I think new rathmines resident is going to be disapointed. Indymedia is not interested in what happens to ordinary people. if they were they were they would discuss issues such as single women and old people being terrorised in corporation estates by young thugs.
I doubt this was linked to a racist attack. There are loads of attacks ongoing around the city against all shops like breaking the windows which seems to be a common source of naughty behaviour. Probably fuelled by alcohol. Interesting enough Indy. M mentioned this attack, I hope they equally mention other attacks on other shops too.
The staff did not state that it was racially motivated, but the fact remains that this premises has been attacked on numerous occasions . The heavy security glass had to be breached by a heavy implement, it was shattered in three or four places. It was not a spontaneous bout of drunken behaviour. The person or persons who carried it out had to find such an implement and apply force and pressure to the surface. Neither was it reported to the gardai this morning by passersby, though dangerous shards of glass up to a foot long were hanging onto the street. The staff did not want to comment except to say that it had happened before and one of the younger guys was very upset. The building is well known in the area as a call centre used by the immigrant community for international calls. The intention of the attacker as far as I can see was to upset the staff of the centre, who wd have found it shattered at opening time at 10am. This may not be racially motivated but the clear intention was to vandalise and create chaos at the beginning of their working day, that is a form of hate crime, as far as I am concerned. That wd be why it was reported here.
'vandalism of all streetside buildings is commonplace in late-night Rathmines.'
True but do you have first hand knowledge that this is only that?
I will wait for more reporting on this event before i decide.
This has nothing to do with the race of the owners/workers of this shop. Window-smashing and other vandalism of all streetside buildings is commonplace in late-night Rathmines.
The bill for the broken window should be sent to Tramco, whose unscrupulous management allow their clientele get as pissed as they like then go on the rampage.
