    You know what I hope the Gardai evacuate the station safely and that the protesters burn it down. We need some sort of craziness to happen for our politicians to realise these antics are not right.

    Stick to your video game fantasy land lad.

    Mental health does not preclude you from being a scumbag. In a better world, we would have supports to help people who are not compatible with society become functional members of it, but this extends to the most abhorrent of criminals.

    Very interesting to see the SJW's victim blame.

    The only racists are those that think one of them was shot - that's the us vs them mentality. It doesn't matter he was a dangerous criminal on the lose, all that matters is that he was one of them.

    Bit early to say (a) that it's our George Floyd moment, or (b) that it was justified.

    It's a bit early to say anything. Why don't you all sit back and await the findings of the enquiry? That's assuming of course that you didn't witness the incident

    Wut?

    It might be the only thing to show the protestors as aggressors. Having the Gardai disperse them or arrest them will only fuel their victimhood.

    The road is closed at the police station at Blanch as well. So there must be a lot there.

    I live in the area, about a mile from where the violent offender was rightfully dealt with by the
    Gardai.

    Been out and about all morning. Hundreds of people are going about their business, entirely unperturbed by this event. It hasn’t even featured on our local WhatsApp security group.

    The count of protestors down at Blanchardstown station and the head cases amplifying this incident on social media, are a minuscule % of the Dublin 15 population.

    I'd a browse over on Twitter, yikes.

    In a supportive Tweet to a Hazel Chu post (whatever business she has in sticking her nose into it) some middle aged Irish guy said the Gardaí should have shot the knife.

    That's the level folks, that's the ****ing level.

    #shoottheknife

    I blame Hollywood :D

    Glad to see people ignoring it. Everyone knows it was justified. If he had of attacked a young family or a child I wonder would they protest the same??
    Don't care what colour he was. White brown black i don't care. It was justified and the garda done the right option there. Streets are safe again

    This QI clip notes what happens when people are shot and the misconceptions.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H1XjyU0-6bA


    People usually don't fall down when they're shot because they've been shot, but because they realise they've been shot.

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.

    "old ppl go home" another one whatever thats about

    They don't see their community the same way Irish people do, they're more like a huge extended family with a strong ingroup preference. If you cross one of them you cross all of them. That's not some conclusion I came to myself, Africans say that about themselves. Just look at the posts on social media of people in other countries calling him "brother". Europeans, especially in the English speaking parts, are the most individualistic people in the world. This is why so many Irish people are finding it so difficult to understand why Africans see this as racism.

    Anyone protesting should have their welfare stopped.

    Theyre not looking for work.

    Well I'm hearing he might have had a psychotic break. Now I am not a psychologist and I know people on such breaks vary in severity but it could colour the situation for me. Not to say that the Gardai were wrong but to say that some of the reporting around it using words like thug might be unhelpful.

    “He’s having a psychotic break Sgt Murphy, your just gonna have to let him stab you”.

    I wonder what the collective cost of that crowd is to the Irish taxpayer thus far.
    And all because we had spineless politicians who didn't deport failed asylum seekers.

    Oh I agree. I imagine those on twitter are many multiples of those in the area that agree with the protests. Especially when you think about the size of the population in the area I am sure its a very small percentage.

    I can't imagine they will be there for long anyway its a horrible day to be out today.
