    I know. It was a joke.

    We should consider exhuming him, getting DNA sample, cloning a few hundred of him.

    That is also a joke. :)

    Black Pride Ireland? :)

    Edit: sorry I see it is not the ‘Pride’ I was thinking.

    Pity they couldn't come down hard on the miscreants who had a grand ol drink session in a field in Banduff from 11pm - 4am every night over the bank holiday weekend.

    Despite lots of residents phoning the guards all they did was 'log it'.

    I asked them politely to come down on the protesters like a ton of bricks, with no exceptions, no one spared.

    Wow, I was just wondering if people in Cork were actually going to attend. Didn't anticipate a people would be calling for Gardaí to kick the heads off them. The protestors shouldn't do it, but I don't think that would do any good for anyone. Having bits of viscera flying around is probably a vector of transmission. Also civil unrest right now would be fairly inconvenient.

    A fair point, well made. Break out the water cannons instead. But fill them with urine as water shortages are on the way.

    Given how these progressive organised protests have been used as an execuse to riot ( Tim Pool - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pIn_I49fCao ) then this shows the Virtue signalling of the far-left has negative consequences beyond Covid-19 re-outbreaks.

    Why do I get the impression that some of the posters here would like to see these protesters battered by an Gardaí regardless of the virus?

    Especially considering that the protest hasn't happened yet, but somehow, you know who's going to be there.

    Revolting - as an adjective rather than a verb.

    It was a gag not worth indulging, so I didn't.
    I took it as an adjective.

    What will a protest in Cork achieve in any case? Seriously, what do the protesters think the Irish gov will do?
    Anyone?
    Nothing - that's what.

    The cop is being tried in the US and that is about all Ireland or anyone else for that matter need to know.

    Don't give me the solidarity together bullsh1t either. This show of solidarity can be done on-line - no need for a ****1ng march. Complete disregard for all the lives lost to Covid19 and our front-line workers.

    *I am horrified at George Flyod's death. His brother came out on twitter and asked for all the looting to stop. It really is a mess over there.

    Simon Harris has called on such rallies not to go ahead: https://twitter.com/newschambers/status/1268138405981978625

    Related to this, Galway City Mayor Cllr Mike Cubbard is calling on the rally in Galway not to go ahead but is instead suggesting people light candles in their windows as a show of solidrity & hope https://twitter.com/FlirtNewsFeed/status/1268132197166350341

    There are cases being taken against the organisers if the news articles are to be believed.

    There's very little online about the Cork protest but I'd imagine Cork won't have one if Dublin isn't. Serious relief, what a setback it could have been to containing the virus.

    There will be a time when we can do this, it's just clearly not a good idea when there's a fatal condition which can be spread and I think anyone can understand that. It would have a fallout as bad as Cheltenham or if Paddy's day parades had gone ahead.

    The action was taken after the fact.

    How was it that it must have taken at least a day or two to get the info out and organised, and no one in the meantime said hang on a minute, there's a pandemic??

    So apparently the protest in Dublin is still going ahead.

    https://www.thejournal.ie/black-lives-matter-protest-saturday-dublin-monday-5114253-Jun2020/

    Surely the gardai or City Council's should be able able to put a stop to these?

    Anyone know if there is anything we can do to try and get the Cork one stopped? I am tempted to email my local politican. I have never done anything like this but the ignorance in this is going ahead despite our current situation is maddening me. My aunt died in April and I still havent hugged my Mum as she has an underlying condition. To see people ignore all the rules and put Irish people's lives at risk is sickening. We have made so much progress.

    If anyone who goes to this thinks this will make the slightest difference to the situation in the US they are fooling themselves.

    Ironic that the black lives that matter may well be the ones that are hurt most by protest marches such as these.

    It's going to be 90% white girls if the other protests and social media are anything to go by.

    Some of these groups are protesting for the abolition of direct provision.

    Its not the right time.

    And dont worry the Americans dont give two hoots about Ireland so having a solidarity protest wont change the world.

    Seems like Councillor Fiona Ryan is promoting the protest. All voters in her constituency need to remember this come the next election. She should be ashamed of herself.
