I have a beautiful friend, he is an ex-riot squat here in Australia, he shares many horrendous stories about what is going on in the force and how police are trained to simply take orders and no question asked. I am proud to say that now; he fights with us, against Shell, Woodside, BHP, BP and Chevron here in Broome Western Australia! People who still believe, without questioning anything big companies or authorities say, are lost souls! Why do people without question believe any report from Shell and the like or Police???? Why??? Because they said so???? Wake up!! Big companies are there for the money and money lies....and police sadly are robots...and the really bad ones even enjoy it! Asking question is scary, but it is the only way. Keep going!

One of the biggests companies in the world and they do not need to employ thier own bouncers, why should they, our own gardai are doing a great job for them. The only country in the world where protesters have been peaceful, the gardai should be grateful for that alone, so why are they using the rough tactics again the people, they should stand aside and let the people protest....unless there is some hidden agenda between government, judges and Shell. That I could well believe. Good luck to the people involved and imprisoned, and hopefully many more will get involved with you. You are doing this for all the citizens in this country, keep up the good work.

Judging from the lack of national coverage in the regular media, it is obvious that the public interest in this schoolyard scrap has waned.<br />
<br />
There are more pressing things for the ordinary joe to be dealing with, what with the economy in dire straits, sovereignty lost and the country in hock.<br />
<br />
It seems pointless to be continuing this campaign when the entire country and its citizens are now virtually under foreign control and little more than a colony of debtors to foreign capitalist states.<br />
<br />
This campaign is like having lost several billion Euro and found a few cents.<br />
<br />
Wake up, please, the whole dam' herd of horses has bolted!!<br />
<br />

<br />
no. it is obvious that the media have gone out of their way to bury this matter.<br />
<br />
The economic situation makes it all the more important that Ireland take control of its oil and gas resources for its own use. There are billions worth of gas and oil off the coast. We're giving it away for nothing at present to a private corporation. <br />
<br />
This campaign is the only real sustained resistance there has been to the corporate corruption of our political and judicial system and the systematic stealing of potential oil/gas wealth from the Irish people. <br />
<br />
It is not a question of giving up. The Shell to sea campaign is a source of inspiration and experience in the future resistance to come against the bankster occupation of our country. We should not stop. In fact we should rally around it and make it a symbolic victory for people power."There are billions worth of gas and oil off the coast."http://www.indymedia.ie/article/101416#comment2881662012-03-01T18:10:42+00:00W.
