200 protest outside Roma family's house in Waterford.

[Rachel Divine]

Someone correct me if I am wrong, I think the gipsy mentality is far from job, nice house,quiet and moral living.

This race is all over the world and I don't know of them to live in other way.

My two cents worth it.

Thats a good article and as I said in my other post the issue has been highlighted lets hope the problem is solved in a diplomatic manner from here on.

I'm indifferent to the so called Roma community. I see them around begging and sometimes being a mild annoyance when your trying to remember your pin at ATM machines!!
I tend to just say "Sorry I have no change and they politely move on" and I have never felt intimidated by them.
And they're not the only ethnic minority or race to beg for money. I've meet a few Irish ones in my time and I can smell where they spent their few quid!!

Btw I always assumed that Romas were from Romania so thanks to Lucy and Annabel for curing me of my ignorance regarding this topic, but it doesn't effect my stance with them.

I'm more concerned about this mob mentality that people think is acceptable in this day and age. Where are we... Gotham!!#

It's a pity that the people that found the time energy and resources to organise a Mob, that they couldn't have picked a real target like a crime lord.
Maybe the easy target was a safer option!!

Incidentally the one time I have being mugged and robbed, the youths looked a lot like some of the hoodied youths seen at the protest!!

I have said it before and I will say it again, it's dangerous to generalise.

I'm sure you meant to say "Romas" Rachel. We don't want you to incur the full wrath of the PC brigade

How many people protested and seeked out the gang of youths who threw a petrol bomb into a house last week in waterford injuring two young children

You compared the plight of the Roma to that of migrant escorts Bluefan. We do actually work.

Lucy, I get accused here of being too precise (which leads to accusations of being condescending) but I am precise in my choice of words so that there can be no doubt as to my meaning. So, you either didn't read what I said correctly or your position on this topic is blinding you?

This is what I actually said in relation to migrant escorts:

The same people who attack the Roma family would be the first to also ask:

I on the other hand have been the most supportive of migrant escorts, in both words and action, and it would be nice of you to withdraw your above comment.
