George Nkencho shooting *Mod warning Added to OP*

Shelga

Does anyone have any actual data or statistics about crime in this community? Or do some people just like to go on long rambling essays about how multiculturalism doesn't work, but it especially doesn't work if you're black and not white?

There was one violent criminal who has been killed because he wouldn't drop his weapon. Isn't that the focus of this thread?

Everytime I read a post from someone saying they should have shot him in the arms or legs or what ever, I'm instantly reminded of that scene from Indiana Jones where the lad jumps out with the machete, does all this mad **** then Jones shoots him.

A doctored version of that is doing the rounds on whatsapp

So he didn’t mention him?

“My sympathies go to the family of the young man who lost his life in Clonee yesterday”

His “thoughts” went to the Gardai and the shop workers..

Nothing made up there pal...And if you think that’s a rant about this elephant in the room, I haven’t even started.

Our law enforcers going about their business, a shop manager,his staff and customers going about their day and this kicks off. Believe me, in other jurisdictions this would have ended a lot sooner than it did...

And believe me, the GS involved didn’t wake up expecting the day to unfold the way it did..

There's no mention of him there. He Sympathised with the family, said his thoughts were with the victims and asked public representatives not to add to speculation.

He said what anyone should have said in his position while idiots left right and center were calling for investigations.

Did you know

Not walking around with a knife, not assaulting people and not lunging at Gardai with a knife reduces your chances of getting shot by 100%

Remarks made yesterday and today by a lot of public figures were disgraceful. You wonder were they on the eggnog all week.

Ah sure, you know politicians. They never quite know what to say, but that doesn't stop them bypassing common sense and opening their traps anyway.

Hey now, I was just stating that your loophole was only five years long and this guy fell outside it when you asked me his age.

Cool. I’m glad I could provide clarity for you as to how this man and his family ended up in West Dublin and remain domiciled there.

Perhaps you’ll reconsider your ill tempered response to my original post?

Well, has there even been a thread in Current Affairs that hasn't turned into an immigration thread, or a left vs right thread?

..haven't found the area particularly rough to live in myself, although there definitely is plenty of crime. Not planning to go out tonight, though - never seen scenes like that before.

Absolute chaos in Dublin today. Surely if the gardai were racist theyd be battering them...but they can't because "racism". It's not about equal rights it's about getting one over one everyone else. These thugs are laughing at us all.

Can I ask how you know this? There's a lot of unsubstantiated "facts" on this thread.

Out of the whole Twitter sh*t show by a number of politicians on this, it doesn't make sense to go at Leo as media whoring. He didn't sympathise with a thug, he gave condolences to a family that have lost a member. He mentioned the guards and shop employees. He urged public reps not to speculate on social media too, not sure what the gripe is there with him out of the others that have been spouting misinformation and stirring animosity.

So where does a trained negotiator fit in ?

Why 5 shots ?

Yes it's all part of the Garda training. The question clearly is whether that training was followed & whether it is appropriate when possible dealing with someone with mental health issues.

A trained negotiator fits into Hollywood action movies.

5 shots because it took the fifth shot to drop him.

Training seems to have been followed.

When a Garda/civilian life is at risk, mental health issues go out the window.

Any other questions??

Yeah, as much as I'm not a fan of him, that was a decent tweet on it, especially compared with Chu etc al.

No Gardai wear body cams. Not the ERU or ASU. None.

Agree big time. Compared to the nuisance leftists, the lunatic racists, and the Minister for Justice, his are easily the best comments. Condolences to the family does not mean he's ignoring the dead man's actions etc.

Out of curiosity, in the heat of the moment yesterday, how exactly were the guards supposed to do a mental health check on a guy waving a weapon at them?

From now on all Gardai will have to carry a deck of cards with ink blobs on them in order to carry out random Rorschach tests.

It's obviously not working.
Ask the people who live in these areas tonight who have to witness these scrouts go ape sh*it.
Ask the people trapped in spar while trying to get there shopping.
Ask the woman who got 10 punches off these feral dogs this eve.
It's not working

Fair play to Vardakar, measured responsible tweet unlike that weasel Paul murphy who questioned was he shot because he was black, who the **** votes for that little guy.

AS far as things go regarding this the fool attacked innocent people in 2 other locations with a knife, if that wasn't bad enough he was threatening Gardaí with the knife who were telling him to drop it and to top it all off he challenged the Motherfúcking Armed Response Unit, the guys who go after hardened criminals as well. I mean seriously what did you think was going to happen? You don't threaten guards with a weapon period, he crossed a major line in doing so and in this case he won himself a bloody Darwin award for his stupidity.

As for the rest of that crowd of Failbook and Twatter wasters they need to cop the fúck on. This is not America. This was a violent and aggressive individual who attacked 2 other people with a knife and hospitalised one other before challenging the Gardai armed with a weapon. Mental Health bullshít be damned, your not gonna find sympathy from many on this considering the circumstances. People don't get shot by the Guards in this country unless they've literally run out of options and they're an immediate and dangerous threat.

Race is irrelevant this is what happens every damn time when you go full retard challenging police armed with a weapon.

Malcontents.

How Soon Is Now

Only after seeing all the videos of "protestors" attacking and harassing random people in Blanch makes me ****ing sick.

We shouldn't be getting this kinda bull**** happening in Ireland ever!
