I assume the rioting is related to the lockdown?
Just saying that Freedom of movement and assembly is also a human right ...
Rioting and looting obviously doesn't fall under that category. Same with the BLM "protests" last year.Care to comment on today’s freedom of assembly?
Yes but when I watched the videos from the US etc it looked as well like more looting and rioting than protesting.There’s a big difference between protesting against a(mother) murder and protesting against public health measures.
Garda Commissioner Drew Harris has clarified inaccuracy in his remarks.
I'm no fan of the far right, they are a bunch of dangerous crazies, but why the hysteria about them when we already have a large contingent of an equally "far" left? How is the looneys and former(?) terrorists in our Parliament any less ideologically dangerous than the nutters who were out protesting at the weekend?
I appreciate that RTE have a strongly left-wing bias and are very fond of tabloid sensationalism but why are only one group of extremists dangerous, especially when one group has form murdering people?
They are looking to subvert it from the outside. The former terrorists are already on the inside. They can just subvert it from there.So to answer your question, they are more dangerous than the "former terrorists in our Parliament" because they are looking to subvert the Parliament.
Our army is tiny and not trained fir that sort of thing. It’s also totally inappropriate for a civilian government to deploy the army for crowd control.I find myself asking when gatherings where there is known potential for rioting and violence “where are the army”? Why aren’t they there as back up to the gardai? It’s a genuine question. no army bashing intended.
