There were many statues damaged in this year . In the end the Catholic Church decided to leave lights on at night in chapels all over the land to stop statues colliding during dark hours

That aul fella's comb over at the very end is a work or art , must be a pain on a windy day though .

This was self defence the statues moved on them first

The local drapery must have done serious business with everyone buying a new outfit for the TV cameras. Wouldn't be surprised if they hired the vandals.

Would I be correct in saying if I say the culture which effectively criminally confined mother's and again criminally took their children from not only them but also the fathers, was purely due to a diktat from Rome then you won't launch a tirade of abuse? I have a funny feeling that is your assertion. If so, you can surely see the parallel to a blinkered intolerant culture then? ... Well then to illicit you're ire I will state some facts. I will categorically state that the culture that encouraged such criminality was cultural as it encouraged the insanity of vehement Catholicism and societal due to the fact the full power of the state was involved, that includes thousands of public and civil servants and directly also as large portion of the population knew it was happening. Notwithstanding of course there were large sections of the population that didn't know it was going on, (but knew well the hypocrisy, stupidity and plain insanity at the heart of the irish subservience to Rome) but ergo equally there were large sections of the population that knew exactly the horror that was going on behind the gates of those instructions. Individuals who had no qualms whatsoever to receive communion, go to mass and confession and put it out of their mind on a daily basis. Individuals could have stood up and shouted stop, they could have chained themselves to the gates but no one did. The blame is due to the church and every other institution in the state and ultimately the people who supported the Roman church 24/7 in Ireland and as far as I'm aware that was near on 90% of the population when that horror was been played out.

Tis a foul deed

2:05 - fella on the right is like "WTF are we doing"!

I was in Ireland that summer. There was a statue fever happening across the west of the country, with thousands of the faithful claiming to see the statues "crying"and "moving." More than once I saw women clambering up muddy hillsides to touch one of these "miracle" statues, only to slip and slide all the way back down the hill, bowling over dozens of the other faithful lunatics. That's why the lads started attacking the statues--it was a largely futile attempt to break the frightening, zombie-like religious hysteria in which most of Ireland was gripped. Watching all this insanity, I suddenly understand exactly how and why so many innocent people were burned to death as "witches" (a most cruel & painful death.) Whatever your feelings about religious freedoms might be, those "vandals" were heroes and those who wanted to string them up were the real menace to society.

These men were followers of the American televangelist Dr. Gene Scott.

Nothing like the arrogance of true believers I suppose.

Although I'm not protestant, they at least have a better idea of the truth behind the matter because they know their bible.
