@MichaelPTKelly I'm not in favour of the state imposing the death penalty but if other prisoners were to kill these 2, I'd have absolutely no problem with that
@MaryKenny4 My belief is that there would be no welfare state without Marx. Social democracy was introduced to pacify the working class who otherwise would have turned to revolutionary communism to improve their lives
@wil_da_beast630 I like the Dutch style of tolerance. People are free to live as they choose and it's not my role to prevent them doing that, BUT I am under no obligation to celebrate said lifestyle. The whole Pride thing with its mandatory glorification is oppressive and burdensome
🟥 Czy Henry Nowak mógł przeżyć?
Dr Krzysztof Magier @DrMagier , lekarz pediatra i były konsul honorowy RP w Cowes, przeanalizował nagrania z policyjnej kamery nasobnej pokazujące śmierć Henry'ego Nowaka.
Dr Magier jest lekarzem prowadzącym oddział intensywnej terapii dziecięcej, z doświadczeniem w szkoleniach z medycyny pola walki oraz po specjalistycznym kursie leczenia ciężkich urazów (w tym ran postrzałowych i kłutych).
Nie zgadza się z opinią patologa i sędziego, że Henry Nowak nie miał żadnych szans na przeżycie i ze skucie go w kajdanki nic w zasadzie nie zmieniło. Wręcz przeciwnie – istnieje duże prawdopodobieństwo, że to interwencja policji przyczyniła się do jego śmierci.
Przeanalizował on raport z sekcji, który wskazuje na uszkodzenie żyły podobojczykowej jako główne źródło krwawienia i tłumaczy, gdzie leży problem.
U zdrowej osoby krwawienie żylne odbywa się pod niskim ciśnieniem i często samoogranicza się dzięki powstającemu naturalnie skrzepowi, a samo zbliżenie krawędzi rany i ucisk otaczających tkanek domyka żyłę na tyle, że spowalnia albo nawet zatrzymuje krwawienie.
Z nagrania z policyjnej kamery nasobnej wynika, że gdy policja przybyła na miejsce (prawdopodobnie 5-10 minut po zranieniu), Henry był na tyle przytomny, że mówił dość głośno. Nie był zatem jeszcze w stanie terminalnym. Po wykręceniu rąk do tyłu i skuciu za plecami najprawdopodobniej doszło do rozciągnięcia żyły, rozerwania skrzepu i gwałtownego nasilenia krwawienia. W ciągu zaledwie ok. trzech minut stracił przytomność i zmarł.
Osoby z podejrzeniem urazów wewnętrznych nigdy nie powinny być gwałtownie przemieszczane ani szarpane – takie działanie może zniszczyć naturalny skrzep i doprowadzić do masywnego krwotoku wewnętrznego.
Zamiast natychmiastowego wezwania zespołu ratownictwa medycznego i przekazania pacjenta w ręce ratowników, policja go skuła. Gdyby na miejscu jako pierwsi pojawili się paramedycy, szanse Henry’ego na przeżycie byłyby znacznie większe. "50%" - pisze dr Magier.
Ratownicy mogliby szybko założyć kroplówkę, podać płyny zwiększające objętość krwi krążącej oraz kwas traneksamowy stabilizujący skrzep, a w razie potrzeby wykonać dekompresję igłową (wkłucie grubej i długiej igły w płuco), bo problemem nie był tyle brak funkcji płuca, ale ucisk zalanego krwią płuca na serce i śródpiersie, który blokuje krążenie.
Co gorsza, incydent miał miejsce zaledwie kilka minut jazdy samochodem (2–3 minuty karetką na sygnale) od Southampton University Hospital – regionalnego Major Trauma Centre dysponującego pełnym zapleczem specjalistów, procedur i sprzętu. "Jestem przekonany, że gdyby Henry dotarł tam żywy, lekarze nie pozwoliliby mu umrzeć" - pisze dr Magier.
Podsumowując: agresywna interwencja policji, zamiast ratować życie, doprowadziła do śmierci przez nieodpowiednie postępowanie z ciężko ranionym człowiekiem, mimo że najwyższej klasy opieka była w zasięgu kilku minut. "Obawiam się, że Sędzia i patolog byli zbyt łaskawi dla policji" - pisze dr Magier.
Just over a year ago, I nearly became another statistic.
On 18 March 2025 in Waterford City, I was the victim of a serious knife assault.
Like many victims, I trusted that the criminal justice system would do its job. I believed that once someone was charged in connection with such serious violence, public safety would be the priority.
Today, another family is grieving the loss of a 21 year old man following a separate fatal stabbing incident that is now the subject of an active Garda investigation.
Out of respect for that investigation, I will not speculate on guilt, innocence, or outcomes. Those matters belong to the courts.
But I do believe there are questions that deserve answers.
How are individuals charged with serious violent offences monitored while on bail?
The individual charged in connection with the assault on me was arrested, charged, and subsequently released on bail with conditions that included not entering Waterford City, This was after months of him hiding in the UK and bragging about the attack on TikTok saying if he gets jail he gets jail so what.
THIS IS PUBLIC IMFORMATION AMD ARRESTS HAVE BEEN MADE AND COURT HAS BEEN ADJOURNED!
reports indicate these bail conditions were ALLEGEDLY breached on multiple occasions, including attendance at events in the city all posted on social media.
That same individual is now ALLEGEDLY main suspect in a separate murder investigation involving another stabbing, with investigations ongoing.
This raises serious questions about bail decisions and monitoring of individuals charged with violent knife crime, especially when multiple victims were stabbed in one night in the same city.
What happens when bail conditions are allegedly breached?
Are victims and the wider public being adequately protected from repeat violence?
These are not political questions.
They are public safety questions.
I know what it is like to be on the receiving end of serious violence. I know how quickly lives can be changed forever.
My thoughts today are with the family of the young man who lost his life, and with every victim of violent crime who has been left wondering whether more could have been done.
Ireland deserves a justice system that protects innocent people, supports victims, and takes violent offending seriously.
Public safety must remain the priority.
The lies told about Ireland - no particular order:
Ireland has seen a staggering amount of online interest and interference over the last 5 years, to the point it now has the worlds highest external malicious bot traffic - 71%, versus 35% in the U.S for example
Here are some of the regular falsehoods:
'A famine (scarcity of food) caused 1 million+ deaths in Ireland 1845-1851':
Over 4000 ships carried food from Ireland in 1847 alone, the famines worst year (Black ‘47).
Over 3 million livestock were exported 1846-1850.
6 million quarters of grain left 1845-1847 (about 1 million tonnes)
While avoiding all deaths was unlikely, access and entitlement to food, rather than its scarcity, was a primary factor.
'Ireland was pro-Nazi in WW2'':
Ireland was exclusively and extensively pro-Allied in WW2.
It violated neutrality in the Allies favour completely, across dozens of ways, any of which would have led to war with Germany if they became known.
9% of the Irish population voluntarily joined the UK war effort. Zero went to Germany.
The Irish state is the only neutral to exclusively aid the Allies and openly criticise Nazi actions.
Ireland had lowest far right uptake in Europe.
Britain's MI5 said at wars end ‘Ireland was of more use neutral’
'Before the Anglo-Norman arrival, Ireland was not unified or coherent':
Irish identity and island wide culture formed from about 500BC.
No later they 500AD they called themselves Irish, differentiated foreigners and shared an island wide society and identity that worked as one on laws, language, religion, culture, origin myths & legends.
They even met up to compete in national inter-kingdom sports days. Many tribes, but one people.
'Before the Anglo-Norman arrival, Gaelic Ireland was uncivilised':
Ireland had the most advanced law system in Europe, a restorative learned profession with divorce, animal welfare laws & rare execution.
All-Island assemblies created laws like 'The law of the Innocents', 697AD, that gave protection to women and children in times of war.
Irish monasteries were a shining light amid Europe's dark ages, returning & advancing literacy & learning.
A complex all-island society placed immense importance on culture.
Claims of cannibalism & backwards barbarity were fabricated or exaggerated by Anglo-Normans propagandist, Gerald of Wales, to justify colonisation.
'Ireland has an inflated history of antisemitism / racism':
Ireland has had the lowest levels of antisemitism in Europe since the first Jewish arrivals in the 11th century.
Zero expulsions. No pogroms. No exclusion from government/societal roles.
Irelands most important politician, Daniel O’Connell, fought for Jewish rights in the 1800’s.
Ireland enshrined Jewish right of practise in its 1937 Constitution, a unique action in an antiemetic age.
Claims Ireland exclusively excluded Jews in WW2 are false - all refugee entries were minimised. Jews made up 20% of those left in, likely the largest cohort of a small number.
Ireland has no history of large scale, organised racially motivated groups or state segregation
(of course racism and antisemitism existed in Ireland as everywhere)
'The IRA & its tactics represent all Irish':
The Irish Republican Army fought a popular campaign for Irish independence 1919 - 1921, achieving partial independence for the country.
Since then, the groups popularity waned as violent tactics were at odds with a desire for political advancement of Republican ideals.
By World War Two, the group had just 2k members from a population of 3 million and were deeply unpopular with the Irish public for their tactics.
Many Irish remained / remain Republicans, and desirous of a reunited Ireland, but not via violent means.
