    (great crowd there)


    They are getting orgasmic over on Indymedia. They really like this sort of stuff. Kind of the Sky News for loopy anarchist type groups.

    He said gardaí arrived "almost immediately" and that there was "no hassle" until about midday when gardaí emerged through the windows of the Anglo headquarters and "dragged" them away in "a forceful manner".

    Another three people were arrested at the rear of the building where Mr MacCionnaith said a number of protesters were struck by gardaí.

    Irish Times

    We should have a counter protest in support of the banks;)

    for the last few years I've listened to nothing but internet warriors complaining about the state of the country and doing Fcuk all about it but whinging online.

    now some people actually make an attempt to stand up for something, and we're dealt the above comments.

    I really don't know what to fcukin think...... :rolleyes::mad:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 88,968 ✭✭✭✭mike65


    They are not standing up for you or me they are a bunch of stupid lefties trots


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 146 ✭✭mp3kid


    Delighted!!

    I agree with what you are saying but standing on a porch with a silly sign is hardly standing up for anything...it's making yourself look like a dIck regardless of whether you are right or not.

    Now if they had worn some superhero suits, well they would have the ears & eyes of the nation on them :D

    I forgot the not Biko! Better remove the thanks


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 81,060 ✭✭✭✭biko


    I know, that's why I quoted the post.

    Maybe you can elaborate on why they are stupid?

    I wouldn't bank on that happening.:P

    It's time to lend the banks some support;)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 23,315 ✭✭✭✭amacachi


    How exactly should the Gardaí remove someone who doesn't want to leave in a non-forceful manner?

    This may shock you but the Internet isn't one single person with one single unified opinion.

    There's a huge surplus in poor financial puns recently, I wish people would save them rather than depositing them all over forums. Maybe if you loaned them out and if they got a good response leave them, if they weren't welcomed just withdraw them. I'm starting to see Red because of them at this stage.



    Cough..

    Well, what is?

    It's better than whinging on here. there must be a hundred thousand posts on here giving out about the banks, and as soon as someone does protest, however "silly" they look, it's not fcuking good enough.

    It's pathetic.

    I would ask how are they NOT stupid? A bunch of "political" protesters jump on an awning waving a banner and achieve exactly what? Conscious raising? or merely attempting to boost the profile of some organisation that would turn us into Republican Commies if they had the chance?

    No one should fall for that.

    indymedia are still removing comment they don't agree with I see.

    A Sean Fitzpatrick effigy has just been burned outside the bank curiously enough by the scumbags....

    How the fcuk should I know?
    Don't get your knickers in a twist with me because you don't like to hear the truth. Honestly, they are not doing themselves or their opinions any good whatsoever.
    They look crazy.
    They may have a point but they look crazy pointing it out to the rest of us.

    So instead of whinging about everyone else expressing an opinion on the topic why don't you have a little think about a more effective approach & join them the next day they have a protest.

    It's pointless, what do they expect to achieve by telling people to 'Rise Up'? Lets all get out there on the ledge with them.. what could possibly go wrong

    he made a perfectly valid point. how do you know that the two posters you quoted have been whinging??

    Are you against what the banks have done Mike?

    And assuming so, why haven't you stood up to them?

    See, I've no idea who these people are, so I'm not showing bias against them. All I'm thinking is "fair fcuks to them, compared to the thousands of whingers who complain and do nothing!"

    They could hug them until they leave. Those lefties would probably think it was some scheme to infect them with super secret anthrax

    Also what do they want us to rise up against? I presume they want us to rise up against bad drivers...

    Davyjose I haven't firebombed any I admit, what should I do? Remove my savings? That'll show em.

    Cough..

    There's more of a problem if you've got insufficient puns in your account.
