Mr. De Rossa Attacked? The Facts Footage

[shlonger5]

dance on him

[Fuzzylurrrve]

DeRossa is my god.

[NunuQuadros]

de ross = stuttering paedophile

[IrishStorm1]

De Rosa is a traitor. You can respect your enemy, but nobody respects a traitor. They are the lowest form of scum. Hang your head in shame De Rosa. How can you sleep at night. You deserve to be flung into exile, but no human being would shelter evil fith like you. You have no human rights!!

[lisbonslayer]

KNOCK HIM TO THE GROUND??????

He should be hung for treason, why would any one with a right mind try and defend this piece of trash,, our government DECIEVE us everyday ..

WAKE UP IRELAND F.F.S

[totes32]

you should have licked the cunt and stuck him to the wall...............free state stickie bassa......labour my arse.

[drzhivagho]

Hey morons, any particular reason you don't show the video straight through, unedited?

Imbeciles.

[billymagfhloinn]

Why cut the video when you did chaps?

Why not let it play, and see if someone really did sit on him?

Something to hide?

[riastradh2]

Jarjar deRossa"Mesa vote to give moimoi emergency powers to the chancellor".Oops sorryhe justwants to vote to dismiss democracy.I wonder what process gave him a career??hmmmmm??Yeah hetotally lunges too, like a crazed animal,If you're a politician, your employers(the people)might ask you a question,if your not a scumbag you could answer.This video starts mid confrontation they had obviously asked him a few times at this point thats why it seems heated.Honest questions only scare dishonest men

[COPAorg]

This is such harassment, no need for it. There are better ways to debate people than following them on the street. WAC need to act in a bit more of a dignified manner if they want to attract people to their causes, this just turns people off. De Rossa is not exactly the enemy, so why chastise him?

[europarl]

Good one WAC!

My next vid will feature this Irish patriot... Just yesterday I checked how the 13 Irish MEPs had voted on that infamous day, 20.02.2008 - but I was not surprised to find the PES member was the only one who had the gall to vote against honouring his country's legitimte expression! It could only come from a PES MEP, surely! He didn't even have the decency to abstain.

[44cailin44]

And politicians are corrupt free?? Ahh no I'm not gona lump yee all in the one mould like you just did!

[redmtl]

The irony here is immense.

WACIreland complains about the selective editing within the Lisbon Treaty in order to make it indecipherable. Then it posts this video, which gives us no idea as to whether or not De Rossa was physically attacked; it cuts out as he goes to ground! I haven't decided on the Treaty's merits yet, but whatever did happen that night, those guys' actions do nothing to help WACI's argument.

[europarl]

@redmt1 - It's clearly obvious that De Rossa raced after one of them. All they wanted was an answer - and it was a friggin relevant question too! He voted against an amendment that asked that the EP respects the outcome of the Irish referendum. Instead of giving a reply he chased one of the WAC team. Fine politician, I say.

[mibth]

We the people have the right to hold our public servants accountable for the actions they take in our name, don't ever forget that. We have the right to hold our public servants accountable. Well done we are change don't allow the corrupt politicians, manipulate the Irish into voting away our birth rights. If the Irish vote yes on Lisbon there will no longer be such a thing as a Referendum in our Nation.

[corban16]

you should be ashamed of yourselves, picking on an old man, chasing him and sticking your cameras in his face. such cowards. while i dont agree with de rossa, i wouldn't go around doing what the cowards on that film did, fair play to de rossa for standing up for himself. you are turning into tree hugging, rebels without a cause conspiracy theorists.... sad

[BR1DOI888]

lol, and what if they were asking a nazi war criminal questions and although he would be in his late 80's or 90's, he tripepd and fell, would they still be " picking on an old man"??

[cathal100]

De Rossa stuttering lmao

[clockend63]

was it de rossa claimed that claimed to be angry about the irish people having a say in our own future. so much for democracy.

I have a horrible feeling the farmers will do a deal to suit their own selfish ends and vote yes en masse.

[44cailin44]

Oh for Gods sake! It says a lot about your exciting lives that you follow around men like that harrassing them. Waste your evenings in a pub or something like the rest of us and stop trying to create controversy!

[Gu3rr1lla]

lmao, no wonder why these politicians get away with what they do!

[BR1DOI888]

the fact that you waste your life in a pub is what is wrong with our world today, get angry and do something about real issues, or would you rather vote in something like Big Brother or Pop Idol?? Never heard of Pastor Martin Niemöller??? google his "First They came..."

[44cailin44]

Ara! Don't forget to get yourself a sense of humour on the way to the pub! I deal with plenty of issues luveen as a Garda! That's why I wouldn't be one to stirring things up in my own time. Though I guess we have different things that get to us. "Yes, I am always too hammered in a pub somewhere to get out and vote, ya know, the place I waste my life." Six hours a week max in a pub and I'm a fine example of our suffering world.

[BR1DOI888]

Def have a sense of humour about things, but the police, Government and Security Srvices are corrupt, you guys must know who the bent cops are etc, so you start by going after them, and their partners, even if it means the top men, but the apathy amongst all peoples is staggering. The cops seem only too handy with fists and weapons when it's teenagers, protesters, or people smokin pot, (although the majority of the drugs are introduced and controlled by The Gov. Go after the cops and politicians

[44cailin44]

Oh u can believe that us "wasters" -my good friends and I- have always excersised our right to vote, even if it is with the "few brain cells" we may have left over from processing reality shows (give me a break) and from our overwhelming alcohol intake.

[frogy555]

O my god. I cant belive de rossa would lie like he did ye should sue him.

[XxchanelexX]

SHOW ALL THE CLIP UNEDITED

[unblackhelicopters]

He was clearly being harrassed and chased - pushed into the street and then tripped (which your video conveniently doesn't show thanks to the back of your friend).

And where's the footage of him on the ground when you were sitting on his back?

Show the whole footage if you've nothing to hide...

[yammitor]

There is no footage of people sitting on his back after he tripped over his clod feet, if there was We Are Change would have been arrested you SIMPLETON. Did you not think of that ????

No point talking to a moron like you just keep watching TV and reading the liespapers, drink up your water, junk foods and have a happy life being told what to think. Thats what i want you to do and i know you will do it, hahaha cause you are too stupid to do anything else.

[socall01]

de rossa is a sleazy scumbag

i hope ye sue the sunday times or whatever paper it was...

[madmaxx721]

keep pushing them they well tirp them selfs right in to the jail sell

viva "we are change"

[ParapaDrifter]

what a slime-mold politicans are

[mfitzp]

and fair play to AJ for saving your ass.

[mfitzp]

You lads really have to be more careful. This isn't America you could end up getting yourself shot for getting propaganda like this in the papers.

[scrufduf]

way to go guys you show that man he wont mess with us the people he's supposed to represent.file the lawsuit.bigfish here you've caught him!

[CoolHandLuke1970]

Good on you WeAreChangeIreland! Get the truth out there!

[hubristime]

Thank you WeAreChange Ireland.

Good victory! We all know, ignore the media - the truth made it out to 10,000,000 Americans yesterday. We see it as a victory.

We're a bit slow, but we did finally hear. Post it everywhere! Thank you.

[frank222k]

Faux News, Irish-style. This parliament loser should just kiss WAC Ireland's Blarney Stone. He should be thrown in jail for assaulting an innocent journalist who just wanted a question answered. Same thing the world over with these wicked leaders fleeing the truth and public scrutiny. The truth will ultimately overcome you! Way to go, WAC Ireland!

[McClovsky]

Post all the footage, file a defamation claim against the Irish Daily Mail and file a civil lawsuit against Mr. De Rossa for assault and battery.

[DStyle86]

Disgusting slimebag piece of shit. Mainstream Media caught lying red handed! You absolutely have to file a criminal lawsuit!!

[mranderson1986]

Go for the entire footage!

[panterastang]

haha and the msm wonders why every calls them a dinosaur.....they lie, lie lie lie lie

[ralfsolo]

de rossa these NEW WORLD ORDER biatch act like a wild beast and dare to accuse you for violence ???????

[rg2027x]

"but why are the majority in the media not asking the hard questions"

Because the media is in on it. They don't represent us any more than Dick Cheny. They are not going to investigate those who own them. In an event like this where De Rosa obviously tripped on his own with no outside intervention, the media will lie, make up a story that favours govt. Thats how it works. They're certainly not going to give us truth or ask real questions of slimy elected officials who supposedly represent us

[lordvalgarX]

I sent a letter to the BBC in reference to this video and their claims... Shame on the BBC!

Sending this video and the BBC url to all of my friends here in Canada.

[aumwithy]

/watch?v=FJFwcaFs-Bs

[berlinrelic]

Well done and this was a whole differant story told by main stream medea.Truth allways wins keep up the good work Ireland.

[EchelonMonitor]

You need to upload the entire, unedited video so we can preserve it, no matter what the EU gestapo does.

[EchelonMonitor]

You need to upload the entire, unedited video so we can preserve it, no matter what the EU gestapo does.

[Wilburn451]

See what happens. Someone gives these NWO types some power and they start trying to beat up the little people like that cameraman.

What a tool.

[MythofDemocracy]

I hope that you'll be pursuing a case against him for slander and defamation of character.

[jaxen112]

dont stop ever

[DTCNT]

Well done We Are Change Ireland for posting this video, which clearly exposes the mainstream propaganda. BTW, the EU has no legal right for a parliament, thus any representative of the EU is a fraud. The sad thing is that most of the dumbed down public will believe the criminal mainstream media.

[snobiethepobie]

typical lying politician

[BloodTar]

You should have whipped his ass for touching you.

[bohemianowl]

looks like assault of a cameraman.

[fresshness2001]

Good luck in exposing the traitorous scum!

[patrickwheelhouse]

mugged lol, ya terrorist, how could you question a politician like that, poor guy having to answer a question, whats the world coming to. Sad state of affairs. The Elite love this stuff. Thanx change, keep up the fight bro's. Stay safe

[FranklinCharlton]

The people saying that De Rossa got mugged are either civil servants or braindead. They would be arrested if that was the case, I read De Rossa is not even filling a complaint. Can the posters really be that dumb?

[cailleanmc]

Mugging a pro-EU politician to make a anti-EI video?

[ciaran036]

What a disgrace! The media clearly want the Lisbon Treaty to ahead...

[joeroyjoe16]

these people are scum, they have made me inclined to vote yes when i was nudging towards no. A lot of people I have talked to feel the same. Gurriers

[htiekb02]

Why exactly are these scum??? you're another idiot

[joeroyjoe16]

the video was clearly edited. these people are not journalists, they are gurriers, the like that do more harm than good

[mossyslopes]

The rest of the footage ????

[ldrookie]

The editing of this video is def from the Peoples Rep Of China school of brodcasting. The fellas hassling PdeR look like glorified gurriers to me. I think DeRossa is a tool but no one should be intimidated like that. The people who made this video are a disgrace

[rg2027x]

We Citizens shouldn't be intimidated or tricked & deceived either, by sell-out politicians who claim to represent us.

The real disgrace is the traitor elected officials who sell us & the country out for their own self-interest and political agenda. Not good citizens who ask hard questions and demand real answers instead of political double speak BS

[mibth]

I think in a Republic it is people's right to question our politicians and hold them accountable for decisions / votes they make on our behalf. We are the one's who pay their wages. colmlgs how do you know they kicked him on the ground.

[coconutlulz]

Show the whole footage please. You have no reason to withhold the rest, unedited.

colmlqs, do you have any evidence that they kicked him? This video shows very little. He may have tripped, he may not have. If you have any evidence that he was actually assaulted, please post it for the public to see or present it to the Gardaí.

Opposing or "disrespecting" Prionsias de Rossa is hardly anti-Europe. That's like saying opposing Fianna Fáil is anti-Irish. Ridiculous.

[colmlqs]

Sorry, I never said that being anti-de rossa was being anti-europe. I said that these lunatics were anti-europe, period. I don't have any footage of the event unfortunately. The man who asked de rossa the questions is a coward, who tried to undermine me, and also the public at the meeting. If he is reading this, come out and I will debate you, you sick man. If you think you can get away with abusing somebody,you are badly mistaken. you should be ashamed of yourself, loser.

[colmlqs]

Shame on anybody who dishonours Mr De Rossa. If you are so great, then you step into the shoes of a competent and tirelessly working MEP. Oh wait sorry these people are anti-Europe. They know whats right people. Lets all join the eejits who havent got a clue about politics, or let them return to their Students Unions or their conservative parties. The cameraman in this video is a lunatic, who provoked Proinsias and then kicked him on the ground. Shame on you, coward.

[sakkurae]

rossa is traitor, eu will in the end kill every eu citizen it has. google video this: end game

[decmurray02]

Post the rest of the video guys...unless you've got something to hide..if you dont have anything to hide then show us it,let us make up our own minds..

[antiminati]

they did nothing wrong its obvious

and any a former ra man deserves a lot worse than a supposed sitting on after deciding to not respect the irish peoples right to self determination

Fuck the eu

vote no on lisbon

[pat53h]

Surely de Rossa is a bit old for the blatant thuggery that he got away with when he was in the Sticks.

[ulsterdrummer]

Post the whole video lads,what happened after he fell??Why have you cut out half of the film?? Come give us some credit here lads

[mibth]

They aren't holly wood camera men, who can have 50 angles, they were clearly recording as everything was happening very fast. Labour was the one's who went to the media saying he was jumped on and attacked, he asked them politely to stop filming and they then assaulted him.

[FranklinCharlton]

I seen the video run uncut from the start of the questioning with them using the word sir, to where De Rossa got aggressive chased after one and tripped on to the ground which is not De Rossa's version. That was all uncut video and show the news reports to be lies. Then they show the video again in slow montion. They showed you the footage both uncut and then in slow motion after. You know what you heard was a lie, get over it. The Gardai know who they are, no arrests and no case.

[bobtul]

post the whole video , cowards

[jse07]

yes please post raw video

how do we know this isnt manipulated with all your cuts and edits

RAW video or it didnt happen

[heyriggs84]

id like to see the whole un edited video if thats possible lads!

[no1rebelman]

please post the full unedited footage without text or commentary so we can judge for ourselves

[palefigment]

You don't do your case any good with this pitiful rant and partial video - other than the word "trips" it is not clear how he ended on the ground, and the decision not to show what happened afterwards seems curious

[MPidge]

Any chance you could post the full video? There were allegations made about what happened after he was on the ground. Could you post up what happens after that?

[ENJOYOURMATRIXX]

good job keep it up

[cormsvibe]

From what I can see the camera guys were harassing initially and were both confrontational.If you confronted me like that unexpectantly I would do more than take camera of you....this is paparazee style

[manann]

ah the hypocrisy cormsvibe. I bet if someone lunged at a primetime cameraman, during the course of being "harassed" by them, you'd have no problem condemning the perpetrator.

[fivespeedracer]

I don't think the conspiracy-theory nutjobs from We are Change Ireland help there case much with this video. It would be pretty easy for them to show the rest of the video if they wanted to.

[skorture1]

911 Was An Inside JOb, It's Already Been Prooven. You'r Just Affraid to Look At THe Evidence. Their's Alot o murderers Who Have not been caught, Dosn't mean they Did'nt Do It.

[eoinbrad]

What rubbish! Why don't you show the part where you decided to sit on the De Rossa...?

[fearmadra]

P.DeRossa is ex-IRA and has no shame when it comes to flipfloping with his ethics. However unless all the video is shown there will always be a question unanswered and suspicion on the filmers. As for the aggression, it is no more than Peter Cook or similar guerilla journalists. And if you did sit on him so what! Thats school boy stuff I'm sure a man who spent time in prison as a terrorist activist would be well able to handle it.

Vote No! Keep your eyes open.

[liamhan111]

why don't you show what happened after that? The full release. And why push a camera in front of a man going home after spending an evening trying to answer Qs?....not that ye let him do that. Pityful waknesr

[manann]

So, in your mind that somehow excuses his actions against the cameraman? Also, it's perfectly reasonable behaviour to restrain someone who initiates a physical attack against you. I guess you don't want to accept this is, in fact, what the MEP did.

[mango2005]

While pro-EU I will be voting no because of tax-harmonisation and the loss of the vetoes and our neutrality. Regarding the De Rossa issue, I think the video doesn't clarify what happened. I do know however that De Rossa should have answered the question. The European Parliament voted down a resolution to accept the result of the referendum in Ireland. I oppose violence, but it is not clear what exactly happened in this situation.

[Sotanta111]

Youse are pretty pitiful. It is clear from this heavilly edited video that PdrR was being impeded by a group of very aggressive young men. You then cut the video immediately before the point that de Rossa has said that he was assaulted on the ground and an attempt made to steal his briefcase. Why won't youse release the entire footage of youse attacking this man while he was lying on the ground?

[RedMilitant]

What do you mean heavily edited? - the video is continuous from the point where they approached De Rossa to the point where De Rossa assaulted the camera man and then tripped.

There is no editing, and what happened after has little relevence seeing as De Rossa initiated the physical violence.

De Rossa started being physical, he shouldnt have expected impunity from being assaulted himself.

De Rossa is clearly in the wrong, and no further footage is necessary to conclude this fact.

[RedMilitant]

De Rossa escalated the situation into a physical attack on the camera man and tried to take his camera.

He should be ashamed for his lies and spin, and being a so-called public rep., he should have known better.

Shame.

[flyingsnot]

Are you covering up anything!!! Show us all the footage or shut the f*** up.

[tomordha]

The people who put this up are idiots and should be ashamed of themselves. Put the rest of the video up, let us see what happened after it's cut. I will longer be voting No, I can't stand to think I have anything in common with people like this.

[RedMilitant]

Thats a great reason not to vote No. Well done.

[nomoreheroesanymore]

If you vote yes on that basis, you are an idiot.

That is all.

[disamjisa]

Tomordha: are you simple? Or are you just a shameless liar?

(I opt for the latter, but then again I wouldn't want to overestimate you)

[aidodang]

i will be voting no , but not because of this shite propaganda! ye have some neck to be talking about misinformation. ye are doing nothing but damage to the no campaign. put up the rest of the video

[aidodang]

yeah, show us the rest of it

[mayoman24]

Ive looked and researched the treaty and ill be voting yes. why did ye cut the end of the tape? and i heard one of ye say 'hold him down' after he fell. explain that

[4motioner]

If you listen carefully as de Rossa falls you can here one guy say "hold em down" Is it just me?

[JoesExile]

Show the full video - put it up, or shut it up! How do you expect to be taken in anyway seriously with this poorly edited footage

[degs75]

You are no better with your conveniently short clip - more spin. Show us all the footage or stay quiet.

[Humdmale]

I agree with your point that the wider media can and often do spin any story to suit their own agenda, but are you not doing exactly the same by not showing the full, unedited version of this clip. And what of the anti-EU position taken by the Mail? I'm all for an honest open debate about the core issues relating to an expanded EU, but please don't try to fool us with this crap. De Rossa was right, you do need to grow up. Concentrate on getting your message across rather than ambushing people!

[kellogsparish]

in the interest of clarity, show the rest of the clip.

by editing this clip and only showing a small portion of it, then claiming that the media spin information to an agenda is hypocritical.

if you want to be taken seriously, SHOW ALL THE VIDEO of what went on after he fell, then we, the public can make our own minds up.

[Gu3rr1lla]

It clearly shows De Rossa running after some guy for just asking a question and assaulting him! Lol who would be stupid enough to believe De Rossa got assaulted!? I thought these were vicious thugs that attacked De Rossa?! People need to wake up to reality!

[skindog1967]

Why don't you show the full clip, it looks like he was assaulted by you

[mibth]

I suppose now all politicians who chase after people and fall will claim they were assaulted. What if Bertie does not want to answer questions about the Mahon Tribunal, will he chase after the camera man, trip and say he was assaulted.

[FranklinCharlton]

This short footage proves De Rossa's version is a complete lie. His version was that he politely asked them to put the camera down, and then they jumped on him. You can see he was the one that got physical, got angry he was being filmed and chased the cameraman, then tripped and you can see no one was behind him. Obviously they are cleared by the Garda. De Rossa was intimidating and was in prison before for working with the IRA, he is a tough guy. Check wikipedia.

[irelandsjohn]

If you want to prove your innocence, put up 5 minutes of unedited raw footage instead of this tiny segment.

[chairde]

That may be a verbal attack but not of physical one. The paparazzi are more aggressive with the likes of people like Britney Spears.

[floydianworld]

Why did you cut off the footage? You should have left it running; it's hard to make out what's going on.

[unblackhelicopters]

He was clearly being harrassed and chased - pushed into the street and then tripped (which your video conveniently doesn't show thanks to the back of your friend).

And where's the footage of him on the ground when you were sitting on his back?

[itsabomberscope]

What a silly Eejit lol.
