    Wrong.

    Funny seeing the lads shrieking about some horrible Nazi getting one in the neck now cheering for actual state-sanction murder.

    The foreigner residing among you must be treated as your native-born. Love them as yourself, for you were foreigners in Egypt. I am the LORD your God.

    I haven't seen this film.

    Wag the Dog (1997) Shortly before an election, a spin-doctor and a Hollywood producer join efforts to fabricate a war in order to cover up a Presidential sex scandal.

    The next year Regan invaded Grenada without telling Congress. I can remember the news reports, The US media were showing satellite photos, the UK media had reporters standing on the runway at the airport. That's when congress should have acted to limit the abuse of presidential powers. It's another thing that harks back to Regan.

    On point 1, the same excuse could be used for Trump to attack any ally country with a US base.

    Ultimately though it's about cutting off Canada.

    what ? None of that disputes my post - easy way to avoid being shot by a federal agents.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,291 ✭✭✭Theboinkmaster


    so you conflate a man being assassinated for speaking v a woman driving over a federal agent and him defending himself …. righto….

    Can you provide any evidence that anyone shot by ICE deserved it?

    yes all the videos this week of the incident I’m referring to.



  • Subscribers, Paid Member Posts: 45,520 ✭✭✭✭sydthebeat


    When is that ICE agents funeral??

    Seeing as he was driven over by an SUV there's no possibly way he survived surely.

    It's not like he simply walked away from such a violent collision like that..... That would be impossible 🤣

    love how you ignore my simple post on how this lady could have avoided this :



    don’t follow and harass them 

    Don’t shout abuse at them 

    Don’t obstruct them

    Don’t not follow lawful commands 

    Don’t resist arrest

    Don’t drive into them with your car

    And his response was entirely against DHS policy so nope shouldn't have shot her. You're just another apologist for murder.

    Failing to follow the instructions of a law enforcement agent is a very minor public order offence. If a Garda shouts at you across the street "Come here you, I want to talk to you" and you decide to run away, what law have you broken? It's extremely unlikely that you would be charged with anything if stopped later in the day by the same Garda.

    The MAGA cult appear to be under the impression that a person (who is neither a criminal or a suspect) who fails to follow instructions has committed the gravest of criminal offences and can be gunned down if necessary.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,291 ✭✭✭Theboinkmaster


    she wasn’t shot for not obeying commands


    she was shot because she tried to drive over a federal agent

    Mod: Closing this whilst I clean it up. Posters really should take some time off the Internet for a bit anyways based on the level of 'reasonable discussion' that this thread has descended to



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 58,693 ✭✭✭✭Necro


    Reopening thread now. I've deleted many posts that were just off topic bickering, warned a number of posts and applied bans for either trolling or excessive personal abuse. Going forward abusive comments towards another poster directly will be met with a one week forum ban at a minimum. Think before you post, or just ignore/report if your only rebuttal is to insult the poster.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,290 ✭✭✭fish fingers


    You have lost your mind, if you think she deserved to be shot in the head. I have to ask, are you American? As far as I can see, she was trying to get away from the thug with the face mask. She wasn't angry, she even told him so.

    He couldve shot out the tyres, no, shoot her three times in the head and call her a fcuking bitch after doing it.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 31,729 ✭✭✭✭looksee


    There is zero evidence she tried to drive over him. He was filming her and shooting at her and was still on his feet at the end of it. HE filmed her turning the steering wheel away from him and he had plenty of time to step back if he felt threatened. Why are you so enthusiastic about arguing the MAGA line in face of clear evidence to the contrary? Why are you so keen to have power mad, under-trained, over-paid goons having so much power to carry out their fantasies?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 509 ✭✭✭bluedex


    I understand your frustration but there's no point entering into any discourse with an individual who posts disgusting tripe like this.

    I find the justifications of murder on here totally unbelievable and abhorrent. Some people are just sick.

    Never argue with an idiot. They will only bring you down to their level and beat you with experience.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,004 ✭✭✭yagan


    The simple fact is that a third of the US electorate voted for chaos three times. During his first term there were still too many old Republics around to keep him in check but his reelection was a clean sweep for unrestrained narcissism.

    The US during his first term was described as a hot mess, but now the house is burning down.

    Alternative trade blocs are forming like the RCEP after Trump pulled the USA out of the TPP, the EU-Japan zero tariff on autos, and now Mercosur.

    I know, I've been trying to avoid Trump stuff since the new year, but the killing of this lady and the re framing of her as some kinda paid agitator and this person above trying to make it OK has got me feeling so angry.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 86 ✭✭D-Lo Brown


    It genuinely makes me sad. A severe decline in human decency over the last decade or so. Justifying shooting a woman in the face 3 times. It really does make you despondent.

    I think I need to check out of here for a while for my own good.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,708 ✭✭✭✭A Dub in Glasgo


    Between this thread and the Israel one, my ignore list has ballooned over the course of year. I do still see other posters replies though

    This 1951 agreement gives the US all they need for defence.

    They are destroying their reputation and breakdown age old relationships for nothing.

    Is it a decline or did we just over estimate the progress/evolution of the human race ? We are capable of incredible sophistication in terms of technology and art but at our core lurks a dumb angry beast that can be activated and manipulated with great ease.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,924 ✭✭✭amandstu


    Seems to me she was killed for giving lip to law enforcement.

    A lesson to others who might imagine that the government is to serve the people.

    Everyone was falling about in the ice but the killer himself,supposedly run into by the car stayed on his feet,filmed the episode ,fired 3 shots ,called the victim a fuçking bitch and walked away from the scene of the crime.

    Evidence withheld from the State authorities by Trump's placemen so no trustworthy enquiry can be expected

    What are they doing in the Hyacinth house?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,965 ✭✭✭✭charlie14


    For me any proposed deal that is up for a decision should be decided based on its merits, or the lack of them, at that time. No business will sign a deal based on second guessing what the other side may or may not do next. With what we are seeing from the U.S. since that deal was originally agreed, not only should it not be signed off on second guessing what the U.S. supreme court may or may not decide on tariffs, it should most definitely not be signed now by the E.U with the U.S. threatening to invade a E.U. member state.

    It`s past time for the E.U. to stand up to this bully boy U.S. administration and show what it stands for. Not doing so will have the same result as kowtowing to a school yard bully. It wont stop the bullying, it will just encourage them to come back looking for even more.
