Gang of Neo-Nazis brings fear to city centre tourist spots

[Aindriu]

A neo-Nazi gang is congregating in Dublin's city centre, intimidating passers-by and singing anti-Semitic songs.
The gang has become a common sight in Dublin's tourist areas, including Temple Bar and St Stephen's Green.
One woman has claimed that she saw some members of a 20-strong gang set upon a black man.
She said: "They don't seem to care about race, age or sex. They are just picking on people."
She said members of the group wore dark clothes and some of them had the swastika symbol on their sleeves.
The woman said: "They were in camouflage pants, leather jackets, boots and shaved heads. They chased a friend of my boyfriend's through Rathmines."
The young troublemakers were aged between 15 and 20 years old, she said.

I would love it if they got 10 colours of sh*te kicked out of them. Scumbags.

[if not why not]

Them damn summer holidays are to blame.

Hardly the most inconspicuous group of lads, have the Gardai made any comments on the situation? They chased someone through Rathmines, not exactly the biggest of places, and a Garda station at the end of the road!

What a rubbish article . Its all hearsay .One witness 'suspects' they are part of some political group so its a fact yeah? My god what happened to the days when journalism was a respected occupation?

[lapsedmethodist]

Looks as if they're not exactly popular! Which, given the insane racist ramblings of some people here, is nice to know.

I experienced the same attacks during the last election ,but they were wearing normal clothes and most of them over 65 and living in middle class areas.

The thing about the article is that its all hearsay and most of the so called eyewitness accounts came from Boards.ie where they had a thread going a few weeks ago about this subject, in fact most of the article was taken from boards.ie, my god how low can a paper go and what kind of Journalists do they hire

How many Jews are there in Dublin?

Not many I would assume.

Isn't the Fringe Festival on around now? Perhaps this isn't a gang of Neo Nazis but a troupe of gay performance artists.
