Truck incident at Leinster House

sligopark · 29-09-2010 8:46pm

Any one wish this chap had forced his way on in and reversed that lorry filled with explosives copper coned like a drogue bomb to burn out TDs before blowing up Bankster House?

Indeed.
It's like 1916 all over again.
Some people tried to free us from British oppression, but the public turned against them until they were executed.

Today the entire Spanish nation are going on national strike, 100,000 protesters are expected to converge on the European parliament in Brussels and in Ireland?....

Oh dear.

Careful now. Down with that sort of thing.

Shure there's a general election in 2012, we'll tell them what we think of them then, in the meantime there's Joe Duffy.

There's a presidential election next year.
More later.

So no solutions from you. Anyone else?

FF must be prevented from obtaining power again, unless they change their policies and the old boy's club is disbanded.
More later.

The point is that parking a truck at the gates/driving a truck into them/whatever isn't doing anything. It achieves nothing. Let me know when something constructive is done.

It's a start.
You can bitch and moan about this trucker, but he made more of an impact than anyone else over the last 5 years.

The brake lines were cut on the truck AFAIK... if pedestrians had been there, who knows how many people could have been killed and/or injured.

I'd be very surprised if criminal action is not taken against this man based on the news reports of the event.

I like a lot of your points. You have been wrong in this entire thread.

I will now announce my bid for presidency in the next election.
I'm a few months short of the required age at the moment, but I will be of age by the time the polls are open.

I will not allow another FF government during my tenure.
Vote for me.

Loads of people came on Live Line praising him and denouncing the politicians. None of them seemed to see the irony that they were talking to Joe Duffy who is paid vast sums of money out of their licence fee. I think he will get off, unlike this Hero of the People who denounced Pat Kenny and the fat cats in RTE.

I'm a bit shocked at that so many people would support such a reckless and dangerous stunt.

I know this is After Hours but honestly, some-one could have been seriously hurt or killed.

I have no great love for Cowen et al but seriously this was taking it too far.

Cop on a bit folks, protesting is one thing, putting people's lives at risk is another.

Erm.....by being hit by or crushed under the truck maybe? Don't play dumb, you know what I meant.

And to the other poster.....yes I know the country's in a heap.....I'm one of many who lost their jobs and can't find work.

I just don't think risking seriously injuring or killing some-one is the way to go about changing things tbh.

What has that to do with anything?
There were people on trolleys and the HSE was a mess all the way through the Celtic Tiger.
This deluded moron took a risk with his own life and others (he had no way of knowing the outcome) to make a point that has been made over and over again. His protest, like Coveneys stunt is already being forgotten. Why? Because it was ineffective and misdirected to begin with.

force majeure · 29-09-2010 9:32pm

If only he was driving a Mowag he may have made it.

What he did today was nothing

This is what our neighbours did for far less than what is being done to us now

Its only a matter of time,you can only push a people so far

FF would do well to remember this

Look, there was no more of a risk of him hurting anyone as there was of someone driving in that gate with a car or driving down the street with a truck to make a delivery.

As I have already stated, the brakes must have been working, if they weren't they would not have had the trouble they had in towing it away.

Trucks have a safety back up system built into the parking brake, when the air that is used for normal braking goes low the handbrake automatically comes on. In this case, when he cut the airlines it would apply the handbrake and the only way to get it off would be to fix the cut lines and fill the air tanks. (I know there is another way but the people of AH can't handle that just yet!)

Two words that increase the risks hugely......stress and panic....on his part, on the part of the Guards and the public who wouldn't be expecting a 15 ton truck to cross the carraige in front of them.
On this occaision he was lucky.....but when do you call halt to this kind of protest?

At 7 in the morning.. I'm sorry, I'm not buying it.

I do not support this guy, have heard since that he is not a very nice person despite what was being preached about him on Doe Juffy

Scuid Mhór · 29-09-2010 10:01pm

i don't care about the guy in question or the political forces at work that would drive him to doing such a crazy thing, but surely i'm not the only one who thinks it's really funny?
