White car 96 CE 1367
seemed extremely aggressive to everyone. I was on the other side of the road when it happend. When I did go over, he was leaning out of his car giving quite a bit of abuse to protestors, especially a few that were masked. (which wasnt the smartest thing to do) The police saw that he was being overly aggressive and firmly insisted that he get back into his car.
The rest is a blur. Sorry
i hav the whole thing on tape!!! in fact i handed the camera to a mate and he was holding it while he got hit by the car too!!!
so it gets all muffled! but u can see the bonnet of the car slam in to him!
yeah i saw the whole thing. he was gettin fairly aggressive especially when half the BB's fell onto the bonnet after he drove into them. for a chap that was going to a funeral he was fairly casually dressed... plus i saw him up at lidl about 2 hours later, sprogs in tow. who incidentally also didnt look like they were going to a funeral...
if soeone deliberately drives into a crowd, it should be dangerous driving. the gardai obviously are not going to do anything. someone will have to make a formal complaint.
this could take 3 forms:
1. one of those who were struck by the car complains. they are in the best position to go to cops,press charges and even seek civil damages. post stress trauma etc.
2. those who have the photo evidence make a complaint to cops and lodge evidence.
3. make a complaint to garda complaints tribunal. the cops were in dereliction of their duty for not taking action against the psycho.
ed, do you plan to upload that vid piece to indymedia, if you are not sure how and would like to, let me know
im looking foreward to seeing it again
i will be contacting the garda mentioned above later today. waiting for further legal advice
was anyone else hurt, did anyone else make a complaint to the gardai?

on Monday's Star -there's a photo of yer man from a different angle.
Also, Radio Kerry rang me and Dubsky for interviews and they brought this incident up on air.
I explained that the demo guidleines would allow vehicles through for emergencies, and that if someone needed to get through for something, fire, ambulance or funeral all they need do is ask in a calm manner. I explained that this guy did not ask, but simply drove at people, without regard for creating 10 more funerals.
Not sure why he was waved through, we can't even be sure if he was going to a funeral or not, maybe he just doesn't like peace activists, but he sure needs to learn how to behave in public.
He's obviously some kind of pro war pro FF type. Maybe people should find out were he lives and have a few 'word' with him in the local dark alley
Also i intend to make an official complaint against a garda who was trying to move me from the roundabout where we sat.
He attempted to move me by the hair. while a buddy of mine was there and witness the whole thing more witness's can only help. let me state at this stage i expect absolutely no joy on this issue but i think all incidences of this nature should be reported. Not had a chance to seek legal advice yet (I'm a working hippy) so dont want to jepordise any possible statements by providing too much info. I have his number and would recognise him again (he was massive)
Oh and thats a million who shouted at the gaurd involved and persued him to let me go......Sound!! and fair play to everyone who travelled
My e-mail adress, sorry

Compare and contrast the following two examples.
(a) Peace activist Eoin Rice missed the demo because of alleged dangerous driving in an otherwise empty carpark. Nobody is hurt and no property is damaged other than the BlackPopeMobile which has it's window smashed by Gardai.
He is held for 12 hours and charged with an offence.
(b) an unknown man tries to drive a car over/through a crowd of people. He is not formally cautioned even though some people are injured.
Please keep your answer to less than 1000 words explaining why (a) and (b) are not signs of double standards and/or deliberate garda targetting of prominent activists.
The best entry will win a job as a FF spin doctor.
anyone hear anything further
