ONE love, blood, life
It really has...........Im sure Lara Mullen will agree..........I know its not necessary to post this but I really feel the need to share and Im not looking for sympathy or anything, I just wanna get it off my chest..........
To me this city has gone downhill rapidly, esp since the Orange Parade was not allowed to walk down Garvaghy.......the tension between both communities has worsened and two nights ago a man was shot in the head round the corner from my brother, who has a slight mental disability, (and of course this has made him more nervous and he may become unwell again through feeling scared when he had a fantastic run of being in excellent mood, this will be a shame, for him...)......anyway, I forgot about this incident had happened and last night going up that way was stopped for 'ID Checks' and I actually felt a bit on edge......I thought they started doing routine checks again which they did when the Troubles were around........until I was reminded they are looking for somebody................and I checked on my brother while there and he was a little unwell..............the guy was shot for his religion.......paramilitary attack.
anyway...........also, this trouble u hear about in Short Strand? Well, police only start to patrol or stay there when crowds get big - as I say, some nights it is bad, some nights very quiet........its strange............but police arent there all the time now and yesterday driving home through that area, the two communites of teenagers (lets see, maybe a group of 10 on one side and 15 on the other) started throwing bricks, stones, bottles at each other amongst tea-time traffic!!!!!!!! ( I know, all of u out there must be tinkin, 'but Maddie, it could be worse luv, get a grip, more danger in other cities!' - and ur right.........but like, it feels bad enough, in fact, its the sickening reality that nothing here will get better).........Now, I and lots of other drivers were just up stopped at the lights while these fukers were doing what they were doing......and I just put me fukin foot down and drove through them fast, in order to try and get through with risk.....in the hope my car would not get hit by bricks/stones..........and I was lucky, but I could see other drivers hesitating with nerves and I really felt for them, wanting to turn their cars and go another route -for kids like that are unpredictable.........................no police were there but Im sure they arrived soon after to cordon the groups off more, or stop the traffic..........but I was shaking with fright going through cause it scared me................it would anybody innocent......
Im fuking sick of it!!!!!!!!!
F.U.C.K.I.N.G SICK OF IT!!!!!!!!
like 80% others here....
and then kids who walk on the crossing and just dither with their mates and then stand in front of u when the lights are green. This happened to me the other night.......and it really pissed me off, I was so tempted to get out and punch the little fucker, and I wouldnt think twice about doin it! Nor would I care if I was locked up for it, for I'd do anything now to teach little brats like that a lesson, I would not think twice with anger built up in me about punching them til they were bleeding, I would not think twice about pinning them up against a wall with my car...........I just would not think twice........I would never do it of course, but through frustration built up I've felt like crossing that line..............Im sure some of u have been there............
But he just stood there, burger in gob dithering extrememly slowly while I blew my horn then HAD to manouvre round him..........I wasnt gonna fucking waste time...........nearly anywhere u go, there are lots like this, same attitude......they dont give a fuck, nor respect anything anymore, they would mug a pensioner or tease a handicapped person endlessly......where did good manners go? Where did respect go? Why are these kids out in these streets bored and choosing to attack or be destructive? Believe me, Ive seen a LOT of it..............so dont nobody say Im blind.
Folks it really is nasty here these days......................its like, Belfast is being run by teenagers.........nasty ignorant violant teenagers.........who drink, do drugs.......etc......
I hate it here now.........10 years ago, it was NEVER as bad as I see it now.................
It truly is becoming, or rather, HAS become a 'dive' for kids to hang out in...........only 30% of the city would be decent for tourists now...........................its lost all its morality..........
This city aint big enough and its now packing itself out with all the above..........just gettin worse and worse.........Bigger cities can have trouble on the outside, Belfast is so small its moving from outside to middle so fast......in fact.......the whole city is violence now.........
sorry, Im just feelin down about it.......I am NOT expecting any replies from yas, or sympathy, as I said............I just wanted to express my angerness and frustration
yet, loads of pple still love this city..........
strange............
sorry
Im done now............just nobody expect this place to get any better................for I live here, and I DONT see it.............thank u.
