Attacks on Politicians

[supersuezy24]

I'm sat here listening to a discussion on Irish radio about an attack on the Irish minister for health Mary Harney,

She was at a ceremony of a new health centre in Dublin and a city councillor threw a tin of red paint over the minister.

A lot of people are condemning the city councillor who done this to the minister while others are praising her for standing up against all the broken promises which this minister had initially promised.

I have heard of British politicians been attacked in similar ways with eggs etc.

Do you think these protesters have a point or do you think they should resort to other means to get their points across??

I know i have said I do not condone violence against the politicians etc however I can see what frustrations must have led the woman to this form of action.
I think the Irish people feel that the government do not want to listen to them no care about their opinions

To be honest I think people are afraid of standing up speaking out to a certain extent, like this is a government who jailed two men who left cardboard boxes behind in a recycling centre in Ashbourne, i think the goverment needs to get a firm grasp on reality and get some perspective!
