    Why do they try to get in to the shopping centre instead of a vigil at the house where he was killed?

    You don't get Nikes and other free stuff and some boring vigil that's why.

    No justice? He got the justice he deserved, the scumbag. The only problem is that there seem to be many more scumbags like him, going on that march.

    I am cringing for them but in fairness I can see why they would rally behind each other during these times. In Ireland, their tribe is African Irish, ofc many will not condone this man but for those who feel marginalized, isolated or alienated in a country that they don't truly feel represents them, it makes sense they would use moments like this for unity.

    The only thing I don't really understand is how the non-lethal force failed to stop him.

    I thought a taser basically stops you in your tracks? Unless they missed and then he lunged?

    It's depends if he was off his head on drugs it would have little or no effect on him

    All I can say is that I'm grateful for boards today. If twitter was your only source you could be convinced that a lot of people had lost their marbles.

    Not often is say that!

    Give it over ffs.

    They get free houses, free education, free whatever they want.

    Why would they feel marginalised?

    Are you for real?

    George Floyd was justifiably apprehended and arrested, not because he was an innocent man. He was involved in criminality. Hence the police acted

    The issue with Foyd is what happened when he was on the ground being restrained...

    Murdered? Have I missed something?

    The way he was restrained was not justified and he was murdered. He made no attempt to attack police and despite pleas and screams that “I can’t breathe” he refused to lift his knee. That’s not nearly the same as this case and is completely sickening to see it dragged up.

    This George attacked multiple people including a Garda with a machete.

    George floyd was suffocated for no reason, that’s the difference.

    Coming back courtesy of Labour.

    I think that particular campaign, which was dug up from its grave recently by Alan Kelly, to try to make himself relevant in any way, was one of the most naive, politically ill judged, pointless and mistimed suggestions from any Party of recent decades.

    It could only have come from the desk of the Comical Ali of water charges.

    In 2004, before the financial crash, before the migrant crisis in Europe, before direct provision and everything else, the result was 80-20. One could only imagine how close to 100% it would be now.

    Alan Kelly is a uniquely poor politician.

    People need to start focussing on themselves and how to get through the next few months. Rather than looking to be outraged by events they cannot control. One weeks its female rights the next its Black Lives Matter. Progress is being made on both but equality is impossible. Equal opportunity will never equal the outcome.

    A lot of politicians should learn to keep their mouths shut until all the facts come out on this; the general public is not twitter.

    In fairness it's a really bad tweet...''who lost so much at the nads of the AGS'.. Though she is only following the Minister for Justice and the Lord Mayor of Dublin.

    I don't give a **** about them.

    Do you feel sorry for that poor manager in Spar?
    Do you feel sorry for the poor Guard who was forced to take the shots?
    Do you feel sorry for all the people this scumbag terrorised?:mad:

    for the guys in the shop yes of course i do,
    for the garda, not in the slightest and i hope he faces a full independent investigation.
    and I won't call the deceased a scumbag he had serious mental health issues and didn't deserve to die.

    Their tribe, go away out of that. Their tribes are in Africa, they are Irish, time for them to realise that and cop on.

    So they attack the very Spar that he robbed.

    These people are pretty thick. Not some of our brightest.

    They would be lucky to get an Xbox Series X even PS5s are super hard to find right now.

    It was a loophole. The country voted in overwhelming numbers to close the loophole. Many of our politicians now wish to reintroduce it.

    Yes, 15 years ago, and the amendment grandfathered (i.e. did not disqualify) anyone who had acquired citizenship beforehand. There is no loophole. They are citizens, by law.

    I agree with you. But I'm just getting why they are using this event to protest. Probably don't have perspective, don't feel immersed in the country they live in, feel like victims because they've allowed a narrative of injustice to corrupt their mind. From the videos above, I've seen two white people, the rest are African.
