The PC and Perpetually Offended Brigade

[boozegeune]

Horrible that the guy is still out and about. Kept thinking about the woman's pupils in the school too. They are old enough to know that she didn't just die, she was killed by someone an hour after school just down the road, for no reason, because this just happens from time to time, and he's still out there. Must be terrifying for them.

Haven't seen any media call all men evil bastards, but some people are just desperate to be martyrs I suppose.

I only read the independent this morning and there was none of that, just the men need to step up to the plate shtick which I suppose is harmless enough, even though it's a fools labour.

Yeah the young lads, what must go through their heads. My young lad is a bit older than that even  and sure he wouldn't comprehend it all let alone 6 year olds.

I listened to newtalk, read Twitter and read it on my own Facebook feed. The gist is "men" need to do better.

Nothing to do with being a martyr you clown.

You're still making this entire story all about your relatively petty grievance. Not very masculine.

It took you long enough to show up. I'm not the only one who is fed up of  the "man do something bad therefore All Men need to do better" crap. The usual groups including idiots like yourself use it as a stick to beat with.

Btw how is the original suspect who got his face plastered  everywhere. Wonder if hes still getting death threats.

Ya, I heard the same on Newstalk. Elena Bacic at least came on saying things like more CCTV is required in places and yer wan presenting was vocally surprised she went with that angle rather than the Men need to do better line. Loads of comments on the Journal are very much in the vein of the latter too. It all rings fairly hollow to me.

Sure who cares.

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

Oh, you must have missed my first reply Blackout. Can't be having that:

Seems like it's just you who's saying that chief

Listen to the media chief.

Oh, poor you Blackout, poor, poor you. Let's all stop thinking about the tragic murder of an innocent youth and set our attention where it's needed: Blackout's fragile ego.

Maybe they shouldn't be, but some women live in more or less constant fear, when out alone, of assault. It's only natural, in the wake of an attack like this, that those fears will burst through the surface. What are you afraid of Blackout? Being called a bastard because you're a man? Poor you. Poor, poor you.

And we all care about the man who was falsely accused: that's why we jumped on KC's putrid instrumentalization before it even turned out that it wasn't that guy.

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

If you think that, on the whole and justifiably, women don't live in more fear of physical attack when out alone than men, you're living in a persecution fantasy land with zero understanding of women. Try having a real conversation with one some time.

[Snare]

Why people are getting so defensive about man-blaming is beyond me. So what if people or commentators blame men? Big fucking deal. It seems non-PC people would rather be part of the perpetually offended brigade.

Also mad that right leaning people complaining about trial by media before were the first to jump on a foreign national SUSPECT!   :

Anyway I hope the Gardaí haven't lost valuable time by zoning in on "their man" the first evening, when the culprit may have been able to make the most of the free time. 

[open face surgery]

Ya, it seems like a very Irish investigation so far.

But, for the sake of saying it, the dude that was questioned is a foreign national with 50 convictions and on bail for an assault on a woman, if I'm not mistaken. In the bin with that cunt anyway.

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

Wouldn't believe any of it without solid, solid, hard proof, not after George Nkencho and the nice list he had invented for him by cunts. What was it again? Over 10,000 previous charges for violent behavior, including 390 for dismembering women with a machete?

[Caomhaoin]

I could understand people thinking it was game, set and match given yer man's record, it's human nature. Sounded like a cartoon villain with the 'he chose to sleep' bit in the independent.

Sticks in me craw a bit to say it, but Chris is absolutely correct about their being no comparison for a woman being out alone. I hate feminism and white knighting and all that shite, but even the bollocks women put up with verbally from fuckin' eejits on the street is terrifying to a lone woman.

Writing dumb, obvious shit in opinion sections of newspapers will do nothing, nothing at all, though.

[open face surgery]

Granted that there is no proof to the claims made against your man. I'm usually not as reactionary.

Ya, I don't think any of this will stop a mouthy, sexist prick being just that or a bad cunt being the same so in that regard it does seem like people are shouting into emptiness, but I have no incline towards an alternative solution.
