They scam the taxpayers out of hundreds of euro every week because they think they have a right not to seek gainful employment or contribute to society. As they believe they are a law upon themselves, they think nothing of harassing anyone that does not agree with their effed up thinking and would have no issue in putting images and personal details online of anyone getting in their way. Hence it is quite correct for those imposing high court ruling to prevent these scum from making personal attacks on these people. Personally I think the Gardai should have gone in with full riot gear and beaten the sh1t out of these Unemployable scum. Thats how it would be done in other countries

I know it makes them look evil and all, but would you do that job and show your face, so that the social media mob could find out who you are, post your name and your address for the world to see, identifying your house for possible attack by halfwits? They have form, they did it to members of the Gardai before, public servants who were simply following the orders of their bosses and doing their job.

I wonder if the British public would react badly to the London metropolitan police being deployed to assist a group of masked men who were anonymously employed to take part in an operation that involved a few masked lads who emerged from a clapped out van with a van with an Irish reg? Serious answers on the back of a postcard please.

hatrickpatrick wrote: » so in the Land League era, you'd only have sympathy with the actual tenants who were evicted, and not those from other walks of Irish society who chose to show solidarity with them and help them in their fight for justice because they believed that it was the right thing to do? I put it to you that if participation in every single social issue fight in history was restricted only to those who were the direct victims of it, and not those who merely sympathised with them ideologically, a great multitude of successful fights for justice and human rights would at best have taken far longer to win, and at worst would have been lost altogether. That sucks, but it's a fact. The fight for civil rights in Northern Ireland couldn't have been won without the help and support of people from outside that jurisdiction. The civil rights movement in the United States could not have been successful without the help of sympathetic white legislators already in power. The fight against apartheid couldn't have been successful without international pressure as well as pressure from the actual downtrodden. Your position is quite odd, to be honest. I genuinely don't think I can get my head around it.

It seems posters here can't seem to make the jump in logic, that it is possible to not necessarily condone the behaviour of the protesters while raising concern why an anonymous hooded group of men were assisted by a state police force.
