I go into town on the first Tuesday of the month to attend the meeting of the society of Irish magicians.
Do you know that magic is a disappearing art?
It is great fun and next February I hope to go to the worlds biggest festival of magic in Blackpool England. It is huge 150 magic dealers and magicians giving lectures and two huge magic shows as well as competitions.
Well if you put in "Streets of Philadelphia on YouTube you will see a society falling apart.
Dublin is heading that way quicker than we know. The only difference is that it is not quite as bad. My bus empties out on Talbot St. and straight away you can see the thugs and junkies walking around.
People begging right up to and into O'Connell St. I saw a young girl crying with a paper cup in her hand at Cathedral Place. I looked into her face. Tears streaming down and I swear that she was no older than 12 years old.
On my return there was a young man and woman begging for food. "If you want just pay, we are not junkies"
At that point a girl of around 15 was being led away my an adult man. I bet he is not going to show her his Pokiman cards either.
The law? There is no law.
Go to amazon where you can buy a self defense shock thing. Then you feel safe.
Years ago I reported a mentally handicapped girl was being sexually abused by her minder. Every Garda station in the area the facility where she was being "cared" for the only response I could get was that there was nothing they could do without them seeing it themselves. I asked how would they solve a murder?
Another one was my friend John was dropping people off in Templeogue and a young blonde kid ran up to him. "Please Please mister. Help me ! Bring me back home to my parents, I do not belong here"
With that a Romanian man with little English ran over and dragged him away. "He always making jokes"
John went to the Garda where he was told that they could not act without a missing persons report.
So John and I went back to kidnap him and one of the neighbors came out. They recognized John from the night before and said that the family had moved out that morning.Well perhaps they did have something to hide.
From the 10th the European leaders are meeting in Dublin.
Have you ever seen the convoy of SUVs heading down the road ?
