Thousands of people have taken part in a rally in Dublin city center in solidarity with the Black Lives Matter movement in the United States.

People gathered at the GPO on O’Connell Street and marched to the United States Embassy in Ballsbridge protesting over the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis last week. […]

The marchers chanted “black lives matter” and called for justice for Mr. Floyd’s family.

It comes after two protests took place in Dublin yesterday — one at the US Embassy and another at the US Ambassador’s Residence in the Phoenix Park.

Similar protests have taken place around the world, including in New Zealand, Australia and the Netherlands.

In the US itself, the White House has called for “law and order” and has blamed agitators for a sixth straight night of violent protests across the country. …

The officer has been fired and arrested. He will certainly be tried.

That’s all the justice anyone needs.

Antifa has a European Arm. In fact, they have a strong presence in Germany and France.

No the communists all wanted a excuse to start.

They just used Floyds death to do so.

That is why it is spread world wide.

Antifa in the USA is a continuation of Germany’s Antifaschistische Aktion.

Have the ChiComs and Palestinians and Iranians had solidarity marches yet?

The usual milky-white sanctimonious liberal enclaves who want to get in on the hashtag action. To make themselves part of the news.

As Rush would say about liberals, “We’re good people, we care about clean water and clean air”, as if anyone isn’t. Belch!

Exactly. They’re making their big push now. It’s not just Trump they’re after, and this is going to spread to all the major industrial countries of the world. The Wuhan Flu was step one. These protests and riots are step two. Lord knows what’s next on their checklist of things to topple the capitalist world. The rest of the world better wake the hell up!

“Antifa has a European Arm.”

Sorry can’t be. According to fox news reporter Kristen Fisher this morning antifa isn’t even organized and has no real leader. No structure at all.

You belivin’ she said that? Completly irresponsible reporting

Yes, and Dublin’s known for the IRA and chock full of antisemites of different ethnicities.

Coincidence, I’m sure.

What?? Kristen should stick with reporting on space and NASA stories... Leave all the rest to real journalists. The few good ones who are still around.

I wish these outsiders would shut up about junk they don’t know squat about.

That’s what I heard her say. Also it took cnn all of a day to say the POTUS doesn’t have legal authority to designate antifa a terrorist organization. Not does he or doesn’t he...they just went straight to “he can’t do it” mode. Despicable.

Well, whenever I hear the phrase “black Irishman”, the late Philip Lynott of Thin Lizzy usually comes to mind.
