    Is this to remember all the black people brutally gunned down by the guards every year?

    They say one you protest for a black cause, protesting for another cause again just isn't as good.

    I'd have thought Irish people would sympathise with innocent civilians being shot dead by armed police but clearly some on here have short/selective memories...

    I think he's alluding to the Northern Ireland conflict and the treatment of Nationalists by the RUC and British Army (Bloody Sunday)

    Does anyone think they are idiots for picking the 12th which is the most anti-Irish day on the island? Or they just want to be ironic.

    Ireland, as in the ancient island now divided into 2 separate countries. Yes that's the one.

    As for the Blm march no doubt it will be the usual student grant types on it. The last time I was in Dublin there must have been an anti Israeli March on as a few student types got on the bus with Palestinian flags chanting plo...plo

    I could hardly stop laughing...

    It's not our fight so why are idiots marching? We have enough to be opposed to in Ireland without jumping on every bloody bandwagon. How many black people were gunned down by an garda siochana this year? None.. so go away with your March. Empty vessels and all that.

    In Ireland people have been shot by policy plenty of times. I never said recently.

    Good job trying to be pedantic though, bravo.
