Very stupid people. They didn't realise they disrupted nationalist minded people that wanted to travel by train to Dublin for the Easter commemorations

The irony, the irony.

I am not Making a Point just saying that one has been Charged with Riotous Behavior! Maybe when they go to Court we will find out what they were Rioting about ? maybe too much buck fast and nothing better to do than annoy other people who knows?

Well clearly not being parents and actually being aware of what their children are doing? Or perhaps showing a bit of leadership and maturity and discouraging such activities?

And bearing in mind most of them hadnt the wit to cover their faces, and allowed themselves to be recorded on camera, i'd be fairly certain they're rounding up the right people.

Their parents might be encouraging them. Most people I knew who got "involved" during the troubles came from families who had a tradition of extremism.

Do you not think if that was the case they would have known to cover their Faces ? Just a thought

Some people are a bit stupid. It's why they get caught.

Even if they are convicted, very little will happen - very young, first offence.

It says they were exhibiting riotous behaviour not that they were rioting i.e. protesting against anything.

All the more reason to kick their asses if it was just "for fun"

Its a common flash point and half term. Sadly thats all the reasoning some people need.

Such a waste of resources, money, time for everyone else concerned.

Criminal record - hardly ideal as young people going out into the employment world.

Then of course that will be them being "oppressed" by the system when they cant get work because of it
