    I couldn't watch more than 20 seconds of that, even that was enough for me to hope he got run over.

    No doubt he has a neck and spine injury now. Nice little earner in the disability allowance, especially if he needs a big council house for mobility issues.

    You have to admire people who make the effort to protest this unfair bank debt tax.


  • Registered Users Posts: 602 ✭✭✭omega666


    A few of the Dublin says No group on a day trip to Cavan no doubt.
    Group of tossers.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,280 ✭✭✭mackeire


    That dick probably would have waited for an ambulance aswel!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,204 ✭✭✭dodderangler


    Why is it when a guard is moving you along he puts his head down?
    That chap is a clown. Water charges?
    The scrote doesn't pay anything in this country by the looks of him.


  • Registered Users Posts: 246 ✭✭LandoCalrissian


    What a fcukin eejit

    These people just annoy me beyond words
    I have nothing against people protesting against water charges its just this carry on rots me.


    Proves the point that it is the people who talk the loudest usually have nothing good, informed or interesting to say - Fcukin clown!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,316 ✭✭✭✭Grayson


    I'm as much a tree hugging lefty as anyone but i think that guy deserves a baton charge just for himself.

    I hope that the social welfare use videos like this to remove his dole. the dole is there to help people who want to work not scrotes like that. Worse still his "protests" result in a garda presence which costs the state more.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 44,080 ✭✭✭✭Micky Dolenz


    At least his tracksuit was matching.

    There's quite a few Dubs living in Bailieborough these days. From what I've heard (from a Dub living in Bailieborough) the ones in the video live locally.

    i'm very much anti irish water and water charges and I say that fellow is a fool and a disgrace to the campaign.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,099 ✭✭✭BrianJD


    I love watching these videos! It's like watching America's Dumbest criminals or some show like it. What ever it is about these video protesters, they immediately make me feel better about myself even though I'm currently in hospital with Kidney Stones.

    I would have been 50 50 as to whether we should pay the water charge but every one of these videos I watch make me happy that I did just so I can feel better for doing something these gob****es think we shouldn't. I have a simple philosophy: Never take advise from a man in a tracksuit unless it's on your fitness.

    If they could just start protesting against PAYE now so I could feel a little bit happier paying that...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,380 ✭✭✭haveringchick


    That's right , call an ambulance.
    Anybody who actually needs an ambulance can just f**kin wait. We're water protesters. We can do anything we want.

    Hmmmmm I wonder who owns The Indo and has a large contract for Irish water. The Indo and the government have a clear agenda since Christmas to have any one that objects to water charges portrayed as thugs.

    I myself have huge issues with the way it has been set up and is being managed as to me it has become the epitome of what's wrong with politics and quangos in this country

    The twit in the video also shows himself to be a complete idiot. But is only there representing him self not the movement against Irish Water and water charges.

    Blaming the Irish Independent for the scumbagedness of some of the protesters is hilarious.
    These tinpot warriors have done irreparable damage to the genuine decent marchers who successfully attained concessions from the Government over charges.

    Obviously the the guy who bit the IW employee was a plant by Denis O'Brien. And even if it wasn't it's hardly newsworthy.
    :rolleyes: (I detest the rolleyes smiley but in this case it's warranted.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 805 ✭✭✭mrmorgan


    how come we didn't have protests like this when the USC came in, which you prob pay the yearly water charge in one week!!!

    Do you seriously not think it's a rather odd coincidence that the Indo is the one breaking these stories on a daily basis to discredit the entire anti water movement given the papers and GMC Sierra ownership?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,316 ✭✭✭✭Grayson


    It's also ironic the abuse they give the workers at the end. "Shows you how much brains they have. none"

    How do we know this incident wasn't related to something else? I certainly would take anything I read in the Indo with a large pinch of salt.

    Do you not think it's utter fcuking scumbaggery to bite someone? And it's certainly newsworthy.

    Because 99% of these particular protesters don't actually pay USC.
    That would require having a job.

    The one that was linked to yes.

    I'm not for one minute here defending people being scummy and preventing people going about their jobs indeed I actually agree with metering people for water usage.

    What I don't agree with is anyone who objects to Irish water is now being labeled a looney leftie.

    Are you seriously suggesting that the press only print positive stories about water protesters in case water protesters get a bad name or something!?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,094 ✭✭✭wretcheddomain


    Paul Murphy is the leader of an army of these miscreants all over the country.

    The real face of the IW "movement".

    Pathetic lowlifes who suffer an allergic reaction from participating in an honest day's work.

    Yeah that's exactly the point I'm trying to make.

    You're more worried about the fact that a newspaper is reporting news than the fact that someone bit an IW employee.

    I think the indo is a rag. I have bought/read it in over 10 years, probably longer. The story is however news worthy.

    No I'm pointing out that the fact that the man is an IW employee could be coincidental.

    Plenty of scumbags about the place involved in random acts of violence.

    I'll presume you meant to say that you "haven't" bought/read that rag in over 10 years?

    Ye want to talk about Brains, they actually put this video up as sort of promotional material for their campaign on their Baileborough against Irish water facebook page!

    They have taken it down since presumably when people pointed out how ridiculous it was.

    You presumed correctly. I was a regular on P45 when they trolled them. they're copy journalists who have more paid commentators and lifestyle journalists than actual journalists.

    But the news story in question is an actual news story. If there's evidence to suggest otherwise then stick it up here.
    These IW "protesters" travel around the country giving abuse to people. they bit someone. they stopped a woman from visiting her sick child in hospital. they've damaged state property. they called the president a midget parasite. This isn't as you said a "random act of violence". This is an organised group who are dedicated to causing trouble.
