    Burton was in the car cop pulled a peaceful protestor from the crowd and both of them fell to the street followed by the ballybricken ruck
    eventually the protestor was escorted to.the wagon as burton drove off while chewing on her after 8s and ibs capsules...

    I wonder how the same situation would pan out if it was the UK equivalent ie deputy prime minister (nick clegg?).....who was visiting a UK regional capital or say vice president of USA Joe bided......How would a group of 'peaceful protesters' be treated ? How close would they get to either of them. If somebody lunged towards person/car I think it might be a slightly different reaction from the security people?

    Jesus if only the Tourist board was as good at attracting visitors to the city as this thread ,:pac:

    Any way seen the video and the protester and the Garda seem to stumble over each other and end up on the ground, No Cage fighting skills on display, If I was to use one word to describe it Awkward, Comes to mind.
    Now in the interest of fairness ,When they go down the protester lands slightly on top ,The other Gardai who get involved seem to turn to see a fellow officer in trouble and jump in to help control the situation (which one would expect them to do)
    There was no over use of violence or anything like that and the protestor didn't fight back.

    ^^^

    So, two awkward people v gravity, rather than 'evil bullyboy guard v peaceful harmless protestor'?

    That's the thing about some of the protesters you just can't believe anything they say as it's twisted to suit their agenda.

    If he's the 'prick from facebook' I described earlier, then what harm? Seems only right?

    Bumping this one as I think the 'peaceful protesters' are back in action, in the Ballygunner area over the last few days, I know someone out there who got their 'nice new water meter' installed yesterday.............the 'protesters' were knocking on doors in advance of the works asking people to join them and resist the installation

    It's getting ridiculous. I live in a very anti area. I'm sick of the bellends posting notifications of their silly little meetings through my door.

    I'd be half tempted to bring the lads out tea and a plate of hobnobs when they arrive to do their days work....

    Don't worry, protesters are dwindling. I have to laugh at the part timers who protest at Topaz, biggest bunch of knobs. Always make it may business to driver in and give Topaz business when they are out!

    I feel I have to point it out at this stage...

    If your going to persist in using that ridiculous nickname you might as well get it right. It's 'Moany Joany'. Not 'moan joan'.

    Yeah, protests are dwindling, not to worry eh Jamie2k9, lets just shut our little mouths and hand over yet more money to the government to prop up the bondholders like good little boys and girls. I mean, Irish Water only has out best interests at heart right? That delightful little company are only trying to fix the pipes for us and not to screw us over, no not at all. I mean, how shocking of people to question a charge government demands of us. Some people eh?

    Not a huge fan of the water protestors antics but you can't argue that the things they are shouting about are true, no matter how crazy they come across..

    http://www.irishexaminer.com/viewpoints/columnists/michael-clifford/water-cant-wash-away-siteserv-stench-327000.html

    Its a difficult situation, don't shout too loud and no one will listen, shout too loud and people will think your crazy.

    I would point out the irony but I fear it'd be lost on you.
