@ScottLucas I lived in Ireland about 10 years ago for grad school. Although I was never physically attacked (others were though), the tracksuit kids constantly yelled racial slurs which made me and a lot of the other foreign students feel unwelcomed. Since the Garda never did anything about it, this was eventually going to spillover into overt violence. I'm not a fan of overly punitive policing but there needs to be actual consequences or the perpetrators will just be emboldened and do it again
