He wishes (for x mas no doubt) "that all members finding themselves before the court be exhonerated for the Reclaim The Streets Riots. I believe these members were doing their duty and, when all facts are presented in these cases, I hope the courts conclude that these members had no alternative but to do their duty. I wish that the people would be fair. To do nothing in public order issues would equally draw criticism.' - Quoted in Current issue of Garda Review (and no I am not making this up just for kiks)

I'm only trying to wind you up.
The second "comment" has been made by a "person" who has used my name, I have made my opinion known on the issue, I am not not attempting to wind anyone up. Under IMC guidelines, I believe that I am entitled to express my point of view.
but perhaps their job would be better done when they do it within the laws agreed by our common society.
I for one do not like to see such behaviour on the streets of Dublin by paid state servants.
Nor do I like to read of child pornography on Gardaí computers.
I think and many others do that the Gardai must be cleaned up.
and the street party was one of the stimuli for that clean up.
