The remarks were linked to loyalist Union flag protests, one of which is being held today in Belfast city centre.

Gathered that much Bryan! Was he inciting violence or what’s the craic?

The comment is available to view via screenshots on liveleak.. I found it within 90 seconds.. Perhaps next time you shouldn’t be so fast to belittle a reply !!

Bryan just put me out of my misery and tell me what the eejit said! I can’t get live link on my phone, there’s no mobile app and it crap if it goes to the full site!

Come on Bryan be a bro!

I believe this is related to threats being made against a specific individual by a “Fleg” mob poster and encouraging people to hunt him down.

Ah sure it only took me 63 seconds bryan.

Cheers lads.

Bryan hand in your bro card on the way out.

You’re welcome.

I’d his comment was an incitement to violence rather than simply registering his dismay at removal of union jack

Do we not think that arresting muppets who mouth off on social media is a complete waste of police time when actual, real life crime is happening?

In Denmark, for example, there is an online system which will automatically lock your social networking profiles in a virtual jail if you are found to be breaking netiquette. This is manned by civilians and actually generates revenue for the state via fines etc.

Cyberbullying is a reality, – which can have serious consequenses. It can be used to incite hatred & prejudice, against groups or individuals. It is still only a relatively new trend in our society. We don’t know what the long term impact of it will be, – but it should concern us as a society. Responsible journalism recognises this.
In the dreadful rioting that engulfed the city of London, two years ago, much of the ‘networking’ & ‘spreading the word around’ to young gang members, & looters was done through social media.
Social media while mostly is a good & positive thing, – can have negative aspects. We need, as a society to recognise this.

“In Denmark, for example, there is an online system which will automatically lock your social networking profiles in a virtual jail if you are found to be breaking netiquette. This is manned by civilians and actually generates revenue for the state via fines etc.”

I’m disgusted that such a system exists.

When people are calling for the killing of a man, and many of the people that he protests with have convictions for sectarian killings then it is a bit more serious than a bit of Social Media anger.

this from a police force which deems rioting as “recreational” their words not mine.

There have been calls for the return of the Shankill Butchers, and wishes for the return of the “tattie famine” to wipe a few more of us out.

That’s terrible, have these people no brains, majority of people in England don’t give a rats arse about them and no doubt would gladly be rid of Northern Ireland

Hi Padraig,

I’m not sure why you think the article lacks a neutral stance… The decision was made to reduce the number of days on which the Union flag is flown over Belfast City Hall from to 365 days a year to 18 days a year. I think that counts as severely reducing the number of days, doesn’t it?

It certainly does Jen.

What Pádraig quoted sounds like it is a bad thing the amount of days the flag is flown has been reduced to the same amount of days as the rest of the UK, I agree with him.

The word ‘severely’ implies a negative tone. I can see the his point.

Jen, ur lovely.
