Protests are taking place in the village of Clonee, outside Dublin, Republic Of Ireland, after armed gardai, yesterday, Wednesday 30, shot and killed a black man, George Nkencho, aged 27.

A spokesman for the garda said, “At approximately 12.15pm, today, December 30, 2020, Gardaí responded to reports of a public order incident involving a male, in his late twenties, armed with a knife at Hartstown Shopping Centre. During an incident at the EuroSpar business premises in Hartstown Shopping Centre, a male staff member received facial injuries. Subsequently, a second public order incident was reported at the Post Office in the Hartstown Shopping Centre”.

It continued, “Uniform, unarmed Gardai responded to the scene and observed a male continue to threaten members of the public and Gardai with the knife. Gardai followed the male on foot and in vehicles from the Hartstown Shopping Centre towards Manorsfields Drive, Dublin 15. During this period Gardai were engaging with the male and encouraging him to drop the weapon”.

At approximately 12.35pm a member of the Armed Support Unit discharged a number of shots from his official firearm shooting the male. The male was treated at the scene by Garda Armed Support Unit paramedics and Dublin Fire Brigade paramedics and transferred to Connolly Hospital Blanchardstown. The male was pronounced dead at Connolly Memorial Hospital”.

      These fools are in the wrong country. This is Ireland, not England. Our ancestors did nothing to theirs, and we have no reason to feel sorry for them or give them special treatment. In all its thousands of years, Ireland has only been involved in conflicts with foreigners who came to our island and did us harm. Now here comes another foreigner, who thinks he can do the same and get away with it because our skin is as pale as that of some other foreigners who did his ancestors harm. Not gonna happen. The guards were right to shoot him. Any foreigners who think this was not justified share his demented–and racist–view that we should give them special treatment. Preferential treatment, much like the English got while they were treating the Irish as second class citizens in their own country. That will never happen again! The guards would be right to deport the lot of them, too. But which politician will have enough patriotism to put the Irish first in the face of the inevitable SJW outrage?
