Tonight.
On RTÉ Two.
The first instalment of the new four-part documentary series Trauma will begin at 9.30pm.
Tonight’s episode will include a focus on shop owner Milan Hosek who was treated in the Mater Hospital’s emergency department after his ear was bitten off when he was subjected to a racist attack on a street in Dublin.
Via RTE:
Father-of-three Milan goes to A&E carrying the severed part of his ear in the hope that surgeons can reattach it.
He tells viewers that he was attacked by two men who started abusing him saying things like: “f**king foreigners in our country”.
“I felt really bad when the guy started spitting at me and telling me I’m a foreigner in his country”, he tells viewers. One man then urged his companion to “bite” Milan’s ear off and they attacked him.
Both men ran off after the incident. During the attack, they also told Milan they knew where he lived prompting him to ask the Gardaí to watch his family home.
Dr Sinead McArdle, Consultant in Emergency Medicine at the Mater tells viewers that: “to remove a part of someone’s body and the force required to take the whole pin of an ear would be unusual”.
In this clip, Milan and his wife Joanna, who hail from the Czech Republic and have lived here since 2003 having opened a city centre bicycle shop, talk about the racism that they have experienced, with both of them attacked within a 20-day period.
Thud.
The poor guy. What scum.
Would be more than time that decent Irish people realize it and get rid of the fallacy of “we don’t have an extreme right wing party so racism is nothing here compare to the rest of Europe”.
“I think I’ll have a look at Broadsheet.ie while I eat my lunch.” said Holden.He felt happy because there were often funny memes and odd limericks that weren’t quite limericks.
So he sat at his desk and too k the foil from his toasted cheese and tuna sandwich the page opened and he was shown the picture of a man’s severed ear.
“Oh” said Holden “that’s bloddy disgusting.” and he never visited Broadsheet.ie again.
Until the next day when he’d forgotten all about it.
I don’t see the connection between your ”bloddy disgusting’ sandwich and not visiting Broadsheet again.
What am I missing?
:))
Fupping foreigners on our nation’s tv station
scumbags…the attackers not the victims.
Relax.
We know who you meant.
I’d like to apologise for my two earlier comments.
There’s nothing funny about this.
I’m sorry.
PS.
I am beholden to Holden for the line, ”happy because there were often funny memes”.
I’ll be putting that on me CV.
I might correct the grammar first.
Shut Up.
You were doing grand there for a minute.
I can’t take you anywhere.
Look on the positive side ; black people can now get a drink in the Long Valley pub in Cork.
Is this RTE show competing with “Dirty Foreign Welfare Fraudsters are stealing your Dole” on TV3 ?
pat, you’re starting to look like your cat.
Black and white if I remember correctly.
I usually skip your comments but that one was good.
Keep it up.
PRIDE organisers, this has been coming. Not only are revelers having sex in the middle of the day on peoples front of house, as the man says… but they threatened his wife for requesting they move on…..W. T. F. !
This behaviour is not new, and PRIDE organisers know it.
Hands up if you were shocked to see Clampers blame organised gayness for racism.
No different to complaining about the organisers of Paddy’s Day parades, such a City Council, and their lack of control over past Paddy’s Day revelry. which was a big problem in the past.
I clearly, state that it is the organisers of an event that have responsibility. The event is a gay parade, so whom else should i direct the complaint to if not the organisers of PRIDE?
“No different to complaining about the organisers of Paddy’s Day ”
You posted this at 2.25. At 2.22, *that’s THREE MINUTES previously, Clamps*, you said this
“but is descending into something far worse than, say, the drunken carry on of Paddy’s Day.”
Jayzus, Clamps. Take a breath.
“so whom else should i direct the complaint to”
I’d recommend blaming the scummers who actually punched yer man. If you want to get angry at gay people as a block though, like a good bigot, blaming the organisers of gay pride marches would make sense, I guess.
So, organisers of events have no responsibility for the revelry at their organised event.
OK
Was his front garden part of the venue? No? Then they’re not responsible. Good lad.
I’m still trying to figure out what a gay pride event or the alleged behaviour of randomers attending such an event has to do with an apparently random act of racist inspired violence against a bike shop owner. Do you care to elaborate (assuming you are able)? Your conflation of these two completely unrelated events seems hatstand.
The two are unrelated. I am referring only to the story recounted by the man on the hospital bed.
The two are unrelated yet you think the organisers of the unrelated event are responsbile? Insane. Actually insane.
Am I missing something? Did a poster just conflate a random act of racist-inspired violence with the completely unrelated behaviour of revellers at a gay pride event?
In fairness, the chap in the video talks about how two lads were riding in his front garden and *apparently* Pride was on that day. But yeah. That is precisely what he did. People other than the lads that beat up yer man are responsible for him getting beat up because they’re also gay and wanted to walk down a street singing about it.
*apparently*
Moyest doubts the man lying in the hospital bed recounting an incident his wife endured.
Clamps virtue signals.
Huh? You can’t be fupping serious? That’s what I thought but I was thinking to myself nah maybe he meant to post this on some other thread!
I’m genuinely not sure he’s the brightest.
Bright? Currently there’s little evidence to indicate the existence of even a lightswitch.
Clampers — I have thought this previous but dismissed it as just bad paraphrasing on a previous post but having seen this comment, I have to ask… do you have a problem with gay people?
None whatsoever, voted for gay persons to ge marriage too.
What I am saying is that, organisers have put together what was a fun party, but is descending into something far worse than, say, the drunken carry on of Paddy’s Day. I have voiced the same about that too. Much has been done to clean up on street revelry, same needs to be done with PRIDE.
“but is descending into something far worse than, say, the drunken carry on of Paddy’s Day.”
Doesn’t have a problem with dza gayizz apparently.
What?
I talk Gibberish myself sometimes but even I don’t understand what you said there.
I need a cup of tea, and to ruminate.
Liggy, there’s no need for that comma after the word ‘faceless’.
I cannot find fault with the rest of your comment because I don’t understand any of it.
Are you imitating the other fella?
– because that would make sense.
Oops…
That comment was supposed to be a reply to the next one, from Liggy..
Down HERE ⤵
Grand. Thanks for explaining. I did hesitate before I posted wondering if I was going a bit batty cos you normally seem sound (for an anon, faceless, commenter on t’interwebs like)
Glad we could talk it through civilly.
*doffs cap *
WTF has this to do with Milan’s ear getting bitten off?
What needs to be done? Do we not have a whole raft of public order offences on the statute books?
We could police Dublin city centre. We could try that?
So long as it’s not them gay lads in police uniforms.
SHUT IT DOWN!!!!
We need to do what they did in the UK around football hooliganism when they banned football, imprisoned the FA board and crucified one in every eleven players and fans to send a message!
Shut ALL the bike shops
Seriously though. I remember when Pride was about 3000ish people I think. It’s now TENS of thousands.
The Gardai are responsible for policing the city outside of the official festival grounds, not the volunteers who organise Pride. There were dozens of arrests at Paddy’s Day last year – I never hear the organisers being put in the frame for it.
YES there’d probably be less crime if we held no public festivals or gigs or sports events and all went to bed at 9pm. Is that the proposal?
Such a bizarre disconnect, you dont see it for yourself so you dont think it’s happening, but it obviously is.
What is wrong with some of you?
Gay men can be racist too.
They can be anything nowadays.
They’re actually equal, I think.
Get over it.
This has nothing to do with anything but racism.
Stop hi-jacking threads.
There’s more to this than one perspective.
They “started” abusing him after he told them to stop drinking on the public street outside.. and more i can’t go into.
Also if two people are “sexually touching” outside his house how did he also happen to get involved again!
