    Funny how nobody called it 'violence' when Michael Noonan got a pie in his face, or when John Prescott was hit with an egg at close range (which, in fairness, probably hurt), or when Ian Paisley hurled a snowball at Jack Lynch. Throwing harmless objects at people in power has always been a legitimate form of protest.

    Yep, like 99.9% of normal people, I completely condemn this sh1t.
    It has been used by extreme activists (only apparently 'on the left' though it pains me to say that) over the last few years, 'milkshaking' and lauded by armchair ars*holes.

    Nobody should be terrorised by having stuff in which they don't know what it is, being flung over you or into your face.
    And it is terrorising

    Who the fck do these fckurs think they are?

    Is this really where we're going as a society? Having different political views means you're a target to be assaulted?

    Honestly this sort of polar opinion politics and nonsense that accompanies it has to stop at some point.

    Great point actually

    I have far more of a problem with someone assaulting a mainstream politician versus asulting a fascist or racist.
    Leo might be incompetant and an insult to your politics, but he does not directly or indirectly support or encourage violence against minorities

    ....

    Just after happening this afternoon, can see this going viral. Apparently the girl is a People Before Profit activist.

    Even other left wingers are calling this disgraceful.

    ...

    Where People before Profit are concerned I'm not surprised at all, despicable stuff and I don't support this Government at all.
    Even worse if she is from Saoradh, I suspect the Gardaí will be even more focused on this. Not a good look for Dissident Republicans/NIRA front to get so close to Tanaiste and assault him.

    Let's get the details before we go blaming FF or the Greens...

    It was bang out of order, if it was hot. Not something I condone but it's hardly a new phenomena.

    I think there is a cohort of nutjobs that spend most of their days eating up nonsense on FB instead of actually bettering themselves or making a real difference. Seems that are being fed a loop of absolute **** that is turning them bat**** insane.

    Don’t be a c*nt to someone is a good philosophy in life.

    If you do it for pathetic, attention seeking purposes- you get extra points on the c*nt scale.

    If you have a skateboard, on top of the above, you should probably be put down

    You really don't like skateboards.


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,933 ✭✭✭smurgen


    You want a prison sentence for someone throwing coffee on someone else. What if someone threw coffee over you, do you think they’d go to prison.

    I dunno a scalding cup of coffee could do serious damage. Hopefully she was apprehended.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,536 ✭✭✭HBC08


    I agree. It’s a cünty thing to do. But imagine the guffawing and absolute banter this thread would turn into if say Donald Trump or Borris got milkshaked. Just the usual double standard nonsense.

    Why do you keep talking about milkshakes?

    Just outrageous behaviour, I've hated what Leo has been doing since passing the buck to MM, but this disgraceful act is wrong. This was a deliberate act premeditated assault & I hope the book is thrown at this TROLLOP.

    Just read this thread to see that.

    Posting nonsense from twitter accounts is the virtual equivalent of coming back to your mates in the pub saying 'you'll never guess what a stranger said to me while I was in the jacks.....'. No one cares what they said.

    I think they epitomise the pathetic man-child/woman-child that society seems to be churning out more & more these days.

    Most are probably close in age to me so I feel comfortable saying it - middle class upbringing, never had a job in school or college, half arsed leaving cert, doing any degree they could get into in college just to stop themselves from having to be a grown up.

    The cohort of society who dont think they are an adult & dont really behave like one until they are 30 yet are baffled that they dont have a house or a high paying job by 30.

    The kind that will put up posts on twitter about wearing masks & put up facebook frames about nurses but have a house party with 40 people cos they have to live.

    Essentially idiotic, childish, underachieving, hypocritical goons.

    Thats what the skateboard means to me when I see a person of adult age (18 & over) with one

    Ms


    Hold on, isn’t this hilarious?? People on here though so when it was Farage etc.

    The big difference between that horrible person you mention and Leo is that Leo is a good person and knows what he is doing so did not deserve it. That other person do did deserve it because he is just a horrible nasty person and I am glad he does not get any airtime anymore. Thankfully I would just skip by a horrible person like that anyway because I am able too.

    Live long and Prosper

    Peace and long life.

    They still don't justify doing it so it's not exactly s horrifying statement. Meanwhile you actively downplayed an attack where a person ended up with stitches in their head. So your rhetoric it's coming across far worse.
