Car drives through crowd in Dundalk Graveyard

Saw this mentioned on Sky News Earlier. Part of the 'Breaking News' message.

Mod noteMoved from After Hours to Current affairs please follow guidelines.

Affording the likes of these people a protected "ethnic" status is one of the biggest mistakes of recent times.

The irony that our government expects immigrants to integrate and adapt to Irish mores whilst affording rampant criminality a protected status in law, that means even outlining a factual and detailed report of their behaviour amounts to discrimination or hate speech in the eyes of many and of Pavee Point in particular is ridiculous!

It's a perverse interpretation of separate but equal, I would bet that the relevant community groups will roll out the usual suspects to explain how this is actually the fault of the settled people.

I see The Daily Mail have Tweeted wanting to use the video on their site

If the people that have been hurt in this mindless act are not related to a TD or a Judge then there will be no justice .
I predict a suspended sentence maybe.

I think we should give our Garda Force the Funds / backup / everything they need to bring this lawless culture under control .

I do think they are trying to do this on a CAB basis.

But sadly on the ground at hatches matches and dispatches it is not working yet.

Fists, slashhooks and mayhem is their version of enjoying themselves.

Why?
What difference does it make?

Because calling out the behaviour of the majority of travelers for the reprehensible, tribal scumbaggery it is becomes discrimanatory, rather than factual.

It's actually explained in the post you selectively quoted if you'd care to go back and read it.

If you have a question regarding the totality of what I wrote, I'd be happy to address it.

I think we are far too tolerant. Really afraid to say anything lest it offends anyone.

They rely on that.

It's almost like the camera phone holder was expecting the car, or something, to kick off.

Like who ever videos stuff in a graveyard?

Yet again, annoyingly, in portrait...

Blessing of the graves is no different to anything else. Cameras are everywhere.

Giving them ethnic status makes absolutely no difference to anything.
They are still subject to the laws of the land, as is everyone that lives here.

Given ethnic status to a group grants additional protection in law from discrimination.
It also gives credence to efforts by Pavee Point and others to campaign for their efforts to legitimise the traveller community's continued effort to resist "integration".

Do you see the problem with that?
It allows a group of people for whom criminality is unfortunately more the norm than not, to exclude themselves from society and be granted dispensation for it.

This is a practice that is continuing, where Irish people are excluding themselves from society, in efforts supported by government funded bodies!

All whilst the Government is clamouring for greater integration of our immigrant and religious communities.

That "Traveller" is recognised in Irish law as a legitimate grounds for discrimination has afforded the efforts of Pavee Point a win.
A win that is baseless, there is no ethnicity involved other than parochialism.
There is no culture other than backwards, that we afford their "culture" specific protection in addition to that afforded to colour, creed, race, marital status, sexuality, gender, age or family status is an absurdity!

There is no other "ethnicity" that warrants a specific protection, and any discrimination levied against a person can quite legitimately be dealt with by resort to the other grounds.

That Pavee Point and co managed to have that status enshrined in law, has cost many a business a significant sum and all too easily affords an easy veneer of immediate recourse to racism when any traveller is challenged on their behaviours.

I think you are deluded WRT to this ethnic status

That very Status allows sulky racing on main roads. The poor animals are not looked after and are a danger to motorists too

And that is but one example of their contempt for society.

According to GOD this is an attack on Christians , jesus she's some tool.

But sure aren't the Christians being attacked by "Super" Christians tho?
Surely it's a 1st blow by the right wing theocracy she wants, getting rid of the vanilla Christians?

I think you will find that it was against the law to discriminate against travellers long before they had ethnic status. It was already the law. Giving them ethnic status made absolutely no difference whatsoever.
You cannot discriminate against them because they are travellers, they are however subject to the same laws and everybody else in the country

I don't know if you are being deliberately obtuse?
Or just have a bee in your about anyone impugning the ethnic status and additional latitude afforded Travellers?

But it seems that you quite deliberately miss the points raised.

If as on your words

Surely you'd have no objection to deletion of the Travellers status from the relevant acts? And relying on the other 8 grounds to ensure protection of people's status and rights?
As according to your logic it's pointless anyway?
So in that case why do you think Pavee Point and their apologists lobbied so hard to have it included?
