On Hallowe’en night in 2022 riot police were called to Kirkton in Dundee where gangs blocked roads with bonfires and hurled fireworks in the street.
Graeme Armstrong meets one gang member who told him what it was like to be there.

Ya coupla neds
Reminds me of bearsden
A pretty pointless video, and a weak reporter who didn't seem willing or able to challenge the anti-social behaviour on display
Why you give them scumbags airtime?The local residents sick of their anti social behaviour.
The big question is, where is Police Scotland when this is all happening? To get any Police intervention you have to be getting robbed or murdered, anything else is someone else's problem. These young di_ckhe_ads are going to end up killing someone and this video only goes to show that you can get away with antisocial behaviour 🤬
The riot happened in that street is a disaster but they presented this video as peace and calm
Ain't that bad. Could easily walk through Kirkton at night and get zero problems. Kids on bikes and tiny fires on the road, not a big deal. Used to be way worse 20 years ago or so. Especially with Fintry, Mill o Mains etc.
Looks quite peaceful for Kirkton, Only kids on Bikes etc. Trying to make it look like it has a comparison to Gangs is quite daft. Unless you consider the Students of St. Paul's every weekday rampaging through the streets as a ''gang'' lol. Figured we left this nonsense behind, a documentary should be highlighting how the city has no youth projects or other alternatives that the government could introduce especially within Kirkton. However shown here it is just like ohh, Here we ride bikes and act daft. Overall, quite disappointing truly.
This docomentary is a good peice of work! Im not a fan of the bbc in general lately, but Greame, keep up the good work son. Its positive! Scotland will benefit from your work❤
It's amazing how every reporter seem too find the village idiot. 😂
Disneyland compared to Dublin
BBC making things worse giving wee neds publicity for bad behaviour. How about showing some positive role models, entrepreneurs, people who've made something of themselves or at least people who give back to the community in some way.
Generation of wasters from a previous generation of trash.
Riot 😂😂😂
The snp willlay full blame on Westminster aka England

I blame it on the Grand parents!🤭
Northeast fellas always sounds different fae us west coasters 😂
Kirkton has always been full of roasters.
A lot of the stuff being said is completely wrong😂, wasn’t a car that was burnt out for 24 hour and the flash point was gilburn road no Keswick and it started down the road then moved up
Twee pes en ingin en plen was the funniest thing I ever heard in dondee
Cant understand a word that lad is sayin what an accent man 😂😂😂😂
Pure belters.
Another Glaswegian (reporter) speaking through his nasal canal 👃
To imitate the Weegie, pinch your nose hard with your fingers whilst saying “awrite and awe that mate” and that’s you nailed the Weegie accent
FFS , are these muppets for real
Are they paying for haircuts on an instalment plan
They think they live in belfast 🤣🤣🤣
Need a translator. Why can't Dundonians speak English:-)
Grant was a brilliant man spent 2 year in a cell with grant and honestly probably was the best 2 year as a kid RIP GH#1
Destroying your own back yard, neighbourhood elders should condem this…
The guy in the video is a grown man pretending to be a rapper from "the ghetto". Truth is, Whitfield underwent a massive regeneration initiative and is nothing like the way it was. Living standards are a lot higher nowadays. It's bored kids thinking they can riot without consequence. There are no role models to look up to, their parents are likely on drugs and unemployed. Local schools aren't doing enough to help people from deprived areas. All they're doing is perpetuating the stereotypes of Dundee as Scumdee and not a good place to live.
Wernt the riots halloween 2023 or were there riots in 2022 aswell?
Absolute over hyped bullshit!! Bunch oh wallopers!!
Scumdee😭
Dumbdreich.
