Rape tape crusty apologises and abandons her flimsy principles

Motorist

Rape tape crusty, Jerrie Ann Sullivan, was convicted of wilful obstruction in Belmullet District Court several months ago. It involved an incident where she put a bicycle U lock around her neck and locked herself to a truck. The public road was closed for hours. She also ignored instructions from gardai.

She apologised yesterday as it seems the prospect of not getting a visa to to the US won out over her flimsy principles.

Also interesting to note the utmost respect she has for the law in the US, but utter disregard she has for the law here. It seems these crusty protesters are complete hypocrites - all against capitalism and anti-US, but please, please dont stop me from going there !

Apologise or you have no future, coercion at it's finest.

I'd say leniency at its finest. She should have had the book thrown at her.

After a brief adjournment, Ms Sullivan, through her counsel, Mr Mulrooney, apologised to road users, gardai and the court for taking up their time.

Through Mr Mulrooney, she added that she thought what she did could be morally and legally justified at the time.

So the stupid wench didn't even apologise herself?

Ms Sullivan's barrister, Leo Mulrooney, read out a list of Ms Sullivan's academic achievements -- she is currently a PhD student at NUI Maynooth -- and detailed her charitable work.

He asked Judge Groarke to strike out the charges as it would affect her prospects.

Then why the fúck didn't she think about "her prospects" before obstructing Gardai or causing a public road to be blocked for more than three hours as a result of her actions?

Where does it state she is anti-American? Or are you being an ass and assuming her politics? I didn’t get that if you disagree with American foreign policy made you anti-American. I love the US and its people and love going there but their government and how they carry on can suck my plums!

Because it would have involved "thinking".

Yeah right, good luck finding a plumber to reassemble it.

The auld one has a flatpack wardrobe form ikea sitting in the spare bedroom for the last six months; can get a carpenter for love nor money to put it together. Apparently all these tradesmans have fcuked off to Australia.

No, just move the teleporters around on the back of truck. When all is said and done it the handiest way, although with way the price of diesel is heading 'tis going to cost a fortune either way.

In fairness, these rent-a-crusties jump on every bandwagon going, like a fly to cow $hite.

Why is it that when something that actually exists in real life, ie a teleporter, is mentioned that everyone pretends they don't know what it is and instead focuses on a fictional article which some scriptwriter named in his ignorance?
Google it, and the first two answers are about the fictional item, then the next twenty are of the real life item.

People are becoming more and more stupid.

Everyone knows that if you put one teleporter in another teleporter and

The author of this highly tendentious OP sort of reminds me of the Wilhelm Busch tale about the cook who could whip fifty blancmanges out of a single egg white. She married a barber, who could make an awful lot of foam out of very little soap. :rolleyes::rolleyes:

The young lady, who is described using the pejorative term "crusty", is used as some kind of example to tar with the same brush all who exercise their right to protest. She did not commit violence and her complaints against the Gardai were, unless someone can prove otherwise, made in good faith.:)

She can not be blamed for realising later that her conviction for a minor offence could lead to her having to pay an utterly disproportionate price in that she would be refused an American visa.:cool:

The whole Corrib gas thing has been horribly mishandled by those in Ireland who would have had the power to ensure a valuable national natural resource benefits the Irish people as a whole rather than posing a very real threat to the lives and health of some of them, in other words, by the Government, and those protesters deserve at least recognition that they are sincere if misguided. Mudslinging and name-calling only reflects back on those who engage in it.:mad:

p.s. She's pretty easy on the eye as well, and what should be worrying us a lot more than a peaceful protest is the fact that it now seems to be just taken for granted that young people like her have no future here in Ireland. Maybe the OP's anger and smears should be better aimed at the political parties who are giving our national wealth away.:rolleyes:

If that complaint was made in good faith, which would mean she thought there was a genuine threat of rape, then she is as thick as pig****.

Utter disproportionate price? I would say rendering an applicant , with no respect for the local laws, inadmissible to the US is a good system for an extremely security conscious country.

You say she can't be blamed for her own ignorance? Doesn't every college student, especially one supposedly as bright as this crusty, realise that a criminal conviction will prevent you from obtaining a visa? I suppose instead we should blame Shell for her ignorance of US immigration law. Anyway, it was certainly interesting to see her abandon her heartfelt principles and objection to the project all for a summer of drinking in the US, especially after all the media attention she has attracted over the past year. It might be time for Maura Harrington to retake the limelight as the poster girl for the cause down there.

People who make false claims of rape should be swiftly charged and sent to court

You can destroys a persons life with messing, mud sticks

And sure we start doubting the genuine cases

These liers can be charged but maybe a few high profile cases and sentences are needed to send out a message.

True, but when did she make a claim - false or otherwise - of rape? :rolleyes::rolleyes:

I suggest you withdraw your false claim that she did so.:D

The claim that she actually made was about highly inappropriate comments that some Gardai had made and were accidentally captured on her camcorder. The fact that no criminal prosecution has been brought against the officers in question indicates that the tolerance level in Ireland may still be too high, and perhaps also that loutish behaviour and grossly bad taste on the part of some members of our police force are not regarded as criminal.:)

I'm confused now

Who cried rape when the gardai were lifting her down from the machinery

Maybe that was another thread

It seems hurling claims of rape at garda is par for the course with protesters down there. But of course the law doesn't apply to the crusties - they just involk it when it suits their own agenda.

http://www.independent.ie/national-news/rape-claims-were-hurled-at-gardai-by-protesters-2800104.html

"Another video tape has emerged relating to the so-called Mayo garda "rape tape" which suggests gardai who were removing two women protesters from a tractor -- in the presence of female officers -- were being accused of rape."

"As one of the women is helped on to the bonnet and then down into the arms of one of the female officers one of the male gardai can be heard saying "I am trying to get you down", while another woman is shouting in the background. A female voice can then be heard shouting "outrageous" and then, in a lower tone and from another female voice, the word "rape" can be heard."

"According to garda sources at least one unidentified woman protester used the word repeatedly as she was being moved from the site."

Imagine the stress of abuse being hurled at the gardai down there and allegations of rape being thrown at them constantly. Police forces making light of violent crime may seem distasteful but these are private coping mechanisms for situations which are incredibly hard to deal with. In high-stress situations black humour is a much-needed source of relief, as cynical or heartless as it may appear to those outside the profession. Of course the crux of this whole matter is that these individual garda were making this joke in private in their own separate car. Most of us would be utterly unhappy if private jokes made about customers, clients, etc were made public, especially when the whole context of them is lost.

The action, or more accurately lack thereof, by the Garda Ombudsman highlights just how frivolous this complaint was viewed and the veracity of how threatened this crusty felt. The only thing they were guilty of, in my opinion, was failing to check if the recorder they had confiscated was still recording.

Anyway, if she locked herself to a teleporter on the back of a truck, the driver should've just went on his merry way to Corrib until she copped on and unlocked herself.

Indeed, but the general public tend to be morons.

It would be like me starting a thread saying about that step-dad in America who beat his step-son to death and finishing the post by saying "All step-dads are murderers". That is to say, pointless and incorrect.

Not murderers, but stepchilfren are more likely to suffer harm than a natural. I'll post a link, I have the publication at home.

Nope, she was told she would get two convictions and still wouldn't apologise. Then her lawyer hauled her off to a back room and presumably told her to cop the fuck on. She returned, got her lawyer to apologise for her, with an addendum that she still "thought what she did could be morally and legally justified at the time"

What a load of bullsh*t. Why does having a PhD work in her favour? Surely that should indicate she shuold have more cop on? She doesn't accept responsibility, it's the most futile apology going. What a joke of a system we have here. It's getting more ridiculous every passing week with stories like this. She tried to ruin two cops careers who tried to do their job and tried to stop her killing herself and receiving a posthumous Darwin Award. What a nasty, vindictive c*nt. Delighted the judge didn't stop her going to America, she'll stay there hopefully. With the American justice system and having watched Louis Theroux's Miami Jail series, I hope she trys that over there and gets the treatment she deserves.

Rape only occurs after penetration. If the Guard copped a feel while extracting the crusty down off the tractor then you could argue that a sexual offence has occurred, but we all know that didn't happen.
