Instantly not interested. Gardai while not perfect hardly have a penchant for violence.

Is that bloke a primary school teacher?

So you're writing off the whole protest because of one person with a camera?!

Wolfe Tone · 08-10-2011 11:26PM

Its nearly always good to see people take to the streets to make a statement and to stand up for what they believe in.

Unfortunately there seems to be an opinion among the majority in Ireland that doing so is somehow wrong, something to be mocked and looked down on. Its that type of attitude which has let us be trampled on, don't make a fuss.

Fair play to these people for taking the time to get off their arses and actually try to change things, something the inevitable posters who will say that those who took part are unemployed tossers with nothing better to do, have probably never done, they are content to sneer at those who do, basking in a false sense of superiority, all the while getting shafted.

What are they hoping to achieve exactly?

Absurdum · 08-10-2011 11:27PM

No I'm just saying I'm not interested in that particular persons video(s), their take on things.

Fair enough, but it's just documenting the protest. Surely it's useful on its own merits for that?

The tits on yer man......

joshrogan · 08-10-2011 11:29PM

It's bludgeoning time! To the Garda mobile!

Corsendonk · 08-10-2011 11:31PM

Are they there tonight? Should be fun when someone tries to take a slash against a tent!

phasers · 08-10-2011 11:31PM

Isn't the Central Bank closed on Saturdays anyway?

To document stuff is always a great idea but how you present it is very important. Unfortunately as a result of their other video they wouldn't appear to be balanced and fair, therefore ruling out any interest on my part of their recordings.

Still doesn't achieve anything. It's a good show of force I agree, but rabble all the same.

Have you watched it? It's literally straight documentation. No voiceover; no editing; no apparent bias--just a recording of one guy's speech. It's under two minutes long.

You're right, there's nothing wrong with the video as such but having looked at another one I'm just not interested in anything that person has to say/document.
