As I understand there was earth from the holy land in the crypt, so all the notables wanted to be buried there. And one day one of the friars got all blue Peter with the corpses

Yeah.is that the capucin place?
blindboy posted this, ref the fire in michan's, and pointed out that the remains in question are pre-christian.
there is an obvious dichotomy there, if they shouldn't be shared on social media because they're human remains, what makes them special?
i've no idea whether the footage shows horseplay by archaeologists or someone having broken into the site at night, say, and interfering with a dig. given the garda involvement, i suspect it's more likely to be the latter.
The online discourse surrounding the Natasha O'Brien story by the Irish patriots is shocking and depressing.
It quickly turned from solidarity to "What about protests about foreign men who assault women?" to "I would buy Cathal Crotty a pint".
I know X/Twitter isn't exactly representative of the majority but still. Cunts.
Most people don't want to. Curiosity does existNo one learns anything really. No one wants to.
I should have qualified that I was talking specifically about those platforms, not curiosity in the worldMost people don't want to. Curiosity does exist
Mrs. egg_ pointed out to me the other day that a fella called Cillian McCarthy got beaten up (fractured eye socket) in an unprovoked attack by someone called Kyle Hayes (Clare hurler) a couple of years ago, and Kyle Hayes got a suspended sentence. No protests on behalf of poor oul Cillian.
Obvs I wouldn't post this on twitter cos all the morons would be delighted and everyone else would think I'd taken the red pill ... but I do think it kind of illuminates something about gender roles. We think a physical assault on a woman is worse than a physical assault on a man, regardless of the harm done. I'm including myself in this btw - if some randomer beat up Mrs. egg_ I'd feel like that was worse than them beating me up. One of these baked-in cultural (or biological) things I suppose
Like that he was a trained fighter?I suspect the wrinkle that it was a soldier was one of the reasons this got so much coverage.
I wouldn't bet on it. I read (or listened to maybe) a legal analysis of it where the guy was saying - if someone is not already a criminal then a conviction does an awful lot of damage to their life, even if the sentence is suspended. Actually going to jail more or less destroys you socially, and only makes sense if you're actually dangerous, and if someone has only done something violent once then it's hard to say for sure if they're actually dangerousYour man's going to jail for sure now.

Irish times reported today that a chap working for the naval service got a suspended sentence after attacking his girlfriend, and is still working.I wouldn't bet on it.

He beat a random woman until she was unconscious, that qualifies as actually dangerous. That’s life changing stuff for a victim, you don’t get the privilege of stopping your own life from being changed because you’re “of good character” or “show promise” in your job. I’m sorry but I’m not going to feel sad about someone losing their job over something like this.I wouldn't bet on it.

Men are generally bigger, stronger, and more aggressive than women. It doesn’t mean that a man attacking a man doesn’t matter but a weak man can still do a lot of damage to a woman in a way that doesn’t balance out in the man versus man stakes. By the same argument, a man beating up a child is no different from a man beating up another man really.We think a physical assault on a woman is worse than a physical assault on a man, regardless of the harm done.

Bit of everything. He's supposed to be a trusted 'officer of the state' but used state provided training to beat the woman. And the state let him walk.
