Protestor tells it as he saw it

Fr Iggy O'Donovan, speaking on the Pat Kenny show today had some interesting things to say.

He said a small group of protestors were determined to cause trouble last night, no matter what. They would not listen to other protestors who wanted to mount a peaceful picket. One pretended he was hit by the police. Fr Iggy said that this man was not hit, he was acting and was actually seen later on 'enjoying himself'. As a protestor himself, he was disgusted at the antics of some others on the protest. Some people still do not know what peaceful protest means. Fr Iggy said the police never once acted agressively or raised their hand to anybody, despite what many reporters have suggested (especially those so called journalists feeding onto this website).

Thank God somebody on the anti-war side is prepared to tell the truth, not lies and propaganda.
