'Died doing what she did best, being an idiot' is over the top.

4 dead now on site, but still only the one from shooting incidents. Dead for one man's petulant ego, what an epitaph.

This is over the top, but all the fabrications about Nkencho's character on here earlier in the week, you didn't bat an eyelid? Seriously lad...

[Caomhaoin]

What's the implication, I am a big racist and I didn't bat an eyelid because he's black?

I don't understand why you are drawing a comparison in the first place, but the sloshing around of the chemicals in your brain are at times beyond comprehension. You're a true crusader for the black man, aren't you?

I never said anything him about being an idiot, I agreed that his shooting was justified, an opinion that I'm entitled to.

Whether he was an idiot or not is not clear or relevant.

Ya, seriously lad.

DECOLONISE THE FORUM!

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

I couldn't care less you didn't bat an eyelid then, the point is that you are batting an eyelid now, over a MAGA woman who was "asking for" what she got just as much as Nkencho. MAGA supporters being called idiots must be a real trigger for you, it's a funny one compared to things that aren't.

[Caomhaoin]

What are you waffling about, I said it was over the top to say she died like what she was, an idiot. You'd swear I'd suggested beatification! I didn't defend her behaviour, but sure this is your patter.

And t'was you lecturing others about confirmation bias?

Jaysus tonight lads, putting IKEA wardrobes together is less frustrating that your mental acrobatics.

Coming from Matt, I thought "idiot" was mild tbh 

Anyway, back to the vomitous mouth of your hero:

"Even though I totally disagree with the outcome of the election, and the facts bear me out, nevertheless there will be an orderly transition on January 20th. I have always said we would continue our fight to ensure that only legal votes were counted. While this represents the end of the greatest first term in presidential history, it's only the beginning of our fight to Make America Great Again!"

I'm surprised there's still a MAGA cap big enough to fit on that head!

Pelosi says vote will go ahead later tonight. Wonder did Donald have anything up his sleeve for later.

Grassy knoll, 2 shooters would be perfect for her

Ah that's a bit over the top now

What are the rules in the Left/ Right Mongo Olympics? Is the winner the side with the highest body count or the side that racks up the highest amount of innocent victims?

Lord hear us...

People pissed off and protesting because their political system is corrupt to the core. They've had a year of their towns being burnt, their whole way of life condemned and ridicued and on top of that Covid19. Not saying they're completely right but maybe we could do with some of our lot running a little scared and jumping to attention when we demand it of them instead of feeling like they're locked away in some ivory tower making decisions that nobody has a say in anymore.

As an aside: that looks like John Schaffer from Iced Earth on the RTE website: https://www.rte.ie/brainstorm/2021/0107/1188171-us-capitol-protest-riot-attack-january-2021-trump-terrorism/

I'm amazed you're taking law enforcement's word for anything after the hoopla over the other thing.

As for Nail-Bombed, another otherwise sensible poster double dropping those Trump Mitsubishis.

Remember Mitsubishis?

THOSE WERE THE DAYS

I had a couple of Donald Trumps when they were going and they were a serious banger

I know a lad who pissed himself on those ones he came up so hard.
Proper pills!

By "our lot" I guess you're referring to Irish politicians, while ignoring that yesterday's situation in the US was precisely the opposite; citizens jumping to attention when their petulant political leader demanded it of them. Several times. And then praised them for doing it. And told them he loved them, as they violently broke laws that can incur sentences up to 20 years. "We love you." Not attacking a Target, or a corner-shop, or a Nike outlet; Capitol Hill! Totally baffled how you can look at that and say that it should be an inspiration for citizens to get powers on the run, when it was literally the highest power of the nation getting citizens on the run on his infantile behalf.

If we're defining a protest as being a peaceful act (at least relatively: marching, picketing, occupying a space without force), then what happened yesterday was NOT a protest, it was a riot. Much like opportunistic muppets looting during BLM was not considered 'protest' by most rational people. In this case, it would seem the core aim of this "protest" was to break into the Capitol building.

Secondly, as corrupt as their political system may be in many respects, in this case they're "protesting" election results which were proven to be legitimate and there's nothing to suggest otherwise... unless you're inclined to believe that fellow Republicans, senators and the courts were all in on some big plot to take Trump down undemocratically.

As I said not in complete agreement so don't get your knickers in a twist. I don't see how you distinguish the rampant violence we saw all year from this, but that's maybe a personal thing.

Politics, especially American politics, is completely bought by all those massive corporate interests you hate so much and yet people can't express their discontent? This election, above any other in history, was decided by big tech and big business. The individual has no chance once that industrial complex decides which way it wants people to vote. It was a done deal. So, maybe an oul shot fired and a bit of shouting mightn't do anyone any harm..I'm playing devil's advocate here.
