    No, I don't.

    There is ABSOLUTELY NO EXCUSE FOR A MOTORIST TO MOUNT A PAVEMENT, KNOCK OVER PEDESTRIANS AND THEN LEAVE THE SCENE OF THE CRIME.

    Surely, you can understand THAT.

    Or does your understanding only extend to the guy you want to side with.

    :/

    How many buses were stopped what exact routes were effected not every single bus in Dublin was stopped by the protestors yesterday surely, if they were then again no contingency plans drawn up no alternate routes planned

    The Luas only went to Smithfield. Not as if you or those protesters cared about your fellow Irish man though,

    No, you clearly haven't read the script. The driver was hired by the pro water alliance in order to injure as many of the peaceful protestors as possible.

    they're is no reasonable excuse for this act of terrorism. the person responsible must be caught and locked up as they are a danger to society

    would cost to much and mean to much trouble compared to letting it fizel out naturally

    Not in the least, find a nice open air pen for them to sit in and let them stew for a while as they are processed, couple of guards with pepper spray would easily keep the lowlifes in line.

    And you have evidence of this lie right?

    he probably has about as much evidence as joeswanson did earlier in the thread when he claimed the cyclist jumped infront of the cops.

    Would have been quite ironic if the ambulance couldn't get to the protestor blocking the road in time to save their life.

    Wonder if the protestors even thought they could be hindering an ambulance getting to someone quick if needed be.

    That she had to spend more money to get home because of a bunch of twats?

    Lucky she can afford it of course.

    I thought your protest was about people not being able to pay "No way we won't pay" but you're happy for other people to pay more?

    I love the way people are taking the moral high ground about the hit and run victim (quite rightly) but are mentioning nothing about the Garda who was injured while doing his job.

    It's almost as if they were biased in some way. Kinda like how they portray the Guards to be Denis O'Briens personal security force.

    Laugh of the day. The so called protesters attacking the car appear to have eirigi flags but its the person desperately trying to escape their violent attack thats a terrorist.

    No it's a crime to drive on a footpath occupied with innocent pedestrians, knock one over, and continue to drive with an other on the bonnet, then leave the scene.

    Unacceptable, disgusting, thuggish, behaviour,
    I don't have all the details so I can't judge. I don't know.

    It was one day of protest no one not anyone anywhere on Dublin council could organise something to get people from the luas to home, Christ youd think Dublin was under siege or something they way people are going on

    And you can play the sympathy card all you want doesn't wash with me, 5 minutes of planning would be all itd take to get around the protestors yesterday but people just seem to want to target it as something god awful that happened.

    Such idiocy displayed on this thread by the pro side tis unbelieveable

    It's genius.... How can you pay your water bill if all your wages are going on taxi's.

    Well played Eirigi, Well played.

    Again, I don't see the word "water" mentioned a single time in the article you quoted, and it is an article published by an Irish based newspaper based on an Irish survey funded by a "Galway based businessman".

    :confused: And I dont see the word water mentioned in your post, you said "the charges".
    Are you saying Red C are faking the poll? And they say the protestors have tinfoil hats!!! :pac:

    That's rich given you play the sympathy card all the time about people being unable to afford to pay for water.

    You don't want to pay for water. Make alternate arrangements for your water and waste water so

    Saying it's okay for people to pay more to get a taxi but it's not okay for people to pay more water is hypocritical at best.

    I like how you edited it from "act of terrorism" to "attempted murder", you should never go 100% bullshît. 70% seems safe.

    She got home end of story you want to make a point you need to come up with something better then a story that she had the sense to get a taxi and actually avoid the protest

    Although thanks again for making my point for me

    Ok that's grand then, next time I feel threatened I'll mount the pavement and start running people over.

    If the place awash with protesters, where were the Gards ?

    Here with go with the black and white, pro vs. anti nonsense. You don't have to be against water charges to think protestors blocking off public transport is unacceptable.

    Irrelevant, you're saying the driver should never be mounting the pavement like that. If the scenario is the what Timber described, why are people doing that to the car in the first place?
