The horses should have been killed to save human lives.

If you tried that in France for example, you could be 100% assured that the police would : 1) Absolutely bring the situation under control (with serious physical force) 2) The horses would have been impounded / confiscated. 3) Everyone involved would have been arrested, if necessary with the riot police involved - tear gas etc. 4) YouTube footage would have been used to bring prosecutions. The US police would probably have just opened fire! This isn't funny, it's just total lawlessness and it put hundreds of road users in danger, not to mention that it's extremely cruel to the horses. Given that this is on YouTube, there are plenty of images of regs etc, the entire traffic law book should be thrown at them!

donegal_road wrote: » give a guess how many Gardai were assigned to the Anglo Irish Bank investigation?.... Answer:.... 11 The worst financial scandal in Irish history and perhaps even in the entire history of Europe is being investigated by a smaller team than most countries would assign to investigate a rural post-office robbery. Is it any wonder that Anglo staff have failed to assist the investigation and in some cases deliberately obstructed it? Meanwhile we have a couple of squad cars chasing 2 horses down the road
