Bloody Sunday 2010

You're comparing someone being knocked down to 14 people being slaughtered at a GAA stadium?

Just a slight exaggeration, don't you think?

Sinn Fein are the only people fighting this bastard government..dont hold with thier beliefs but at least they're doing something.

we'llallhavetea_old · 22-11-2010 01:06AM

well i doubt they wanted to run someone over

cursai · 22-11-2010 01:07AM

When did the car hit him? He caused an obstruction to traffic if you want to get technical about it......although i do support him in his cause.

Son Of A Vidic · 22-11-2010 01:09AM

Was that one of our wonderfully trained ministerial Garda drivers? Are they not trained to deal with angry protesters? Oh wait he did.....

If you really want to get technical about it you should be aware that a pedestrian always has right of way, unfortunately.

I hope he's not seriously injured but generally speaking if you stand on a public road in front of a moving vehicle then there is a strong chance that vehicle will knock you down.

Mint Sauce · 22-11-2010 01:13AM

Did the driver stop, if not can he/she be reported for hit and run?

Cheap Thrills! · 22-11-2010 01:14AM

Anyone see it happen....did the car stop?

Seemingly it went over his leg and he's in hoppo gettin an X-ray now.

sixpack's little hat · 22-11-2010 01:15AM

He should sue the government for 100 billion euro! :cool:

Sardonicat · 22-11-2010 01:15AM

RTE news just now said a protestor was injured during a scuffle and taken to hospital in an ambulance. No mention that they were knocked down by a car, which the BBC report claimed.

A few points for you..

Today Sunday 21st of November is 90 years since Bloody Sunday.

Sunday 21st of November 2010 The Irish government sell us out another day for the history books.

I suspect he was referring to the murder of 13 civilians in Derry in 1972?

Bloody Sunday also refers to Sunday 21st of November 1920 When the brits opened fire on a gaa crowd Tipperary vs Dublin.

We are not Greece, but 1 in a million wil behave like this. Not the drivers fault.

And to be fair, this is probably more like "a bit bruised sunday," or maybe "fractured sunday."

Whoever said pedestrians always have right of way - this has been changing in the courts recently apparently.

Regardless of what the law says, every driver knows, or at least they should know, that if a pedestrian walks into the road, runs or jumps on the road and starts playing the tambourine, it is your duty to do everything in your power not to hit them. To hit a pedestrian is the cardinal sin of driving. (And yes I recognise accidents are sometimes unavoidable)

It also refers to the DMP attack on striking workers in 1913 and the attacks on Catholics in Belfast during the war of independence. We're mad about our bloody sundays in this country.
