VERY EXCITING: Prisoners are on a roof & won't come down WHY ARE WE SHOUTING?

Around 60 prisoners who refused to leave an exercise yard at Cloverhill Prison have been returned to their cells.

Prison officers confronted the inmates and locked them back in their cells this afternoon.

Two other inmates remain on the roof after climbing up there earlier.

Prison authorities are working to bring them down.

What do we think will happen here, then?

Prisoners are like cattle. As soon as they realize they outnumber their jailers, we will all be fúcked.

Spiderman will be along to sort it all out.
Or Batman.

Menas

Bit of rain will sort that out.
And Cloverhill tea time is 6.

This used to happen quite a bit in the 80's.

They could have picked a nicer day to spend sunning themselves on the roof.

Who the feck wants to be on the roof. I saw hailstones yesterday......in July.

They'd have been shot before they were arrested.

One of them on the roof is actually a dwarf! He's coming down now though. It's a little con descending.

Lock anyone who was up on the roof in their cell for a minimum of 6 months. They won't do it again. If they were due to be released, tough ****.

I only learned the eru had bean bag rounds for shotguns from the story about the guy that nearly blinded the gard in Cork (iirc) I'm sure some practice wouldn't go astray ...........

So if they can get prisoners off the roof, can they get Tom Cruise out of the closest?

Unlikely, as we are outnumbered by the cows, who will undoubtedly rise up any day soon. Thus Tom will remain in his closet, for fear of the bovine apocalypse.

Throw them up a fiddle, unless one of them is the other kind of fiddler.

Oh, you can lock us up
And lose the key
But hearts in love are always free

Prisoners of Love,
Blue skies above,
Can't keep our hearts in jail

They do seem to have a love of climbing roofs.

This one was up on the roof of Mountjoy only a few weeks ago, eating a bag of drugs that had been thrown up there.

http://www.independent.ie/irish-news/prisoner-in-mountjoy-roof-standoff-as-he-climbs-to-retrieve-drugs-package-31291801.html

He was in a highly intoxicated state. The drugs were taken," a source said last night.

Is RTE or anyone doing a live video link from the prison?

Seems a bit lazy if they're not.

Anyway Corrie is at 7.30 so they'll be down by then.

No they wouldn't.

Thread should be merged with the weed in urine thread as both won't come down.
