John Waters & Gemma O'Doherty to challenge lockdown in the high Court

Long_Wave

Now I know they are going to get a lot of ridicule for this but the lockdown is almost certainly unconstitutional so I wish them luck. https://mobile.twitter.com/gemmaod1/status/1250421661062459399

The men of 1916 would be absolutely disgusted at the mob of Gemma haters who have taken over this country, brainwashed fools sitting on their hole at home on €350 dole perweek.

I really wonder how people like this come to exist.

How do you know what the men and Women of 1916 think?

Shows you stupidity that you don’t even know women fought in 1916....

I'm still wondering whose work it was she took credit for all those years ago?

It’s only attention, nobody talk about her and she would be off at some other stupidity

They would have most likely taken a pot shot at her and that's coming from someone who actually had relatives take part in the uprising, the war of independence and the Spanish civil war against Franco.

She and Walters strike me as the types that would be outraged by the uprising if living at the time given the opposition from the church etc to it and the war of independence, informing on anyone taking part, given their (gems, Walters, Barrett etc) wish for a return to good old Catholic Ireland.

They wouldn't like the fact that some of the uprising leaders were foreigners and homosexuals either.

The views of men from a hundred years ago are utterly irrelevant tbh. Never got the fetish for bringing them up, nor the founding fathers of America.

Calling a woman a C*nt isn't misogynistic anymore?

Funny because the entire feminist/progressive axis were telling us it was for the past few decades.

Isn't it hilarious how easily the mask of progressivness slips off and reveals the foaming at the mouth, unstable, highly aggressive character underneath.

For this alone I commend Gemma.

She is a c**t. And it has nothing to do with gender. John Waters is a c**t too.

F**king Gardai trying to do their jobs and having to put up with that pair of clowns on a crusade that 99.99% of the country don't want them on. Yet they claim it's for the people of Ireland. And even if it was, there's no need to be so horrible and disgusting to two people trying to do a job where they are risking their own well being to protect ours.

There's no misogyny in the post you quoted. Just an opinion the vast majority of people agree with.

Those guards should have arrested them for not cooperating with the law. Poor guard was far too nice to them.

Arghus

Personally, I thought the Guard was too meek. Gemma was allowed to say whatever she liked to her and then film her. Pretty sure I wouldn't have got away with it.

Her attitude is appalling in that video. She's so hateful.

Pathetic attempt at a dig. Exactly the kind of thing you regularly see O'Doherty's disciples vomit up onto Twitter. I know plenty of people who are still working, either from home or on the front lines interacting with people all day at their own risk, who also think O'Doherty and Waters are idiotic wastes of space.

The garda probably knew well who she was and didn't want to give her an excuse. If she'd told her to shut up or tried to take the phone off her, she'd probably have been accused of brutality. She was polite and professional, think that was a better riposte to the rudeness and bad manners.

I suppose that's true. But in fairness I think she overstepped the mark, she was provocative and rude, threatened the guard and filmed her without her consent. It was a bit much. I've seen people arrested for less.

Gemma seems to get away with a lot when she's speaking to the law, because she takes a good guess that they don't want the hassle. I think it would no harm for someone to soften her cough.

Spot on.

And sorry, but as much as I think that woman was in the wrong, and disgusting, she was allowed free reign to do it..

The camera filming in itself surely should have allowed the Garda to take action?

I don’t know, I guess ever since all this social media nonsense and the whole water protests where people were making outlandish claims of police brutality, it seems the cops are maybe too damn scared to cross a “line.”

Anyway, kind of makes me hard to get behind the Garda and respect them when they can allow this type of vile behaviour to go unchallenged..

Is O’Doherty married, and does she have children? God help them if so...

Imagine that was your daughter, sister, mother, aunt or relative.... nauseating!

Infini

Believe she does have children and even THEY'RE ashamed of her, nothing but sympathy for them having to deal with an absolute batshìt insane woman.

The guard was in a horrible spot. She's exactly the kind of nightmare who would make as big a fuss as possible about any perceived injustice or any mistake the guard made.

FloatingVoter

She's nothing any front-line worker in a supermarket / civil service /guards doesn't encounter a couple of times a week. As tempting as it may be to chuck them overboard / arrest them / execute them the best solution is to smile and let them blow themselves out. Then promptly put their grievance to the bottom of the pile. Or say it got lost in the logjam.

Time they called a halt to this notion that people have that they can shove a cameraphone in anyones face and just film away. Its time there was legislation brought in to outlaw it. Filming people without their consent and putting it on social media should be illegal.

More to the point they should actually throw libel laws at these feckers who record or stream people with malicious intent to defame. Would shut then up pretty fast if they were on the hook for a nasty legal bill or jail time.

Totally agree. With data protection being such a big issue now, it beggars belief how this is allowed to continue.

political analyst

O'Doherty is a political weathervane - she just goes whichever way the wind blows.

But Waters seems level-headed from what I know about him - he has been consistent in his criticism of family-law courts and the State's power over families, i.e. his opposition to the Children Amendment to the Constitution.
