Did the Gardai even bother to turn up?

Or maybe they did to take the caller away for wasting police time?

Why did they stand there when put under citizens arrest? I'd have laughed at the crazy old geezer and walked away.

They stood there because they are decent young men and women. They probably realised their mistake straight away and probably did not want to cause any more trouble.

I wish I was the desk officer when that guy cregan rang

Check out some of the comments on indymedia

The Gardai did show up, but no law was broken so citizens arrest was terminated -- the whole thing sounded surreal ---

Haven't heard about this, has anyone got a link?

If no offence was committed that guy can be done for false arrest and should be

Huggles

Thanks for the link. Your man Cregan sounds like a complete tool, wasting police time. Then going back to the hotel later to harrass the troops some more...arggh!

Why? He made a wrong call but his intentions were just. As soon as the error was realised they were released. Doing him for false arrest would be a complete waste of time.

Guy:Incognito

The person that wrote thet"article" on indymedia actually calls themselves a reporter.:)

It's a badly written, one sided, the world is against us, spelling mistake ridden farce.

"DGda Jarlaith Fathy, a man who once tried to frame him for a crime he did not commit, was leaning over the reception desk."

I mean wtf? do we have proof?

I must be thick, what was his intention?

What? Hysteria and badly reported news on indymedia? Well I never!

As for this "citizens arrest" - the less said, the better!

So anyone I dont like I can basically kidnap as long as I pronounce it to be a citizens arrest? Then when the gards come along I'll just say "oops, my mistake"

Comments on Indymedia are hilarious. Makes me laugh to see how some people think.

Makes me sick, to be honest. Can't stand the bloody morons who post on that site.

Someone doodled the Indymedia web address on the bathroom wall in Doyle's, next to an anarchy sign. Says it all really.

Bloody wierdos.

Mossy Monk

should have been arrested himself for being a Garda time wasting idiot

Ireland's a funny place. All these liberals, anti-war types and self-proclaimed 'anarchists'.

The liberals are vitriolic and aggresively intolerant of anybody with an opinion that differs from theirs.

The anti-war types sit around, foaming at the mouth about the injustices faced by the poor of the world and the evil West that's causing their suffering. But would they actually go to Palestine, Chechnya, Africa, etc. and do any relief work? The overwhelming, almost exclusive majority do not.

"Anarchists" are generally tree-hugging, unemployed losers who couldn't be bothered getting up off their arses to chane their underwear, let alone an entire society and its establishment. Quite ironic really. "Boo hoo, I've got a crap inferior-mediocre life and I want to change society completely so it satisfies my lazy outlook on life and the injustices I see all around me - such as a strong economy, free education and jobs for anyone that wants one and who's prepared to stay off the dope and skag for more than a day" - yeah. Nice one you nincompoops.

You can pretty much label these know-everything, do-nothing malcontents as "hypocrites"

And don't get me started on Residents Against Racism (Retards Against Reality?)

thats rich - waste of time

i think the waste of time happened alot earlier in the day. but the law on false arrest/citizens arrest is a very dodgy area for anybody attempting an arrest - only the gardai can arrest on suspicion of a crime. And you can be done for false arrest if no crime has been committed

humanji

It's funny, but I made a comment on Indymedia that was against what those nutters say (quite polite and a little witty, if I do say so myself

) and it got deleted! There's freedom for you!

rkeane

If anything all Indymedia does is provide some fun for us all. They are the biggest idiots ever to publish on the internet. The goones that post on that site generally fall into 2 classes. The 1st class would be very rich liberals who want no war and free for all immigration and unlimited asylum seeking. The 2nd section would be those dam anarchists...basically young people with a wreck the place attitude....they are all very sad indeed.

From one of the comments on indymedia:

"The Irish state and the Gardai therefore are in gross breach of the their duties under international law, in failing to arrest these US Soldiers.
Furthermore, they are in breach of Irish criminal law, in failing to investigate whether any of these US soldiers have been involved in crimes in Iraq and Afghanistan, just as much as they would have been in breach of Irish criminal law if they failed to investigate individuals who were passing through the Republic of Ireland and who may have been involved in the Omagh boming.

The courage and determination shown by Conor Cregan in temporarily arresting these soldiers contrasts with the cowardise and dereliction of duty of the Gardai. These same Gardai have had no hesitation in wrongfully arresting several peace activists at Shannon airport.

Well done, Citizen Cregan"

Classic stuff.

Dave!

Citizen Cregan, lol

Every single time that site gets mentioned. Citizen Smith, with broadband.
