"My feelings - as usual - we will slaughter them all"

Sinister masked gang use the words of ex Iraqi Minister of Information 'Comical Ali' to recruit members for Dublin City Riot.

Members all wear distinctive 'Dublin City Riot' gang colours and arm themselves with long sticks.

This shadowy group who hide behind masks, helmets, body armour and padding appear to be well organised. They hold regular meetings where they practice attacking and defensive moves to be used against their rivals.

It is even possible that they may be more dangerous than the wombles (trained by the PKK) We do not know what remains of Comical Ali's organisation, or how many of his supporters have joined DC Riot.

Hopefully some intrepid journalist like Deirdre Tynan, will be able to infiltrate this group so we may be able to judge the full extent of this threat.

Riot equipment such as 'flying discs' & 'flameproof aprons' can easily be purchased online ...

... these items are hidden amongst apparently innocent merchandise such as 'cute teddy bears'

Be aware however that teddy bears soaked in petrol can be deadly.

Thankfully the Gardai appear to be aware of this menace.
