Elephants in battle

A war elephant was a military elephant that had been trained and guided by humans. The main purpose of the war elephant was to assault the enemy, break their ranks, and terrorise and terrify them. Elephantry refers to military formations that use elephants to transport troops. [1] In antiquity, war elephants played a crucial role in a number of significant wars, particularly in Ancient India. While they were only used on a limited and irregular basis in ancient China, they were a permanent staple in the armies of historical Southeast Asian kingdoms. They were also used in ancient Persia and the Mediterranean globe by Macedonian troops, Hellenistic Greek nations, the Roman Republic and later Empire, and Carthage in North Africa during classical antiquity. Throughout the Middle Ages, they had a strong presence on the battlefield in several areas. However, when rifles and other gunpowder weapons became more common in early modern combat, their use declined. Following this, war elephants

A man hijacks Ashling Murphy's vigil with a vulgar sex act, causing fury.

Over 80 people had joined the online vigil and debate, which was organised by activist Evie Nevin for anyone who couldn't make it to a physical vigil.



On Sunday evening, an online vigil for the late Ashling Murphy was hijacked by a man who looked to be masturbating while a conversation about gender-based violence was going place.

When the man arrived in the all-women vigil hosted on Zoom using the name and email of one of the other guests, journalist Christine O'Mahony, Rose Marie Maughan was in the middle of a speech.

After his screen appeared to show a man masturbating, he was swiftly taken from the call.

The memorial was conducted in honour of Ashling Murphy, a 23-year-old teacher who was slain while out jogging in Tullamore at 4 p.m. last Wednesday.

Over 80 individuals participated in the online vigil and debate, which was organised by activist Evie Nevin for those who were unable to attend a physical vigil.

Ms Maughan was furious in the aftermath: "In my entire existence as a woman, I have never been more humiliated or enraged. During an online vigil, a male decided it was acceptable to masturbate while women expressed their sadness, rage, and love for a dead lady."

"We were conducting an online vigil for Ashling and someone chose to join on the zoom call and masturbate in front of us. I am utterly done, how could someone be that horrible!" Ms O'Mahony tweeted.

"We can't even have a vigil without some total sh*t hijacking with his honestly awful looking p*** on show," said Emma Langford, a musician who attended. I'm beyond enraged.

"To break in, mimic a panellist, and disrupt another while she passionately speaks about the brutal theft of innocent lives... I'm so tired of the idiotic army of males shrieking that THEY ARE NOT flashers, abusers, or murders.

Congratulations for achieving the bare minimum of human decency. Start calling your scumbag buddies out, because I'm sure this person has friends, and he's been encouraged and empowered to do this by others. "I'm ill to my stomach."

Gardai are expected to be contacted in connection with the incident.
