bubblypop wrote: » pretty sure most people support the Garda. unfortunately in this thread, they only seem to support them when it is 'against' a minority. there are so many posters on here that will go full on backing AGS when it seems to be a minority V AGS pity those same posters dont support AGS in their everyday activities! :rolleyes:

In this case, the dangerous reaction against the Gardai while they were doing their job, upholding the law. Now aside from the stock charges of xenophobia and ( your words) casual homophobia,what is your opinion on what happend in this incident? Do you support the Guards, or the protesters?

It is one thing to voice your concerns about unfettered immigration to Ireland and its consequences - but quite another to whip up xenophobic hatred and drop some casual homophobia in there too. The Current Affairs forum is where all the bigots and hate mongers on boards come out to play... keep them corralled and watched over.

Not the short 1m40s version that we can all see on Twitter, but the unedited long version that somebody obviously has. I was promptly removed from the chat. The video looks bad, but it's heavily edited. Until I see the full version I'll reserve judgement. You don't just have 8 Gardai at an incident for no reason.

This "OMG I'm outraged" style of posting is getting so tiresome. Thankfully more and more people are getting fed up with it, and recognizing it for what it is: emotional manipulation.

Everything is down to a tee. We are taken for mugs basically. Spend a lifetime working and get jacksh1t back. But rock up from Africa and get everything on a plate. And it's predominantly they who sponge en masse. Where I live is slowly developing a Syrian I think community and they are scum. One of my friends was out for a run back before Xmas one evening and finished at a shopping centre. 3 or 4 of them basically followed her around a shopping centre. Making remarks about her to her face. Brazen as. She stopped running after 4pm for 2 months either side of xmas as a result. I've friends and family members who will never own their own house. Yet there is literally thousands of houses in Dublin occupied by our African imports who don't work and the rent is covered by the state on top of generous welfare payments.
