Breaking News: John O'Donovan Injured During Peaceful Protest Mod Warning #146

byronbay2

Well-known local activist John O'Donovan has been injured by Irish Water thugs while on a peaceful protest opposing the installation of water meters. He was barely able to talk to Neil Prendeville (live on Red FM) due to his injuries and a subsequent panic attack. An ambulance is speeding en route and it is not known what (if any) criminal charges will follow. Stay tuned to Red FM and 96FM (and possibly others) for updates from John.

I think this one will run and run.

*yawn* Wouldn't we all love to be able to stand outside our houses in the sunshine during the working day, stopping other people doing their job...

It's now in three threads, John the Martyr. I understand a picture in on FB of the victim being taken away by HSE ambulanceman

I'd love to know what his injuries turn out to be and how he was actually hurt but I guess we will never get a credible account of it.

I suspect that if there was no protest an ambulance would not have been required to treat the injury. Could be wrong on that, though.

Exactly, like if he *really* needed an ambulance would he have rang into the Neil Predeville while waiting for it?

Neil actually asked him [live on air] if he really needed the ambulance as if one comes for him, someone else will be left waiting.

Our martyr replied that he did need the ambulance as he's after suffering a panic attack now too.

No that's Brian Gould - as captioned.

This is John O'Donovan

Thanks evilivor. I thought Brian Gould was the interviewer! I hope his injuries are not serious. I also hope that the ambulance crews precious time was not wasted.

good old one sided stories, with plenty of exaggerations.

It's funny how these people who believe in their individual standalone rights of individual freedoms granted under Brehan Law are fierce quick to call a state supplied ambulance.

Just heard he has been assassinated but should make a full recovery for the 6-1 News tonight

LOL it reads like a socialist version of The Sun or The Daily Mail.
Must be all true and unbiased;)

Last time I checked it was perfectly acceptable to protest peacefully in this country.

I'm sure the Zapruder film will emerge eventually.

You missed my point.
I was suggesting that calling the ambulance was a publicity stunt - that the same injury in another situation would not require an ambulance. I thought it was pretty clear as I wrote it. Understand now?

You either own nothing or are unaware of the libel/slander laws of this land, with your attitude I'm sure its the former.

As they put his meter unit into the ground, it went back and to the left. Back....and to the left.....

Yeah Im sure the mods will be on a scramble there, but never let a bit of rumour, conjecture and exaggeration get in the way of a good story.

What are you basing the assumption that calling the ambulance was a publicity stunt on.

Ah, now, don't mock. He obviously has serious issues and I don't mean objecting to water meters. (It has been reported that a METERite hit him. Any confirmation of this ground breaking/head wrecking report?)

you could do with some brushing up on them yourself, who exactly has been defamed by the op.

Just a suspicion. As I said, I could be wrong.
A "panic attack" is hard to define and easy to fake.

who's that ?

Rhys Essien

It has to be said but Irish Water are making a complete horlicks of this.Why dont they move on to another place for the time being?.They also dont have any spokepeople to inform the media/public about what exactly they are doing,where they will be working,for how long etc.96fm keep saying that they cannot get hold of anyone from Irish Water to make a comment.

Its like a military operation they are carrying out.

To start charging €360 on the first year is also disgraceful.Fair enough that we should have to pay for water but could they not have started on something like €150.

I also cant believe that we are told it costs the government something like €1.3 billion annually to run the water system at present.Thats an astronomical figure.
