I’m mad nearly every day at how we have handled this. All my colleagues in the EU are bunkering down for their lockdowns and here we are asking for restaurants to be allowed stay open even longer and it appears everyone coming home from the UK for the holidays. Extremely not cool.

At least the travel ban means my flights are properly cancelled so Ryanair have to give me a refund. I'd rather be at home with my parents though...

A friend's boyfriend has been up and down from Derry constantly since October and he keeps pulling the dumbest poo poo out of his rear end to excuse it like declaring my friend is "part of his bubble" somehow so it's ok if he crosses the border after 3 weeks in Derry, travels to Dublin to meet his new roommate and then continues on to Wicklow to stay with him and his mother for a week. It's like a no-backsies but with Covid-19 Which is to saw we're doomed  (also he apparently spent the last time he was in their house listening to the new Taylor Swift on repeat out loud to the point that my friend's ma wants him to break up with him)

It's like a no-backsies but with Covid-19 Lol the friend is now running a fever, loving hell. It also turns out his Derry BF arrived at their house unprompted the week before he met up with my wife and he's bollocking on about how she's probably ok cos he thinks the incubation period is 4-5 DAYS. Just goes to show you can take all the steps you want at work and out and about and one person you do meet up with will have pulled some stupid poo poo or lied about where they've been with who and suddenly you're a close contact. It's exactly 2 weeks since his visit too, he's in full denial. I'd wring that Derry gently caress's neck too over this but he's hosed off BACK across the border to Derry for Christmas Edit: wait I get where he got 4-5 days from and... man that does NOT mean what he thinks it means, god drat Shoehead fucked around with this message at 21:29 on Dec 26, 2020 |

Speaking of thick Derry people I just saw a little anti-masker march while out to grab some groceries led by our local idiot-in-chief councillor Anne McCloskey, who resigned as deputy leader of Aontu because they don't believe the coronavirus is a global conspiracy to abort babies or whatever it is the catholic right are pushing at the minute. Got me blood boiling because they where waving around banners of the old Civil Rights movement (a black and white oak leaf). The level of complete loving obliviousness is pretty strong

I stopped looking too deep at Irish Twitter over this when I saw someone say "we only have one fatal shooting by the guards every 20 years. So this is fine." My opinion on all this was that even if George had been white, he still would have been shot dead. This wasnt a race based incident but is a policing incident. What we are seeing is a lot of pro-State media spin being used to justify this. (Some headlines referring to him as "a knife wielding thug" when as far as I am aware, he is a young man with no criminal convictions who had a psychotic episode when this went down.) I did see some tabloids (maybe the Mirror. Could have been the Star) having a more sympathetic headline talking about the families heartbreak at losing their son.

He was known to the gardai for previous assault incidents, this wasn't a first time offense. Its a tragedy when anyone gets shot, but this guy seriously assaulted a Spar employee before the gardai got there. Then was talked to by gardai for almost 2 hours. Then was tazered, pepper sprayed and eventually shot when these didn't stop him swinging his knife at them trying to kill armed officers. Its a pretty much textbook case of graduated escalation by the gardai, they did a great job all things considered given the horrifying scenario. Its absolutely insane trying to make it racial, a white guy in the same scenario would have received the exact same treatment. And its also the first black man ever shot by the gardai. Ireland is not the US or UK, we don't have a history of systemic racial discrimination. All these people on Twitter are just consuming far too much US media and thinking it applies to Ireland.

One man survives shooting at gardai, what exactly does that prove? Other than he got very lucky? Mark Hennessy was shot dead by the gardai two years ago for being armed with a knife, and being less threatening to gardai than this current chap. 8 people were shot dead by the gardai from 1990-2005[1], mostly for being less threatening to the gardai than swinging a knife at them from close range. etc If you physically threaten armed police with a deadly weapon you might not die 100% of the time, no. But odds are pretty good you will, regardless of your skin colour. [1]https://www.independent.ie/irish-news/eight-fatally-shot-by-gardai-in-past-15-years-25987128.html

Apart from Mark Hennessy I don't think the guards have killed anyone else in the last four years? There was that dude they accidentally shot in the face but he didn't die. Kind of makes it a bit weird to say "well this would have happened to anyone" when you know, it doesn't (even when that fella stole a guards gun and unloaded it into him) kustomkarkommando fucked around with this message at 00:28 on Jan 2, 2021 |

People keep bringing this up but ignoring why the guard shot him. He had kidnapped the woman and the guard thought when he found him in his car that he had her hostage and her life was in immediate danger. He opened fire to, in his mind, prevent the immediate murder of a civilian. And even that shooting there was plenty of people saying the guard had been too trigger happy.

Mark Hennessy was known to the gardai and the fancied him for other assaults afaik - he was also in the process of self harming and was shot in the shoulder and died because the bullet wound up in his torso. It is possible to disarm a knife wielding man, when you and your 15 (armed and armoured) mates are supposed to be trained to do so, with a variety of both unarmed physical techniques and non-lethal pain compliance techniques. They didn't need to kill the man.

But this guy was also known to the gardai for other assaults? Have you ever personally disarmed a deranged knife wielding man? A lot of internet superheroes here seem to be claiming its an incredibly easy, safe thing to do. When the fact he was both tazed and pepper sprayed, and neither stopped him, would suggest he wasn't quite so easy to subdue. A moving cordon was formed around the guy, negotiating and non-lethal means were tried, and only eventually, when garda lives were in danger, did it come to lethal force. The gardai are no saints and regularly make terrible mistakes, but this was done completely by the textbook. And there are videos of all of this you can watch too to see for yourselves. Do you really think the garda in question wanted to shoot to kill him? Have you any idea how problematic this is for his career, and traumatic that is for him as a person?

"Known to the Gardai" is a stupidly loaded term and is absolutely a dog whistle. Why would someone be "known" to the Gardai? Must have been because they are a rabid criminal who our poor police force can't arrest because of technicalities. Nothing to do with the fact he was mentally ill. The fact of the matter is there was zero need for any member of the Gardaí to be armed in this situation. Hell, there are barely any reasons the Gardai should be armed at all.

This will come as no shock to anyone but gently caress me the r/Ireland discussion of this poo poo is godawful. There is a desperate desire to believe that this was an unavoidable shooting and just a tragic freak accident because there's No Racism In Ireland. Any protests are just because people are Copying America, but we're not America and barely shoot any people at all so you're not allowed to complain. Like seriously poo poo like this: I think maybe people actually don't want to be like the US, which is why they are protesting the shooting of a black man by law enforcement. Oh wait, this guy is just talking about protestors being rowdy. That's the only bad thing about America. And then there's just straight up old-fashioned racism: You'll forgive me if I don't take reddit user "RetardedRon" at their word here, given their post history. I want to be clear, I have no idea if this shooting was justified or not. I haven't seen any videos or followed the case very closely. But this attitude that there is not even a chance of racism being involved, that you're crazy to even consider it, is far more worrying to me than overreacting protestors.
