    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

    You must do or you wouldn't keep trying to play down what he did.

    Of course it's your right to support him but don't pretend or ignore the fact that what he did could have ended very badly.

    Hmmmm...

    It seems to me that the man parked the truck outside the gates of Leinster House, on double yellow lines.

    He may have been coming up to The Big Smoke, maybe a visit to the Natural History Museum?

    His brake lines may have snapped on the way up? or immediately after he parked??

    He might have misplaced his keys?

    From my reading of media reports it doesn't seem to me that there were any lives in danger...
    unless they willingly wanted to throw themselves under a slow moving large vehicle..


    I am not saying I do or do not agree with this mans actions...

    BUT

    How far could you be pushed before doing something?

    Lose your family home?
    Lose ALL your savings?
    etc..

    I don't know his personal details, but I do think everyone has a breaking point!

    Just saying :)

    If I sat any harder on the fence I'd end up with piles...

    I feel like I am beating my head off a brick wall here.. As someone who both drives and works on trucks I know how easy this would be to pull off without any risk to the public. And I mean any.

    He is kinda fcuked IMO, they will be able to do him for loads. I doubt the truck is tested and if it is whatever test centre passed it is fcuked. He probably had no tacho chart in so that is another offence...

    Stop with the condescening crap and give me a straight answer.

    Wise up to what?

    I KNOW the country is in a heap. I KNOW the economy is a mess. I KNOW the government is crap.

    I don't think that justifies the risk the truck driver took.

    Didn't know disagreeing with what he did wasn't allowed, sorry.

    .

    Yes, yes we know that, but how did he know how the Guards would react? He was driving a truck at the gates of our Parliment, not Dunnes Stores in Balbrigan. He had no idea how his recklessness would turn out.

    Isn't there normally vehicles driving up to that gate, through that gate and so on?

    There was no risk to anyone.

    One man got more attention today by peacefully protesting than all the apathetic people will get in a lifetime. His voice was heard.

    You get arrested if you crash a truck into the Dail but not if you crash the entire country.....says it all really, fair dues to the truck driver, he's one of a handful who had the balls to make a stand against all the corruption in this country. If we had more like him we probably wouldn't be as badly off as we are and are going to be now.

    I would have laughed more if someone had pulled their pants down and rammed it up their asses and then into the next interviewee's mouth

    now that would have been classic and replayed years from now
