Absolutely awful, the disenfranchised people plus far right agitators combo was clearly brewing since COVID if not before. This is a harsh wake up call for sure.

Of course it was loving McGuirk's rag. Dipshit should have never been allowed on TV in the first place.

The same cousin who let us all know that not being let down the pub was tantamount to mind control is sending us tweets mentioning it was "an Algerian", gotta keep an eye on that one, we do. She's the same cousin who fell for that weird bogus story about the army mobilising in early 2020, and shared that old pic of a lidl on fire after those lads ramraided that one during the blizzard. She's VERY bad at the Internet. Pregnant wife wants to go see a movie in Cineworld tomorrow, and she's gone to town during some mad poo poo and barely got home before but I'm hoping to talk her out of it...

Further to this fella on rte said he's been informed that though the dude is an immigrant he's lived in Ireland for 20 years and is a naturalized citizen. Lots of angry far right people on social media now trying to explain how Irish passport holder doesn't mean a real citizen in the infinite no real Irishman argument

Yep. https://twitter.com/Lazare76/status/1727836772128661931 I guess because he looks like a local (and maybe even sounds like one after being here 20 years) he's considered 'one of the good ones'. Or not. I'm Northern so I've been paying more attention to the far right in England and their effects on politics. If the likes of Farage and Robinson had been nipped in the bud early the UK might not be in the position it's in now. I guess a lot of people in the Republic thought 'It could never happen here'.

Valko posted:Yep. I think the one that had been here a long time is the attacker, not the Brazilian guy. He has only been here a year. Reading through the articles about him, it also sounds like his bike (left inside the Garda cordon while he was questioned about what happened) has disappeared during the ensuing chaos. The wording was vague enough ("he doesn't know where it is, he left it inside the Garda cordon") that this may be a misinterpretation though.

I'd not been checking in with Conor McGregor recently but apparently he's made his full transition to spokesperson of the far-right in Ireland. He deleted a post yesterday calling for people on the streets after saying "We are at war" to his 10m followers.

I think last night was the perfect storm of something terrible happening, it being coopted by actual neonazis plus a lot of disenfranchised people joining in the chaos because of the proximity to the city center and the chance to blow off some anger. These last ones are young men with no prospects, living in a city that is more and more gentrified every day, with cost of living and rent shooting through the roof. On top of that, several of them have a history of petty to mid violent crimes and, having been minors during most of this history, also have a history of non criminal prosecution, emboldening them. It's a very fertile crowd to be radicalised and and even larger % would be up to set poo poo on fire and loot stores in a city that has mostly left them behind.

Gards and the government were pretty content to let poo poo slide when it was people attacking queers, and women and counter protestors and refugee tents but they really should have taken the NP trying to tear Kildare Street up as the serious wake up call that it was. They were scared then, but all then ended up doing was to block off Kildare St. every few weekends and gently caress up traffic.

As if I needed more reason to dislike that guy. National embarassment. There's a new youtuber and MMA fan who's making pretty in depth videos about the history of the sport. He's Irish too and not a fan of CMG either. Napoleon Blownapart: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bXZ4fGzYvv0 Most of his videos average about an hour in length.

I can't see how this isn't a direct consequence of Drew Harris and his policy of hands off policing the far right to avoid playing into their hands. He's let them get away with so much over the last year. Protesting libraries over gender, setting up blockades to refugee centers, and the time they set fire to homeless refugee tents. They've been emboldened by a state that gives them the soft touch while going hard on leftist activists occupying vacant homes for the homeless. And I guess the other issue is the cost of living today. I spent a short while on the dole between jobs recently and the unemployment payment does not cover any sort of life. I had my expenses cut to the bone and I was still eating through my savings just for bills and groceries. I bet it's very frustrating being unemployed, living at home or paying all your income to rent outside. Those people are easy recruits for far right ideology that promises them the foreigners are why there's no homes. Marenghi fucked around with this message at 13:02 on Nov 24, 2023 |

Yeah I used to live right next to where the stabbing happened about 10 years ago and I'm pretty sure the rent prices have gone up to 4 times what we used to pay in the meantime. For reference, that was just short of 500€ for a two rooms/1 bathroom apartment that I was sharing with another person. I would be surprised if the prices in D1 are below €1700 for a similar accommodation nowadays. poo poo's hosed.

They have been anti-landlord protests, occupying vacant buildings. the state comes down on them fast though. Garda will bring out helicopters and dozens of guards for 10 activists peacefully occupying a building that was unused for years.

Yeah, having lived in a few different countries the Garda is probably the "nicest" police force I've had experience with, but at the end of the day it is not surprising that they are deployed against people threatening the pockets of the rich, that's their role.

He's let them get away with so much over the last year. What gets me is how the far right crowd locking down Kildare st and making lynched dummies with FF/FFG faces on them wasn’t a wake up call. Like, even cynically in terms of self preservation, how do you just carry on as though it’s simply The Lads At It Again. The rest of the soft touch makes some sense when you think about where their priorities are, i.e. not with refugees or people suffering from the housing crisis, but how do you not respond to that sort of thing? Is it really just paralysis over not emboldening the far right?

From what the Garda said, there were between 100 and 200 fash at the scene; they were later joined by 300-400 locals.quote:Gardaí said it appeared news of those initial clashes spread and groups of people – including boys, older teenagers and young men – then joined the violence, quickly swelling the numbers involved. The same Garda sources said that at its height, perhaps 500 people were involved, with many of those opportunistic rioters intent on clashing with gardaí and looting shops, rather than being linked to the earlier far-right protest.

Most of these charges seem fairly small potatoes tbh - being rude or threatening to Garda, stealing stuff, the worst of it seems to be a bunch of people who were carrying knives and such. Doesn't look like there's going to be any real consequences even if people are prosecuted for them. Edit: I guess the biggest consequences are going to be for the handful of people that work corporate jobs, like there's a guy who is an accountant at a firm or another one that does engineering work for various tech companies, according to their LinkedIn. I presume someone may find themselves out of a job given how bad of a publicity being associated with these assholes is. That Italian Guy fucked around with this message at 22:13 on Nov 24, 2023 |

All that's the low-level poo poo that they actually grabbed people off the street for and requires no more evidence than "Here's the knife. Here's the defendant's fingerprints. Here's the fingerprints what we gots from the knife" and the DPP were happy to bring charges immediately. It's also probably all the people who were collared prior to poo poo actually kicking off and starting to get dangerous, or the ones too stupid to realise the crowd had dispersed later on, so the process of identifying the people who did more severe poo poo and got away in the mass is going to take a while and building those cases will be significantly more difficult. The name "Abdulwahab Salawe" popping up there makes me wonder if someone tried to head out to directly oppose the fash or did he just really not get what was going on there.
