Yikes!
This morning.

Gardaí recently arrested two males in Dublin city centre for being in possession of these knives. Both men have been charged and are due to appear in the CCJ later this month.
The Bic (left) is shown for size and is not a weapon.
Any excuse.
FIGHT!

is the biro not mightier than the stanley knife?
Both effective box cutters.
Are they not utility knives?
yea. just a couple of handy men going for a walk probably. You’re name is Aido on here, but are you Judge Martin Nolan in real life?
I imagine this is all about context as there are probably lots of people wandering around with knives like these about their person for a variety of legitimate reasons.
….with a pencil.

It’s a Bic™, not a biro™.
Or is it a stylo a bic?

hajaj, that’s advanced weapons knowledge, I don’t have the training !
somewhere, just now, laszlo bíró felt a soft wave of happiness pass over him
Very sad to hear that the woman who was slashed with a blade at the IFSC last month, died today.
Yes, very sad indeed. RIP.
There has been a dangerous increase of crime in the city centre during the various lockdowns. Anyone that has ventured into town recently may have observed a grim atmosphere, more suspicious characters around, targeted harassment from beggars, illegal trading and no-go areas. Sad to witness.
Very sad about that lady.
A pal of mine lives in the IFSC, he was telling me that the place is just full of weirdos now. He thinks they where probably always there, but the lack of other people around has had a filtering effect.
In the space of 10 mins last week, three separate people all off their heads came up to him to ask for a smoke and (or) to just “have a chat”
One told him he was the reincarnation of Jesus Christ :)
Some intricate stories you’re telling today, Micko.
The Waterford way is/was to put two blades into the stanley knife, separated by a matchstick. Made a nasty cut that can’t be stitched.
Delightful.
Couldn’t believe how viscious a place Waterford could be when I moved to the county in the ’80’s.
The Irish son of Lord Watford.
Er, illegitimate son.
This is terrible. This kind of knife culture being adapted by teens and young men. It will end up like the hell holes of London. The Gards and social workers need to step up. Maybe invest in these communities?
Which hell holes of London? I’m genuinely interested to know which parts of London have been designated as such
I heard the tube is hell – never got that. Would have thought the destination rather than the mode of transport could be decribed as such.
It can be hell down there, especially if there is an issue during rush hour! I remember having to deal with a drunk on a stuck overcrowded Victoria line at 7am – that was no fun….
