    Fella's do odd things to get their parking validated.

    It's a family law dispute and the judge is most certainly not being held, as the courts have been fully evacuated.

    He's already in custody.

    Worst cliffhanger ever

    I’d suggest all the tedious far left and far right wing oddballs around here keep the powder dry for a while longer until further details emerge. Might be a good time for you to have a shower and maybe go outside for some fresh air and a walk.

    Its the default response for "certain types" when they see gun and hostage reported anywhere.

    He left out the classic one "it's the religion of peace" or other such tripe as well!

    Hopefully Justice isn't done.

    There's been two. Both right (politically). And the usual brigade haven't even posted yet, so I don;t know what you're basing this on.

    Now - would't it be nice to have one thread - just ONE ****ing thread - where we could actually talk about what happened and not speculate about immigration, religion, Trump or ****ing right/left wing bias?

    SO FWIW:

    Guy in his 40s, porbably denied access to his children. Maybe on valid grounds, maybe not. Fathers don't have equal rights in Ireland and male mental health issues are something people like to sweep under the carpet. Perhaps those are issues more relevant to the thread?

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    Always worth begging that one in though.

    First they came for the socialists...



  • Registered Users Posts: 6,727 ✭✭✭ebbsy


    Nothing to see here. I like a story that goes on all day, a bit of tension.


    I feel robbed.

    i presumed this was a dig at the usual crowd

    Over and done with before Media set up base.

    Doubt it very much

    Ray - Why the angry reaction to a very simple question?

    A custody case?

    Custody cases are heard in the Children's Court. This was the Family Court, so a separation or divorce.

    The family law courts in Dublin’s Smithfield have been evacuated after reports a man with a gun is holding a judge hostage.

    Edit: according to the independent he has been taken into custody.

    Is it John Waters?

    Ray - Why the angry reaction to a very simple question?

    Maybe he fell for the trollbait, or maybe it's the standard reaction to ignorant bigotry that stiffles discussion. Only you know the answer to that one, and I'm guessing you're not saying.

    I’m far from ignorant and far from a bigot

    Carry on

    No, you're far from discussing the subject and even further from explaining why you need to ask the question if you're not a bigot, so we'll agree to disagree. Maybe I'm falling for the trollbait myself - I have a bit of a blindspot for that kind of thing - but I've already reported the post so I'll let a moderator make the final decision and leave you here.

    Let's wait and see on his reasoning. We all know the one that will see a mysterious number of fresh accounts on this thread.

    Solid job getting the situation under control by the authorities though.

    The place was presumably already thick with coppers in fairness.

    True but he apparently had a bomb on him, so getting to him before he could do anything with it does deserve credit. We could currently be talking about a lot of dead people right now otherwise.

    These days it takes carnage to get my attention.

    A let down.
