Shocking moment shows balaclava-clad thug pointing ‘gun’ at a defenceless child
The man waves the gun around the room and shows off wads of cash while the little girl smiles on
THIS is the shocking moment a masked man appears to point a handgun at a defenceless child.
The video of the Irish Traveller waving a weapon in front of a young girl, who can be seen smiling, has sparked widespread criticism after being posted online last week.
The one-minute long internet clip also shows the masked idiot waving wads of cash.
And the video goes on to reveal the balaclava-clad bloke emptying bullets from the weapon. It’s unclear whether it is a real or imitation firearm.
Authorities are now investigating the clip and have urged anyone with information to come forward.
A senior Traveller source said: “Everyone in the community is talking about this and can’t believe the man has used a child in the video.
“The gun can be heard clicking and he’s pointing it everywhere but doesn’t seem to realise that there is a child so close to him. There could have been an accident and the child could have been hurt.
"Posting videos is the norm these days for Travellers to brag about themselves but children should never be part of something like this.
“This man is also showing off his wealth but he’s not that clever because someone might recognise him from his clothes, the child or the decor of the caravan.
“The days of Travellers bragging about their abilities with bare knuckle boxing are gone.”

The Sun can also reveal the video wasn’t the only controversial clip posted on social media this week.
In another online rant, a masked man brandishing a large knife also makes a series of threats in front a young boy.
And the little lad can be seen waving a toy knife during the clip.
Meanwhile, the Irish Sun can also reveal how cops were called to St Francis of Assisi Primary School in Dublin 13 last week as part of an ongoing row.
The school refused to comment on the clash.
Investigators believe the fight is linked to a gun attack in which a dog was blasted to death in a botched shooting last weekend.
