Stopping Shell from drilling the SAC

[donvit2]

sweet earpeace

[roneythetube]

great work - keep it up! We're gonna win this thing!

[justaskthem]

The new B Specials.

[loushine01]

Fair play to that guy, a true citizen protecting his environment, great to see.

[LoriLasko]

Proud to be Irish.

[Finnbar01]

The Gards are only doing their job. Protesters are just attention seeking morons.. they don't really care about the environment just how people preceive them as do gooders.... wasters more like it.

[U4IKST8]

Doing their job? What is a Gards job description by the way? I can tell you what it's not, it's not to beat the shit out of Irish citizens just for protesting. What happened to the freedom to protest? Whether it be to stop a pipline being built or workers protesting over pay, we have a right to protest.

Can't believe you're saying that about other Irishmen trying to protect the country.

[U4IKST8]

Anyway I think, personally, they are fighting a loosing battle. Coillte is government owned, specifically "All of the shares in the company are held by the Minister for Agriculture and Food" so of course they are going to let them drill so they get some of the profits.

An Garda Siochana is a comany, so is The Irish Government and every department in it, go look it up at Dun&Bradstreet. They are all in it for profit, they may say they are there to protect/serve us but that is far from the truth.

Shell aint so much the enemy as traitorous bitchs like her

[balin123]

Fair play. Great video. Amazed to see how much stick you are getting in the comments. Wish people were more constructive with their energies. Keep up the good work!

[DrFoxtopus]

If you were a twat i suppose, it just reeks of desperation.

[bigballsno1]

or to highlight a point moron

[DrFoxtopus]

repetition is the idiots way of discussion.

[bigballsno1]

HINDERANCE!

[DrFoxtopus]

To what? Illegal drilling on protected land? It's a shame the police are in Shell's pocket and blatently turn a blind eye to illegal drilling. Maybe if they treated everyone equally people wouldn't have to do such things.

[bigballsno1]

You hippies are a fucking hinderance ..

[patsorrn]

The old tracksuit bottoms go well with that silly hat

[DrFoxtopus]

Now you see what i mean.

Thanks.

Check out the locals defend their land bit.

[DrFoxtopus]

Taxpayers money.

[patsorrn]

Nice one, i'll have to give you that one

[hazel190]

were did the gards get the nice camera

[patsorrn]

I like the way he holds that tripod

[smeejit]

Well done protestors! It is scandalous what's happening in Erris, & what's been done worldwide for oil & money. That lovely bloke who climbed the machine deserves a medal more than an athlete - how about having Environmental Olympic Awards? Endurance & patience, as well as strength & athleticism, would need be included in the scoring.

[patsorrn]

I like the idea, we could even get medals made out of vegetables

[AngryNotSoOldHippy]

Outrageous!!!  Shell Oil -- these oil companies are the world's worst terrorist corporations, aren't they? They drive the war crime atrocities that the Christian fascist Bush regime has committed against humanity, after all.

Great seeing you people opposing these god damned fucking monsters!

[DrFoxtopus]

i remove my statement, look it's gone...Fair enouhgh?

[atomicdmonk]

I've done environmental management in college and accusing people who disagree with your ideology of rape, as a professional in this field of study I find it ultimately offensive that you would make such comments while trying to claim to help his fellow man or claim to be protecting of the environment. The question of you having the qualification to form such an argument would make me, as a professional hesitant to associate with any such endeavours.

[DrFoxtopus]

Fair do's.

It does get frustrating, constantly rebuttling a myriad of stereotype infused comments that have nothing to do wit hthe subject. It seems youtube is populated with people who instead of contributing, merely go around slandering people. Although that's no different from the real world is it?

[paddymcgrathirl]

It's a bit rich calling someone illiterate when you have made no less than seven grammatical errors yourself within the space of six comments.

Calling people rapists also does not do anything positive for your cause, instead it makes your minority even more excluded and less likely to be heard by us, the 'common people'.

[DrFoxtopus]

Yeah i have some stuff. I'm trying to collate other peoples footage along with my own to get something solid put together.

I'll messae you later.

Cheers.

[northyfuck]

alright mate, have u any clips from the last protest? 9/11/07? i took down yer info there last time if u remember. cheers, good work on the drillin by the way! Séamy

[MingtheMerciless]

Its at times like this I would like to see armed police. I respect the earnestness of your views, but I despise your collective willingness to leech off the not inconsiderable taxes I paid yesterday and therefore am feeling a bit less charitable to the more sedentarily disposed special members of our society like yourselves.

[octanedotie]

Typical krusties. A health service in shambles, millions of people starving globally, plenty of East European orphanages to be improved, lots of worthy causes.. and where are they? Sitting in a camp in the Wesht playing guitar, smoking hash and holding up a legitimate development. Let me speak for the 99.9% of people who aren't from a tight knit bunch of beanie hat wearing spanners from Dublin4.. Please, get a job.

[DrFoxtopus]

I'd suggest you look to your esteemed leader bertie ahern and his pilfering corruption for the explanation of your crumbling state funding and not towards a small group of people trying to halt the destruction of a small community, ignored by the masses. I'll also point out that this gas refinery that you're defending, pays no tax to your state . So moan to them, they're the bigger spongers.

[octanedotie]

And you contribute exactly what to the state? Nits? The key phrase here is "small community, ignored by the masses", trust me, there's a reason they're being ignored. The words "non-issue" spring to mind.

[DrFoxtopus]

What the fuck do you do for the state? Buy crap, ignore your common man and date rape on saturdays?

I contribute by volunteer teaching, helping disabled people collect peat and help defend the rights of the common man ignored by their selfish, ignorant and illiterate sheep countymen. Shame on you that i have to do it.

[octanedotie]

, but I really do admire the Gardai and the authorities for having the patience to deal with such a bunch of tick infested students living in a field. I would've reached for the pepperspray and/or phoned your parents and asked them to come collect you a long time ago.

[DrFoxtopus]

Your comments have nothing to do with the issues in this film. Any more stupid comments and i'll just ban you.

[octanedotie]

So wait a second.. On the one hand, you want the Gardai to respect your rights, on the other, you want to ban me for disagreeing with your points? This, I'm told, makes me 'a rapist'. While I'm not going to get into a 'who does more for their common man' dick waving contest with someone with the intelligence and videographer skills of a transition year student on hash (am I close?)...

[DrFoxtopus]

There's a no drug policy on camp. We clearly researched the sac, and if you go onto the nwp website you can find it yourself, if you can read. I checked your site, it seems you're obsessed with car racing. How enlightening. I suppose i could make some assumptions about you and your lack of cock size, your feeble attempts to compensate with cars and unfulfilled sexual relationships.

I think you're a loser. And please don't comment until you do your research.

[V6AlfaGTV]

what idiots. gardai did very well there. Crusties are such a waste of time. I like it when they pretend they know the law and recite it to the gardai. What a joke. Why dont you post a video of all you guys smoking hash, getting locked, littering and destroying property. Just stop wasting peoples time and get a job you losers.

[DrFoxtopus]

No we didn't video the thugs. Everyone ivolved in the movement was down the pub or was on their way home.

Assumption is the mother of all fuck-ups.

Get facts, not rumour.

[erris11]

You people are great for showing all others involved in this project in bad light. Did you happen to video the thugs you brought in for your sit down protest while they were smashing up trucks and machinary belonging to local quarry owners?? I doubt it!! You people make me sick....

[lowimpakt]

good stuff.

I liked the way the garda acknowledged bigger issues than his immediate 'concerns.

[jeaarrg]

What can you expect from Shell? They are known aroiund the world for the lack of respect for people and the environment.

REMEMBER SARO WIWA!
