The PC and Perpetually Offended Brigade

[Ollkiller]

Ya all the awareness or campaigns or calling out won't stop a sexist or psychopath from being what they are. Now one good thing is in the last few years men are more willing to call out other men on their behaviour which is a step in the right direction. But for the likes that murdered yer one nothing would stop cunts like that.

Was there any sexual angle to the attack or was she just beaten to death for the sake of it? I wonder what the attacker's motivation was. Was it someone who knew her or an angry ex or something like that?

[open face surgery]

Read that the theory is that she didn't know her attacker.

[Eoin McLove]

So bizarre. Maybe just some mad cunt off his meds and having an episode... Hopefully they find the fucker.

[Ollkiller]

From the Irish Times they reported strangulation as the cause of death.

Interesting to see how they get on with interviewing the new person of interest they found in hospital, and why they ended up there.

Heart breaking to see the family at the vigil tonight, and reading of the dad playing banjo while Sweet Sixteen was sang (Aisling's favourite song). Powerful stuff at the best of times.

Eric Zammour convicted again for hate speech.

I wish he'd shut the fuck up about France 'protecting' Jews in World War Two (pure bullshit). Puts a stinky aftershave on everything else he says.

Yeah, without that WW2 stuff, when he said he identifies more with a certain French general (who, among other things, famously suffocated women and children in caves in Algeria) than with Algerians, despite his roots being Algerian... why, had he just not said that bullshit about Pétain and the Jews, that would have smelt positively rosy!

He's a total spa.

Well I've only heard him talking about Vichy France (french learning), but identifying with all kinds of 'generals' among others (Che Guevara, Yuri Zhukov, Franjo Tudjman, George Patton, even my own affection for the Marquis of Montrose) will leave a bang of shit off half the world!

But yeah, he's not likeable at all. Free speech etc but watch what you say in public ya clown.

According to The Capital or whatever it's french equivalent is, he has more backing than Le Pen. The French right is doing a leftish move and succumbing to internecine rivalry.

They will not win in 2022, regardless of what many Frog pundits are saying.

He's a total spa.

That won't make the headlines to any great degree  because it's chinamen abusing them, not WASPs in biker outfits.

CNN did a small piece on it more so to try and save a sinking ship then anything else. Yes I agree if that happened in a Western country it would be front page news for the next few weeks and the people in the video would be hunted down and exposed.

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

Weird that, how stories that happen in a country get more reported in that country. Why aren't RTE reporting extensively on this verbal racial abuse in China of an American basketball player who perhaps 0.5% of the Irish population have ever heard of?? And it seems to me that almost every single day I see random criminal acts that happened in France reported on in the French media but not by the BBC. Really makes you wonder, doesn't it?

[Caomhaoin]

You're overlooking the racial make-up of the shouters, which is not irrelevant.

That black lad who drove his car into and killed a load of white grannies and children, it was being reported as if the car had a mind of it's own by the American media.

If you think that all racism is equal where the media is concerned, you are either disingenuous or hopelessly naive.

But sure you know that yourself.

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

No, I just couldn't give a shit. Trying to play gotcha to mainstream media over some micro story you unearthed (even while simultaneously admitting defeat since CNN and Fox and Yahoo have actually covered it) is just pretty fucking YAWN at this point. I can't think of a single time someone on social media has posted a "YOU WON'T SEE THIS REPORTED IN THE MSM!" story where mainstream media actually hadn't reported on it.
