Nine arrested after Dublin Lidl store is looted before thugs rip off its roof with a digger during Storm Emma wipeout



For context, it snowed heavily in Ireland about 3 days ago and because it was so bad, the majority of shops didn't open for ONE DAY.

So of course, occasional looting ensued.

The area this happened in is notoriously lovely.

Something was bound to happen once the people there realised the police couldn't get to them because of the weather.

Virtually all retail stores are closed on Sundays in historically Catholic Belgium. I assumed it was the same in Ireland. But then, over here it's mostly due to a continuation of medieval guild rules rather than religion, which no one under the age of eighty gives a poo poo about.

Medieval guilds were heavily religious though so it's only really one step removed.

I think this may be the best headline since "SUPER CALLY GOES BALLISTIC, QPR ATROCIOUS" in the Liverpool Echo after footballer Ian Callaghan (who played for Liverpool) totally dunked on Queens Park Rangers.

When I lived in Ireland it snowed exactly once, like one inch, and everything was closed and the streets were deserted. I'm glad to know that the logical conclusion where , at 6 inches of snow, Dublin gets taken over by mad max looter gangs has become reality.

Just being thorough, like when you have a bottle of lotion or liquid foundation or something with a pump cap that seems like it's empty, then you remove the cap and there's like half a bottle left.

It's probably also when they were trying to get at the safe.

Yes. The thesis here is that only perfect angelic paragons of virtue can be real victims. Once you do something wrong you become a perpetrator, and no one can be both a victim and a perpetrator.
