I'm so bored and depressed. I have no girlfriend/boyfriend and I hate my life. I just wish someone would notice me...……..

Oh! Look! A Bandwagon!

What is the real agenda behind these protests. They must know that the majority of the people in this country are horrified looking at them. They are not going to get widespread support for their cause. Are they trying to create friction between their target group and the majority of the Irish people in order to build up their membership or something. Or to justify the existence of these groups.

You underestimate the bubble the organisers live in.
This is what happens when the state spends decades nurturing a quango sector with taxpayers money. You get a caste of professional activists and "social entrepreneurs" smelling each other's farts and utterly detached from basic common sense.

I don’t see much wrong with the thread unless you support illegal mass gatherings?

Yes because that's the only reason for thinking this thread is as described.

What happened to George Floyd was unfortunate but it had nothing to do with the colour of his skin.

I don't for one minute support any march at this time.

But saying that race had nothing to do with George Floyd's deaths is naive, at best.

I'm fully expecting that low life to use this as a platform to rehabilitate himself in the eyes of the public.

Ask the organisers and those attending.

Why would anyone with a quarter of brain approach the potentially virus ridden eejits.

It will be a complete mess just like the one in Dublin yesterday.

Social distancing how are you, so middle class can get their jollies.

Again I'd direct you to those organising and attending. I believe someone linked a FB page you could ask on.

If Mickey Dee was still a Galway resident, then he - accompanied by the always simpering Sabina - would be leading the march.

What is the point of protesting here about the actions of a foreign police force? It’s really stupid... unless the Gardaí have been killing people. Don’t the Indian police hit people with large sticks? Why not march against the caste system? (Or concentrate on injustices in your own country)

Since ye are protesting, why don’t ye protest for

Rohingya Muslims in Burma
Russian occupancy of Ukraine region
Hong Kong people being suppressed by China
catholic’s in Northern Ireland occupied by England

Christ, there’s a long list, #alllivesmatter

Virtue signaling morons

The only outcome will be potentially increasing covid and wasting garda time.

If black lives matter than much to people maybe they could financially support groups in the US that work with disadvantaged people.

See them all now on Instagram then taking selfies and pics in Bikinis saying "black lives matter"

Bunch of knob heads all they want is to bring American culture and politics to Ireland

Their handbags are bigger than what they are wearing. I wear more going to bed.

Doubt any of the muppets who will be at it if it goes ahead are posting on this thread.

Another embarrassing wankfest of virtue signalling dimwits, American black lives matter more than old Irish white ones, absolute joke of a country

People before Profit looking to organize a bunch of protests next Saturday:

More like Politics before People.

Drew Harris might take a leaf from his RUC days and borrow some water cannons.

Granadino

I suppose if you don't get in quick enough, it'll no longer be trending on social media. But wankery of the highest order. Just saw the clip on the 9 o clock news.

Milly33

thank god!! I thought people were just going mad, listening to the radio about all these protest like im sorry but it is lock down, take a moment or however long to think and realize that this is just a stupid idea.. Plus I am really sorry but what good will a protest do for anything...

Whereisgalway

Make sure to self isolate for 14 days if you attend the “gathering”

Bobeagleburger

A march during a pandemic? I know it happened in Dublin but it'll hardly be allowed?

Populist party. Maybe they should sort their own party first.

Disgraceful and disrespectful to all those who have made unemployed, business closed , families who couldn’t attend funerals, people who haven’t hugged family members

The demonstrators will actually alienate people and may actually encourage racism and it’s seen as giving us all the fingers

most "anti-racism" activism in Ireland is the same. In part because they appropriate their ideas from america, but black people in America have been there for centuries, and were brought there forcefully and terribly mistreated all that time. Not exactly the same as a population that chose to come here in the last 25 years and have generally been net recipients of Ireland's resources

Videos emerging from America of rioters and scenes of mayhem. Looting in shops and stealing cars.

And this, is what the Irish protesters want to stand in solidarity with. Good god, give over and light a candle instead.

Organisers of the Dublin parade may be prosecuted. Throw the book at them.

That’s all trumps fault. Or right wing ‘bad actors’ who have infiltrated the protests to discredit antifa and blm. If you are willing to suspend disbelief of course.
