Granny jailed for refusing to wear a face mask

Big Gerry

Unbelievable sending a Granny to jail for refusing to wear a face mask.

https://www.independent.ie/irish-news/courts/gran-sent-to-prison-over-refusal-to-wear-mask-40455194.html

A grandmother who “moved from defiance to openly challenge” the State by her steadfast refusal to wear a mask in shops and in court because of Covid-19 was remanded in prison for the weekend.

These are the consequences of her actions including abusing shop workers and contempt of court. Her own fault and just because she has Grandchildren doesnt mean she deserves sympathy.

People like her really pee me off. The vast majority of people are doing their best to get on top of Covid and then morons like her throw it in their faces. Many of us lost family members and other loved ones during the pandemic and were not able to say goodbye or attend funerals. She deserves flogging, not jail. Sorry if that seems a bit harsh, but I’m feeling emotional after losing a dear friend. Not Covid related, thankfully, but not being able to visit her in hospital was so, so hard.

Do we have to add these terms like “grandmother” as if that somehow changes everything.

No sympathy for her, she sounds like a complete arsehole who was going out of her way to break the law.

My granny is still in her home.

Crimes do not have an age limit.

I see you take the "rules are for some and not for others" approach.

Probably another naive soul that ventured a bit far down the FB Covid conspiracy hole.

Plenty went the same way. I have some sympathy for those that distinguish fact from fiction.

Deserves everything she gets especially as a lot of these restrictions were designed to protect the elderly.

I wonder is she still smirking in Cork Prison. I'd say the weekend will have knocked a bit of sense into her.

Attention seeking.

Why is it important that she is grandmother? Sympathy plea?

Serves her right, stupid gowl.
