    On the 22 May this year , 23 people were blown to bits in Manchester at Ariana Grande concert.

    Including an 8 year old girl.

    What has happened since that to stop this nonsense?

    Absolutely nothing. Nothing .

    Anyone who carries out ones of these attacks, ALL their family, brother sisters mother father sons daughters wife husband deported to wherever they like. Just a one way ticket to anywhere outside of Europe. Anywhere .

    I know the attackers won't give a **** about their families but the the families will not want to be deported so will report anyone they suspect of being radicalised.

    Have to root this out of Europe
    Something has to be done. Can't just sit and do nothing.

    Lmao.

    You do know that AnthonyCny doesn't really have a solution either. What he suggests doing is pie in the sky as there isn't anybody suggesting that in a position to change the requisite laws.

    You do realise these murderers don't really care if they die if you saw the dickhead in Cambrils egging on the cops to shoot him dead you know that you won't be able to reason with them so you need to go down to their level to wipe them out.

    I am fascinated by the complete overreaction and obviously false accusations when someone doesn't agree with a ludicrous "solution". Is this a snowflake thing?

    Says one of the main lefty snowflakes on boards! The post references an 8 year old dying! That's what I was referencing!

    I am much too old for a snowflake and I vote FG :D

    We both know which part of the rambling post was funny. Cheap shot.

    Actually, as others have alluded to, I was laughing at the nonsensical nature of his post. But by all means continue feigning offence :pac:

    I know it's extreme but something extreme has to be done to sort this out. Any family member of a participant in any terrorist attack put on a plane out of Europe, wherever they want.

    Families wouldn't be long daubing in suspect individuals

    What actual solutions are there to this problem of radicalisation? Actual solutions,not just waiting for the next attack

    Indeed,and all well & good,however in the Irish context,sterling work by the Gardai and Military Intelligence is rewarded by downright incompetence verging n treachery by elements of the Supreme Court.

    Just look at the disregard shown for IRISH Public Safety in this particular case,where overwhelmning evidence was repeatedly ignored in order to big-up he "rights" of one decidely threatening Individual...

    https://www.irishtimes.com/news/crime-and-law/courts/supreme-court/deportation-of-man-allegedly-linked-to-islamic-terror-halted-1.3031212
    Sinead McGrath BL, for the Minister, citing national security concerns, had opposed any stay, but Mr Lynn argued the man’s rights under Article 3 of the ECHR, prohibiting torture, trumped any national security concerns the Minister may have.

    The pinhead dancers had an absolute field day here...one could speculate as to whether this individual used his remaining freetime in Ireland to full extent ??

    I don't either because he never said that…

    This is the article everyone keeps quoting out of context.

    http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/sadiq-khan-london-mayor-terrorism-attacks-part-and-parcel-major-cities-new-york-bombing-a7322846.html



    Hardly the 'meh, shít happens sometimes in big cities' attitude that people portray him as having.

    Sadiq Khan has said he believes the threat of terror attacks are “part and parcel of living in a big city” and encouraged Londoners to be vigilant to combat dangers.

    From the second paragraph of your post. Strangely you didn't bold this part.

    The poster I quoted talked about Khan's 'we need to accept this in a big city' attitude and that quote about 'part and parcel of living in a big city' is misrepresented to espouse that notion. The article goes on to state how one of the first things he did when elected as mayor was to appoint former Met Police Authority chair Lord Harris to review London’s terrorist attack response and how London would be able to deal with multiple attacks to ensure that all agencies were properly resourced to deal with these. The 'part and parcel' quote when put in context shows that he's not just saying we have to accept these things as the other poster was making out.

    Landed back in Barna last night. Metro very, very quiet this morning on the way to work, even for an August when half the city is on holiday.

    Since when did Barna get a subway? Bit over the top that no?

    Very funny, well done.

    Edit: just in case you don't get it, "Barna" is shorthand for the city. "Barca" refers exclusively to the football team.

    :pac: Lighten up


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,568 ✭✭✭BillyBobBS


    It now seems the car actually rammed into two bus stops this morning in Marsellie. I wonder if it's possible this could be linked to the Barcelona attack, could it be the same guy?

    Ha, I wasn't being sarky! The Galway one didn't even cross my mind so genuinely thought it was a decent joke.

    I'm actually using two parallel threads of thought,not comparing one against the other.

    Im not sure that you are suggesting that people are travelling to Las Ramblas simply to have it said they "partied" at the murder site (Which is actually over 500 Mtrs in length).

    Well if you read what was said rather than trying to read invisible between-the-lines messages, I clearly didn't say that.
    The holiday was booked beforehand, but personally I'd have chosen another place to socialise under the circumstances. You can hardly compare it to a group of people known to the deceased at the Italian funeral. The deceased's death was probably anticipated for some time, perhaps they had a long, full life and died peacefully. Not the same as partying on or near where people of all ages were strewn dead on the ground a day before (be it there or 500 mt). Nor is it the same as life ''going on'' at historical sites. Those people weren't dead two days. It's not carrying on life, it's actually acting as if nothing at all happened and therefore its normalising mass slaughter and terror attacks. That's the effect of the ''don't get angry, it's part and parcel of life in a city'' message that's so prevalent now.

    Notably, it was a very different message after the Nazi rally. Those on the ''Left'' are capable of talking about how such things could be prevented in future, but not when it involves Islamism.

    This goes for all cities that suffer an attack, I wonder about this virtue signaling, it seems a little sick to me like people are using this tragedy to up their social media status, smiling away there as she takes a selfie ... wtf !!

    Pity they could not catch him alive if this report is true, but it must be a mental drain for Security and Police and of course while they have to have 100% for security of the people they serve, they also have familes themselves to go home to so whoever shot him, well done good days work. One less gone

    Whatever.

    it still appears to me,that you are seeking to broaden the blame profile,and distribute some of it onto ordinary folk,whose frame of mind during their "partying",you may or may-not be intimate with.

    Do you suggest that these "Partygoers" don't care about what happened?

    If so,how do you know their depth of feeling?

    Did any of these people unburden these feelings directly to you ?

    Given that Cities are places in which life moves at a faster pace,are you angry with Barcelona's authorities for not sealing off the entire ramblas to everybody for a day...week...month,or whatever period of time You deem necessary to underline how bad an attack this was ?

    What would be the result of such a closure,as in what would it achieve in real terms ?

    The Spanish will decide their own level of mourning,which may include shutting their Cities down after atrocities,but our angry young Extremist Muslims will just have to accept that Western Decadence,loose morals and deeply held scepticism about rigid adherence to religious Doctrine from the middle ages,will continue in spite of their best efforts.

    As for "The Left",Nazisim and Islamism....well,it's a hard road that does'nt have a few turns along the way......

    Both Hitler and Himmler had a soft spot for Islam. Hitler several times fantasized that, if the Saracens had not been stopped at the Battle of Tours, Islam would have spread through the European continent—and that would have been a good thing, since “Jewish Christianity” wouldn’t have gone on to poison Europe. Christianity doted on weakness and suffering, while Islam extolled strength, Hitler believed. Himmler in a January 1944 speech called Islam “a practical and attractive religion for soldiers,” with its promise of paradise and beautiful women for brave martyrs after their death. “This is the kind of language a soldier understands,” Himmler gushed.
