It's absolutely disgusting that a crowd of absolute scumbags have decided to hijack an attack on your children and use it is a reason for arson, thuggery and looting.
It doesn't reflect the vast majority of Irish people who are appalled by their behaviour.
Yes, our streets and children should be safe but this isn't going to help or resolve anything.
Huge criminal damage done, transport shut down leaving many stranded or having to walk home during this, retail outlets destroyed just before black Friday, there are no winners here.
The friends and families of those injured, the emergency services personnel. I'm sure there's many households stressed and worried about loved ones tonight.
Nationality and race doesn't make someone carry out such acts. There's good and bad in every society. The man who dislodged the knife from this mam's gand and prevented further injuries was Brazilian which isn't mentioned at all.
It's absolutely awful what has happened tonight. Just awful. Nothing can justify anything that happened today.
We need touched jail sentences for criminal activity. We need garda to have body cameras, tazers etc. If we want them to deal with criminal activity, we need to equip them to do so.
