Gemma O'Dotty arrested

Yes, she has been the same for a number of years now. But for many years she wasn't. The transition seems to have taken place over a small number of years. If she had always been this way, I'd be more comfortable condemning her.

My position isn't to defend her - it's to hold off from making a determination either way. I won't defend her unacceptable behaviour, but I'm also not comfortable with the idea that one day she decided to become a horrible person. I agree that "psychological issues" has become a very easy excuse for bad behaviour. Maybe some day we'll know for sure either way in this case. Or maybe not.

It's possible to both condemn her behaviour and think she probably needs help, that's not defending her.

You cannot help people who do not want to be helped.

That's fine, you can be done if you like. Or you can read my post again. I gave Alzheimers as an example of a condition that can alter somebody's personality, and wondered if there could be other conditions that can affect personality. I specifically said that I "very much doubted" Alzheimers is what she has.

If anything, your post is in bad faith, accusing me of saying something when in fact I said the opposite. But again I won't judge, we all have bad days.

Woman is clearly deranged. But dangerously so. Knows what she’s at

If by "muddy the water" you mean I'm suggesting that as well as the possibility that she's just a horrible person, there's also the possibility that she could have a real psychological condition, then yes, I am. I see the water being muddy, although I accept I'm in a minority here.

Although specifically on Alzheimers, I'm not sure I can be much clearer than stating "I very much doubt she has Alzheimer's". Somehow that has come to mean that I think she does have Alzheimer's.

I have a Black & Decker hammer drill that will do the job just fine.

For her maybe we could pull out and dust off the repealed Witchcraft Act of 1586 . Joking ;)

She and a few other supporters of her faith were outside one of the main Dublin hospitals screaming abuse at nurses and healthcare workers during Covid saying they were 'murdering people ' giving them vaccinations etc , when they were just going in to work.

Those people were afraid going to work during the worst time in the history of our health service for fear of abuse .They were being spat at by these people who were only removed by the police when they started throwing things at workers . Weeks later .

How is that fair or right ?

Those people worrying about HER and feeling for HER should be thinking how would they feel if some bxxxx attacked them or their family members when they were going to their place of work

It's well past time that she was made to pay for her behaviour .

I don't feel pity or sympathy for anyone who behaves like that to others and particularly somebody like her who has had a good education and life up to this .

I don't think she's crazy at all , that's a cop out ... she's an evil, toxic , violent individual .

I wonder what John Water's excuse is?

I the latest edition of The Irish Light, he's listed as Associate Editor (O'Doherty is Editor).

This is the kind of hateful filth the pair are publishing:

What's the story with Waters now? Did he convert to some evangelical religion?

Yikes!

That kind of thing is oddly fascinating. If you were to sand the edges off of it a lot of the grievances underpinning it are common to the various rant threads in the CA forum.

The one big difference though is its fixation with Jewish people. I think your typical middle aged anti-wokista has no real truck with jewish people. In fact they'd call out the hard-left for being anti-semitic if anything.
