The I.R.A. shoot the knee caps of joyriders in Northern Ireland.

Gee, that's almost as smart as joyriding in the first place!

Well the lads in the video seem harmless enough but you see the boys from a working class area of Ireland. You have to have the men of the IRA to dispel street justice. The boys dont respect the law but they respect the paramilitries. Even the enemy have their own punishment squads. Its either explusion from the country or a shooting. Sometimes you get a choice. Be sure the boys are on the first boat out.

Well I guess stupid behavior calls for desperate measures...

If the paramilitries want the support of the people. They need to be seen as protectors of the community.
