    You're the one supporting violent agressive intimidation

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    🤣 People are not smiling, happy and joyous while screaming and shouting agressively.

    What happened in Ballymun was an agressive hate fuelled intimidatory mob were screaming outside where people currently live.

    They should do the usual march from parnell to government buildings if they want to protest against the government policy.

    Gathering outside where the people are staying seems a bit out of order imo.

    And you support uninvited guests of our country aggressively throwing things at its citizens. Good to know.

    I have no idea what you are on about. You're the one supporting the agressive intimidatory hate fueled mob in Ballymun.

    Remember that our own Peter "Rent-A-Peasant" Sutherland, from that lovely GS firm, was one of the very first champions of this EU top-down agenda. In terms of service to Ireland he deserves to stand right alongside O'Gorman, McEntee and Varadkar. You can see the abundance of care written all over their beautiful faces ;-)



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 41,096 ✭✭✭✭Annasopra


    Exactly. And people here claiming thats "peaceful". Its not. Its agressive and intimidatory mob hate.

    And what percentage of the failed 61% were deported ?

    Also why pick on 2021 when at the height of covid travel restrictions ?

    What are you trying to hide ?

    Shure when it was in the likes of Achill and Oughterard they were inbred culchies.

    You are bullshyting the whole time.

    You throw out the old tropes about vulnerable women and children and warzones.

    When there is not a mention of single young men from North Africa, Albania, Georgia, Horn of Africa.

    Oh and then trott out another bullshyte statement that we are getting Georgians because of Russian invasion of Ukraine.

    If so then where are the Moldovans, Armenians, Azerbaijians ?

    People are copping on at a rate of knots.

    The old women and children fleeing warzones has worn very thin when a bus drops a load of young single men in a village, town or poorer suburb.

    And people are damn right to protest, although I think the biggest way of doing it is to target the owners of the "refugee industry" businesses and the politicians themselves.

    I forecast a lot more bags of shyte winging their way towards politicians who now are nothing but Quislings.

    I am not allowed discuss …

    Anyone know who organized it?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,668 ✭✭✭DebDynamite


    Video posted a few pages back. It’s over an hour long, but at one stage during the protest outside the hotel, someone in the hotel rooms above threw the contents of a can of Coke down on the protesters. There was a voice that also mentioned spitting, but not sure if that happened. Don’t think it barely registered with a lot of the people there tbh. During the protests there was a few voices (organizers I’d imagine) reminding the people to be calm, as they didn’t want any thing kicking off, and to be fair there was no trouble from what I could see. The guards showed up, nothing was happening, so at they seemed to leave.

    Hang on, are you saying that all you've somehow seen is someone throwing the contents of a can of coke? Like the liquid inside?

    The gates to the lunatic asylum have been opened.

    Even though the CMH has been transferred to the Land Development Agency LDA,

    I am hearing locally that its to house asylum seekers / refugees for at least 2 years.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,860 ✭✭✭hynesie08


    Did they throw a can of coke or the contents of a can of coke?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,860 ✭✭✭hynesie08


    Ah but you see the racists and the scrotes don't represent the crowd, they just make up the majority of it apparently.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 41,096 ✭✭✭✭Annasopra


    Yep.


    Thats what it is an agressive hate fuelled mob. The attempts to justify it because someone threw a can of coke and the violent mob was seen to be smiling and joyous are absolutely pathetic.

  • Registered Users Posts: 1,876 ✭✭✭bokale


    Yes I don't think it's a good way to protest and not something anyone should be celebrating.

    Also I'm not sure why anyone would involve themselves with anything organised by those national party guys. Its sad to see people in the videos supporting these kind of parties.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 41,096 ✭✭✭✭Annasopra


    Put it this way

    If the people here supporting them had that mob turning up outside their house screaming "get them out" theyd soon change their attitude. Its vile disgusting hate fuelled intimidation that doesnt belong anywhere in a civilised society. Shame on them and shame on the people supporting.

    Well if they feel "intimidated" then they can be offered a free trip home where the reassuring familiarity of their native countries will relieve their stress.



  • Registered Users Posts: 1,146 ✭✭✭lmao10


    Not going to happen I'm afraid. I know it's painful to accept but realistically they are not going anywhere are they?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 41,096 ✭✭✭✭Annasopra


    Its absolutely vile and disgusting behaviour to be screaming "get them out" outside where someone lives. It isnt "intimidating". Its agressive and intimidating.

    Like it or not, acknowledge it or not, we as citizens and taxpayers are being taken for a ride by all sides here at this stage. From the politicians, the NGOs, the housing authorities and the chancers who turn up with a sob story that undermine the whole process and discredit those who are legitimate and genuinely in need.

    Was getting a haircut last week in the local Turkish barber and 2 somewhat disheveled lads ahead of me - one of which was having a great chat in Turkish with the barber. Turns out (as he told me after) that the lads had arrived by hiding out in/under a truck from France, and now of course they're our problem.

    It's no wonder we can't provide housing and services when we refuse to recognise that the word is out to all and sundry at this stage that Ireland is a soft touch and open for exploitation by those with the neck to do so.



  • Registered Users Posts: 2,147 ✭✭✭TonyMaloney


    Yeah, the lack of housing might be the asylum seekers fault.

    Or could it possibly be due to us building **** all houses for the last 10 years? Nah you're right, it's those scrounging foreigners.



  • Registered Users Posts: 265 ✭✭high_tower


    I still don’t understand why the gov want them. They’re costing a fortune and there’s nowhere for them.

    what’s up with the governments thick response ??



  • Registered Users Posts: 265 ✭✭high_tower


    As much as I don’t like Leo I doubt he’s an idiot despite behaving like one here.



  • Registered Users Posts: 265 ✭✭high_tower


    Do you think the extra numbers are going to help the housing crises ????

    and how are they not scroungers. They’re getting accommodation and benefits that they’ve done zero to deserve.

    The Housing Minister is disturbed by the protests in Ballymun

  • Registered Users Posts: 9,841 ✭✭✭buried


    Lack of housing, exactly. So what is Minister O'Gorman doing, by basically inviting and promising countless numbers of people into a situation that does not exist, a situation that is a remit and responsibility of the government that O'Gorman is also a part of? He's either inept or is trying to sow the seeds of inevitable conflict.
