What's With This Rally In Dublin on Saturday?

I Drink It Up!

Young lad was stabbed and now Gay/Lesbians/Unions/Plough-and-Star types have been invited to bring their banners to the GoR for a march on the Dail. What's the purpose of this?

Danbo!

Probably to show that the country is fed up with prejudice, and wishes all racists/homophobes would just FOD.

Oh right.

And how do they now hope the two lads who allegedly killed him will now have a fair trial, given that they are basically announcing, of their own accord, that his killing was racially motivated?

What about the people who are sick of rallys runing their day?

I thought thi thread was something to do with motoring.

Well it was the Gardai that first brought the racial motive to light, so maybe you should take it up with them......

My guess is it will be a big nothing, some Trotksyite will do all the talking, 200 of them will leave the GoR and there will be 8 of them left by the time they reach the Dail, having been sucked into the houses of sin along the way.

These yobs are basically hijacking this chaps plight to to try and make some sort of a Lawrence case out of this.

They thrive off this kind of thing, it helps keep them relevant. If they really wanted to help they would say nothing and do less that would prejudice the trial. If the killers have a chance of getting off, its by saying their trial was prejudiced.

Gardai use powers all the time to make arrests and detentions. Sure you could be held under the Offences Against The State Act and never charged.

The Stephen Lawrence case involved institutional racism on behalf of the Metropolitan police.....theres no comparison.

People dont know the full story about this. There are two sides to every story. Having a rally is a bit much tbh.

Anyone a link to this story?

My guess is any form of group within Irish culture who could possibly be discriminated against were invited to this rally to show the Dail their opinion, damn right as well.

Sure that could be anyone and everyone.

Just admit it...when a black person dies, it's racial.

Their must have been racial tension in the area otherwise they would not have had a local Racial Equality officer or whatever they call it in the area.

It is when the accussed has a conviction for a previous racial attack.

Neither of the accussed are from the area.

Yeah, most of it a work of the pen of Brid Ni Chonaill, it seems. I wonder if she is related to Aine Ni Chonaill.

The attempt to create some sort of Missisipi Burning complex is awkward and brutish.

22%.....a fraction of whom are nigerian....and why are they referring to the young man as Nigerian...he was 11 years in Ireland......

Bingo.

But the Press and the Trots want you to believe it was an internecine affair out in the concrete jungle that is Blanch.....:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

I don't think the Rally is about Blanchardstown...

Rallys don't count as evidence. Trials are carried out on the merit of the evidence produced.

You don't magically turn Irish after 11 years of being in the country. I should know.

And the prospective jury wont have been influenced by a Rally which tried to paint a picture of unbridled racial tension in Tyrrelstown??

News to me. The only person who seems to be pedalling an agenda here is you.

You didn't remark on the accussed previous. Why?

Most people are murdered by someone in their own racial group; thats a grossly ignorant thing to say. I wasn't planning to go to this march but with viewpoints like yours around I think I will now.

I assume the far right national skin head party of Ireland got an invite so did they? Or an organisation representing the Catholic faithful of Ireland?

No but you get your papers. If they want to promote integration, and not their little racialist ideals, they would do well to refer to the victim as IRISH. Of course, "IRISH MAN STABBED" doesnt read as well as "NIGERIAN SCHOOLBOY STABBED"....

Come on. Rallies and demonstrations are designed to have that effect. They are designed to influence the public psyche. If not...then why have the rally.??

peabutler

To flag up the problem of Racism in this country, a problem which exsists.

livingtargets

I`m going to the rally.

Why?
Because a fifteen year-old boy was stabbed through the heart by two grown men in what appears to be a racist attack(if that`s proven wrong,I`ll take it back.But everything I`ve heard about the attack would lead to believe it was a racist attack)and I want to show my opposition to the murder itself,the culture of racism in Ireland,and the racist scum bags who are celebrating this death(just throw your eye on Stormfront Ireland if you don`t believe me).

Another reason is that I`m a Republican,and on Easter Monday when I heard the words,
"The Republic guarantees religious and civil liberty, equal rights and equal opportunities to all its citizens, and declares its resolve to pursue the happiness and prosperity of the whole nation and all of its parts, cherishing all of the children of the nation equally and oblivious of the differences carefully fostered by an alien government, which have divided a minority from the majority in the past."
I happened to take them to heart.

So I`ll be there,in my League of Ireland colours to remember a young Shelbourne FC man who was taken before his time,and I urge others to do likewise.

He said 'discriminated group'. Thats rather different from knuckling dragging racist scum.

You stated

a Rally which tried to paint a picture of unbridled racial tension in Tyrrelstown??

Why would they try to do that, when the two aren't from there?

Where is that the stated aim of the march?

Very bad idea IMO. Tensions are running very high around the area and the whole situation is very volatile. The boy was only killed two weeks ago.

I've been here about 11 years, I have 2 passports. If I was stabbed and the papers said "Irish man stabbed" that would be wrong. I'm not Irish.

Wouldn't take too long to find sentiments such as 'anyone who still goes to mass if responsible for rape and paedophilia' stated on this very forum. Correct me if I am wrong but if such blanket statements were applied to others it would be discrimination, and you yourself have just come from bemoaning the attention given to Muslims when a newstory from Yemen emerged... yet someone says all Catholics are responsible for paedophilia you are curiously quiet.

Was he attacked by people with a racist motive?

Morlar

What gets me about this is that if the victim were white society would not give 2 ****s. At the same time as the victim was black and the perpetrators were WHITE this is why it's an issue. Take a look at this story - all but Buried by the national media and social commentators. 6 nigerian teenagers questioned after a gang rape in kildare - how many people reading this were even aware this happened ?

Thursday April 08 2010

SIX teenage boys have been interviewed by gardai following the alleged gang rape of a 14-year-old girl.

The girl, a foreign national, is alleged to have been raped by six youths in a house and in a field.

Gardai have interviewed a number of African youths of different nationalities about the incident.

The youths were interviewed under caution, but were not arrested following an incident in a Co Kildare town last month.

A file is being prepared for the Director of Public Prosecutions.

A garda spokeswoman confirmed that an investigation was under way into an allegation of sexual assault late last month.

Caution

It is understood that the youths had gone as a group to another teenage girl's house.

It is there that the alleged attack occurred, and it is also alleged that the girl was later attacked by the youths in a field.

Sources have said that a number of the young men in the group are accused of raping the girl as others looked on.

The girl's parents later contacted the gardai after being told about the alleged rape.

A major investigation was launched and six teenage boys, who are understood to be aged between 15 and 17, were interviewed by gardai under caution.

The young girl has received counselling and medical treatment following the incident.

"We can confirm a report of an alleged sexual assault in Co Kildare last month which is being investigated," a garda spokeswoman said.

It would be a stupid generalisation. You've some nerve to compare that to actual discrimination.

As I pointed out earlier, one of the accused has a previous conviction for a racist attack.
