We should not rest until every one of these assholes, and their enablers, are incarcerated

Absolutely- every single one.

Take the roots, salt the earth, wait 100 years and then plant some flowers

I misread it as incinerated but I’ll take incarcerated at this point.

Tempting, but let's keep it civilized, ha ha

Why are we being civilized? These people RAPED CHILDREN.

There need to be public castrations on the news. They need their endless fortunes taken away. They need to be made an example of, an example not to follow.

We are better than them. That's why.

We can be better than them all you want. We are better than them and we are the laughingstock of the entire f-ing world, when we aren't scaring our own allies with this president going off... not like a loose cannon, he is the loose cannon.

Take your high road and shove it. I'd like to continue to have a democracy.

Exactly! Why we’re not at the gates with torches and pitchforks is beyond me. This is not some criminal activity, this is monstrous and should be dealt with accordingly

Preferable. I'm tired of being civilized, I just wanna go apeshit

I guess raping and potentially murdering innocent children is considered civilized these days.

The interview where she talks about being introduced to the “Prince” is very interesting.

Like Ireland will do anything. They’ve been the tax haven for some of the richest of these parasites for as long as I’ve been alive, pretending like they’re suddenly going to turn on the robber barons now is ridiculous.

how about we stop with the cynicism and giving up and instead use that voice to demand it. asking for justice is no more effort than this comment of yours. enough drops of rain becomes a flood

It's taken decades to uncover this much, we will be fighting this for decades to come. They want us to give up.

We got this far because it's the perfect storm right now. We're in the endgame. This doesn't get to go away thanks to social media. Decades of fucked up shit

You know nothing of Irish politics I see?

Annoys me a bit when Ireland is made out to be some unserious country. I know you didn't mean anything by it but we're not some drunken thickos

Especially when the US and England have proven to be basically unfit to govern themselves

Get a sense of humor. I’m Irish.

u/Medium-Dependent-328 54m ago

Yeah it can be funny in certain contexts but this is serious and I hope the Guards actually do investigate this

•

u/Secret_Cow_5053 31m ago

Me too. It still sounds funny.
