    Adolf Hitler was selected as Time magazines man of the year for 1938, he turned out a right dick also.

    Time picks the “most influential” person of the year. Not the best or brightest.

    Is there any actual evidence of mental health issues or is it excuses for being a theiving little turd?

    Mental Health Excuses are always rolled out as an excuse for the wrongdoings of scumbags, whether it be in Paris or Clonee. Exceptionally degrading and hurtful to genuine people who have these issues. The real bigots, racists and intolerant people are those who would support such criminality and condone what we have witnessed over the last 2 days.

    I do agree with them in that Ireland has a big problem with racism but this problem is deeply entrenched in the woke themselves, and seems that some certain Ethnic minorities exhibit far higher levels of Racism towards Native White Irish people than receive in return from them.

    When something happens on the battlefield, we'll give you a call.

    No need for that.

    I must point out that while on armed duty in the State, the DF would adhere to their own degrees of force which include ones I have stated. So your comment of the "battlefield", suggesting that's the only place I have experience of operating, is ignorant. Our conditions of how and when we utilise live ammunition is not defunct because we are not first responders to armed incidents, they are equally apt at home and on the "battlefield".

    I have been in situations on and off island where the legitimate decision to use live ammunition has been a valid consideration. No need for the belittling remark about the "battlefield". I highly doubt you have ever been in that situation and I would suggest I'm vastly more experienced and qualified to speak on the matter or any type of "shots" than you.

    So wind your head in.

    The Gardaí DO NOT fire warning shots. They absolutely DO NOT fire them on a street of semi detached homes full of people.

    That's fine, I was just commenting that these type of shots, do indeed exist. I did also say that maybe they don't exist in AGS. Also, warning shots are not indiscriminate shots, they are carefully aimed at the ground....not whatever you seem to think above.

    How do I know? A close and intimate relative of mine IS a specialist armed Garda, not involved in any way in this incident.

    Great, I also know number of former colleagues that are now part of armed specialist AGS units. I have also worked in close co-operation with them. Big deal.

    So concerned are Garda management at the risk of innocent bystanders getting caught up in any engagement of live firing by their Members (mainly driven by armed patrolling of Kinahan/Hutch flashpoints), they withdrew and replaced all their 9mm ammunition last year and spent a large amount replacing it with reduced power and less fragmentation options, so that if they shoot someone, its more likely the bullet with enter the target and stay there without fragmenting and leaving the body in pieces at unpredictable angles, potentially hitting someone else.

    That's great.

    So, when it came to the suspect the other day, they only shot him 5 times (and we don't know how many of those shots impacted him) , because it took 5 shots to get him to stop what be was doing and to put him on the ground. No warning shots, he was long past warnings by the time a Garda discharged a firearm.

    Yeah I agree, not sure why you are directing that at me. I am well aware that 1 shot may never be enough to neutralise the threat.

    That's enough OT from me but im fully behind AGS actions of the day.

    The stuff that was said outside that shop to the people inside must surely be actionable

    Simply because they called the gards after the guy assaulted the shop assistant and had produced a knife.

    I often wonder about SF.

    I know some shinners myself - none strike me as the woke politics type - very much the opposite! A couple are the biggest racists you'll meet while the rest thread a very thin line.

    They seem way out of touch with their base, the ones I know anyway.

    About 10-15 years ago I had a shinner boasting to me that most graduates from politics courses at third level were SF. You can see how that worked out for them.

    Adams comments about equality being a trojan horse they'd use to "break the bastards" will tell you how SF thought they ride the wave that became known as woke, truth is you dont ride a wave, you just get carried along to wherever it goes, as SF are finding out now.

    The Gardai will have seen every video posted on social media remember the black gangs arrangement of fights in town, The Gardai were all over it.

    What was done though?

    Now we have new covid laws and I'll bet my house not one will be issued a fine.....

    Well, it'd be pretty racist to issue fines, wouldn't it? :confused:

    I think there is a big divide within Sinn Fein support that hasn't really become apparent, and probably only would once in Government. Seems much bigger than other parties and would make the one in the Greens seem small.

    Have certainly seen a divergence of opinion amongst SF supporters on this issue, and it's probably no surprise that the TDs have kept it pretty quiet and sensible with their statements.


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,998 ✭✭✭Augme


    Lynn Ruanne was on RTE last night looking all smug after telling us tax payers to kiss her arse for criticising her after she called the Gards racist.

    Absolutely disgraceful.

    Then Hazel Chu joined in with her, the Lord Mayor of Dublin.

    Who's gonna hold them accountable?

    Noone, great little country.


    eh, well, in Hazel Chu case the general public do. Can't really argue with that tbh.


  • Registered Users Posts: 860 ✭✭✭UDAWINNER


    doesn't matter if the attacker was white, green, black, etc if you're attacking people with a knife then you're scum and deserve everything you get.
    The gardai should have battered those protestors as well, same tactics as they did with the english scum at landsdowne road in 1995. Drew Harris should be out explaing why innocent people were trapped inside a shop and others attacked for being out and about. Yet no arrests were made, is the reason is that attckers were black and they would accused of Racism. Minister of Justice needs to get off her ass as well or resign if she doesn't have the gumption to do whats right

    Not to cast aspersions on your training or the validity of your qualifications but warning shots are mostly TV fiction. If they did occur by a police service then shooting into the ground is the last place you want to be firing. Horizontal and ground-wards aren't the brightest places to be letting off a bullet and if a service was providing that solution in training then you're living in a bone-headed country with a whacky police service.

    Military can and do use warning shots (but even then it would wanna be some fairly hairy situation that you're not controlling and it would never be a top of the list option).

    Social media organisers organised a vigil / protest re George Nkencho at the Spire and in Eyre Square today (that despite the nationwide lockdown)
    https://twitter.com/merj_ireland/status/1344986961002508288?s=20

    https://i.imgflip.com/4s8plp.jpg

    They advised ...
    This is a public display of mourning so keep the tone respectful

    Ironically they then post this - detailing the chant for this 'respectful' 'vigil' calling out all those racist "cops" / "gardai" / "army" killing black people

    4s8po3.jpg

    How exactly is any of that blatant hate speech 'respectful' or even based on a fact?

    This is the type of disgusting organised baiting that does no one any favours.

  • Registered Users Posts: 15,971 ✭✭✭✭Spanish Eyes


    The irony is, if politicians stood up for law abiding society and condemned law breakers regardless of race or creed, I think they would command a lot more respect. Our AGS deserve thanks and support also. We should be allowed to say things that are true.

    I’ve never been more sickened by commentary about this incident from those who should bloody well know better. As you can see I am fed up with the cover up of truth and twisting of words just because the thug who was shot was black. That’s the truth.


  • Registered Users Posts: 24,644 ✭✭✭✭punisher5112

    This will fund an absolute disgusting show of defiance and two fingers up to the tax payers of this country.....

    ‘How many people are these garda gonna kill’. I’ve a feeling that’s just how many people are these cops gonna kill reworded from American protests. Further backs up my point is this protests is looking more like a trend that a social injustice March. They have just found their ‘reason’ to do it.
