It’s a bs statement.

It’s a bs statement.

Why?

Nowadays nothing seems to be straight forward, Social media warriors always create a back story,

It’s a bs statement.

So you believe a screen recording of another phone with WhatsApp voice messages over the Gardaí?

The only people on social media I saw posting it were far right activists. You really believe them?

 

[Pontipine]

Why?

He was hit on the road so there’s obviously some truth in it.

@cranky No idea what you’re on about tbh.

So the Gardaí are lying in their press statement?

No. Unless you are claiming that everyone who is hit on the road must have been acting erratically?

Why would the guards lie on a press release? One that they are under zero obligation to issue in the first place?

Isn't it far more likely that you got fooled by disinformation that you read online?

No

No

So you've decided that something you read online is more reliable that a garda press office statement?

Are you actually serious?

Don’t try backing me into a corner.

I don’t need help of online comments to form an opinion.

I don’t have as much faith in Garda statements as you do. In fact I doubt many others have either.

So do me a favour, stop trying to push your opinion down my throat.
