What are the odds tubs will have the family on the late late! Well, maybe not the brother!

Nothing too controversial

Only if one wants to be coddled in bubble wrap. We heard nothing from any of George's victims for balance. Shameful bias.

Maybe I missed it but did they even mention George trying to stab the gardai?

Just thinking the same thing. Focused on the family supposedly being behind the door, gardai being in the garden etc but don't recall a mention of the fact he was shot for attacking the Gardai.

Oh my no! That would not suit the “narrative” at all.

Nothing at all, just a man out walking his knife and gets shot by Gardaí.

From what you guys are describing it sounds like low budget time filler. The research has already been done online (low cost of production), so just a case of getting some stock footage and rounding up some of the media talking heads from the week to repeat "the narrative".

Tubs will get his hair in corn rows for the occasion and will refer to the brother as "blud" and "fam" and punctuate every sentence with "innit".

Absolute abhorrent lies. Its very clear RTE has turned its back on the irish people to feed into this stupid multicultural agenda, an absolute disgrace

I'm sure they will argue that to mention his alledged actions (stabbing a shop assistant), attacking unarmed Gardai etc) would be premature until after an investigation has happened.

Anyway they were far too busy telling us in detail how the racist Gardai ganged up on him and shot him in cold blood.

Didnt watch it because as I had a feeling it would be 1 sided.

If anyone thinks it was a shambles and in contravention of the below, feel free to use the Feedback email. While it was not a "news broadcast", im sure it was against Sec 39(1)(a).

feedback@rte.ie

"If you wish to make a formal complaint about a broadcast please read the following sections carefully as they set out how to use this process.

RTÉ is obliged under Section 39 (1) of the Broadcasting Act 2009 to ensure that:

(a) all news broadcast is reported and presented in an objective and impartial manner and without any expression of the broadcaster’s own views."

Oh look here coincidentally here comes his two man white legal team..ya see we are not racist and these guys will get you well compensated for all the horrible wrong doing....should those ambulance chasers not be in the spar with the actual victim who should sue the state for ignoring such a desperately ill and deranged poor man...

RTE are so biased on this. They're making a martyr out of him.

Am I right in saying the sister called the knife his protector or did I misunderstand that?

(The guy in the supermarket )

Has that ever been proven? It is supposedly a fabrication.

Ah sure a nice little piece of reporting to ensure the cultural diversity quotient is met ...... RTEs agenda is becoming so devisive it is doing the exact opposite of what I presume they believe they are trying to do. But remember this is the luvvies view of the world, which is far more rose tinted and idealistic than reality. Therefore I always take anything they present with a large dose of salt and scepticism.

I severely hope you are misunderstood, thats absolutely insane if true

Hellokitty1212

I’m just off a Facebook chat where I asked a pal who believes the whole story - every bit.

I asked “what kind of mental health issues did he have ? Anxiety like my wife has? Dementia like the mother in law ? autism like next door’s wee one ???”

“He was in a mental health crisis”

Few minutes of back and forward and ending in “why can’t you just accept he was ill??”

There’s no moving some people from their views, no matter how deluded.

didnt bother watching it myself , knew what to expect

will wait for the GSOC report , its still possible the guards messed up but even they did , the carry on by Paul Murphy , Brid Smith and Hazel Chu was disgraceful in how they more or less accused AGS of racial policing ( first non white person ever killed ) , RTE gave them a complete pass as did the rest of the media

No they didnt.
Don't know why he are all getting so worked up about it. It was a puff piece, nothing in it

I’m sure she said he was carrying his protector and I understood it to mean the knife?

That’s the point, it’s a news and current affairs programme - it’s not there to puff up anyone.

Nothing. They get 0 public funding.

Garda firing stray bullets into a household is surely a serious breach of procedures though, we had to shoot the occupants to save them.

Meeoow

Gsoc saying it will be a criminal investigation now. Sounds like they are going to throw the guard under the bus.
