Comments on: Dublin Bus routes disrupted by thugs http://busrage.com/2008/07/18/dublin-bus-routes-disrupted-by-thugs/ It's time for an exact change Thu, 04 Dec 2008 04:45:42 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6 By: Al http://busrage.com/2008/07/18/dublin-bus-routes-disrupted-by-thugs/#comment-77 Al Fri, 18 Jul 2008 19:32:00 +0000 http://busrage.com/?p=107#comment-77 They back down to the criminals too much. Even in the most dangerous parts of New York City, MTA bus service is never diverted like this, nor in any other US city that I've ever heard of. The guards need to have the shackles lifted off them, to deal with thugs like this in the manner that they ought to be dealt with. Hope this doesn't create an excuse to allow police from other countries to supervise the bus routes in Dublin; the EU just <a href="http://www.dw-world.de/dw/article/0,2144,3467913,00.html" rel="nofollow">announced</a> that member states can deploy police to other countries, initially to "protect tourist hot spots", but it's also "part of wider EU efforts to…integrate EU justice systems into a tighter network", whatever that means.
