Interesting when something like this happens in our own country and people suddenly take the side of the police.

When it's in America, they view it differently.

It's not surprising or anything to worry about. In Ireland, policy shootings are incredibly rare so the starting position should be that they were justified.

It is only scum would side with scum, this was not some innocent person killed, this was a criminal on a rampage and for the Guards it was kill or have one of them stabbed and potentially killed.

That will and should be remembered when she seeks to get elected to the dail. If I’m a politician now who would be in opposition I’m saving that.

So perhaps it's time Irish people to shut up about American issues?

Initial articles on the times and RTE are promising, no mention of race.

They only mention race when it involves some happy clappy stuff. You can nearly guess the background of a serious offender now by the media NOT mentioning their names!

RTE will have him on the fkn "Peoples Angelus" if some of them had their way.

I thought this was an excellent tweet in response to Helen Chu:

It is NYE tomorrow, media will be on the sauce. Hopefully there will be very little WOKISM over the weekend too. Media need to dial into the zeitgeist of this nation.

I will be communicating with that Greenie fecker if he stays awake for more than two hours at a stretch. They are a disgrace if they do not tell Chu to go to hell now.

Please do contact them. It is the only way they will learn that the electorate will not tolerate this type of thing.

What the hell is Hazel Chu at? I seen her Twitter post earlier but now it's gone.
What is she doing? She's had a rethink and realised her post is flaming the mob? What kind of people get these positions of authority.
I'm not in Dublin but I'd be contacting the council if she was my mayor. She needs to be checked for that stuff.
Whatever about Coppinger, she isn't a politician now and should be ignored but Hazel is and she carries authority by virtue of the position she's need given.

Someone probably pointed out to her that George was a psychopath who stood out for his level of violence, and was considered volatile even by organized criminals in West Dublin.

Or perhaps they can grasp the difference between armed vs unarmed, violent vs non-violent, detained vs charging etc.

We don't yet know what knowledge the Gardai had as to whether anyone was in the house or not

The house being a residential dwelling, it’s reasonable of them to assume there were.

Oh there's no great mystery to it, none at all in fact. UCD, Trinity, most if not all of third level academia are fully imbedded into the SJW establishment, along with the Irish Times and RTE. The Indo is an outlier of resistance (for the time being), though I dislike the paper for other reasons.

'Outlier of resistance' is probably the wrong turn of phrase. What I should have said was that the Indo/Sindo are populist, but they are not actively engaged in combating or resisting the SJW agenda, they just steer clear of it.

Other countries, such as the UK and USA, have an active conservative anti-SJW media - Breitbart, Spiked Online, the Spectator and numerous others. We have none, excepting perhaps the Iona Institute, which really only represents conservative Catholics. It does not represent me, and I certainly oppose the infestation of the left by SJW b.ull****. The likes of the universities, the Irish Times and RTE are not populist. They are deliberately, and intentionally, trying to change the values of society to bring them into alignment with their values. They are doing so in plain sight.

They should immediately be dispersed. No social distancing going on at all.

“Why was George shot?”

He tried to stab at a Garda.

Is Murphy or that other clown Coppinger there?

McMurphy · 31-12-2020 1:07pm

Couldn't care less what colour of skin your man had, if you are waving a knife around threatening the lives of others (especially members of the Gardai) what else do you expect other than to be taken down, if that means fatally so be it.

This shouldn't be allowed to turn into a race issue, he was dealt with the same way your man Mark Hennessy was who killed the young lady from the Philippines -there was no racism at play in that incident either, white Irish male lunged at cops with a knife/blade - armed police responded!

It's simple really, If you're going to come here and wish to live in our society, that means accepting the laws and repercussions of threatening the lives of others.

ElJeffe · 31-12-2020 1:09pm

Time to deploy the water cannon.

They've a go fund me for his funeral costs also if anyone wants to chip in.

I suspect anyone claiming racism knows well enough it wasn’t, they just need something to be outraged by so they get loads of retweets and feel important.

I poked the hornets nest on Twitter yesterday before I went to bed, I don’t know if I wanna check what awaits me. :pac:

I don’t think everyone knows what a machete is

1264321?$456$

While it’s technically a knife, it’s more like a sword, and it’s not intended for cutting or stabbing, it’s for hacking and slashing

If anyone attacks another person with a machete then their intention is to do serious brutal life changing harm to that person and if someone came at me or someone else swinging a machete and I had a gun, I don’t care what color skin he has, I’m gonna shoot him

I think this is getting way overlooked too, there’s a huge, HUGE difference between a knife and a machete like you said.

He didn’t set out to scare he set out to harm.

No thanks, I'll use the money on a chipper instead.
