Gemma not taking enforced retirement too well

[Deleted User]

She's permanently on twitter now tweeting links to wacky stories from a few years ago and every single conspiracy theory she can get her hands on

Why didn't she call the gardai, instead of taking a video? Would be interesting to see what happened in the lead up to it.

So you’re bitching out of both holes that she a) shouldn’t have videotaped it and called the police instead (except they’re aware and actively investigating) and b) she should have taken MORE video.

Ireland is fairly tolerant. You could look at the low level of anti immigrant political activities and organisation. Gemma is a tiny outlier amongst journalists and the national party could hold their party meetings in a shed. A small one.

Dundrum used to be a nice well to do area, then the social housing tenants were allowed in....
Anyways, someone was going to get egged that day by those little scumbags, but you can bet the house that the minute they saw the two muslim girls they went straight for them, which means they were targeted because of their religious/ethnic background.

Lackadaisical

I'd agree that Ireland is generally fairly progressive and inclusive and we very much like to be seen in that light. However, we all live in our own bubbles to some degree and it can be extremely dangerous to assume that just because you haven't personally experienced that level of bigotry and hatred that it doesn't exist.

Ireland's also not immune to social media and trends in other anglophone countries like the US and UK and further afield and it's very easy for the kind of toxic extremism that's bubbling up elsewhere to start bubbling up here too.

I would also caution that Ireland has a history of completely ignoring problems and pretending they aren't there if it doesn't suit our particular mental image of what Ireland should be. We did plenty of that in the past when we completely ignored all the various institutional abuses that were going on under our noses.

I can fully understand that people don't want to accept that there's a problem (minor and all as it may be) with racism or xenophobia, but it exists and if it's not recognised and challenged now, it has the potential to grow into something far more serious.

Trying to explain away that incident in Dundrum as anything other than racism or nonsense pretending that it didn't happen is simply does not fly at all. It's making excuses.

Turns out the vile attacked are members of the traveling community. Names and pictures appearing all over social media.

What now for the vocal left. Condemn travellers?
Unlikely

Condemn racists is likely however. Have you learned nothing from this thread re. Racists :pac:

You can do a bit better than that.

The point is the identity of the attackers is now known. Young members of the traveling community.

What will happen next?

If you're correct hopefully they are charged and prosecuted. Again what's your point?

No point. Just spreading the news. Without leaving anything out

I think they should be convicted for a hate crime. I couldn't care less if they're travelers. You really seem to think your points are hard-hitting but they're not...

Yes, sure you are. I dont condemn all settled people when one fo them acts as a criminal why would I condemn all travellers when one (or more) of them acts as a criminal? You're showing your true colours there.

El_Bee

DO you agree with this question; Travellers should have been forcefully settled and their "culture" thrown out decades ago when the government could still have gotten away with it.

You are raging. You had been hoping it was some o Doherty's minions.

Now you know that it was members of the traveling community you are still outraged but also disappointed.
Why else would you be on this particular thread.

Faux outrage is strong

Lock them up.

What outrage?

People asked you why you are fixated on the racist thugs happening to be travellers?

Why are you hallucinating again?

Why do you think travellers cant also be minions of O'Doherty anyway?

This idea may well blow your little mind, but maybe it's possible to condemn them without condemning all Travellers.

I'm certainly not hallucinating. Whoever is responsible should be locked up.
But it wasn't O'Doherty's band of merry eejits.

Hopefully pavee point call this out for the racist, disgusting attack that it is.

Any moron can subscribe to Gemma O'Doherty's bigotry, being a member of the travelling community doesn't suddenly change the possibility that they have been influenced by her. Eg John Connors loves Gemma O'Doherty and Croft... Tbh, I imagine most would prefer if she simply didn't espouse hate. Now are you capable of behaving like a grownup?

You dont know that. And you dont know if they heared about or were influenced by her comments. You really really dont know...

You were babbling about raging people here, you seem to have come back to reality.

Curious tho why do you think Travellers can't be one of GemGems merry band?

Neither do you. They are children so il hazard a guess that they are just dragged up little scrotes. Not people worried about mass immigration or any of the other rubbish she spouts.

I have absolutely no idea if they influenced them or not. Neither do you. I do think she has numerous tweets that are incitement to hatred and could encourage racist individuals to commit acts of violence. Now have you realised that your entire argument at the moment is moronic?

Well yes, that's my point. But I'm not acting like I know exactly what happened like you are so definitively.
