Dangers of surfing the net…

    Imagine thinking that you could go to court to demand the exhumation of 100s of dead bodies, causing irreversible levels of grief to 1000s of bereaved family members.

    Then further imagine having the cheek to seek an assurance that you won’t face legal costs wether your legal challenge fails or not.

    These deranged individuals were radicalised into thinking this was proper and right by surfing the internet and reading all the nonsense and actually believing it.

    Plus “disability rights worker”. Please.

    Dangers of being idiots more appropriate thread title.

    The net was an innocent bystander.

    Before the internet these morons would never have been able to accumulate all the misinformation that led them to this. I’m mortified for their families.

    How did this stuff even get to the courts?

    As well as making claims about "mass killings" the judge said the three had made several other "breathtaking claims" in thousands of pages of documentation.

    These included the claim that the covid-19 vaccine inserts nanochips into recipients, and that the use of the bioweapon is part of a plan by US tech billionaire Bill Gates to "depopulate the world".

    Imagine the judge and other court officials on a long weekday afternoon listening to that absolute waffle. There must be an awful temptation to f**k them out of the building.

    Dangerous precedent because these people are so delusional that they won’t accept any findings that clash with their own.

    You’ll probably find that once they’ve been told that the taxpayer isn’t going to pay their legal fees for them that the whole circus will be quietly dropped.

    A friend of mine lost her 28 year old son to suicide during the pandemic. No warning signs. Out of a clear blue sky. Unfortunately she spotted this story today and it brought he crashing back down today. The very notion of his body being exhumed was enough to send her back to bed for the rest of the day. Unbelievable.

    I mean no disrespect but why would a suicide require an exhumation in this case?

    The legal profession gets paid either way, it's literally in the gift of how "ethical" solicitors, barristers and judges are.

    You know, that group that is famously unethical when chasing moolah.

    It is, however, a difficult one to solve.

    How old were the people taking the case ? Has the hallmarks of some young goons in their mid twenties to early thirties whom for it seems, ‘cop on’ has skipped a generation…

    Your teenage child can run up huge telephone bills connecting to the information superhighway.

    They want to exhume anyone under the age of 80 who had been vaccinated during the covid crisis.

    Something akin to religious fundamentalism.

    Absolutely no doubt I'm their minds that they may be wrong. Maybe it gives them a purpose or something.

    Whatever 0.001% chance this case had it went into minus territory when they drew Judge Twomey



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,232 ✭✭✭TooTired123


    Hes having none of it. I think they got on his very last nerve.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,924 ✭✭✭Large bottle small glass


    He's very mild mannered in my experience and very tolerant of waffle but dismisses more cases than most in the end.

    These three sound completely unhinged but not so unhinged as not to sort out the costs bit in advance.

    Older than you guessed as were their supporters removed from the court in December for roaring out the Lords prayer. 

    Most of the people who are constantly spouting guff like this such as Waters and O'Doherty are older. They attract idiots not only on this topic but also religion, Irexit etc from their own age range as well as above and below. 

    Not to say that some people in their 20s and 30s don't believe this guff, but the only person I know who believes it and other theroes is in his late 50s. The gobshite still hasn't got his sense of taste or smell back after catching covid in 2021.

    Before the Internet he and others like him got their theories from magazines and free news sheets. He believed the story and stickers going round in the 90s that condoms didn't prevent the spread of H.I.V and got barred from all the local pubs that had condom machines put in for harassing the owners and staff.
