The line coming down seems to be that there was a small group of protestors who were later joined by "recreational rioters," i.e. the kids who did the smashing and stealing.
Like the "work" being done in the communities by the fash organisers to groom the kids into their line of thinking is entirely unrelated.
it was borrowed from the PSNI. or were they still the RUC at the time?I vaguely remember them breaking it out to clear a protest in the phoenix park when Bush was here?
They could have borrowed it for the occasion so as not to be shown up in front of the visitors..

Yes, bunch of violent cunts at that brimming for trouble. I lived on gardiner street at the time. Went down for a mooch, kept having intimidating cunts asking me where i was from. And me with my nordie accent.it was borrowed from the PSNI. or were they still the RUC at the time?
i actually walked with that march from fitzwilliam square down as it crossed the liffey (mainly because i was buying a lens from a photojournalist friend who was covering it). it started out as a proper anticapitalist march but slowly accumulated bunches of lads who saw an opportunity for a bit of fun.
but this wouldn't have happened if twitter did not exist.
I don't think that was necessarily their fault. I have a young cousin a gard in Store St down from the country. He wasn't on duty last night, but there are a lot of people whose hearts were in their mouths watching that massive gard getting overwhelmed by scumbags on O'Connell st.Also, Guards looked like saps last night. Couldnt beat eggs.
same, but really I'd settle for him bringing back moderation and introducing accountability.That kinda stuff can and is pulled off on all social media platforms - I'd love to ban twitter just to annoy musk but on the same side of the same coin, user awareness on any platform is the loophole being exploited here.
The only positive here is that I don’t think there’ll be a massive queue at Bread 41 today. That place is amazing .
I’ve got a living room filled with college students now. I think there’s more than when I went to sleep last night. The kid sent a message out to some LGBTQ groups she’s in saying they could stay here if they were stuck.
That was all nice and lovely, but they are now between me and the kitchen.
I was talking to a cop a couple of weeks back. He was talking about some FAI game in the Aviva a while ago. I think he said 6 thousand lads ended up in a riot/fight of some sort. I couldn't believe we had that many lunatics in the country. They team up with english hooligans as well.
you know that we don't have a riot squad too, right? Those guys with the helmets and shields are lads who are out in uniform every other day, but who have done some extra training on riots. I knew one of the gards in the riot gear during the love ulster riots.I was talking to a cop a couple of weeks back. He was talking about some FAI game in the Aviva a while ago.

agreed. Its probably the only thing I miss about Dublin, but my waistline doesn't miss it too badly.The only positive here is that I don’t think there’ll be a massive queue at Bread 41 today. That place is amazing .
