    it can become tiresome debating that its fake news when it doesn't suit your narrative. we all need to be conscious of actively seeking out information from a broad spectrum in order to ensure that our cognitive dissonance doesn't intensify. I consciously follow those across the spectrum of mindsets in order to minimise at the very least, being brainwashed.


    Yes wait some days perhaps ..until more news comes out. I could be wrong about this myself. Who knows.

    All I have posted is direct on the scenes footage though.

    You can't they are letting food deliveries in with no issue.

    They will crack down on deliveries at some point to break these idiots.
    One of the great benefits of the USA not be socialized is that water electricity etc is ALL private companies ...so they can't be cut off! :pac:

    The water and electricity work in a grid. You'd be shutting off water to nearly the whole state if not coast just for 5 blocks.
    People go to and from work etc as normal.

    LOL. You think these trust fund babies and genetic dead ends actually have jobs. Bless you.. you're so cute.

    Yes the weather is pants ..but lockdown is ending and things will be better soon!

    I am cute!

    All of what you say ..is hypothetical.....so i can't comment.

    They said the same of John Hume you know.

    Didn't one of the leaders say the homeless stole all their food, and that's why they needed more

    I think you are having a little trouble with this concept.

    Its not a border. People can come and go...its a police FREE zone.

    I think you're the one having trouble. They're building fences/walls [which they claim don't work] and they have people patrolling them.

    Yes that's a border and yes that is a border patrol.

    Please please if you choose to discuss the civil rights movement/free Derry movement do some research. The Black and Tans as brutal as they were, were well gone in john Humes time.
    The residents of Derry barricaded themselves into their area, they didn't move into the area and then barricade themselves in!! They barricaded thenselves in because the b specials and ruc actively sought to inter them and damage their homes. Young Catholic men were being interned, gerrymandering rife, poor housing, actual real poverty. A marked absence of democracy. One man, one vote unless you had property and then you had several votes! . overcrowding, segregated education, poor housing.
    I lived on the falls and the ormeau... yes we actually had cloths hanging in our hallway doused with vinegar in case teargas was shoved in our letterbox. We didnt need to go to a march, the army and ruc came to us!!! There are similarities between the movements but don't put them on par with each other. Free Derry movement is a worthy symbol of civil rights but I'm struggling to equate the current antifa movemtent and it's manifesto with what was endured by northern irish Catholics.


    I am very angry with you for accusing ME of not doing my research when you have done just this.

    Its the capitol hill residents who have done this. Its the people who live there.

    Please do your research before you comment.

    Is all of this just a sh*t rapper forcing his music on people?


  • Posts: 18,749 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    No.

    The first thing these freedom loving people did was create a police free zone.

    There is no border. Normal people ..delivery trucks can still go in and out as they wish. Its just the police.

    And what will fill the void where the police once were?
    Or will everyone suddenly become law abiding citizens, never committing any crimes?
    What happens if these people themselves become victims of crimes? Who will they turn to?


  • Posts: 18,749 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Guys i would advise everyone to thoroughly research things before posting.

    Lol.
    The irony

    I don't really think the police in the states care about law really at this stage do you?


  • Registered Users Posts: 38,247 ✭✭✭✭Guy:Incognito


    i'd love to see all the cops in the US call in sick for a week.

    Just for anyone who will inevitably turn the whole thing to the same as the other threads and bury the the lot.

    For a numbers comparison, if the Gardai killed as many people a year as the US police, per capita, theyd be directly killing 17 people a year here. Would people support that? I dont think many would. Police are not meant to routinely kill people. The US police seem to have a real issue with the concept of de-escalting situations. Thats not policing.

    I shall leave you on this note for a few days.

    Who knows where it shall all go by then. It could all be up in flames! :eek:

    There was a thread from donkeys years ago about a poster wanting to become an admin, bigtommybomb was the posters name.
    This thread reminds me of it

    it's a shocking figure but if there were more guns in Ireland than people, as is the case in the US, it wouldn't be quite so shocking. A direct comparison is fairly useless. Many protesters are looking for various police forces to be disbanded - i'd be interested to see the results.

    Did you read what I wrote or did you simply see a critique and react?
    You spoke of John Humes and then spoke of what the Black and Tans had done to us. are we discussing 800 years of oppression or the more recent civil rights movement in northern Ireland? Both worthy causes of course but the Black and Tans was not on John Humes mind during the Free Derry movement. Are you not willing to listen to someone who lived and experienced on a very regular basis the real fear of being questioned, of your brothers being interned, of teargas coming in your letterbox? Look at the mass exodus of many of us out of Northern Ireland to the South to escape this.

    Its important to learn from each other, to hear others experiences and not simply read but also to listen.

    He's like a real-life Vera from Mr Robot. I predict he and his crew will be standing around in a group some evening when they all suddenly notice they have red dots on their foreheads in those two seconds before their skulls start exploding like watermelons.

    Ireland's population is a tenth of the US population. The Police don't go around killing people. No matter what the media wants you to believe. If you're not an idiot when interacting with them you'll be fine.

    Fcuk me I did not know Ireland shot from 7 million to 33 million in the past decade

    Police don’t go around killing people? Tell Breonnas mother that. See what she says.

    This **** show is already cracking at the seams. Raz is apparently assaulting people in there and they're actually calling for the Police. Dispatchers are using the "That appears to be in the New Republic of Capital Hill. They can handle that." line.

    These shops that they're buying food and supplies from should pull the same thing. They should say "Sorry, We don't ship Internationally." or "International shipping rates will apply."


  • Registered Users Posts: 83,476 ✭✭✭✭Overheal


    International shipping rates ftw

    For an autonomous zone, they are making quite a lot of demands of a government organization they are rejecting.

    Some of them are blatantly impractical, some just bizarre.

    We demand the hospitals and care facilities of Seattle employ black doctors and nurses specifically to help care for black patients.

    Are they trying to ghettoize themselves? Are there black medical needs which white doctors cannot meet? Should black doctors be reserved for black patients, or can they treat non-blacks when they have a bit of spare time? Is there a recent history of care facilities in Seattle not accepting job applications from black doctors and nurses?


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 3,315 ✭✭✭mynamejeff


    I wonder where the heat water and light will come from , not to mention the social security payments

    and if company's outside the free zone will accept their currency.

    I agree with you a lot but how is hiring black doctors ghettoization?

    that is a flat out racist demand ,

    Try walking into Vincent's or better still a hospiteal in the states and demand that you be treated by only white staff.

    how is this acceptable in any world
