Gardai acting quite aggressively

[EstebanSexface]

There isnt enough information out there yet. Dont jump to conclusions.

Why the fourth shot though. Bang. Bang. Bang. 5/6 seconds. Bang

Wheres the mural going up? On the side of what building in Dublin?

Do you think the lad trying to kill the guards was murdered ?

[Thomas_Brady]

I said reports going around that he did… I never confirmed or denied.

[TheBird]

@Lazarus

You said he caused a lot of trouble in the area. They said George Floyd was trouble too.

Are you playing devils advocate or just being disingenuous?

[TheBird]

[Lazarus]

Were all the shots from the one gun? Seems like a lot of the guards were handling the situation very professionally. You’ll always have one or two Proud Boy tough guy wannabes knocking around though, just look at this thread

[EstebanSexface]

I dont know. There isnt enough information there to say.

The only thing that stands out from the video though is the time lapse between the 3rd and 4th shots. It just seems unusual

[feck_it]

The guards shat their shorts and killed a young man. Theyre a joke. If he was white and a dub there’d be mayham

Jesus wept.

It’s hard to tell from what I’ve seen pal. It’s a very hazy video. Jumping to conclusions would be mental

@Mac

• This Ross lad did not attack an innocent shopkeeper out of the blue
• This Ross lad did not run away from Gardai as they pursued him after the attack
• This Ross lad wielded his knife but was a distance away from Gardai. He didn’t lunge at them or attempt to attack them like the fella today did.

Without having seen any of the footage:

1 Irrelevant
2 Irrelevant
3 Could the Gardaí not have backed up a small bit?

[Thomas_Brady]

Go back to your Bob Marley vinyls like a good man.

These situations are always tough. You see a fella armed with a knife, super aggressive and he’s lunging at you slashing away with the knife. If the Guards back off and he goes back into the house or even into next door and starts stabbing everyone in there then it comes back on the Guards for letting him go.

An awful situation where everyone just wants the person to put the weapon down but they won’t.

Back up there lads and let yer man run amok with the machete ffs.

[Watchyourtoes]

The Guards should have allowed him to slash one of their throats first, fuck them not like they have families to go home to they seemingly sign their lives away upon joining.

Surely a couple of the first shots were warnings shots and it seemed from the video that the young lad then went to attack another guard with a knife which could have been fatal.

I don’t think anyone here can come to a definitive conclusion on it. Sad for the family, obviously mental health issues at play. RIP.

[glasagusban]

Question for @Watchyourtoes, would you be logging in shouting and roaring all over the internet in favour of the Gardaí shooting some guy if the victim was white?

Doubt it.

[myboyblue]

You’re not right.
