    Right, saw the news about Travellers shooting, slashing and fighting in Smithfield.

    This is the link with video.

    http://www.rte.ie/news/2011/0306/smithfield.html

    Now, apart from the obvious shots being fired in the footage and panic setting in, from around 0.32, there is a guy in a bright blue coat with what appears to be a horses face instead of a regular human face. Any ideas?

    The horse dude turned up a day late for the human fair that was on the previous day.

    you can see him leading his human by the bridle if you look closely.

    That should hopefully put an end to that.

    Medieval nonsense.

    what buying and selling horses or trying to kill people

    they are both current things to do arent they, even fashionable in some circles.

    or is it just the location you object to?

    Now i'm no racist put since we have a few africans living in Ireland, surely we should get some trading scheme in place! Also the wild will be a more natural setting for the travel community!

    I would like to point out that an awful lot of the people that go there are not travellers but :horse owners: from the likes of Finglas,Ballyfermot,Tallaght,Clondalkin and other areas.

    Shooting people in broad daylight, in an area packed with people. Not the sharpest are they.

    Oh I don't know

    harder to go for an insanity or spur of the moment lost control of meself m'lud plea if you plan it all and attempt to do it in a clandestine fashion

    be upfront and right out in the open with your horrific violent crime and the justice system will no doubt treat you leniently given your cash cow status because of your likelihood to reoffend.

    To be used in legal action later,and also to prevent further escalation from other people who may recognize them, i think.

    Don't ban the horse fair, just napalm it. Dublins' crime statistic halved in on day.
