    You seriously can see no contradiction here?


    There is no contradiction. Just because they don't take the specific approach to policing i would take, doesn't mean I don't support them.

    Sure you can’t aim it centre mass, you need to shoot the baby finger nail or at a stretch the Achilles’ tendon. And if you can’t do that well the stab wound shouldn’t hurt too much but at least you won’t be a wacist.

    The mind boggles from all these posters advocating just inflicting a non-fatal wound.... They tried for a good while to talk him out of it ( begs the question, why were his Family and friends not involved at that stage ??? ) Then they tried tazering, but that failed too. ( very strange, but I have heard of animals breaking through electric fencing , so its not impossible, especially if the tazer was not functioning 100% ) Then they tried with pepper spray..also failed, I'd say that was because they were unable to get close enought to his face for that to work, no one wanted to get inside the radius of a swinging machete, and rightly so. Had George got that close to a Guarda, there would have been a good chance that a Guarda would have been at least seriously injured or even killed. Killing him was the option of last resort, and definitely not a first choice.

    Which bit?



    This is nonsense and is as guilty of assuming American race politics are applicable to Ireland as the fools marching around Blanchardstown.

    No nonsense here, we have a cohort of soft minded liberals in this country who will let any sort of minority piss all over their faces as long as they score some woke points and don’t come off as being racist of any sort. Patethic limp wristed cosseted fools who have no life experience outside of their leafy suburban homes.

    I'd be surprised if most that are even thanking these posts think otherwise. But some won't and it's a handy tool to help stir the pot.

    I don't know. It seems too elaborate for you, so I won't confidently state that you've 'got it', but I wish you well with it nonetheless.

    They can put all the offences he committed on the plaque too. Hope they get very generous donations!

    The sooner this ****show is over the better for all, lessons learned by everyone hopefully
    1-this is Ireland, not America
    2-we're not really racially motivated
    3-our police force are over 90percent unarmed
    4-ethnic minorities have to obey the law as everyone else
    5-BLM in this country? Really? In Ireland all lives matter
    6-each minority including travellers - Nigerians--Roma have to donate to the economy, pay taxes, but most importantly integrate
    7-Be thankful for a house, a health service,schooling etc etc that you wouldn't receive for nothing wherever you come from, and if unhappy /unwilling to confirm, please go away and give the houses - hospital places, school places to those who deserve it

    6 is racist, 7 is slightly racist, 1 is correct. lesson to be learned ?: don't lunge at cops with a dangerous weapon.

    Post external information/images from reputable sources only

    There is little doubt that many fake messages are being circulated with the sole purpose of raising racial tensions

    Not at all. I think the truth hurts. Be a better country if 6 and 7 were followed.

    6 can be interpreted as racist when you consider how it could actually be enforced. I can't think of a non authoritarian state enforced integration policy which definitely verges on racist in the very least.

    There was a lot of racist posts on that thread. Clearly the mods also thought as much, as they deleted plenty of posts.

    There are literally thousands of posts on this thread. The vast, vast majority of them are not even remotely racist.

    But put simply should every one coming into a different country not be willing to integrate and be willing to add to the economy of the country by paying taxes to make it a better place for everyone. I still can't see why point 6 would be classed racist.

    If anyone has a reliable source for any prior convictions of George Nkencho please post it. Otherwise drop the point

    FG might hose public money around on inefficient services, but they're centre right not left.

    they vigorously court and prioritise the public sector ahead of the private sector

    they espouse increased spending over tax cuts at budget time ( albeit less than FF do )

    they never even whisper the idea of reducing welfare

    they are not remotely interested in a discussion on immigration

    they brought in gay marriage and abortion and none of their TD,s bar a few rebelled over it

    How do you enforce integration in a non racist way? This is unclear.

    That's a different thread I'm referring to. But there was a lot more racist posts on this thread before they were rightly removed.

    what is racist about treating people based on how they behave after they arrive in Ireland?
