I hate these people. As if they people they're protesting against get the number 11 bus home.

About a year ago there was a similar Eirigi protest and, even though I had ample cash to get a second bus after we had to abandon our first one, I spent 45 minutes getting my €2.35 back from one of the protesters.

God I despise the nutters within the far left.

I'm assuming you're referring to http://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=849691275082376 that's doing the rounds. If you'd care to point out exactly where the protestors were 'beaten up' I'd be much obliged...

Bollocks. Same old whingeing and baseless accusations along the lines of "AHEORE DAT CHOILDS SICK". Suppose the Gardai hadn't been there. Enda Kenny may be unpopular, but he doesn't deserve to be torn apart.

Just been to the shop and that tool was on FM104, the guy who always seems to be filming for these protests who got shown up.by the sergeant last week. They say there is still 2 to 300 (probably 20 or 30) outside the garda station.

Gardai showing incredible restraint there.

Duggy747

Incredible restraint considering the amount of poking, prodding and pushing those people were doing to the Gardaí as they surrounded the car, in any other country the police would be cracking skulls to get people away from a government official.

But when the Gardaí are forced to push them back, which is to be expected given the volatile nature of the crowd here, it's "brutality".

There's people aching and twitching for that one video that'll happen to catch a Garda acting inappropiately that will be blown up to be used as a stick to bash the entire force. Like the rape claim made against those Gardaí at Corrib and much of the public hopped on board demanding blood.

Plus, the comparisons to the Nazis / Gestapos is pathetic.

Gary Gallagher I really mean this.. It's time we start punching back and if the one that punches a garda ends up in court we the real irish people ( not the guards) need to kick in the door of the court and walk out with our fellow irish person... It has to be anarchy, politicians and those who stand with them need to be pulled off their high horses and shown their place..

Amazingly the last commentators FB profile says he works at Teagasc, another state body.

If any semi good can come from this is that people are catching on to that there is a rather insidious underbelly of militant activism growing in the country.

I've said it before, but Eirigi are a particular out there bunch.

An odd mix of communism & ultranationalism with a penchant for violence...... Kinda reminds me of Putin's Cossack mobs patrolling parts of Russia.

A lot of members bent on "taking back the country"...... Which can never be good.

Perhaps it's time ordinary Irish people became more vocal about standing behind the gardai against unelected anarchic gurriers roaming around Dublin assaulting workers and abusing the gards. As said incredible, and in my view unwarranted, restraint has been shown by the gardai in the face of real abuse from absolute scumbags who represent no one in this society, are not elected and whose only aim is to cause trouble.

I'd support the gardai being more forceful with some of these individuals.

Threats of petrol bombs etc. on that page.

Typical moronic ramblings of knuckle-dragging uneducated c*nts like Eirigí.

They have about as much political knowledge as that turd I left in the toilet bowl this afternoon.

I walked by that sit-down protest at O'Connell Bridge this evening after I with many other passengers were asked to get off the No.1 bus to Santry (from Dublin Bus) near the middle of the bridge while the protest was still going on as I saw it for only a few more minutes.

The other Dublin Bus routes that were blocked on the bridge at the time were the No 4, 14 and 123. This was around 4:40pm today.

As I walked past the protest; I saw a drunk guy arguing with one of the female protesters about the 'STATE OF TEH TRAFFIC'. The female protestor remarked back to him that they were 'protesting for the people of Ireland'. Yeah f**king right I'd say :rolleyes:.

You even blocked a lot of buses going from the direction of Parnell Square because of this little scene in town today. Well done you Anonymous nutters. :mad:

The northbound traffic was cleared when I walked near to Eason's Book shop afterwards.

Manhandling wasn't half rough enough.

Because I meant it. Reading the fb comments on some of these videos leads me to think a lot of those who made the comments, ie those protestalongs, would benefit from a good kicking.

The fact that you always want beligerent protesters beaten up or worse makes you as bad as the people you are complaining about . Can't you envision a day when you might care about something enough to protest. I can imagine you beating people about the head while screaming maintain the status quo you bastards.
