Who are these people? Sending threats through the mail!

    So two stories are just out where people in public facing jobs have been sent threats. CEO of Rehab and the minister for justice. I just wonder who these people are. Are they lone gun men type people or normal appearing people who just lose the plot?

    I see them as bullies one way or the other as all they are doing is intimidating people for disagreeing with them or doing something they don't like. It isn't like these representatives are a threat to you and your family directly. I just don't get it

    More than likely some idiots venting. I doubt they could fight their way out of a paper bag, never mind kill someone.

    Idiots who're using the anonymity of the interwebs to talk shíte for some sense of achievement I'd be guessing.

    Sad bastards too lazy to get up off their arses and do something useful with their lives.

    it's not beyond corrupt governments to organise this kind of stunt themselves to distract and divide the people. for the price of some crayons, some flour, an envelope and a stamp the jobs is done for less than €5!! these days this is quite possible and look at how the country is reacting to the "news"

    I imagine they're the least likely people to ever do something.
    Someone who has it in them to actually carry out what these threats would claim are never the type to make the threat, they just do it.

    You really think that? While possible it seems so unlikely and unrealistic. I am pretty sure any such security concerns will be forensically tested. You think the minister of justice sent himself the white powder:eek:

    You should check out real proved conspiracies and see what they look like to identify what is more likely.

    Are you comfortable with the minister being sent a swastika?

    I'm sure he knows he's talking ****e. Just any excuse to harp on about corruption and the government

    :confused:

    Jewish Minister for Justice sent a swastika, and you think it's low for Enda Kenny to point out how scummy this kind of behavior is?

    EDIT: notice you thanked the posting claiming Shatter could have done this himself. Delusional isn't the word

    This is something different. People who send stuff in the post. Stuff being white powders which could be anything or stuff like dog sh** or human sh**.

    You can find out plenty about the interweb warriors. Some of these pathetic individuals have been outed and you can see how sad they are. Not so easy to track down the ones who post stuff in packages.

    certainly not

    I just question the timing


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 25,070 ✭✭✭✭My name is URL


    Probably the same sort of people that tie dead animals to the front doors of whistleblowers. Absolute scumbags.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 40,291 ✭✭✭✭Gatling


    Before the interweb we had pen trolls/ink well warriors ,

    Basically cowards who can't raise a genuine concern with an individual face to face pretty standard stuff for uneducated bully's

    No I do not think Shatter did this himself
