…and it’s only Tuesday. Check out this post on TCAL for background but basically what happened is some American troops were stranded in County Clare because of problems with their plane.
Where it gets interesting is when some ‘peace activist’ called Conor Cregan met 6 of the soldiers on the road. He stopped them and said, and this is no joke, “I am placing you all under citizen’s arrest. Do not move!”
It’s a fucking shame the US soldiers couldn’t commit an atrocity on that cunt. He’s written about the story on Indymedia and has written in the manner of dimwit. Take this example:
“After assuring the men that they were not in jeopardy the peace activist made an emergency call to Ennis Garda Station. Cregan called for the Member in charge to send a van to pick up these awol soldiers but Garda O’Sullivan’s response was less than helpful.”
Now, he’s writing about something he did yet he refers to himself as ‘Cregan’ instead of using the word ‘I’ which a normal person would do. The only time you should ever refer to yourself in the third person is when you’re playing football on your own in the back garden and you’re doing the commentary. Like this:
“And it’s the final minute of the World Cup final. Ireland are fucking shite, all of them, especially that Desperate Dan cunt Robbie Keane. The only man to show anything at all is Twenty Major. Oh, and Beckham loses the ball in midfield. It’s Major running at the English defence. He goes past Lampard, leaves Ferdinand on his forgetful arse, Neville can’t get near him! Oh, look at that Cruyff turn and flick over his head. The keeper comes out. He’s past the keeper. He has an open goal. What’s he doing? He’s stopped the ball on line. Major kneels down and heads it in. Ireland win the World Cup! Yeaaaaaaah! Yeaaaaaaaaah!”
However, writing a story about something cretinous you did and using the third person is for mongs.
What did he think he was going to arrest them for anyway? Walking in a threatening manner? Causing public disorder by being too loud and possibly a bit blacker than some residents of County Clare? Attempting to blend in with the surroundings by wearing camouflage clothes?
These soldiers had just spent time in Iraq where terrible things happen but I bet you any money the story they’ll tell over and over again is when their plane broke down and some ‘peacenik’ simpleton Mick tried to place them under citizens arrest.
As well as that he rang the gardai on 999 when a real emergency might have needed police presence. I mean, Michael Jackson might have needed another escort.
Anyway, if he’s such a peace activist and anti-war activist what the fuck is he doing in County Clare? Not much fucking war down there. He needs to show some proper balls and go to Iraq and protest. Follow the lead of Ken Bigley. Then people might pay attention to you, Cregan.
A headless gobshite writing about himself in the third person would actually be something to get a pat on the back for. Try it. Come on.
