"the Guards in Ireland generally show restraint & respect on a level that is probably unique across the world" …..since when?? I have seen way too many guards in Ireland on power trips pushing people with extreme force to the ground, hitting them etc. I was arrested before for being drunk and disorderly (even tho I didn't do anything except answer back to a smart comment made by one of the guards who could not deal with being "spoken" to like that)and I can tell you they showed anything but "restraint & respect" towards me. Absolute scumbags some (not all) of them

What would have happened in those places?

Would she be roughed up any more than the guy who tried to assassinate Ronald Reagan, or the man who fired shots at the queen?

You're another one that imagines that they'd be shot dead in an instant for standing in front of a car I suppose :rolleyes:

I might be wrong in saying this, but I think the world has probably changed a bit since those clips from last century which you posted.

Well nobody has been shot or killed by the Secret Service or SO14 / Queen's Guard since, either. And there's been more than a few incidents of security breaches between then and now (far more serious than what happened outside of Mansion House too)

People seem convinced that what this woman did would have led to her been shot in the US or UK, which is just a bizarre belief to have. Maybe she would have been tackled in a similar way as she was by Gardai, but more likely she wouldn't have been able to get so close to the car in the first place.

People have flung sandals and gotten into elevators with US presidents while armed over the last few years and none of them were shot as a result!

Enda is a nobody. You can hardly compare him to Obama (who is actually targeted by dangerous people). We have a young woman who is attending a protest, and makes a dash for Enda's car. The gardai should expect that behaviour and be prepared to restrain and escort such protesters away from the action SAFELY. Flinging her around like a bean bag doesn't speak well of gardai training or attitude. This is ENDA KENNY we are talking about again. He is in no danger from anyone except himself.

Got what she deserved in my opinion. Don't throw yourself at a car and the Gardai won't have to throw you away from the car. Common sense, really.

Do you not sometimes pretend to be a photographer?

You should look more closely at what is happening



The Incredible Bulk's colleagues already had the situation under control before he launched himself in front of the car and almost got ran over

I like this notion of under control, if you play the video in slow motion you will see that the woman was still resisting and more importantly there was less than 0.5 seconds between the time guard 1 and 3 for a hold of her. If you watch closely and slowly you will see that when the first two get a hold of her she is facing away from the car and throws herself backwards towards the car, milliseconds later guard 3 pulls her in the opposite direction that she was throwing herself and she ends up going flying.

Yes it was a heavy throw but it was an effective response to somebody who has acted in a threatening and violent manner, who then repeatedly attempts to wriggle away from the guards and get closer to the car.

At the time of the throw the woman was still trying to get nearer to the car, you can come to your own conclusions but I think quickly getting her out of the situation was necessary as a result of her actions.

Even if you look at the video as it is on Facebook, you can clearly see that at 6.9 seconds she is first touched by a guard and by the start of the 8th second she is already thrown.

Your one had a really annoying voice though. They should have picked her up and thrown her down again. Oh my gawwwd.

Well done lads

Can you really blame him for thinking like that. I can only imagine the amount of horse**** the guards have to endure with these so alled peaceful protests. Add to that the possibility of having to knock on someone's door to tell them someone isn't coming home etc. last year my mother in law passed away suddenly and two guards had to come to the house and stay with her until she was brought to the morgue. That must of been absolutely terrible for them.

Wanna throw a bit of context with that snapshot?

Well done lads

I'm not a Garda,nor associated with the force in any way,but apart from the "Cancer of the Genitals" bit, I'd stick an oul "Thanks" there as well.

Watching how the various "Anti" groupings have attempted to manipulate their "Peaceful Protestery" into some form of National Mantra is all I need to thank this fellas post.

I'd hope that that poster would reconsider the "Cancer of the G's" bit,perhaps replacing it with offering these "Activists" a year's residence in whatever Nirvana they purport to believe in today.

While I understand your fundamental point about thanking the post, I still feel I need to ask: You think because a member of AGS is exposed to a certain level of 'abnormality' in their working life that it is okay for them to say something like that, in a fashion that could easily be described as "lashing out" on a public forum?

I can absolutely understand the levels of frustration that is experienced when the "peaceful protesters" exhibit behavior like the ones spoke about in this thread but I still don't think that's good enough and it certainly doesn't merit comments like that.

I never thanked any post so please be sure before making assumptions.

I hadn't assumed you had thanked it. I was referring to other posts but my reply had poor structure, my apologies.

Just to throw a bit of context to it, and i know people seeing that for the first time would be (rightly) annoyed, but hopefully this explains my actions.

Atleast you apologised. The context didn't help but the apology certainly goes a long way
