Is Mob Law taking over?

dubdaymo

In London the climate lunatics are causing chaos in the streets again (and at London City Airport this morning) and the vegan lunatics are not only bursting into restaurants but now occupying and disrupting the main meat market and forcing the traders to move out to other locations if they want to do their day's work.

The secondary effect of this is the removal of police from their prime job of tackling the ever-increasing major crime problem.

We have our own climate lunatics trying something similar here and, sadly, the likes of Morning Ireland and The Pat Kenny Debate have given them airtime.

This is very worrying. I think it's time for the pussyfooting around by Police to stop. These lunatics need to be taught a lesson, a harsh lesson, that legitimate protest does not include daily disruption of citizens lives. If not nipped in the bud this trend could develop into something very unpleasant.

The interesting thing is that a lot of these movements are based on the precepts of anarchy.

Roger Hallam the co founder of Extinction Rebellion is a dyed in the wool anarchist - with his latest anarchist type project being the co-creation of the Extinction Rebellion group. His various youtube videos and speeches leave little doubt his primary motivation is to forment civil unrest in order to overthrow the existing system of government in the UK and elsewhere

Here Roger Hallam describes on a lecture video what he did after failing as an organic farmer:
"I decided to come down to London to take out the system because I didn’t like it very much. That’s my plan. And I obviously wanted to study how to do it effectively so that’s why got myself into King’s College."

https://youtu.be/aRLsRqKguW0

The other cofounder of extinction rebellion is
Gail Bradbrook who identifies as a neo-pagan, and who found her purpose in a trip to Costa Rica to help come up with a solution to societal ills. The trip included the use of various psychedelics drugs.

A recent report detailed in the article below highlights some of the background of this group...

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/politics/2019/07/16/treat-extinction-rebellion-extremist-anarchist-group-former/[/quote]

From the coverage so far most of these protests appear to be made up largely of the usual groups - disaffected youths and older crusties.

That they are being used by the likes of the chief anarchist - Roger Hallam is perhaps not surprising.

They haven't said what's planned for Dublin but they do intend to do something to cause major disruption before heading back to foxrock in Mammy's diesel q7.
Glad the media aren't giving the Irish loons much air time. Maybe one of them will eat a baby or something. They'd probably get 3 cheers from the left though.

Our whole system is basically mob law/rule; squeaky wheel etc etc.

For their next protest they should block the roundabout outside the 3 arena. That will back up the Port Tunnel, the East Link and maybe the Port. That should cause traffic chaos just about everywhere within the M50. It might be more effective than their current protests which just makes for a more pleasant walk to the train station with less traffic.

Don't worry it'll be as dead as Occupy Movement when the next fad comes along.

It's certainly true that the mob should not be extorting money from Dublin's property developments.

The parallels of exaggerated doom and gloom you have in common with the climate lunatics is kinda funny

A couple of idiots making an inconvenience of themselves is no reason the rest of us need to fear for the breakdown of our judicial system.

Conservative middle aged men as a demographic are contributing significant amounts of the income tax take.

Those unwashed unemployed hippies climate activists aren't going to be contributing anywhere near an equal share of the cost to the measures they want.

Of course they aren't because it's easy to pontificate to others when you are cocooned in a college safe space away from reality, or sitting on your hole all day waiting for your social to roll in. Impossible to take any of them seriously.

Do not personalise it like this. Challenge the post, yes, but leave the poster alone

What we saw in Oughterard, Rooskey and Courtown was mob rule.

Climate activist are by and large not, except for the usual rent a mob hanger on'ers.

The problem there though is that the rent a mob crowd tend to be the ones that end up taking over the protests, and then turn them into a show of hypocrisy and total inconvenience to almost everyone else they're trying to ram their message at.

Lads protesting orderly outside a local council office asking to change some policies to help the environment? Fair play to them, and I hope they get as much as they can for the good they're trying to do. Good people.

Lads screaming save the planet in the middle of the street wanting me to get rid of my car (which my family needs), not eat meat and reduce my plastic wastage while they arrived in cars, eat a convenient sausage roll/lunch wrap and wear plastics masks that they'll throw away when they're done? They can fu*k right off, hypocritical twats.

While the genuine activists, who know how to protest and would have things well organised generally, are trying to get their message out, unfortunately its the rent a mob crowd that will be seen. And them that will turn ordinary people off these protests, or what they're meant to be about.

Never bring an orts degree to a baton fight!

Reclaim the streets.
Occupy.
Extinction Rebellion.

There'll be some other nonsense concocted when they get a hold of this one.

Macron spoke of the islamist hydra in France this week. The crusty hydra will have to be finally faced down at some point too.

I wouldn't call it a hydra, that would assume it's got a head to cut off.
Amorphous, leaderless mess that will fizzle out eventually, to reform into some other equally ill defined fruitless movement down the road. Best used as source material for ridicule or ignored.

Actual mob law involving Leo, Murphy, Harris etc stripped naked and marched through the streets would be incredibly satisfying.

Peaceful protests and obstruction is a glorious way to make the knuckle draggers uncomfortable as they fail to understand how force is not being used to get a message across. The OP is phrased in a way which indicates severe ignorance on the part of the poster

By definition, these people are terrorists.

Mob law, ha. I live around the corner from the protest “hub” on Merrion Square. They’re grand and harmless, they’ve taken over the south side of the square, no big deal. If actual “mob law” ever happened you’d know all about it!!

You watched them all arrive? Every single one of them? That's dedication - I'll give you that!

it is the police themselves choosing how much resources they wish to dedicate to this, i suspect mainly on the basis of the political criticism they got from their handling of things last time, which was swift and effective dispite the criticism.
protest is disruptive, that's just a fact of life. people got enough notice and it's on them to plan on how they intend to get around it.
there is no pussyfooting around by Police and nothing to nip in the bud. protest isn't going anywhere and the days of the police beating up all and sundry are no more and not coming back.

the non-parasites have jobs, or at least plenty of them do, given the protesters come from all walks of life, which is the beauty of protest.

You do realise what a terrorist is, right?

They have to be the ones who are in control of whether or not the act is carried out in order in order for there threat to be of any value, so essentially you're telling us these guys can control the ****ing weather!!

Putin is the man for the job, we should make him an honorary president of our country, shut down all the other political departments, particularly the Dail, giving him full power, because, well, hard men rock....

Uncritical supporter of unelected mob expresses contempt for democratically elected fellow citizens.

If the mouth breathers had the guts, the brains or the integrity then they would run for election themselves to see what the public thinks of them and their cause. Of course they won't because that would take quite a bit of hard work plus the need to draw up a coherent manifesto of what they stand for - rather than what they're against.

Not much into all these climate change protests but why do so many people in Dublin drive big guzzlers of jeeps ? Only farmers or construction outfits should have jeeps . Particularly in an already traffic clogged city , smaller vehicles or dart-luas for these unnecessary jeep drivers .

Thats the definition. One who threatens to use fear and terror as a threat. The activists have not made any threat of use of an act of terror that they have the ability to carry out, as the poster implied.

IF and when they do take down a plane I'll agree with you - but only the specific in ones that carry out the act.

I was working close by that day. I don’t know exactly what triggered the cops to react that day. Maybe they just had a pain in their hole with bad scruffs giving them lip and being a general nuisance. I haven’t seen a repeat since but would dearly love to see the current rabble get a boot in the bollocks.
