    RTE and the Irish Times don't seem keen to promote BLM agenda all of a sudden. Great to see little if any Irish people involved in the protests just New Irish!

    The real irish will get involved on Twitter crying a river but they won't go out in the cold. They're not really offended or upset, just bandwagoning. I just can't get upset about a criminal I don't know getting shot while being a criminal. Shot by police or chopped up and put in a suitcase, I don't know them and I don't care.

    Above all, we must remember that a community is grieving and fearful for their children tonight.
    This is how you sow division.
    You make it out that there are killers on the prowl and they will kill kids for no reason.

    Oh wow, you throw the race card, disgusting individual you are.

    I absolutely disgust people like you..

    I have friends that are from other countries and I actually don't see colour I see a human being.

    But as it's come up this is how we can describe eachother and that's not racist.

    If I were pink or yellow I'd be called that wouldn't I!!!!

    I'm only replying to what you wrote, it certainly comes across as racist tarring all black people with the same brush.
    As for disgusting you, well not much i can do about that.

    Yeah definitely a guy in a green jacket shouting 'Can we stop this now' and signalling for everyone to go back, a few others at door doing the same.

    Problem with riling people up in a protest, is then trying to control them and the message

    Did you read my post at all?

    Facebook, Twitter and basically any other are dangerous but how is it the thugs followers can use it and not be questioned?

    I'm not falling for the crap posted and I only go for what's actually real hence why I stated what I did.

    I believe everyone has a right to a fair trial or fairness to be either guilty or not.

    I'm fully aware of what false accusations can do and have been in court myself and wouldn't wish it on anyone.

    Why do they try to get in to the shopping centre instead of a vigil at the house where he was killed?

    You won't get a ps5 at a house vigil

    Above all, we must remember that a community is grieving and fearful for their children tonight. An Garda Síochána must go above and beyond to demonstrate that they can be trusted to acknowledge and address bias, and police our communities fairly and transparently.


    WHAT A LOAD OF WAFFLE.

    THESE IDIOTS ARE ENABLING THIS BEHAVIOUR.

    Glazers Out!

    Shame there wasn't a social worker around to stop this unarmed aspiring young future engineer/astronaut/president from being cruely gunned down by the evil Gardaí for the harmless action of brandishing a weapon at multiple people.

    If anyone knows the victim(s) in the Spar and wants to start a gofundme i'd throw a few quid in

    Yep, he attacked policemen and women with a machete. Robbed a shop and beat up staff to get the police attention in first place.

    I'd say most of the shops in the center are thankful they are closing up this evening for lockdown.

    Yes, it must be terrible to have a member of your family killed in front of you.

    Has anyone offered an account on why George went to the shopping centre and attacked people, and why he was carrying a weapon?

    I'm sure his brother would have a good idea

    A reply to the Tanistes tweet:

    "Say his name Leo #GEORGENKENCHO. YOU need to defund and abolish the gardai. How many more young unarmed boys from minority backgrounds have to die at the hands of an inherently white supremacist police force before you act?? #BlackLivesMatter"

    Lads this is mental. I'd be worried if I was in parts of Dublin this weekend.

    I had to look up that poster Lucy Michael as they have been all over the place emoting on Twitter with highly inflammatory language. Communities fearful for their children now? Commenting on the lack of trust built up by police actions over time. Immediately associating it with issues in the UK and saying the gardai draw their policies and tactics from the UK. Claiming the gardai have inbuilt bias to perceive ethnic minorities especially Black people as inherently more aggressive. And so on.

    https://www.ihrec.ie/about/chief-commissioner-members-of-ihrec/dr-lucy-michael/
    Lucy Michael is a commissioner on the publicly funded Irish Human Rights and Equality commission - an independent public body that accounts directly to the Oireachtas. Says she is an Integration, diversity and equality ''expert''. Lucy should not promote unsubstantiated accusations against AGS in such a casual manner

    This was coming for years.

    Why Ireland thought it would be different to the world is beyond me.


    Only going yo get worst.

    I agree i can see it exploding, this narrative of he deserved to die is driving it.

    The brother claimed he only had a butter knife and was laying down after being tasered before being shot
