 Ring Leader of Dublin Riots! Do you know who this man is? This man, known only as "Big Jim", was blatantly encouraging rioters to destroy our fair city last saturday holding his hands aloft and proclaiming "The great are only great because we are on our knees, Arise!". |

He can't be one of the rioters, he's not wearing a Celtic jersey.
I spotted this suspect earlier in the day before he put on his disguise
spotted earlier
i tink its despicable the way this william martin murphy character published d picture of dat fella on d plinth without even blurring out his face. in all likelihood, he was only getting outta d way an' now 'e's gonna get nicked!!!! ya big eejit yeh!
cool pic.ver' gut!Ja.
I think I am owed five seconds of my life, where can i collect them.
wasnt this dangerous individual Larkin sporting a terrorist balaclava not too long ago ?
No coincidence , nay , tis a sure sign. I say get Jim Cusack and his "sources" onto this one . ( he has sources..y'know , and theyre amazing )
Another scoop for Indymedia .
no. you are thinking of his even more dangerous associate james connolly. i believe he was also involved in some disturbances in o'connell street. the papers of his day condemned him as did a lot of the "left" calling his actions sectarian. there was even some opportunistic looting during those disturbances as well.
Finally,
A bit of veracity in this appalling gig. That tall scumbag, that yob, that knacker, with deficient DNA and the left lobe slightly retarded, who pretends he supports Keano's team when he is in fact a Rangers supporter [he has Glaswegian friends], has been seen by some of our members cavorting with SWP, SP, LPYouth and SF trolls. Nothing more needs to be said.
Well done lads. Signs of the ripening of time as JC (elsewhere known as Conn) would have commented.
One key question remains: How come this rogue's intentions came as such a surprise to us all, to the Guards, to the Indo, to Myers, to the Village and our very own Ch? After all that publicity of his exploits in France, in the UK, in Colombia and Venezuela and quite often in Palestine? One thing is sure - this fb does travel!! Who pays for him and what papers does he carry? We must examine this issue more perceptively soon. Any suggestions?
Yes Pat . Cant believe I got that one mixed up . It was ehh..my ..eerrr .. my sources told me !!..( slinks off to apply for job as Indo security correspondent)

This fella 'Big Jim' is known for his anti-police and anti-Irish views. Some years ago he was jailed in New York. In NYC law and order is largely upheld by brave Irishmen. But Big Jim insulted them by saying that when St.Patrick drove the snakes out of Ireland they came to NYC and joined the police force.
On behalf of the proletariat of Belfield I wish to condemn this scoundrel Larkin. His riots which disrupted the City in 1913 were the actions of a few hooligans.
Far worse though was the Green Sectarian riots caused by James Connolly in 1916. This notorius Nationalist divided the Working Class by his Anti Protestant actions. The usual lumpen suspects were out looting in 1916 just as their grandchildren were in 2006.
Funny how HMSP never polls very well in Inner City areas. Whatever are we doing wrong?
It is hard to get a job in the indo. You might just have a chance if you had any relations in the Blueshirts.
Not too sure what Larkin would have made of the fascist chav riots, or Connolly for that matter.
But I can safely say Pearse would definitely have approved.
All those fine manly lads getting hot and manly together.
He\\\\\\\'d have loved to cherish them all equally.
Their friends on the street could have told them there was gonna be trouble!
I av'nt ad such a laugh n ages, pissd me self, LMAO....:-)
Apparently the suspect WAS questioned at length, and responded to all questioning with a stony silence. The interrogation was held in situ, on three small step ladders, by Gardai posing as Dublin Council workers, as the suspect refused to budge. Gardai were forced to cease interrogating the suspect, as they were unable to identify him, or understand why he wouldn't come down to the station, and kept getting asked for directions from obese American tourerists. Reports from unconfirmed sources say that the suspect muttered "this is my plinth, and I'm sticking to it", but Gardai will neither confirm or deny these allegations. They are keeping a close watch on his movements.
