Was Refusing the Vaccine Really Just a ?Coin Flip?? Sat Jan 28, 2023 11:00 | Nick Dixon
Dilbert creator and commentator Scott Adams sportingly admits the 'anti-vaxxers' made the right choice, but claims their decision was just a 'coin flip'. Is he giving vaccine sceptics enough credit?

Jump To Comment: 5 4 3 2 1Grangegorman residents are in the High Court tomorrow morning. They are asking people who support them to gather at Grangegorman from 8am tomorrow morning.
indo version tucked away well down the page, tones down the baliffs violence and does not mention gardai presence or court orders.
what a shock!

surprisingly for the IT, this actually wasn't a bad opinion piece courtesy of Una Mullaley. Perhaps there's hope yet?
The Grangegorman Squat -Alternative spaces are where interesting things happen.
Footage of bailiffs driving van into & over residents of Grangegorman last night. This incident occurred after a long day that started with dozens of men invading people's homes at 6.39am to carry out a physical force eviction without a court eviction order.
Garda took part in this offensive even after they were told the papers they had been shown were not an eviction order. Later in the day bailiffs attacked residents with iron bars & rocks resulting in injuries, all before this final incident last night.
It was only after this incident that the bailiffs finally abandoned the eviction attempt in the face of a huge angry mobilisation from people living in the area.

Grangegorman footage
Baliffs at the attempted eviction of Grangegorman have turned very violent. Two of the residents were injured by rocks thrown at them, others attacked by metal bars.
A few minutes ago the bailiffs drove a van into the defenders with people being knocked over. People were being dragged under and could have been killed but the van was brought to a halt by protesters.
It appears at around this time one of the protesters was knocked off a wall and is now unconscious. One person was also ran over by the van and has a leg injury. Two fire brigade and an ambulance are now on the scene. One of the injuries appears to be serious
Garda are present but have taken no action against this thuggery. Support is wanted.
Baliffs at Grangegorm eviction have driven van into residents -no one killed due to prompt action to stop it
Just in from https://www.facebook.com/SolidarityTimes
We've just heard that the bailiffs trying to evict the people living in the Grangegorman complex have attacked the defenders. They have been trying to evict people from their homes since 7am when they broke through the gates using angle grinders and assaulted the residents.
Earlier today the residents managed to get the gates locked again. The gates are still locked shut trapping the bailiffs vans inside the yard, they can walk out at any time they just can't remove their vehicles.
There was a change of shift of the bailiffs. The new bailiffs arriving refused to identify what company they were working for and were considerably more aggressive with people.
6-8 Bailiffs started pulling people off the gate which is 4m high, putting peoples lives at risk. One person stood in front of them, he was attacked by several bailiffs who knocked him to the ground and tried to drag him out of sight. As people feared what might happen if he was removed from view several people came to his defence resulting in a fraca. A couple of people were injured by being hit on the head by rocks thrown by security at this point.
More garda have now arrived on the scene and there is a tense standoff. People have been asked to go down and add to the numbers to de escalate the confrontation the bailiffs are creating. Three people are still on the gate and a number of people are on the streets outside.
Meanwhile the illegal nature of this mornings eviction and the fact that the Garda present continued to co-operated and indeed threaten people long after this was made clear to them has started to attract international attention. Al Jazerra have even carried an item on the standoff - see http://stream.aljazeera.com/story/201503231341-0024640
There is now a support page for the residents up at https://www.facebook.com/resistgg follow that to get updates as the situation develops
-----
Prediction: Garda will more than likely arrest the squatters. They will take absolutely no action against the bailiff hired thugs who hit people on the head with rocks. The job of the Garda is to protect the rich and corporate interests.
