    I don’t see much wrong with the thread unless you support illegal mass gatherings?

    Yes because that's the only reason for thinking this thread is as described.

    What happened to George Floyd was unfortunate but it had nothing to do with the colour of his skin.

    I don't for one minute support any march at this time.

    But saying that race had nothing to do with George Floyd's deaths is naive, at best.

    No, he has his finals that day.

    I'm fully expecting that low life to use this as a platform to rehabilitate himself in the eyes of the public.

    Ask the organisers and those attending.

    Why would anyone with a quarter of brain approach the potentially virus ridden eejits.

    It will be a complete mess just like the one in Dublin yesterday.

    Again I'd direct you to those organising and attending. I believe someone linked a FB page you could ask on.

    If Mickey Dee was still a Galway resident, then he - accompanied by the always simpering Sabina - would be leading the march.

    What is the point of protesting here about the actions of a foreign police force? It’s really stupid... unless the Gardaí have been killing people. Don’t the Indian police hit people with large sticks? Why not march against the caste system? (Or concentrate on injustices in your own country)

    Since ye are protesting, why don’t ye protest for

    Rohingya Muslims in Burma
    Russian occupancy of Ukraine region
    Hong Kong people being suppressed by China
    catholic’s in Northern Ireland occupied by England

    Christ, there’s a long list, #alllivesmatter

    Virtue signaling morons

    The only outcome will be potentially increasing covid and wasting garda time.

    If black lives matter than much to people maybe they could financially support groups in the US that work with disadvantaged people.

    Their handbags are bigger than what they are wearing. I wear more going to bed.

    Another embarrassing wankfest of virtue signalling dimwits, American black lives matter more than old Irish white ones, absolute joke of a country

    I suppose if you don't get in quick enough, it'll no longer be trending on social media. But wankery of the highest order. Just saw the clip on the 9 o clock news.

    A march during a pandemic? I know it happened in Dublin but it'll hardly be allowed?

    Populist party. Maybe they should sort their own party first.

    Disgraceful and disrespectful to all those who have made unemployed, business closed , families who couldn’t attend funerals, people who haven’t hugged family members

    The demonstrators will actually alienate people and may actually encourage racism and it’s seen as giving us all the fingers

    most "anti-racism" activism in Ireland is the same. In part because they appropriate their ideas from america, but black people in America have been there for centuries, and were brought there forcefully and terribly mistreated all that time. Not exactly the same as a population that chose to come here in the last 25 years and have generally been net recipients of Ireland's resources
