Of course this is something that Ross Lahive neglected to share in his narrative on yesterday events in Cork. He grabs the Lord Mayor’s chain of office in what could be seen as an attempt to steal it. A picture paints a thousand words.

Can someone ELI5 what the context is here?
Stop giving these muppets oxygen
Christ, the (continuing) state of North Main Street! It shames our city, and that’s saying something.
(bravo to Kieran McCarthy. Well handled!)
Ross, it’s not the WWE championship belt. You don’t become the mayor if you steal it!
CorkBeo has the video. Ross Lahive is a twat and Kieran MacCarthy knows it.

I’ve seen the original and its plain that the Lord mayor raises his arm before anything else happens, the Corkbeo video conveniently cuts before this exact moment too, very odd.
Im all for getting the story straight, when we start seeing out of context stills and edited videos its time to get skeptical.
I clipped the original vid, the Mayor clearly hits/grabs him

Is this Lahive guy a full-on fascist or just another transphobic prick (I know there’s a significant overlap, but they’re aren’t mutual)? Has he had any history of bigotry/ignorance before the library incident?
