And assault, death threats, harassment, stalking, arson, criminal damage.

Collins' finances is of no relevance to the behaviour of our patriots. I'm by no means an advocate of heavy-handed policing, but more than a few of those dickheads deserved to be taken into the back of a paddywagon and battered.

I disagree. His finances are very relevant. Its the shameless opportunism of fly by night operators like Collins and many more like him that has people protesting up and down the country.

Calling for the public order unit to start hospitalising protesters unhappy with the governments railroading tactics would be totally counterproductive.

Prime time went with the usual all protesters are far right or exploited by the far right. With no examination of the policy that is driving these protests or the eye watering sums NAMA slumlords like Collins are taking from the public purse.

Collins has nothing to do with the tents in Dublin, or Newtown Mount Kennedy, or any other of a multitude of situations in which these protesters behaved like animals.

With the exception of the 2 group leaders in NMK (the English bloke and the creepy auld lad running in the election), every other protester in that documentary was unambigious about who their ire was directed at, and quite often in footage that was taken from their own livestreams.

Inexcusable.

Speaking as someone who is all in favour of heavy handed policing I say batter the Dublin knacker racists first and then give this profiteer Collins a taste of the same. Typical of this government to outsource the provision of services which they should be providing to private sector opportunists eager to fill their boots.

Are you a bit slow on the uptake or what. I'm talking about Collins as he is the owner of the property in Coolock and a number of other properties already housing refugees/asylum seekers.

You seem to be of the opinion that these ongoing protests are occurring in an isolated bubble. When you pursue an unpopular policy and remove peoples right to use the planning process to object to developments in their locality you are going to see public protest. That is inevitable and is a direct product of the current showers failed attempts to push through integration without public buy in.

Oh we all know that.

You don't want to look at the racist behaviour of the protesters, so you want to focus on another issue instead.

Not in a bubble, but nothing else that is happening to include Collins' finances, in any way excuse the behaviour depicted in the documentery.

This wasn't just protest though.

Racism is not inevitable. Nor is it excusable. If someone thinks that being angry gives them the right to call someone the N word, it's because they already think it's alright to use the N word.
