Robberies on the Elderly have all but stopped!

Almost a year to the day when the IRSP called for an "immediate" halt to the robberies on the elderly in the Colin area of Belfast we have bore witness to our calls being heeded. Whilst we don't believe we have eradicated the problem, as it is deeply ingrained within our societies, we certainly believe we have curtailed it.

We take this opportunity again during this festive period to call on all to remain vigilant for your elderly neighbours and family members and should any concerns exist we ask that you contact the IRSP without hesitation.

The IRSP cannot and will not stand by and see our most valued members of the community intimidated or terrorised by anybody for any reason. We stand shoulder to shoulder with the working class and will not be deterred from our goals.

Only cowards take part in attacks on the elderly and these sorts have no place within our society.

Do you guys have the sort of influence for your call out to be heeded in such a way, and the man/womanpower on the ground to actually do soemthing if people contacted you?

Do people contact you?

Genuine questions, I'm not trolling.

Im nearly certain I posted up the original statement a year ago here from the IRSP.
But basically what they did was organise the communtiy through Community meetings and the like.
I think they were even providing lifts for the elderly to these meetings because these elderly people were often isolated and had no form of transport.
These community meetings helped create a form of neighbourhood watch which the IRSP helped in.
They same was done in a certain area of Derry where a community was besieged by anti-social elements and where the IRSP patrolled the community and even made these anti-social elements re-emberce the locals whose property had been damaged.
In areas like Derry and Belfast man power is no problem to do these initiatives.

If you can demonstrate that you can protect the populace from crime and maintained social order better than the state, you have won a major victory in delegitimizing the state and improved the stating of your organization with the working class.

Believe me delegitimizing the state in working class communities in the partition north of the border is not a problem.
