(great crowd there)


They are getting orgasmic over on Indymedia. They really like this sort of stuff. Kind of the Sky News for loopy anarchist type groups.

He said gardaí arrived "almost immediately" and that there was "no hassle" until about midday when gardaí emerged through the windows of the Anglo headquarters and "dragged" them away in "a forceful manner".

Another three people were arrested at the rear of the building where Mr MacCionnaith said a number of protesters were struck by gardaí.

now some people actually make an attempt to stand up for something, and we're dealt the above comments.

I agree with what you are saying but standing on a porch with a silly sign is hardly standing up for anything...it's making yourself look like a dIck regardless of whether you are right or not.

Now if they had worn some superhero suits, well they would have the ears & eyes of the nation on them

I forgot the not Biko! Better remove the thanks

I know, that's why I quoted the post.

Maybe you can elaborate on why they are stupid?

How exactly should the Gardaí remove someone who doesn't want to leave in a non-forceful manner?

This may shock you but the Internet isn't one single person with one single unified opinion.

There's a huge surplus in poor financial puns recently, I wish people would save them rather than depositing them all over forums. Maybe if you loaned them out and if they got a good response leave them, if they weren't welcomed just withdraw them. I'm starting to see Red because of them at this stage.



Cough..

Well, what is?

It's better than whinging on here. there must be a hundred thousand posts on here giving out about the banks, and as soon as someone does protest, however "silly" they look, it's not fcuking good enough.

It's pathetic.

I would ask how are they NOT stupid? A bunch of "political" protesters jump on an awning waving a banner and achieve exactly what? Conscious raising? or merely attempting to boost the profile of some organisation that would turn us into Republican Commies if they had the chance?

No one should fall for that.

indymedia are still removing comment they don't agree with I see.

How the fcuk should I know?
Don't get your knickers in a twist with me because you don't like to hear the truth. Honestly, they are not doing themselves or their opinions any good whatsoever.
They look crazy.
They may have a point but they look crazy pointing it out to the rest of us.

So instead of whinging about everyone else expressing an opinion on the topic why don't you have a little think about a more effective approach & join them the next day they have a protest.

It's pointless, what do they expect to achieve by telling people to 'Rise Up'? Lets all get out there on the ledge with them.. what could possibly go wrong

Are you against what the banks have done Mike?

And assuming so, why haven't you stood up to them?

See, I've no idea who these people are, so I'm not showing bias against them. All I'm thinking is "fair fcuks to them, compared to the thousands of whingers who complain and do nothing!"

They could hug them until they leave. Those lefties would probably think it was some scheme to infect them with super secret anthrax

Also what do they want us to rise up against? I presume they want us to rise up against bad drivers...

Davyjose I haven't firebombed any I admit, what should I do? Remove my savings? That'll show em.

It's not about firebombing, are you telling me that protesting is pointless? is any protest worthwhile?

Just because you don't like the people protesting, or because it's a paltry number of people, doesn't make it any less commendable than anyone else who's stood up for something.

fair enough. But generally, most people are against what the banks have done.

if they are pro how the banks have conducted their business the last few years, then i apologise.

Fair enough, just don't make the mistake of believing that they are going to change anything or that they have any interest in you and your situation.

Well you told me what wasn't standing up for anything, so I assumed if you know what isn't, then you would know what is. Simple really.

When I see the footage of the guards mercilesslyand needlessly battering them with batons I might have sympathy. If I see footage of the guards battering them with batons after a protestor whacked him on the head with a flag pole or try and push him off the ledge, well then my sympathy will be with the guards for having to deal with lefty loonies like them.

Statistically its the latter that more often than not seems to be the case.....in this country at any rate.

I always pity Robocop for losing his job, pictured dragging away a bloody protester or swinging the baton. What we didn't see was the same protester catch another guard with a brick on the head.

Its like the dail protest the other week. Apparently guards locking arms and shoving away protesters from the gate was police brutality and getting hit on the head by a fellow protestors flag pole or been caught by a fellow protestors knee in the head is......police brutality.

I love the way indymedia refer to special branch and secret police being after them. Like the undercover gardaí give a sh1t about hippies. I don't know what exactly people expected the response to be when they raided a bank.

My situation has nothing to do with Anglo-irish, or anyone elses cause. I'm fully employed, and any credit indescretions I have are my own fault (creditcarditis ).

I'm merely saying it's a bit rich to criticise someone else for doing what a lot of the population haven't the balls for.

that's funny. you directly quoted my post, tacked on a smartarse superhero quip at the end (for a few easy thanks?), got in a strop when I replied, and now you're telling me not to get smart -- I'd say the same to you, but I doubt there's much danger of it.

Now I'll wait while someone points out the difference between socialism and communism to me. See the great thing about the internet is if you want to know all about something you just have to insult it and someone will be along shortly to tell you all about it.

In a completely unbiased way

Cheap Thrills!

The Guards are the Governments b!tch.

Why do they come down like a tonne of bricks on protestors?

I don't get it. What harm are the protestors doing?

They're not breaking any laws, really. Maybe tresspass....so what

A few easy thanks? Where are they so?

My posts are hardly ridiculous. They are expressing my thoughts on the thread. Didn't think there was a law against that.
And I never said to stop responding to the posts.

But I've often found that a person of low intelligence has problems telling the difference between a discussion & basically trying to ram their opinions down everyone elses throat.
It's the inability to look at a topic objectively & maturely.

Anyway, I'll leave you to join who you please because I'm out to enjoy the sunshine
