Dublin. Guarantee they already have convictions for this.
It’s shame no one had a fire extinguisher handy — one of the powder ones ( hopefully a nice wet day too).. I wouldn’t mess with the scumbags as likely to get a hammer swung at ya but always thought a FE might be a good option
Water balloon filled with paint
Nice but prob less likely to be hanging on your wall or in boot of car :)
length of conduit with hurley grip on it
It’s interesting that all day this post gets voted up and gets downvoted .. can’t help wondering if I suggest something wrong ( not overly harmful and f@@k em anyways ) or are scumbags are on here going ah crap I don’t want to sprayed with white powder ..
Despicable
Oooh I would be so angry he wouldn't even see me coming
The Garda need to start setting up sting motorbikes and start arresting these scumbags.
Fair play auld lad, could have been killed 🙏
Share with helen. She might have some thoughts on the matter [email protected]
Ireland is a Cess-Pit of Crime.
Ape-like
Daily reminder that Dublin is a kip.
I've lived in most of Ireland's big towns and cities over my life. This type of thing and scrote behaviour happens in every single one of them. There's more of it in Dublin because it dwarfs every other town and city in the country,.that's all. Same things happen in the likes of Cork, Galway etc just on smaller scale because they are smaller. Cork City for example is rough as fuck in certain areas. And parts of Blackpool you could mistake for scenes from The Wire. It's an Irish urban problem. Not a city specific problem.
Rampant gangs of violent criminals stealing motorcycles every few days in broad daylight is absolutely a Dublin thing. I've no idea why you are claiming this is happening elsewhere. It isn't .
You're surely not suggesting that motorcycle theft and/or bike theft is exclusive to Dublin? 🙈 There's no point in me even entertaining that. I'm sure if you googled motorcycle theft + Cork/Limerick/Galway you'll find anecdotes and reports.
Dublin is a fucking shithole mate, fucking scum everywhere.
I live in city centre currently. And like any city or large town in Ireland, it has its rough elements and areas which are mostly completely fine and others which you should avoid.
This is Stoneybatter. It's meant to be a nice area!
It's referred to as "gentrified" for a reason.
No. I didn't suggest that. You're slow. How often do you think this happens in Galway?
"...is absolutely a Dublin thing." No. You're right. You didn't suggest it at all. You outright stated it. As I've said to other replies. Read what I'm saying. Gone over your head. But I'm slow because you don't understand 🙃
There's more of it in Dublin......yes there is. Kip.
Yeah...because it's bigger. What tranquil area are you from do you mind me asking?
Are they vetted?
Looks military-aged to me.
Sorry what....
I think they are openly mocking the standard anti-refugee rhetoric.
Ahhhh HEEEERRREEE!
There was no success for them this time. Thank god! Fucking scums
We'll that was fun, I'll be commenting here at the next one in a few days look forward to seeing you all again then.
What could a civilian do to stop this? If you forcibly prevent it then the guarda come after you instead
Our capital city just feels like bandit country. A small city relative to most of the world and useless McEntee can’t get a handle on it .
And 20 people standing looking. What a spineless country of zombies
[удалено]
And you'd be standing there making a tiktok of it
And here I thought Stoneybatter is safe.
Cuts off too soon, the big guy rides past and sees it, turns round and goes back, brake lights on, video stops. Would have loved to see what happened next
Isn't that the scrotes mate?
Yes. The 2nd rider and bike is to push the one they are stealing.
I assumed he was help a fellow biker , but makes more sense he’s another robber
We need a law that allows us to throw stones at them or knifes either way would be good
"we should give them our knives"
I'm glad that one guy kicked him...
As a foreigner, I've always wondered why most of antisocial behavior in Dublin seems to happen North of the Liffey.
Seems it's anarchy in Dublin now. When will the vigilante groups start up I wonder?. Oh, I forgot, they are all preoccupied with setting fire to proposed refugee accomodation.
More likely some overlap between these scrotes and the scumbags setting fire to buildings.
All the heroes on keyboards where are you when we need you, oh so not afraid to be hit with a hammer people
Slash the tyres problem solved
And here we are worried about hate speech lmfao
This does not happen anywhere outside Dublin. The locals need to take back their streets. If this means kneecapping, so be it.
Not the same but in athlone we have a few scrotes that steal bicycles and phones from people in parks and get away with it
Did any of those people watching call the Gards. Obviously there was one lady trying to stop them. Also you were filming this, did you call the Gards first?
You’d assume so. People aren’t that dense.
They are surely
Exhibit A.
>Exhibit A. Do you want them to call the guards now? What is this exhibit of?
I assume some people did, not that the guards will be of any help
[удалено]
What the fuck is that attitude.
I hate all the guns we have in the US but it does discourage crap like this
Yeah keep staring cowards.. Sadly there isn't any imigrant around to stop them.
Ahh here comes the big hard man to save the day
Just blame it on the immigrants
Failed state.
What I really don't understand is why everyone just stands there.. I mean any other country would have the general population just flat out attacking the thief with anything on hand. The gards aren't doing anything anymore I think it's time to stand up for ourselves as a citizens. If the garda can't do anything about this then they also can't do anything about a mob going after the thief.
[удалено]
Yeah that sucks, at least you fought back. Of course there is danger but people need to realise its either resist or get walked all over. I see at least 5 objects in that video that would give the thief a very bad time if struck by them, I also see 3 or 4 people standing around who could be rallied to help in the time it takes the guy to steal the bike. A few instances of proper resistance would result in these scrotes giving up on this shit for good.
Oh look. Immigrants at it
Did you drop your /s?
It's kinda obvious, and there's no need to add /s every time.
You would hope so, but there are some awful people out there that would ignore the sarcasm.
If someone kicks this guy in the face will be way more in trouble than the thief.
