    Same goons who did this before with no idea why they think pissing off commuters does whatever their cause is any good.

    Training to be internet trolls.

    Just haven't quite got it right yet.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,046 ✭✭✭Berserker


    Well, water is still the hot topic but they could be protesting about anything. How do these people find the time and money to attend all these protests?

    I think it was Eirigi that pulled this stunt before, likely them or similar again. They need a bit of attention to validate their existence every now and again.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,605 ✭✭✭yipeeeee


    Absolute brain dead.

    I really do wonder sometimes.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 24,233 ✭✭✭✭Kermit.de.frog


    Nothing on the traffic cameras. Don't see any "protest".

    Its so wrong that a hand full of pseudo-communists can grind the capital city to a halt.

    Making a stand against government/corporations while wearing Time Warner trademarked masks.

    Nothing achieved but misery to to people trying to get home from work.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,499 ✭✭✭porsche959


    The water protestors, who I support once they are not engaging in criminal or threatening behaviour, are sensible people that have just had enough of what they regard, with some justification, as this government's bullying tactics and double dealing. They usually arrange their protests on weekends so as to avoid causing annoyance to commuters.

    I think as other posters said, it is much more likely this is the Eirigi mob or similar rentamobs.

    What do they want, and when do they want it?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 25,748 ✭✭✭✭Timberrrrrrrr


    Feckin eejits should be dragged away by the scruff of the neck and if they resist then Smack em with a baton

    From their point of view, at best they won't register at worst they'll undermine their own cause.

    These people are alienating the general public by making life difficult for those who have to work for a living.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 28,398 ✭✭✭✭Turtyturd


    It's not affecting my commute. Protest away.

    Totally agree but that'll result in the Guards getting the blame for being bullies.

    If a couple of sh*theads don Guy Fawkes masks & bring the city to a standstill, the cop who drags them off the road & thumps their skull would be a hero of the people.

    And videos on youtube showing a cop attacking a "peaceful protester"


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 1,204 ✭✭✭fiachr_a


    Or a steamroller went out of control and flattened the lot of them.

    I would love it if that was the case but I disagree in all honesty. You would have videos on youtube etc, claiming that the police were "attacking" peaceful protesters.

    It's to do with the high court ruling granting gmc Sierra a 20 mtr exclusion zone when installing water metres.
