    Why are they called free men. As opposed to what ? A contained man.

    Yeah I watched it,he just lost it at one point and turned around and lashed out indiscriminately, not even assessing the situation or who was standing in front of him with a clear head shot,what I find most worrying is if you freeze it at a certain point his face looks psychopathic.

    "Freemen-on-the-land" are a loose group of individuals believing in a conspiracy theory that they are bound by statute laws only if they consent to those laws. They believe that they can therefore declare themselves independent of the government and the rule of law, holding that the only "true" law is their own interpretation of "common law".

    He knew who was there because the man had been pushing him prior to drawing the baton. He tried to push the man away with his arm but the man came back. The man also seems to have been trying to take his notebook.

    If you freeze any moving image of anybody's face it'd might look 'psychopathic'. Run it on another half second and it could look any number of things.

    I've heard enough anyway. His face looks psychopathic if you freeze it at a certain point.

    Not being funny but theres a lot of people talking about this notebook, and the reason the guard lost the head. Is it a special notebook?

    Serious question? Yes, a garda notebook is very important. Judges ask for them in court.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 171 ✭✭_davidsmith_


    Grand no i just thought it was weird people going on about a notebook, but if its admissable in court and all then i get why its important


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,969 ✭✭✭hardCopy


    Garda overreacted and lost the head. Should be disciplined for it.

    But I've no sympathy for the gob****e protestor, it probably made his day.

    Does it matter what it was? I reckon it had a prayer for peace that he was going to try and read out, not that it matters.
    Still doesn't give the right for the bunch of feckwits to do what they did.

    I think it looks more like an orgasm face.

    Pretty obvious the Garda lost the plot in a moment of rage. Also are they not trained to draw their baton first and gauge the reaction of the person before actually using it? Somehow I doubt the way that Garda used his baton so fast was the same way he was trained to use it. You can see the moment on his face where he goes into a fit of rage, somehow I'm doubting that using a baton in such an uncontrolled manner is considered to be best policing practice.

    Its not that long since the Met in London killed Ian Tomlinson with a baton to the legs so the use of these weapons and the scenarios they're used in by police has to be justified, especially as their use can be fatal.

    How would you react with someone trying to steal from your hand

    Your opinion, which youre entitled to. Many people would believe a guard isnt entitled to hit one of the "feckwits" as hard as he could twice over his prayer book being grabbed at. Their opinion.

    I've no time for the Freemasons but I have no time for Garda like that either. Talk about pure stupidity and incompetence. I feel most sorry for his colleagues who would have to work with someone like that. The situation was dying down, and in a small cramped space where the Gardai are vastly out-numbered it's mind blowing that one of your colleagues would basically react like that.

    How is that relevant to this story ? Tomlinson didn't die because he was hit on the legs with a batton.

    I'm so utterly sick of this argument. What happened beforehand is irrelevant - assault isn't ok period.
