Jump To Comment: 3 2 1in fairness to the protesters, this was a civil case. there would have been no apology or case to answer by the offending gardai, as far as i can gather. the criminal cases failed miserably despite the fact that there was a plethora of photographic evidence and a journo, tourists, and passers-by were also beaten by the police. the legal system failed, which won't come as a great surprise to many here. also, the recent riots on o'connell street would have surely worked against the protestor's in court. it would have been great if they went for it but i can see why they didn't.
we don't need the court to tell us how fucked the garda violence was that day, we've all seen the footage.
That the protestor gets some dough, but can't sue or talk about it further and the state doesn't get to assume responsibility.
It means the righteous protesters took the lure of capitalism and took some money instead of showing the world what an oppressive regime we have in ireland.
