Gemma O'Doherty is continuing her deranged bullying of Edel, suicide-bereaved mother who is suing Gemma.

Her latest attacks and accusations, to me, sound like something authorities should do something about, before this gets any worse.

I'll document it in this thread. /1
This thread is going to be very upsetting and infuriating, in equal measure.

The phrase "lowest of the low" applies to what you're about to read.

Given this tragedy involves death by suicide of a young man, I'd recommend not reading the rest of it if the subject upsets you.
The main reason I'm documenting all of this continued harassment of Edel:

Videos can disappear from the deranged corners of the internet Gemma frequents.

By documenting it, it will be there to show what Gemma is doing to this poor woman.

And to her child, Diego (RIP 🙏)
On Gemma's livestream tonight she also claimed Sandy Hook school shooting, 2017 Manchester Arena bombing and 1998 Omagh bombing were "staged".

In the latter case "staged by An Garda Síochána"

Deeply offensive to the families of victims of these atrocities, whose pain is real.
Gemma is accusing Cavan coroner Dr. Mary Flanagan of "utterly failing to investigate Diego's death".

That's Dr. Mary Flanagan, who was President of the Coroners Society of Ireland in 2020, with a distinguished career.

Looks like defamation, probably.
Gemma has "20 questions" over Diego's death, all of them deeply offensive.

She wants to know why Edel didn't check on him.

That anyone with "maternal instinct" would know a text of "It's ok we'll talk tomorrow, mam" is a giveaway.

This is evil victim-blaming.
Gemma reckons if Edel had been awake after 1am on a Tuesday night, like any good mother, she would have been able to go check on him.

Instead Edel was asleep for work in the morning and thus failed to save her child.

This is deranged bullying.
Gemma is suggesting Edel is a bad mother and to blame for her child's death.

What makes this so evil is any parent bereaved by suicide wishes they could go back in time and stop it from happening.

In some cases, might very well blame themselves.

Hug for any bereaved parent >>>
Gemma is fixated on why Edel called for male assistance from Diego's father, for help in taking him down.

And baffled as to why Edel would even want to take him down and hold him.

I would have thought it was obvious in both instances and any mother would do the same 😢
Gemma suspects Diego may have been "murdered".

It doesn't make sense to her that he was in good form and had ordered a playstation subscription.

Absolutely zero understanding of suicide and zero empathy.

People "in good form" on the outside, can be suffering on the inside 😢
Gemma suggests maybe Diego was a drug dealer and murdered because of that.

Murdered with a rope in his own shed? In his back garden? At 2 in the morning? On a Tuesday night?

Right after texting his mam "I love you"...

Insane and offensive made-up conspiracy theories.
This is out-of-control harassment of a vulnerable mother.

Any of Gemma's 'fans', this question is for you:

Why the fuck are you enabling this?

It's one thing to believe her dumb conspiracies about aliens, 5G, chemtrails, vaccines but bullying a bereaved mother?

Pathetic.
Someone has to be able to help.

Whether it's the guards or an intervention by one of Gemma's trusted friends, if she has any of those.

None of this is acceptable, it's actually sickening what is going on here.

That poor mother doesn't deserve this, it has to stop.
This is the GoFundMe for Edel if anyone would be in a position to help her.

The reporting by a tabloid on the alleged sexual assault of a young girl looks irresponsible.

Sensationalist reporting that turns out to be inaccurate doesn't help victims of sexual crimes and, worse, incites unrest.

It can, and does, harm victims in measurable ways. /1
CW: Sexual assault

A distressing subject for many, with some estimates of 25%+ of women having been sexually assaulted and even higher estimates sexually harassed.

It would be better to not read on, if the topic is distressing.
The Irish Mirror claimed "a young girl was allegedly raped by an African asylum seeker."

In contrast, other media outlets say a man was charged under Section 2 of the Criminal Law (Rape) (Amendment) Act 1990.

Formerly known as indecent assault i.e. non-consensual touching.

Defamation and disinformation.

Not one woman in Ireland died from cervical cancer due to the actions of Mary Harney or any other politician.

I don't get why people can't just write "vote for Catherine!" instead of undermining cancer screening programmes with unhelpful nonsense. Image
30 women are diagnosed with cervical cancer every year in Ireland, despite their last test negative.

Names people might know, like Vicky, had an interval cancer.

It's called an 'interval cancer' because diagnosis (biopsy) happens between regular screening intervals. Image
There was nothing, and remains nothing, that anybody can do to avoid interval cancers.

It happens to 30 women every year in Ireland, as mentioned, but also to 400 women every year in England, 600 women in Germany etc.

Cervical screening isn't capable of perfection. Image

Two photos here: 'Ireland then' and 'Ireland now.'

O'Keeffe inviting his legion of far-right American followers to prefer the old photo because white people living in poverty is MAGA utopia.

The old photo does tell an interesting story, though, if anybody is interested. /1 Image
This is the old photo.

It was taken on the morning of June 28th, 1932 to celebrate the Eucharistic Congress.

There's a reason I'll get to, which leads to a very sad story of life in 1930s Ireland, why this photo wasn't taken on Eucharistic Sunday (June 26th) itself. Image
Photograph was commissioned by Mr. Michael Quinn (circled), who decorated the outside of the house with the help of the family.

The house has barely changed, at least structurally, since the photo was taken.

I'll discuss the house itself in more detail later in the thread. Image

One of the most delusional articles I've ever read.

Apparently Bournemouth was a utopian safe-haven for women in the 1980s and 1990s but nowadays, due to immigrants, women get murdered.

Absolute cloud cuckoo land stuff.

I'll give a few facts on this subject re: Bournemouth.
Marie Louise Witt (71) murdered by lodger Francis Mullender (34) on April 26th, 1976 at her home, Keswick Road, Boscombe, Bournemouth.

Marie Joy Wilton (22) murdered by her estranged husband Barry John Webb (26) on February 28th, 1981 at her home, Rochester Road, Bournemouth.
Emma Louise Baker (15, pic) murdered by a stranger Jamie Devitt (21) on March 22nd, 1981 at junction of Southbourne Road and Stourvale Road, Bournemouth.

Elaine Tse (11) murdered by a burglar Peter Shen (21) on November 22nd, 1981 at her home, Landsdown Road, Bournemouth Image

In my area of research, femicide, there was a common theme threatening the safety of girls and women in Epping and nearby areas.

It wasn't "illegal migrants", whatever that's supposed to mean, or immigrants of any description.

I'll go through murders of women and girls. /1 Image
The most famous abduction and murder victim in the surrounding area:

Marie Denise Payne (4) abducted by stranger Colin James Evans (33) on March 11th, 1983 and body found in Epping Forest.

The search for Marie was the biggest operation of its kind in 1983.

R.I.P. Marie ❤️ Image
Judith Anne Knights (19) born on April 20th, 1969 and murdered in Epping Forest by boyfriend, Colin Goundry (18), on August 4th, 1989.

Judith was the beloved youngest child of Sydney and Cynthia Knights (née Pope) and was very close to her sister, Linda (24).

R.I.P. Judith ❤️ Image

Fox News aired a segment on crime in Ireland, specifically Dublin, on 'The Will Cain Show'.

The most brazen manipulation of statistics you're ever likely to see, lapped up by Trump-voters who don't care if something is true or not.

I'll counter this garbage with facts. /1
Quote: "In the city of Dublin where murder and assault attempts are surging."

Then the graphic claims "114% increase in Murder/Assault Attempts" and at the bottom states "Garda, Dublin Metropolitan Region".

Absolute rubbish.

I'll get to how they produced that "114%" number.
Firstly, there was an increase in murders in the Dublin Metropolitan Region in 2024.

2023: 12
2024: 13

One additional case of murder was recorded, which is not a 114% increase obviously.

13 murders in a population of 2.1 million people is one of the lower rates in the world. Image
