Irish police arrive at a teacher’s home for the second time to arrest him for refusing to call a student “they". Unreal.

We're arresting people for this stuff now?

Correct, this is not in Britain, we'll get blamed for it anyway though

Edit: turns out the story is partially BS? many are saying the arrest is for repeated trespassing on school property after being let go for refusing to call someone by their pronouns. So while yes, silly to be let go for such a thing the arrest is not actually because of that.

Way to bury the lead OP. Forget the man being arrested - Britain has apparently invaded the Republic of Ireland.
 
He said the court had not directed Mr Burke to refer to a pupil by a new pronoun or to do or say anything that might conflict with his religious beliefs.

The judge said Mr Burke had not been imprisoned or fined for his views on transgender issues, which he was perfectly entitled to have and to articulate. He said the court had simply directed that Mr Burke must not trespass on school premises as he had been dismissed from his position for gross misconduct.

The judge said this distinction was not difficult to understand and any of Mr Burke's students from Transition Year up would understand it.

The judge ruled Mr Burke's arguments that a Court of Appeal decision in a related matter had undermined the orders made against him to stay away from the school were utterly without merit. He said if Mr Burke had wanted to appeal the court's orders, he should have done so at the appropriate time.

He pointed out that the school had to hire security guards at a rate of €1,000 per week solely and exclusively to keep Mr Burke out. He said Mr Burke would rather this money was spent on keeping him out of the school rather than on the needs of pupils.

The judge described this as the "grotesque behaviour" of a teacher putting his own "ridiculous sense of himself" above the needs of his pupils. He said Mr Burke was willing to sacrifice the pupils of the school on the altar of his fanatical campaign against transgenderism.

The judge went on to describe Mr Burke's presence at the school as "deeply unsettling".

The High Court has said that Enoch Burke and his family have engaged in the most deliberate, sustained and concerted attack on the civil courts and the rule of law in this country in recent times and has ordered Mr Burke's immediate imprisonment.

What kind of idiot keeps showing up at his place of work after being let go? Disagree with him being fired all you want, but that is not normal behaviour. Nor is telling a judge to wipe the smirk off his face going to net you any favours.

It does seem to be becoming more common for people to fall for and share this stuff. It seems like you get these pockets of political discussion with people who are whipping each other into a frenzy over this kind of thing. It's one of the reasons I avoid a lot of political discussions online these days.
 
Just an FYI this isn't the UK. Its in Ireland in a town a few miles from where I live.

And yes: our government is run by despotic idiots. He was fired from his job for expressing his religious beliefs. Which is constitutionally protected here, unless it involves a confused male child that thinks they're a girl ....apparently.

but the original "gross misconduct" that he was fired for was the refusal to use the they pronoun

puts the media spin on him being portrayed as just a nutter into question imo, plus who knows with judges, some of them are the biggest shitlibs out there

Many of them in The West are participating in activism or sabotage. You cannot make up how some of these judges let out career criminals. These people are supposed to be judges. If they are letting people out with multiple felony convictions and looking the other way, it's complacency and deliberate. These people need to take exams and have a great understanding of the laws both local and national. These people are not stupid and making bumbling mistakes. By. Design.

Wow, it's even turned into England now?

ok, let's do a little bit of Geography......
Republic of Ireland is not in Britain
England is not Britain, Britain consists of England, Scotland and Wales.
The UK (full name The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland) consists of England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland (not the Republic of Ireland)

If you want to test this out, stand in the middle of Dublin and shout 'You are all English' and see where that gets you.

Well, I dont think that's all he was arrested for, as far as I can tell, he was abusive to staff members, probably related to the transgender thing but being aggressive to fellow co-workers can be grounds for dismissal. But if you look at how this guy has behaved since his dismissal I wouldn't say that's unlikely. Telling a high court judge to 'wipe that smirk off your face' isn't exactly normal behaviour.

How to be extremely pedantic in an easy lesson!
 
The police officers look incredibly uncomfortable with what they're being tasked to do. It's so sad to see what is happening.
 
A quick search says this man and his family are nutters being fined or arrested for repeated trespass/violating restraining orders, not their religious beliefs.

Don't just bring up social media posts like my Boomer dad who doesn't understand that the algorithm is specifically designed to provoke him and keep him enraged about nonsense.
 
Very religious the Burkes from Castlebar in Ireland, there have been many incident's over the years with them and many more to come, it's not their first time.

" (His) flagrant disregard for governmental authorities is exactly the opposite of what Jesus Christ did and what he preached," Phelps Jr added.
That's protesting at military funerals, 'god hates fags' Phelps disagreeing with how this guy has acted.
Also he was suspended for an altercation with the Principal about a transgender student that wasn't in any of his classes. So he is mainly protesting about other people not using his preferred pronouns for someone else.

It's true that the legal basis for his prison time is contempt of court. He wasn't jailed for his beliefs. But it's also true that the only reason the court order exists in the first place was his refusal to comply with the school's direction about pronouns. I don't think it's fair to reduce it to "his family are nutters" which dismisses the school policy that triggered the whole chain of events.
 
Completely insane but not too surprised with how insane some of the world are these days.

That's why there must be a limit somewhere.

The They/shit/trans or whatever mentally insane and retarded stuff should have never even be debatable in the first place.

You give them a bit inch and you open the way for their evil twisted and insane ways to infect much more.

First they'll be mostly harmless with them knowing they're crazy and rightfully and they'll merely say they just want to be left alone. But sooner or later they'll try to push their insanity on others and outright hating on sane folks who don't agree with their twisted sick ways. And eventually they'll even want to punish the normal sane folks for not agreeing with them. The forces of evil have been trying to push for a upside down world for awhile.

People who use pronouns are fucking nutters. And the state/institutions that enforce that form of cultural marxism attack on the west are traitors.
 
In slight defence of the officers, they are executing a warrant from the High Court, which isn't even a criminal court, so whatever he did it wasn't as a result of a police investigation. Nonetheless it's all ridiculous and doesn't need that many officers.

It's not unfair. He was dismissed from his work for multiple reasons, among which was the pronoun issue, and opted to trespass to the point of criminality. This man is from a family of religious nutters with questionable behaviours.

The court document doesn't identify unrelated issues as the cause of his dismissal as a teacher. It only specifies two grounds:

"(1) his refusal to
obey a direction of the school that a transgender pupil be addressed by the surname "they"
and (2) because of his gross misconduct at a school religious service (and other events) and
the manner in which he conducted his objection to transgenderism."

Even the "gross misconduct" cited isn't a separate issue, the misconduct was his objection to the same policy, specially the way he raised it during a school service. So yeah, he trespassed and ignored court orders, that's why he has been arrested. He absolutely could have handled his protest very differently. But the disciplinary and suspension started because of the school's pronoun policy. Both can be true: that he broke the law, and the dispute originated from a contested policy, rather than random 'nutter' behaviour.
 
He's free to start a private school protected from wokeism and transgender ideology. He is free to have his religious beliefs, but going after children because you take umbrage with certain cultural trends is not protected speech. It's even weirder because he hasn't been employed for 3 years now, and has continued to trespass for that entire time despite multiple warnings, hundreds of thousands of fines, and multiple trips to jail. That's really fucking weird behaviour. He also films all of this and posts it to his social media. It's obvious that he continues to do this either he's a deranged loon or because he realizes he can make more money being a social media rage farmer than being a productive member of society, possibly a combination of both.

But he can also have approached that dispute in a manner that was 'nutty'. The fact he has got a point where the Westboro Baptist Church are saying to chill suggests that he probably didn't start out as sane and rational.

3 years? I'd heard about this but didn't realise it had been going on for so long. It makes me wonder how many of these people who are deeply into this stuff are just unemployed and without much to do other than sit around on social media.
