Meath County Counciler vs Local Group
Apr 19th, 2008 by Kevin Holler
Everyone loves a bit of scandal these days. Especially when it scandal involving politicians. Now there are two ways of looking at this, and I’m going to try put it out there as best I can. But have a loot at the video first.
What you see here is Nick Killain, the counciler of Meath and a bunch of youths. And as quoted from Mr Killains press release,
In Ratoath, we are experiencing sustained anti-social behaviour by a small minority of young people. Like most residents in the area, I have experienced a deep level of frustration at the negative impact this behaviour has had and continues to have on our community. My frustration is all too evident in the video, and I regret my behaviour, though severely provoked.
So basically we see Mr Killain talking to a bunch of guys and then enforcing violence by pushing one of the youths. Which obviously enough is not acceptable for a man in his position. Nor is it good for his own image as he is suppose to enforce peaceful communication and the likes.
What will happen over this is the same thing that happens everywhere. People will do their best to make this counciler look bad because he went against what he stands by. But I would of done the same thing. If I were being provoked by a bunch of youths acting up, then I would certainly respond in a not so peaceful way.
So all I can say is, fair fucks to the counciler.

haha, scum bags got what was coming to them.
Seems like good publicity for that councilor!
If this councilor has a website let me know so I can support him.
Eh.. yeah I did link his website in the post..
things is those kids had nothing to do with the vandalism in the house
selective quoting there
I thought that might of been the case. Which is why I never mentioned anything about it. The quote from his press release wasn’t aimed at making those youths look like the guilty ones.
I changed the quote however.
Heya! Finally got a chance to check this, dude.
I agree, that if there is proof that they were vandalising the place, then tey shouild be dealth with accordingly! HOWEVER!
Even the newspaper owned by a guy that would LOVE to lash out at teenagers has said that there has been no suggestion that they were involved.
Now, if there is proof, I’d like to see it.
Now for my second point. Basically, we are here with two minds. Teenagers commiting a crime, or no proof. Which would you choose? It’s not really important to me, because in the long run, the councillor still hit a youth from the town! Corporal punishment has long been abolished, I hope it’s not making a comeback!
Anyway, that’s my thoughts. You can see my post on:
