Dublin Riots Video Footage again
The original two videos we embedded have been removed from YouTube. Indymedia have a 13 minute clip up now and it’s been put on YouTube as well:
And they have really in depth analysis of the riots at a related article here. You can also download a just under 100 meg avi of it here.
A Dublin Riots search on YouTube is probably the best way to find more footage as quite a few of the clips seem to be popping up and down off the web as the days roll on.
And for more blog reaction, IrishBlogs.ie have added the capability to order search by date, so a Dublin Riots search reveals all the latest banter.

Yay, Lara Croft in Ireland!
Feshti's back and this time he's counting down the top 10 movie opening scenes of all time.
Is American opinion and culture crowding out all others?
Utter fucking scumbags, the lot of them.

What are we supposed to do with this type of people I wonder… Can’t round them all up and kill them, can’t sterilize them or lock them all up, or paralyse them or blind them… It’s a mystery

Spike island… dump them all there and they can riot amongst themselves. Last man standing wins a 1994 honda civic with massive wing and wavin pipe exhaust.

In the home counties the Police are better equipped for such brutish behaviour. They all carry a pocket full of brightly coloured beads or marbles. In the event of a riot, these should be thrown pell mell in a direction opposite to the officer. The average riot member will be thrown into momentary confusion ( as he is geneitcally programmed to respond to bright lights, sudden movements and the sight of larger) and will either stand dumbstruck or chase after thses glinting objects. Thus an arrest can be made while the villan is preoccupied.

I never thought i’d say this but I wish the police had big fuckin guns. I think we’d all be better off. All those scum burning cars and breaking windows need to get a fuckin life. Lets ship them all over to Iraq.

I don’t think violence will solve anything which is a cliche I know but its a cliche for a reason. Everybody needs to change their attitude. The best thing to do is to “be the change you wish to see in the world” (Dalai Lama). It rubs off on others slowly but surely and really does work!

just knackers, drunks and kids looking for an excuse to throw bricks. i wish the north would go away

it would be interesting if everyone just left dublin when they marched their tellytubby march. that way, there’d be no tax payers money wasted on security. no innocent people injured. and if people want to go along and throw bricks and bleed and be silly and child like and sick and stupid, fair enough. let them all play their kiddy games. fuck ‘em. of course, theyd have free reign to topple cars and smash everything…but with the Tycoon sick fuck insurance companies in ireland, charging forty trillion euro for fuck all,no one actually looses out.
then when the fighting ends, we come home and have a cup of tea.
basically the marchers and protesters are twiddly children, best left to fuck themselves up while we have a nice stroll in the mountains.

The gardai had it a long time coming when they got stoned, they think they can push people around just because they’re in authority, no people skills whatsoever!

The riots were in essence a politically motivated event that was hijacked by the delinquent element of dublin youth. the cynacism shown in most of the posts betrays a lack of understanding of human mob behaviour. In the right circumstances we will all become oppurtunistic looters. once it was clear that the Gardai had lost control all of the base aggressive and selfish mob elements of people came out.
we can joke about this as much as we want but this is a human reaction to a set of circumstances and anyone who believes that they are above such horrible acts needs only to look at Napoleaons invasion of Russian in 1812, looting and canabalism became the status quo after the army began to fall apart. Depending on the circumstances anyone can be a rioter. this does and not, I want to make this clear, excuse in any way what these people did on that day. The fact that we are all capable does not mean that we should react in such a way to a expression of democracy (in the guise of a march of an organisation from the North). Ireland failed a test on this day, the test of our ability to be accepted as a modern, mature nation. there are those among us, who at the drop of a hat will become violent. food for thought I think you’ll all agree.

thats strange, dublin rioter. you,like the rest of us, are most likely people who went out murdering other people in a colonial/survival type way. we are all descended from this type of lineage, whether we like it or not. next time you go rioting, throwing bricks at fathers, putting broken bottles into mothers faces…what will you be thinking, I wonder? does the look on a childs face when she realises mummy is in intensive care turn you on? ‘feck off and live in england’. why dont YOU fuck off, grow up and realise you are only feeding the cycles of violence? i challenge you to give me a rational response, but your probably 2 busy listening to mummy and daddy spoon feeding you hate (:

Obviously,theres never an excuse for violence.
Its very sad to see this behaviour.
Nothing political here only an excuse for people to act like scum bags and make nob ends of themselves.
Regardless,
What the fuck were those jaffa bastards thinking? Dont they understand what the G.P.O represents? Should be called the fucking brown order or the shit squad because there all so full of fucking crap.
FUCK OFF back to your United Kingdom of Bollocks & Wank-ology….
People we have to think of the future but lets never forget what the Brits did to our four green fields for 800 years….
