  1. may i ask how this verdict come about, because anyone can easily see its dangerous driving ( did they not see what happened )

    or was it acquitted because it was the Russian embassy

  2. Closing the case on behalf of the prosecution, Lisa Dempsey BL noted that people are entitled to peacefully protest, but a “citizen can’t take the law into his own hands and break it without lawful excuse”.

    The jury disagrees

  3. Desmond Wisley felt “compelled to do something”.

    Good on him.

    I’d buy him a pint. 

  4. Good. Cause he could have killed someone who just went into embassy.

  5. >During the five-day trial which sat this week, a building contractor who repaired the gates on behalf of the Office of Public Works, said it had to be reconstructed at a cost of €13,250 following the alleged incident.

    Why is the state paying for the Embassy’s gate? It’s Russia’s property that was damaged by a private citizen so I don’t see how this is our problem.

  6. Haha this is obviously a state shithousery verdict.

    One which most of us will agree with. Will annoy the Russians.

  7. >said it had to be reconstructed at a cost of €13,250 following the alleged incident.

    Alleged? I don’t think the fact that he reversed into the gate was in question.

  8. This was just the truck reversing into its natural sphere of influence.
