Jayz, look at them knives. No need for shots fired with an arsenal like that.

Perhaps they were on route to a gardening festival afterwards.

I don't think that Jay-z checks his boards accounts too often. Too busy banging Beyonce.

Sure they're just tools of the roofing, carpet and tarmac trades.

Most of the mourners have denim shirts with a pic of the deceased on the back.

Classy.

Black and orange hatchets are the most popular, are they a decent brand? The Nike Air Max of the fight game?

AllForIt

Let them have at it. Convenient spot for a few deaths.



Oh wait. It's all settled ppl's fault. My bad.

A ludicrous display.

As usual, RTE do as you'd expect them to do...

Are those bottles of acid at the back of the pic?

Seth Brundle

Wow - mass has changed a lot since I was last there.

Machete attacks at funerals are the fault of the settled community. Travellers need more money so this discrimination led violence goes away.

nthclare

Just some kid with a hammer and a roll of caps down the back.

Although the wattsapp video doing the rounds at the moment makes it sound like gunshots

Just some plant food for the gardening festival.
Seaweed extract in a bottle.

Where's the usual suspects now to defend them?

No. They were just for defence against a possible zombie apocalypse at the graveyard.

Must be some serious gardening, as for the containers of acid, that is something they have picked up from the London crowd

Ammonia according to today's Irish News.

freshpopcorn

I wonder will Margaret Cash blame the robbing Government?

Ferm001

Why does everyone jump to the conclusion that these tools were for anything other than what they were designed for.
With storm Jorge coming in, perhaps these gentlemen were just thinking ahead, what with the potential for downed trees etc.

No shots?
Ah it's alright so.

Probably just for cleaning the altar so.

I was at a funeral last weekend and everyone had at least one hatchet tucked into the belt. To say this is an ethnic minority thing is blatant racism or some ism. Lot of hammers too. Probably doing some guttering for that 90 year old up the road. They'll even drive her to the ATM for the 4k. Sound lads.

Wasn't being used for washing, that's for sure.

Mixing ammonia with water can make a good plant food for plants that prefer alkaline environment. Despite the hate our cultural friends are big fans of Gerry Daly.

They're interested in exploring the potential of ericaceous planting schemes and enhancement of the acidity of soils.

The tools were used for laying hedges and cutting back bamboos etc

Definitely landscape contractors on their way to or from a trade show.

Notice how many of the items are in the owners' county colours - Cork, Kerry, Down, Dublin?
Maybe they were going to a match afterwards, boss?

When I was at college about 20 years ago I had an idea for a "Combat Channel" similar in content to Forces TV. Do you think I could get one on Traveller "Kultur" Channel. I bet you would pay to see warm up and pre fight interviews and the "after party" in the A&E.

Respect Boss. Do you want tickets to the live show? Bring your own stab vest

"No shots were fired at funeral, say police"

The bar for 'nothing to see here' is set pretty low these days and people seem willing to accept that.
I was on the Luas last week when a brawl broke out. There were broken noses, bloody fists and and knife was produced (but not employed as anything more then an implicit threat after the sides had seperated)

Was there panic or intervention?
Naw, most people around them just calmly got up and walked away down the carriage, as if someone had dropped an unplesant fart and they were moving out of it's invisible gaseous sphere of influence.
People have become very accepting of the ever deteriorating social frabic of this country to the point that they just treat stuff like that as 'business as usual'.

With added bonus of voting in our most leftie government ever. Things will change alright, for worse.
