People before Profit messed up the morning of the election in Galway iirc. Don't listen to them, stay at home.

Videos emerging from America of rioters and scenes of mayhem. Looting in shops and stealing cars.

And this, is what the Irish protesters want to stand in solidarity with. Good god, give over and light a candle instead.

Organisers of the Dublin parade may be prosecuted. Throw the book at them.

That’s all trumps fault. Or right wing ‘bad actors’ who have infiltrated the protests to discredit antifa and blm. If you are willing to suspend disbelief of course.

Doctors room ghost

The gombeens involved should be sent out to the bogs and told to bring home the elderly and vulnerables turf for them.it would be time better spent instead of standing in eyre square waffling sh1te talk.
A soft,useless and entitled generation.

And "No groups of more than 4"
Do they think that this negates them from any responsibility?

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

This x 10000000000

Is that their poster for the protest they are planning.

It wouldn't fill me with much confidence for safety that's for sure. What do they mean by just the word antibacterial?

Bring your own
Mask
antibacterial
Whatever else on the list


Antibacterial what?
-wipes
-gel
-toothpaste

Lazy poster.

Also it's good to see they are recommending for people who attend to self isolate for 14 days. The fact that's there in the poster would tell me, there is a risk for an infection. Realistically how can attendees be trusted to do the right thing and self isolate after a potential exposure, especially how we move forward into phase 2 and reopening of more in our country.

This could be a sting organised by the Gardai. Anyone stupid enough to turn up gets locked up.

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

The poster extolling the segregationist governor of Alabama, George Wallace, isn't fooling anyone, for starters. Not so much a dog-whistle as a blow-horn.

Due to concerns about health risks regarding the COVID-19 crisis and taking into consideration the lack of social distancing space available to residents in Direct Provision centres, GARN have decided to postpone our #BlackLivesMatter protest until safety restrictions are lifted. We ask everyone to join us in an online protest on Saturday as well as signing an online book of condolences to victims of systemic racism and police brutality. Institutional racism and discrimination against Black and ethnic minority communities is as much a danger to lives as COVID-19, as they have seen a disproportionate number of cases and deaths worldwide, with many of these people being front line carers, medical staff and essential workers. We call on Ireland to acknowledge the injustices and structural racism that create rampant inequality in Ireland and beyond, and to instead embrace our changing intercultural society to create an equitable, fair Ireland for all our children.
#BlackLivesMatter #EndDirectProvision

Since the march have been cancelled for now this thread is no longer needed.

Feel free to use the Current Affairs/IMHO forum to continue discussing George Floyd (RIP).

Closed too fast.
The march week still go ahead.

Galway Anti-Racism Network’s Black Lives Matter protest in Galway City has been cancelled due to health and safety risks posed by COVID-19 – however a demonstration will still take place at 2pm

It’s still a stupid ducking idea that shouldn’t be allowed happen.

I presume he's referring to me
I didnt extoll anything to do with his views on segregation! Only his views that protestors need to get some S-O-A-P and a J-O-B.
