    He was arrested as he was in breach of a court order issued in August.

    Sounds like he had plenty of warnings.

    No he wasn’t.
    Mr Tallon had in August been made subject of a District Court order prohibiting him from “engaging in public speaking and recording” anywhere within the environs of Wexford town including the Bull Ring area.

    This was made under section 115 of the Criminal Justice Act 2006 dealing with civil anti-social behaviour orders.

    Alot more to the story. He has on many occasions been very abusive to people walking past especially young women and teenage girls. He deserves whatever he gets and much more.

    if hes anything like the guys on henry st then this is great

    they are a public nuisance.

    put away that loudspeaker, and talk away without that level of aggressive volume.

    otherwise its the equivalent of real-life trolling imo

    Freedom of speach should be defended at all costs.....this is wrong.


    He was barred from mentioning the Name Jesus.


    Were the apostles wrong to go out into the world preeching the Gospel?


    They were arrested in their times for doing so....are we going back to these times...when it's offensive to people to hear the Gospel.


    Now I haven't heard this man preech so I don't know if he was actually abusive or just quoting from scriptures.


    However Preeching the Gospel on the streets should not be a crime.

    He sounds manic.

    How so, have you heard him preech...is there any videos of it?

    No, it was a reference to the welsh band ‘Manic Street Preachers’.

    But I guess the obvious question is whether someone street preaching about Islam would have been arrested in the same circumstances. I suspect not.

    lol sorry I didn't get that one.

    It's not a crime. Shouting his message through a loudspeaker is...and rightly so.

    He was under a court order, which he breached on numerous occasions. Don't be dishonest.

    On the one hand, I've no problem with preachers, or Hare Krishnas or whoever having their say on the street. But if they start invading people's personal space, or being abusive, or shouting their message loudly at people, they need reigning in.

    nah its clearly not at all what was either sanctioned or what i pointed out as problematic so the remainder of your own response is just irrelevant

    if you have no good faith engagement to make i dont know what you expect from the thread tbh

    He was a horrible pest, often abusing passers by and drinkers in the pub across the road. He also preached some fairly graphic anti abortion and anti mask views there at times. Think they shops and businesses there got sick of him, he also got in trouble in Waterford aswell I think.

    Yeah but he’s preaching about Jesus so none of that matters

    He should have become a priest then. He could rant away to his heart’s content then

    Guy is obviously a nuisance and shouting abuse at people is not acceptable. It’s not very Christian either.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 28,206 ✭✭✭✭breezy1985


    Ide like to be able to go about my business without anyone screaming into a loudspeaker regardless of what they are saying.

    If this fella wants to preach he can become a priest or found his own church and do it on a place where people want to hear him

    Sounds like a prize wanker. Religion should be exercised privately and flutes like this should be arrested immediatly and locked up for 24 hours.

    free speech? is that in the Irish constitution?

    or should the OP move to the US?

    As to being free to have amplified hate speech? after being told on several previous occasions to stop.....

    no.

    sorry mate as others have suggested, go start your own church indoors where people in the high street can get on with their lives without your ranting.

    Theres always more to these stories. The gardai are rarely bothered with preachers or buskers unless there is hassle

    The name Jesus is very offensive to many in today's society. Satan's grip over the world continues to tighten. Jesus came to the world for the sinners so that we wouldn't end up in hell. But many people are so deep in the world that the mere thought that God is real is a scary thought that they would rather other people end up in hell than be saved through what Jesus did on the cross for mankind.

    Nah, people just don’t like being verbally abused while they go about their business.

    It's not really though. Non believers and believers use the name all the time, every day when they hurt themselves, when they see something amazing etc...

    How can christians excercise there beliefs privately when they have been asked by Christ to go out and preech the Gospel?


    It's not suppose to be private.


    If the man was legit abusive then that's different...but no one should be arreset for preeching the gospel on the streets.


    Is there any legit christians on this forum?

    Did Christ tell people to be racist and homophobic? Seious question, wasnt he all about the good samaratan parable about not juding strangers? And the only thing about gay people that Jesus ever said was the general love thy neighbour. He never said love thy neighbour, unless hes black or gay etc.

    As regards having to go out and preach, Im not sure this was the way that was meant to be done

    The bible specifically says homosexuality is a sin. I don't think anyone can honestly argue otherwise.

    Where did Jesus say it though? Chapter and verse would be great

    What about the racism cause he was doing that too.


    The thread title is wrong because he wasn't arrested for singing and preeching or preaching of Jesus but spreading hate speech

    As the bible was given to us by God through the holy spirit working within people and both the old and new testament referred to it as sin, then homosexual behaviour is not what God wants in his creation. It is a sin and those engaging in it must turn to God to break them free from that spirit working in them.

    Is the gospel hate speech now in this upside down world?

    I heard the homophobic speak he was accused of was him qouting from the book of corinthians.

    So.....Jesus never actually said anything about homosexuality, no? As in there are four books of the new testament called the gospels that deal directly with Jesus' life and times, and he gets more coversge in the New Testament than anyone else.

    Youd think then that if he had any views on homosexuality at all he wouldve aired them, no?

    Again, re racism, Ive cited the parable of the good Samaritan (Luke 10:25, by the way) as evidence that Jesus was against racism.

    So I dont see how what this guy was saying is in any way due to Christ's direction

    The Bible was not given to us by God. There were five or six versions of Genesis floating about at one time or other, different political powers decided what went to print. Why is our version called the King James Bible? Do you think there was no influence to suit the narrative of the day? And how many influences did the previous renditions go through?

    First they came for the socialists...

    If its his right for him to preach homophobia through a megaphone is it then also ok for a lad to stand in front of his face reading out the script to a gay porn with a megaphone ?

    then homosexual behaviour is not what God wants in his creation.

    Someone should probably tell that to the penguins, giraffes and many other creatures in 'creation' who exhibit such behaviour.

    A street preecher would not be phased by that. The person shouting gay porn into his face definetly needs to hear the gospel

    But he wouldn’t be reading the gay porn were it not for the preacher.

    The preacher’s actions, in this example, have actually turned people away from the word of god. Seems counterproductive.

    It's a persons own heart that turns them away not the preacher.

    Ide say its the other way round. A good dose of porn for the preacher lad taken with a bit of quality alone time might calm his need to scream angrily from street corners

    You're also not supposed to endanger the lives of others and encourage others to do so.
    You're also not supposed to lie.
    You're also not supposed to support people who do so and break other commandments such as committing adultery.
    But somehow its O.K. to do all of the above and more going by your posts.

    The book of corinthians, the Sun, Mein Kampf, doesn't matter what rag he was quoting, it's hateful and unpleasant. Glad he got put back in his box.
