Robbie RTE and Leo the Gay and the other Fucktards in the Dail dismiss the Protests at their Peril .There is a Sharp point of Bigotry and hate simmering in this country .They Complain that they cannot get into the Dail to use the members bar but they dismiss the protesters as Zealots and Facists .If there was an Election tomorrow the Far Right would get 3% of the Vote similar to The Greens or Labour Party .

  The Lads in the Baggy Overalls and Sloppy Joe tea shirts and baseball caps are Pissed off with the Orangeman .He coulnt sort out a driving incident for one of his boys and the Gunmen from Blanchardstown will face the Courts or big coin will be handed over to the Victims family .If only they shot a Gay Black bloke the Taoiseach would of sorted it out by now .

You do seem to have a certain Gra fer the Black lad from Blanchardstown, I dunno why ??
He was High as a Kite and running at the Gardai with a knife, I don't think the colour of his skin had anything to do with it.

Again you are wrong No drugs were found in his body and he was not threatening the Gards ,He made his way back to his own home and was standing in the porch when the Gards gunned him down .Have you not seen the Video .iF that Video did not exist your understanding of what happened might wash but there is a Video and that is the Problem for the Gards .REASONABLE Force !

Your facts are pretty wide of the mark, to be fair, Ken.

He was running away... and only had the knife because he took it from someone who threatened him with it after he gave a poof a punch during a barney in a Spar shop in West Dublin.

Word on the street suggests 6 figures in used notes has already been handed over...

He was running away (past tense) but he ended up in the front driveway of a house.  It happened to be his house but the armed Gardai didn't know that.  Was he going to break into the house and attack the occupants?  The local community Garda knew he had mental problems and wasn't really dangerous but the armed Gardai didn't know that.

If I was to ask a question, I'd want to know why the info the local Garda had (mad but not bad) wasn't relayed to the armed Gardai.  Isn't that what the PULSE computer system was designed for?  And where was the overseeing Commander and how did s/he phrase their advice/instructions to the armed Gardai?

He got his own page on Wikipedia ?

From the Irish Times;
George Nkencho (27) was shot at least three times in his front garden by members of the Blanchardstown Armed Support Unit (ASU) while allegedly brandishing a knife and threatening gardaí.

The Irish Times reports that a 13-second mobile phone video, shot by a passerby, shows a man in a blue jumper surrounded by ASU members outside Mr Nkencho’s family house.

A gunshot can be heard before the man in blue is seen swinging his arm towards the officers. It is unclear from the footage if there is something in his hand.

Another four shots are then heard, with the man appearing to stumble before falling to the ground on the fifth shot.

I think "allegedly brandishing" is clarified somewhat with it being "uunclear from the footage if there is something in his hand". In any event there is no suggestion that he was "High as a Kite and running at the Gardai with a knife" within that article. I'm not sure where you got that from but there's another clue in the fact that the original altercation happened some distance away.

In hindsight after reviewing the news, my comments were a tad OTT, But still'n all they didn't shoot him fer no reason.
