Some absolute scumbag lit a homeless person’s few belongings on fire last night in Dublin city centre heartbreaking. fortunately, volunteers were out at the time to help the victim.
Anyone?

Everything. As It Happens.
Jesus – what type of nihilist psychopath would you have to be to do something like that?
hey, it’s all allowed now – trump, brexit etc. you’re nothing unless you’re a right wing bigot. all them hipsters will be sporting the ‘adolf’ soon, wait and see…
Nearby business owners. It’s happened before. Most attacks on homeless are carried out by “nice respectable chaps from good families” on their way home after a night on the coke.
The company I work for in London destroyed a homeless person’s belonging by covering them in bleach to stop him from sleeping rough out the back. Another member of staff who had been giving him food told me he was devastated, hopefully what goes around will come around for the two involved.
Oh my God! May they have no luck for doing that. Destroying the little he had. Scumbags. I hope you find a new job somewhere better soon because if that’s how they treat homeless people, they are not good people and can’t be very nice to their staff.
There are way too many verified facts in this posting. The fake news on Facebook is more credible. But, whatever roasts your chestnuts I guess.
what exactly do you take issue with?!
All of it that isn’t verified. Is that ok? Or should I just pass reason and go straight to outrage?
how about you have some humanity and take the word of people who go out in the freezing cold several nights a week to make sure the city’s homeless get hot food and warm clothes? why so suspicious, dude?
Someone was seen set this on fire?
looks like it, yeah…i can see a comment on the original post where one of the volunteers saw “the kids that did this”?
Because I’m an adult sweetie. And this is the internet.
Yes, somebody was seen setting it on fire. Young lads acting the ladypart.
Oh, ok so….. If it says so in the comments then fair enough. Journal- ism….
if you want journalism with hard copy notes, go read the Irish Times. this is a submission from a reader, not a journalist. if you don’t know the difference…
That was my point sweetie.
Did you help yourself or just take photos
Yeah because there was no time to take a split second photo amid the towering inferno.
Heather clearly didn’t take the picture, it is credited to Tony Walsh. And if you took as much time to click on the source as you did to post that comment, you would see that yes, yes he did help out. In fact that is why he was there in the first place.

“…Few belongings…”
That’s the content of my attic, that is.
Hey look at that homeless guy and all that stuff he has.
This place is just taking on the same ‘Fcuk you’ zeitgeist as Justine McCarthy wrote about in the Sunday Times last week.
Who did it? Any proof? Yer man probably did it himself. WTF’ingF
You probably did it.
Where was human last night???
