Absolute joke to shut Mick Barry down for those comments.
People are quite happy to question the DPP when it comes to then prosecuting the Garda who chased burglars the wrong way down the motorway. But criticising them for letting a Garda off for shooting someone is off limits?
Mick Barry should be ashamed of himself
Best of luck to the PBP TDs next time one of them has a group of far right protesters outside their house and they call the guards.
Trying to have a George Flyod moment here in Ireland…. PBP are a shameful bunch of opportunists trying to bring Identity politics into this country, they are as bad as the far right for importing the American Culture wars into Ireland.
At the end of the day a man went to a home with a weapon after threatening shop staff lunged at an armed cop and got shot.
If he went into that house and stabbed someone the Gardai would have to deal with that.
It’s a horrible loss of life and the Gardais actions were questioned by the DPP. When you see a cop get brought before the courts for dangerous driving causing the deaths of criminals so the DPP have no issue bringing charges against cops who they think did wrong.
Nkencho got every chance. Every non lethal method available was used. He was killed trying to murder a Garda trying to help him and protect Nkencho’s family.
The injustice here is that a Garda and his family had this process hanging over them for over 3 years.
Not 24 hours after the state apologised to the stardust families for denying them justice, it seems that the state is again, hiding the report and it’s findings from the public eye and the family in question.
Yet all the tech bros and financiers here will automatically agree with the government without even reading the artticle.
We are fucked as a country. We deserve all the fianna fail and fine gael governmenst we get if this is our attitude towards the state covering up crimes.
There’s literally a video of him lunging at the Garda with a knife.
> He said that, after apologising to the families of the Stardust fire, the same State failure was happening again.
Jesus Christ.
This is what I hate with some left-leaning parties and people. I consider myself left on most issues but I hate this kind of rubbish being imported. This isn’t the United States. What they’re doing is dividing people with imported culture wars.
Well somebody’s parents are going to get a letter home.
>Mr Barry told the Dáil that Mr Nkencho’s family will now have to fight “a long and a hard battle for justice”.
Peak level virtual signaling.
IF he had of stabbed the Garda, would this melted Shite have a different opinion? I do wonder 🤔
PBP are utterly shameless identity politics grifters
Usual race baiting and shit stirring from PBP, they’re worse than student politicians for this kind of stuff. Dying for an American style polarised society so they are
Hazel Chu will be throwing her hat into the ring any time now no doubt, another one that loves stoking division
Mick Barry making an arse of himself
Despicable wanker
Nkencho got what he deserved. He went for a Garda with a knife. Fuck around and find out comes to mind. People Before Profit are a bunch of pandering fuckers and Mick Barry is the worst of them. He was organising a BLM protest in Cork at one stage. When the fuck is police brutality a thing in Ireland.
I feel sorry for both the guard and the family in this regard. We should never try to judge a situation we weren’t in but the guard took what he thought at the time to be appropriate action if the man had killed or injured someone people would be accusing the gardi of inaction. Horrible situation for everybody involved.
Left wing anti-police lunatic… disgraceful and disrespectful to the Garda involved. Vote him out
Mick Barry is a right cuck
Christ, he’s drawing the smartphone mafia on him with remarks like that, as if they didn’t hate him enough.
Amazing the hill that people are willing to die on when it comes to creating a racial victimhood situation in Ireland.
Nobody did anything wrong here, EXCEPT Nkencho himself.
Mental health services we know is a disgrace but sometimes you have to take out a guy whos literally trying to kill other people. Even if he wasn’t in the right frame of mind or whatever. At the point the guy is swinging a machete or whatever the system already failed and its about saving innocent lives, you can’t always safely talk the guy around, and they did try.
To bring stardust into it is gutter politics. Cunt.
I am not surprised, but I am still disgusted by people trying to make political hay out of this tragedy. Two things can be true and are not contradictory facts on their own:
1. The state failed George Nkencho and his family for not giving him the mental healthcare and support services he needed.
2. The ARU had no other option but to use lethal force in a situation that required quick thinking to minimise harm to everyone in the vicinity, including George Nkencho’s family.
We had an investigation by GSOC who delivered it to the DPP. The DPP will only bring about a case if they know they can prove it in court. I am not denying the experiences of people in Ireland who have had negative experiences with the Guards, especially the Black community, but to compare this to the murder of George Floyd is uninformed at best and inflammatory at worst. The conversation should be about how mental services or lack thereof lead to a traumatic experience and a completely avoidable death.
Mick Barry is a prick. Nkencho was brandishing a machete and the garda did a great job to ensure he stopped him. If you play stupid games you win stupid prizes.
Shame what happened to George and how his family feels after the situation but he *did* have a knife and lunge at a guard. Now do I think his family could’ve calmed him down on their own.. yeah probably but when a lad brings out a knife and is pointing it at the guards they have to defend themselves. Even then first aid was immediately attempted. It’s disengenuous to compare the situation to the stardust fire or the ACTUAL police brutality in the States
