You've been looking in the wrong direction, the dangers are coming from the right.

The patriots are hating this on social media and saying it's a cover up etc. The parents seemed to handle it all with a lot of dignity.

Extremist violence isn't expressing concern isnt centrist, isn't left wing. The fact you try to brush away extremist violence as "concern" is pathetic.

It's Irish people that are responsible for all the extremist far right violence in this country. Your whataboutery in attempts to deny that and deflect from it are absolutely pathetic.

This thread is about extremist far right violence.

But why are you so keen to deflect from the extremist violence and the arson attacks?

Annual reminder that right wingers are more often than not, full of sh*t and love scaremongering, because fear sells.

You can try to justify arson and violence but the scenarios you're citing are incredibly different to modern day Ireland. The kinds of people engaging in the violence are nothing more than racist and xenophobic thugs. These people can easily run for election but they won't win.

There's an election next year so yes, they absolutely have an opportunity to run candidates. If they don't get elected, that's not a right to engage in extreme violence. An arson attack also always has the risk of killing a person such as emergency service workers or squatters. You absolutely are pro thug violence, you're defending it. Do you also think it's acceptable for them to be harassing library staff? Where exactly do you draw the line?

It's the exact same far right individuals that are harassing library staff.. So just to clarifying, you're justifying arson?

the government is democratically elected,

Are you suggesting that every decision is put to a plebiscite?

Did the repeal campaigners start burning down buildings? It was a non violent protest movement, that's pretty different to what you're attempting to justify. You very much so deserve to be lumped in with them when you're trying to justify arson.
