"Say his name Leo #GEORGENKENCHO. YOU need to defund and abolish the gardai. How many more young unarmed boys from minority backgrounds have to die at the hands of an inherently white supremacist police force before you act?? #BlackLivesMatter"

Lads this is mental. I'd be worried if I was in parts of Dublin this weekend.

It might be a blessing to let some of the idiots in power just what kind of society were looking at in the future unless big big big changes are made. Only have to look across the water to see what a mess there in.

I would attribute blame for this over reaction on the American news making headlines constantly here, mixing up Ireland with America. Irish people fighting culture wars in America.


Marked difference once it happens on your own doorstep.

It's reassuring to see that there are at least 307 sane people left in Ireland.

If we get pushed too far I don't think as a population we will stand for it to be honest.

As someone else said. This is all pure nonsense. The guy was a threat and lost his life because of it. Look how the guards dealt with Mark Hennessy.

No racism angle.

That’s the looper who tweeted about “inside the K” being the KKK

If anyone knows the victim(s) in the Spar and wants to start a gofundme i'd throw a few quid in

As I've said already on the thread, I'd avoid any publicity for the victims because they'd likely face reprisals.

This was coming for years.

Why Ireland thought it would be different to the world is beyond me.


Only going yo get worst.

It’s only starting, but Irish people can be told nothing. The ah sure be grand brigade are strong in this country, unfortunately fence sitting is not going to fix this problem.

Looks like we've mirrored the experience in other European countries and allowed parrallel societies to develop along race lines.

Shame there wasn't a social worker around to stop this unarmed aspiring young future engineer/astronaut/president from being cruely gunned down by the evil Gardaí for the harmless action of brandishing a weapon at multiple people.

Actually he was brandishing a knife but was otherwise unarmed.

I am absolutely sickened at a number of people in this situation. So let's clear things up. This is not Ireland George Floyd moment. Floyd was an innocent man recklessly murdered by police and suffocated to death because he paid with a fake $20 note.

This man, brutally attacked a store manager in a homophobic attack, and he's still in hospital. He lunged at, and attacked members of the Gardai with a machate, not a knife. You may as well compare a butter knife and a sword. He pushed through attempts to peacefully restrain him involving a taser and pepper spray. He was shot once, and continued his attack, he was then shot two more times.

Yes, it's always awful when Gardai are forced to use deadly force, but it was their last resort.

Now, the death has nothing to do with his skin colour, much like the crime he committed had nothing to do with skin colour. He was another scumbag, a criminal who broke the law and attempted to attack the police who tried to arrest him for public safety.

It sickens me that the far right are using this as a weapon against immigration, and it sickens me that the far left are using this as a weapon against the Gardai and nonsensical claims of discrimination against POC.

Except we were so great about spreading them around everywhere. We don't have ghettos, we just have a bunch of sub-communities within communities in every county.


At least if it was a ghetto, we could dedicate most resources to that area.


Right now, we've got many areas in West Dublin, Balbriggan, areas of Galway, Cork, etc. etc.


We've ****ed the country.

i agree, and whilst i disagree with the gardai's force, noone should be sharing his name and photo online, which they are doing his whole family could be at risk.

I'm 100% gonna have an argument with someone about this later... Just so i'm clear on the time line;

Man known to gardai for mental health issues

Man was violen towards gardai in the past

He was carrying a machete around

He attacked a guy in spar

There was another incident reported

The gardai tried to disarm with pepper spray and a taser

Neither worked

ASU called

Lunges at ASU with knife

Shot multiple times, continues to lunge

Shot again until threat eliminated

...and this outrages people?

He was black you missed that bit.;)

They are now vandalising the spar in blanchardstown that the criminal tried to rob and slashed the manager.

take everything

Where were the gangs of people running amok in a shopping centre and shouting at police outside a police station after Mark Hennessy was shot dead by police.

Waterford Whispers or the like really need to weigh in on how bizarre and cringeworthy this episode is.

It's embarrassing and kinda outrageous this is allowed to happen and dummy politicians are getting caught up in it.

Above all, we must remember that a community is grieving and fearful for their children tonight. An Garda Síochána must go above and beyond to demonstrate that they can be trusted to acknowledge and address bias, and police our communities fairly and transparently.

I live close to where the incident took place, and it was shocking - but I'm not afraid of the Gardaí. I think they did their job and protected the community (myself and others who live in the area).

Sure, they should thoroughly investigate what happened, but it still doesn't make it a race issue or an example of police brutality.

Why was it yellow!!!??

Did you smash it

Did he slash the manager? Seems some outlets are just reporting he verbally threatened staff but no mention of violence. Bit weird.

I agree i can see it exploding, this narrative of he deserved to die is driving it.

People like you are driving it. You can see how the tone of your posts has changed after you've been called out, but your aim remains the same.

You initially: claimed a man was murdered in his front garden.

Then further facts emerged.

You then implied non lethal force wasn't used.

Then further facts emerged.

You then, posted (in the now closed thread) that "police investigate police" an absolute import from the USA, implying some sort of struggle which you are apart of.

Gsoc are investigating, you know, civilians, solicitors, not guards.

Instead of pushing a narritive on here, and then moving your own goalposts, why not put in a freedom of information into your local TD. How many black people were arrested last year, as a proportion of total arrests?

Again, I think you'll find facts that put to bed your theory of some kind of racist, supercop, USA police state.

But you're the one making that case, so please produce the facts of what your getting at. Thanks.

I agree the Gardai should be disbanded.

When there is no law and order it will feel just like home for the African immigrants.

Sadly not. Or rather how Irish is their citizenship? If anyone is here because of the birthright loophole, or here illegally, or as euphemistically put "undocumented", then IMHO the option for deportation for crimes against the Irish state and people should most certainly be in play, no matter the colour of skin. Deport them back to Russia, Nigeria, Georgia or wherever.

This is the kind of racist bollocks that gives fuel to the idiots trying to turn this incident into one of race.

"How Irish is their citizenship" ffs. If they're Irish citizens, somewhat straightforwardly, then their citizenship is as Irish as you or mine.

"Birthright loophole". It's not a loophole, it's the law ffs.

It's entirely possible to refute the "this was a racist killing" arguement without resorting to being a massive racist.

It sickens me that the genie is well and truly out of the bottle now.
But then again people on both sides wanted this. Whipped themselves into a frenzy over what was happening in the states.

The virus is here now.
