The last I seen of the original one it had reached about 22k, the target was changed to 30k and the description changed from helping pay for the funeral to help cover legal fees.

There was a second one that was at about 1500 quid too. At one point there were 9 pages but only the first two were funded.

I presume the first two were cashed out.

I see another GFM page for his funeral...... yer man is aiming for €5,000 to cover the funeral. How many funerals can a guy have??

cough cough ahem say no more

Does she feel compelled to stand up for Nigerian children accused of witchcraft and made to live as outcasts in Nigerian communities living off of scraps and beaten and chastised for the bad luck they supposedly bring?

On the whole, Ireland is a much safer and more tolerant place to be a Nigerian than Nigeria itself particularly in light of the real police brutality Nigerian people face in their own country on a daily basis (12 protestors shot dead by police in Lagos in October of last year for example).

Nigerian government officials making statements about police brutality in Ireland are utterly contemptible when this is taken into consideration.

Ireland is not an institutionally racist country and our police force aren't either.

George Nkencho was a troubled man who made some dreadful decisions leading to his death but he wasn't shot for being black. Anyone who can't comprehend that is not worthy of being listened to.

Of course he didn't.

There is a reason why the Irish Media are not asking any hard questions about the background of the George Nkencho shooting. Because if they did, the biggest can of worms that ever existed, would spill out into the open. Irish mainstream media obviously believe that to delve into the reasons why George Nkencho thought he was above the law, would show that there is a new segment of our society who believe that they are untouchable. They just have to utter the "R" word.

I just dont know what to say, children!, fair play for the irish examiner for reporting on it?, this is the failure of an open, unregulated immigration policy, honestly, we need to take an Australian outlook on this, a be more inflexible and really anyone coming here needs to be strictly vetted and on a points system, anyone that is involved in any kind of crime (even from within the EU) needs to be deported and banned from reentering, I was told this wasnt possible but later that its not true and we dont have to follow if we please.
Time to crack down, not saying everyone is involved but, with the numbers tying up immigration, no one can check who is who or genuine or not, fast track cases and stop admitting anyone that doesnt have employment from within the EU or an invitation to a job if outside the EU.
On this alone, Id be in favour of ID cards and for civil liberties I was against ID cards, either legit drivers licence, passport or State ID.
Any liberal lefties alright with kids being raped?


Im not suggesting that chap George was involved in this, but I think this was not hsi first rodeo regarding crime, no one just ups and takes a knife to the shops, incidents with his own family. State needs to take a harder line and redouble their efforts to rid this country of a lot of people here who add nothing, but take from the system, nigerians thinking this country is racist, thats a joke, if their parents came here and they cant get it together with our schools and supports compared to Nigeria or whatever country they came from then they were never going to make it, arriving here is like winning the lotto.

Sorry why would you expect him to be answerable for the crimes of people he's only connected to through nationality?

Lagos is 7752 kilometers from Dublin. On a good day 14-20 hours traveling time.

Why did they come here ? How did they get here ? There are ZERO.. direct flights... !

If they arrive in the UK, surely they get refused entry...? No visa ? Can’t just arrive in Gatwick and say.. “ it’s alright, I’m just connecting through to Dublin...I want they give us a house and money and a nice place to live “.

Relief for the Garda. Dreadfully long wait to get to today.

There is no right thinking person alive who would see it as anything other than the correct decision.

The issue is why these things take so long.

Correct decision, but according to the media the family is going to appeal which I think is a wrong decision to prolonged this! I am not sure what they are looking to gain from it?

A moments silence for the race baiting Irish media who so desperately wanted their own George Floyd moment.

The right decision was reached.

Relatives of George Nkencho, the young black man shot dead by gardaí outside his home, have filed personal injury actions against the Garda Commissioner.

The proceedings have been initiated in the High Court by two siblings who came on the scene in the direct aftermath of the shooting.

The Irish Independent understands the cases involve claims for nervous shock and allegations of negligence and breach of statutory duty by gardaí.

Mr Nkencho (27), a young Dubliner of Nigerian background, was shot outside his family home in Clonee on December 30, 2020.

Gardaí had been called to an incident nearby involving Mr Nkencho, who had allegedly assaulted a shop assistant and was reported to be brandishing a knife.

However, the hearing was adjourned following an application from the Garda Síochána Ombudsman Commission, which is investigating the incident.

Members of Mr Nkencho’s family were in the house when the shooting occurred.

The Garda Commissioner, Minister for Justice and the Attorney General are named as defendants in the civil proceedings being taken by Mr Nkencho’s relatives.

(I am guessing now might file again)

Money money money

You mean after he was told to drop the knife multiple times, right? After he attacked someone with that knife and was trying to get into the house full of people.

Don't start this crap.

Selective as ever.

I was just pointing out what you said was incorrect. Shoot someone six times and you mean to kill them. It's not rocket science.

Personally, I wouldn't get close enough to someone with a knife that they could lunge at me with it.

How am I incorrect? The Garda was not prosecuted, if there was intent to kill, they would have been.

Personally, I wouldn't lunge at someone with a knife if they had a gun to shoot me with.

No, they meant to stop him from killing the Guard he attacked and from also going to kill his family.

They didn't want to kill him, they had no choice.

Three years of this hanging over the Guard's head. btw if anyone's curious about the mentality of the people calling for the Guard to be arrested or worse, here's some speeches from the protests: https://mega.nz/file/CJphTYSD#i8av4PEVeuewvfLE_paoqPendd50aMqfXFXXtlP7Ee8

Apparently Ireland was involved in the slave trade so we owe reparations…

Ruth Coppinger associating herself with the family.

She really doesn't want to get elected again I presume.
