@cpbyrne @KeithMillsD7 @ZzVvbbbbn I don't think there's a Connolly Bridge? Or do you mean the rail viaduct? I don't think that it's the official name.

@KeithMillsD7 @ZzVvbbbbn Or went under or over Connolly Bridge or visited Connolly Hospital, shall we continue.

It's a disgrace that nothing major in Dublin is named after James Connolly.
NewstalkFM@NewstalkFM
Sinn Féin has said Government dithering is stopping Dublin City Council renaming streets after Irish rebel heroes like James Connolly. newstalk.com/news/sinn-fein…
English
@bubbathea @MusketPower Yeah, people are pushing their narratives using this incident, even though it was an accident. Shit happens. There was a white guy who died in similar circumstances in December and nobody was saying anything violence against white people.
English
@DivineShadow33 @MusketPower ppl replying to this calling him irish george floyd IS a race thing though cause it’s not out of good faith
English
and ppl will try and tell me ireland isn’t racist. i lived there for 18 years i think id know 😭

5 men used all their body weight to restraint one black man. As he was faced down, one continuously pressed his knee on his neck until he stopped breathing. Happened in Dublin, Ireland. They’re under every post laughing and calling it the Irish George Floyd. Rest in Peace Yves Sakila.
English
@bubbathea @MusketPower Yep, clearly things went wrong there. But it's still not a race thing ;)
English
@DivineShadow33 @MusketPower it shouldn’t have been a consequence though. those security guards clearly untrained to carry that sort of restraining move yet tried it and now he’s dead
English
@wethepeopleeire I don't necessarily agree. It depends on the setting. In the US, for example, particularly in the south, systemic racism is definitely a thing. But in Ireland - not at all.
English
@DivineShadow33 Systemic racism is primarily visual, first impression stuff. If it was real, then no white person would have suffered the same fate as the Arnott’s Pilferer.
English
Systemic racism killed this black man
TheJournal.ie@thejournal_ie
A man who died shortly after he was restrained following an incident outside a pub in Dublin’s Temple Bar at Christmas last year suffered fatal compression of his neck while face down on the ground, an inquest has heard jrnl.ie/7045341
English
@wethepeopleeire Yeah, and to add complexity, the victim there was Romanian, so the "systemic racism" trope could still apply ;-)
English
@DivineShadow33 To be fair satire is impossible to get write in text format.
English
@wethepeopleeire I have, but these days you never know if it's satire or real comment... This platform is really shite ;-)
English
@DivineShadow33 You haven’t even clicked into the article

@MollyJongFast They know Louisiana is lost. It is literally sinking. New Orleans will be under water in a few decades.
English
Still very curious why the governor of Louisiana is in Greenland not in Louisiana where he is the governor.
Orla Joelsen@OJoelsen
On Wednesday morning, Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry walks through Nuuk, Greenland, while a woman carrying a blue bag follows the governor and shouts: “Don’t come here — go home!”

@Keg767 It seems more likely it wasn't a brain fade but a pilot suicide.
English
I operated these types of fuel control switches for 19 years on jets that were up to 20+ years old. Not once did I ever come across a FCS that would have been able to move from ‘run’ to ‘cutoff’ without human intervention.
On the odd occasion you might come across a gate that was slightly more worn than other aircraft but it was still a gate that required the physical lifting of the FCS up and over.
It is significantly more likely that someone inadvertently had a massive brain fade and switched the engines to cut off then the switches both magically moving themselves to cut off.
For the record, the massive brain fade is also a highly, highly unlikely event. A 1 in 100 million type event. Maybe lower.
So the chances of the FCS moving themselves to cutoff? 1 in 100 billion I reckon.

Indian investigators are set to visit Seattle for Boeing lab testing tied to the Air India Flight 132 incident involving Boeing 787-8 VT-ANX. The aircraft, operating London Heathrow–Bengaluru on Feb. 2, 2026, was grounded after pilots reported the left Fuel Control Switch slipped from “RUN” to “CUTOFF.” Officials want Boeing to prove under controlled testing that the fuel switches cannot move on their own — even under vibration, turbulence, electrical faults, or other extreme conditions. Boeing is expected to demonstrate that the switch will not move unless physically operated by a human. The outcome of the tests could play a major role in determining whether the incident was caused by mechanical failure, external factors, or human interaction.

@simple_Jack92 @bobw222 @OliLondonTV You know, this thing called the Internet has multiple options to search for information. Spacey won all the cases and was acquitted of all charges, criminal and civil. Nobody was killed, one accuser died of cancer, so that particular case was dropped before getting to court.
English
@bobw222 @OliLondonTV I’m pretty sure he was going to court for something and the lead witness was killed?
English
Kevin Spacey makes Cannes Film Festival return with feisty mystery woman.
The actor is attempting to make his comeback after Hollywood cancelled him during the ‘Me Too’ movement.
English
@uzohak @OliLondonTV He's a creep, but yeah, an excellent actor otherwise.
English
@OliLondonTV He is a great fucking actor
I have enjoyed every single one of his films
Bring him back
English
@AnandoRando @uzohak @OliLondonTV Why? He didn't have sex with minors. Just adult men. And he was acquitted in courts. Don't get me wrong, he's a creep, but had his day in court and won.
English
@uzohak @OliLondonTV should have been run out of the country like roman polanski
English
@OliLondonTV Umm... It wasn't really Me Too. He was charged with sexual miscoduct against men, but was ultimately acquitted. Spacey is gay, so the "mystery woman" is probably some model to accompany him on the red carpet or something.
English
@doyle_esther @TomOHanlon17 It is weird how it works, sometimes. Murder is premeditated, so it wasn't murder, but manslaughter charges seem appropriate. But yeah, if you beat someone up and leave them to die, it's "just" assault... Stupid rules, eh?
English
@TomOHanlon17 So they murdered him but rte says it was an assault.
Interesting.

Trump: “I love Canada … But the United States can't subsidize a country for $200 billion a year … You have to run your own country. And to be honest with you, Canada only works as a state … I'm sorry, we have to do this.”

The Russians intercepted an RAF spy plane
20 miles from Russia and 2000 miles from the UK.
UK accuses Russia of aggression.
Glenn Diesen@Glenn_Diesen
The UK is outraged that Russia intercepted its spy plane that was flying along Russia’s Black Sea coast to pick targets.
English
@EO_Halloran People will still try to push their narratives. Some will yell it's racism, others will yell to deport all immigrants. While in reality the guy died because he commited a crime and because security were incompetent idiots. He wasn't targeted because he was black.
English
@Keep_t100 Im rejecting this American racial dynamic outside America. Ireland doesn't have a history of deliberate and intentional discriminatory bias against people with dark skin here so Id like to not pretend we are like America
And they were private security. They werent trained police
English
The Twitter reaction to Sakila"s death at Arnotts is very frustrating
The security are insane for causing the death, there's no justification
If you are unsympathetic to his death you are a worthless person
But also turning this into an American style racist crime is wrong
English
@Keep_t100 @EO_Halloran There is no record of systemic racism in Ireland. No record of police abuse vs blacks. No record of slavery, either. This bloke died because security fucked up. He just happened to be black. Just like one of the guys holding him, btw.
English
@EO_Halloran Enda can you explain to us why we can’t compare apples to apples?
Yves and George were both - BLACK skinned
The people who killed both men, where white skinned, and used excessive force, showing absolutely no regard for safety or humanity!
Both countries have a racism issue🤷🏾♂️
English
@EO_Halloran His death was an unfortunate accident, but I'm more sympathetic to the old guy whose hip was broken by that thug. Security fucked up bigly though, that's for sure. Gross negligence manslaughter charges likely. There should be a review of training standards in this industry too.
English
@bubbathea @MusketPower He definitely didn't deserve to die. It was an unfortunate accident, but also a consequence of his criminal actions.
English
@MusketPower it’s more the reaction from ppl who think the lad deserved to die for shoplifting im after
English
@bubbathea Why are you trying to add a race angle to this? Because he was black? It didn't happen because of his ethnicity, but because he was stealing, and the security staff were incompetent idiots.
