You are totally correct.
As always.
If I always had time to search the internet like you do I'd have been able to find that info too.
I was just going by what I remembered I wasn't aware that this was an exam .
I just don't consider getting a suspended sentence punishment enough.
Since this section is about chat, answer me a question why are you repeating yourself.
First you say this
which proves your point
Then you repeat yourself with
Have you nothing new to add to this thread?
Unlike your post above you mean?

Equally strange how none of this intimidation was caught on camera by RTE or TV3 either?Interesting this was brought up. A Garda friend of mine was working that day and he said that they were subject to a high level of intimidation by the crowd.
He had guys standing almost nose to nose shouting abuse and urging him to have a go. Throwing shadow punches and kicks right in his face. The squad car he was sitting in at another time was almost toppled over by the crowd. Strangley none of this was caught on camera by the tree huggers.

I'm pretty sure the Charlie incident was at the Love Ulster parade/riot, not the Reclaim the Streets one. I'm pretty sure that I saw broadcast-quality footage of the Reclaim the Streets riot on RTE, so I assume that RTE or other professional crews were involved. It wouldn't surprise me that there was some degree of intimidation of Gardai, but I wouldn't believe any one-sided claims of widespread intimidation that was not filmed or otherwise reported in the media. And regardless, I'd expect the Gardai to respond professionally to such intimidation.I believe most of the footage that was shown on the news was tree hugger footage not from RTE or TV3. Was Charlie Bird not on the floor at that stage or was that another time?,
He would have no reason to make such a story up when he knows my attitude to such matters.
these guys should work in Mullingar,they could do with some heavies down there.

I guess we have a different definition of 'harm'. In my book, harm would include death and lifelong disablity and decreased respect for the Gardai, but I guess you have a different book.I don't think a smack of a batton across the back of the head 10 or 15 times would do these guys any harm.
I outlined what I'd expect in my earlier post, i.e. a professional response. The Gardai should use minimum force to contain the situation, and let the court system decide the punishment.What would you expect if you tried to overturn a Garda car and shouted abuse in their face. "Come a long now Sir, there's no need for that carry on"
The Gardai should use minimum force to contain the situation, and let the court system decide the punishment.
Just to be clear, do you still reckon that there was widespread intimidation of the Gardai which wasn't reported by press or broadcast media?

Who mentioned "widespread intimidation"? I was just referring to 2 incidents.
Your definition of harm is interesting. I obvioulsy don't mean death or disability but the issue of decreased respect for the Gardai, you are having a laugh. Some piece of dirt that tries to overturn a car has no respect for the Gardai in the first place.
The public reaction to various Garda scandals, particularly Donegal would suggest that most people expect the Gardai to lead by example in upholding the rule of law.It would increase my respect for the Gardia if I witnessed this piece of dirt getting what he deserved.
