Major questions asked as to why gardai didn’t break up and walked alongside BLM protest in Drogheda with no social distancing even though we’re in Level 5 lockdown restrictions




Major questions are being asked today as to just how gardai allowed a large Black Lives Matter protest march through Drogheda’s town centre on Monday afternoon where there was absolutely no social distancing even though we’re in Level 5 lockdown.

Every day, Irish people are demanded to stay at home unless they’re going to get food, medince etc but on Monday afternoon, a large group of BLM protesters who were marching over George Nkencho were actually accompanied by gardai from Shop Street through Dyer Street and over to Drogheda Garda Station.

Assontishingly, gardai can be seen in the footage next to the protesters. Checkpoints are up and down the country stopping people leaving their county or even their home for non essential reasons, but here we can see a large protest taking place with absolutely no social distancing and gardai appearing to do absolutely nothing whatsoever to stop it. Many people on social media are claiming that gardai are afraid to stop the protests because of the nature of the topice the protesters are marching about.

Watch the footage below and tell us your thoughts and share this with your friends.
