A limerick I wrote. It was inspired by a sad fact that many Slovakian gipsies send their children to do crime for them since children cannot be prosecuted according to our law.
The situation is critical in many parts of Slovakia. The problem is high criminality, particularly in gipsy community. Our law does not allow for children (under 14 if I remember correctly) to be prosecuted unless the crime is very serious such as murder, rape or when a child badly hurts someone (intentionally). Because of that, investigation is usually dropped when the policemen fid out the crime was commited by a child. Many parents, mostly amongst gipsies exploit this to their advantage …
Of course, children criminals are not the only problem. It seems to be a habit of people in poor gipsy communities to exploit the social system and overall lack of will to punish them for their crimes. On the other hand, they scream racism anytime someone tries to defend against their attacks and incursions into other people’s private properties. Generally, they do not work for things, just demand, snatch or occupy whatever they want for free. Anyway, here is the limerick.
Gipsy, gipsy running by,
as always he is high.
Little gypsie jumping grannies,
to rob them off their pennies.
Just for his daddy could in clouds fly.
Hope you liked my limerick.
Disclaimer!!!: I by no means say that all gipsies are bad people or criminals or that this is a problem solely in gipsy community! I just inform you of the problem that is wide-spread mostly in certain communities in my country. There are many gipsies here in Slovakia who are honest, hard-working good people. I personally have known several of them. Any comment trying to turn this post into a hate debate will be deleted!
