    Its a statement from a journalist saying that Hazel Chu Claims she was racially harassed outside the place she lives on said date.

    Claims is a lovely word.

    I could claim I have the body of a Chippendale and the girth of Frankel - it’s just a claim.

    Let’s see the quotes from Chu. Because it’s not mentioned in the article, and she didn’t mention it on Claire Byrne yesterday. There was no mention of racism at all from yesterday’s protest from Chu, the Gardai or anyone else.

    Ok. Agreed. Still a lie that she supported riots.

    Glad you agree. Community leaders and politicians encouraging mass gatherings during a time of record covid cases and deaths is grossly negligent and irresponsible. It’s an affront to frontline workers and wider society. That needs to be challenged. Questioned.

    I don't know why you directed it at me. Why don't you tell me?

    I’d say it’s because you’re the one going on hysterically about it. Capitalising every second word on some posts etc.

    Where did she claim it? Where is the quote from her stating “I was racially abused by these anti mask protestors”???

    It is not a direct claim from Mrs Chu. It is the journalists words. In none of the articles linked is there a direct quote from Mrs Chu saying this protest was racist.

    There are other direct quotations from comments in the articles about racist abuse Mrs Chu claims to have received but none about his particular incident. so outside of a direct quote we have no way to be certain Mrs chu called the protest racist.

    Perhaps she did claim it racist but none of the journalist have provided any evidence of that.

    The press? Ah come off it. Ever hear of Hillsborough? The media will print what sells and almost always have an agenda one way or the other. Look at RTE at the moment, full of stuff about giving nothing but absolute unbiased truth yet they set their platform up in such a way that you know their leanings and opinions.

    A woman was arrested under public health legislation, i.e. not wearing a mask, or not keeping her distance.
    Indeed, the female member of the protestors was arrested and later fined for breaching public health laws.

    Silly but genuine question.

    Some people don't like wearing masks. Fair enough - I don't agree with them in the slightest and wish they'd **** off but for whatever reason that's their opinion. But what's their problem with others wearing them?

    No it's not fair enough. These idiots are one of the reasons why 500 people have died in the last two weeks. They need to be stopped preferably by force before they kill anyone else.

    I would worry about the non mask wearing nonsense seeing fit to protest outside the mansion house.

    I mean we should be wearing masks ..why protest against having to wear one?

    did she condemn them and say that the racist mob were wrong ?

    did she support the police of the state ?

    Or did she try a play the incident into cheap populist lies and retweets for herself.

    again she is an entirely unsuitable person to hold the position

    yes

    However slightly off topic.

    Do you think that this is a revenge thing on her?

    If Hazel Chu was indeed abused then why did not Garda arrest anyone for it?
    She is the mayor and presumably has a lot of sway over the Garda.

    There is an Irish Republican Brotherhood demo at Mansion House every year, and have been for decades.
    This year it was hijacked by conspiracy theorists.

    Can we stick to the topic of the thread and not go wildly off topic talking about QAnon or other conspiracy rubbish.

    There's a quote from the IT where Ms Chu suggests the protestors were only there because they didn't like the "look" of her
    Ms Chu said she has no issue with protests. “But you have to have a reason. It can’t just be because you don’t like the look of me. Because I can’t change that.”

    Would that imply racism or is that the protestors don't think she is good looking maybe?

    Though tbf I can't see where the posters said they didn't like " look" of her...

    She paid for it, which she clearly explained, when she qualified and started working in a different sector.

    Given the failed asylum seeker who is currently doing a free PhD in some sort of grievance studies - I’d say either a grant from some sort of NGO or the rich parents.

    Can you elaborate more on the free PHD part? Where do you do a free PHD, and how?

    No I won’t as it would off topic for this thread. Go to one of the other threads and you can read it.
