My People, My Proud Beautiful People

So...this is copied verbatim from a sad, fucked leader-following website i REFUSE to give credit to (cuz Im a copyright cowboy, there's a clue), and you can see the person writing this is HORRIFIED, but as a 2nd generation American who's family came from ireland (via the ghettos of England), let me just say WELL DONE! Keep it up Ireland and I might just forget about the decades of tearing yourselves up over the church! And away we go...

Open Season in the Emerald Isle ...4:37 pm
In Ireland, five defendants, who were charged with causing “unlawful criminal damage” to a U.S. military aircraft at Ireland’s Shannon Airport in February of 2003, have been acquitted by a jury — despite admitting that they did indeed do the damage of which they were accused.

RTE News Anchor:
The five, who were protesting against U.S. military operations in Iraq, successfully argued during their trial that they had a lawful excuse in damaging the plane. It’s estimated around two and half million dollars worth of damage was caused to the plane during the incident over 3 years ago.
Switch to voice-over from a reporter while miscellaneous footage rolls:
The five people who walked free from court today are Ciaran O’Reilly from Australia, Damian Moran from Offaly, Nuin Dunlop from the United States, Karen Fallon from Scotland, and Irish woman Deirdre Clancy.
The five anti-war protesters agree they did damage the plane, in February 2003, but argued in court they had a lawful excuse, in that they were trying to save life and property in Iraq at a time of war.
When the five entered the hangar at Shannon Airport, they brought with them an axe, hammers, wire-cutters and paint. Extensive damage was caused to the nose of the plane. The five then knelt at the plane and prayed, and offered no resistance to Gardai when arrested.
After deliberating for over four hours a jury this afternoon returned a unanimous verdict, finding the five “not guilty” of causing criminal damage to the U.S. plane.
Switch to statement being made by “anti-war protester Deirdre Clancy”:
“The jury is the conscience of the community, chosen randomly from Irish society. Today, the conscience of the Irish community has spoken.”
Skip forward over a couple of other statements by the protesters, and the reporter resumes:
This was the third time the five had gone to trial over the incident. The jury verdict today means all court proceedings are now finished. Meanwhile, in response to today’s verdict, a spokeswoman for the U.S. embassy this evening said the embassy is very disappointed with the verdict and will be discussing the implications of the case with Irish government officials when they have more information.
Ireland is not a member of N.A.T.O., and is traditionally a neutral nation. Shannon Airport has been very commonly utilized for refueling stop-overs by U.S. military aircraft on their way to points east. It is also commonly used for the same purpose by Air Force One, and U.S. diplomatic flights.
And one more note: the attack on the plane occurred, as indicated above, in February of 2003 — that is, in the month before the beginning of the war in Iraq (it started on March 20th of 2003).


------Wasnt that great? Passive -agression for a bold new world- har har. But mostly I lvoe the defeated tone, of Mr. Leader-Follower. He's just so crushed that his power structure doesnt extend across the ENTIRE globe, I bet he was kicking cans out in the parking lot. Sucker.

I think the major point is (contrary to what I said up yonder), Ireland (like most of Africa, Iceland, Netherlands, and esentially all of Asia) acts and thinks by itself without forming bullshit alliances with the intention on bullying everyone into submission. Take Rome, London and the US of A out of the picture and Ireland does just fine by itself, they dont kill each other. Just like the Indians, Africans et al. Self-satisfied white people who dont live near water (hence dont communicate or go anywhere) are usually the imperialist murderers. It's a fact, look it up.

And hey serious congrats to Ciaran O’Reilly, Damian Moran, Nuin Dunlop, Karen Fallon Scotland, and Deirdre Clancy (who I can ony hope I'm related to).
