I've just punched a child

OU812 · 09-11-2012 9:52am #1

Heading into work, headphones on, head down. A kid about 10 or 12 stepped in front of me @ said something. Took off the headphones & he pulled a knife out & said "gimme yet f**ken' money & phone or F**ken' I'll stick ya".

I've never hit anyone before, don't know where it came from but I just lashed out, punched him straight in the face & he ended up on his back. I legged it & am sitting here, feeling like I'm gonna puke with a very sore hand & legs like jelly.

Maximus Alexander · 09-11-2012 9:53am

Nicely done!

gobnaitolunacy · 09-11-2012 9:54am

You've just punched a miniature scumbag, congrats.

So you came out of mugging unhurt, well done.

elefant · 09-11-2012 9:54am

nice

phasers · 09-11-2012 9:54am

Should have kicked the little cunt too

postitnote · 09-11-2012 9:54am

Self defence, perfectly justified. Maybe he'll change his ways. I think i'd have done the same.

listermint · 09-11-2012 9:54am

If true, well played sir!

you should have sat on him and called the guards.

Sunnyisland · 09-11-2012 9:55am

Didn't think the robbers be out this time of the morning, Well done OP and may your hand get better.

sheikhnguyen · 09-11-2012 9:55am

Don't feel bad in the slightest. You did the correct thing. A knife is a weapon in anyone's hand be it a fully grown adult or a child. Have a cup of tea with a few spoons of sugar in it and you'll be grand.

Musefan · 09-11-2012 9:56am

You did what you needed to protect yourself!

On a serious note: keep warm & have some sugary tea and a bite to eat. Sounds like you are in shock!

SuperGrover · 09-11-2012 9:56am

What you actually did was maybe teach a potential career criminal the error of his ways. Well done.

dilapidating · 09-11-2012 9:56am

Bit early for a mugging.

Knowing how some scumbag families work - I would report this to the Garda ASAP

The little scrot will probably report you for attacking him / gbh

So get your report in first. Any witnesses or CCTV in the area?

FearDark · 09-11-2012 9:57am

I once kicked a sleeping dog.
Is this a confession thread?

Big Nasty · 09-11-2012 9:57am

Nice work OP.

If a few more of them were on the receiving end at a young age like that they might rethink their ways.

ftlnn · 09-11-2012 9:58am

Natural feeling that....

Alternative was to be nursing a stab wound with no phone or money.

Don't feel guilt anyone who threatens you in that way deserves a good slap!

AngryLips · 09-11-2012 9:58am

Where did this happen? Fairplay

Nah never to early - it's AH after all

The Big Red Button · 09-11-2012 9:59am

I'd report the incident to the guards asap, if you haven't already.

Son Of A Vidic · 09-11-2012 9:59am

Well done OP, but you should have kicked him in the face.

johnwest288 · 09-11-2012 10:00am

Tips hat to OP;)

blurch · 09-11-2012 10:00am

Well done sir, Now treat yourself to a hearty breakfast for a job well done

that's the best news I've heard all week. Fair play to you.

maameeo · 09-11-2012 10:13am

hopefully you thought him a lesson and he'll think twice before he does that again!

oh i wish there was cctv, be awesome to watch that!

KKkitty · 09-11-2012 10:14am

You felt threatened so you lashed out. Well done to you.

You kicked a dog just because it fancied a new hair colour?

OldGoat · 09-11-2012 10:18am

My daughter was a right cow to get out to school this morning. OP, if I PM you details will you punch her in the face for me?

Oh and my boss need a slap too.
Cheers.

He had a knife at that age? Sheesh.....

I think the law might allow self-defence, but lets not discuss legal matters, its not for forums to discuss legal matters

BillyMitchel · 09-11-2012 10:18am

Put the ear phones back in, look for some Rocky music and dance around the office shadow boxing thinking you're the shìt, singing to yourself "you're the best around, nothing's ever gonna keep you down, your the best around".

If the boss says anything just chin the kant.

Cienciano · 09-11-2012 10:19am

OP, did some auld wan shout "Ah here, leave it out" as you did it?

Big Nasty · 09-11-2012 10:23am

I really hope someone caught this on video and it becomes the next youtube sensation.

OP did you call the boys in blue yet? Also watch yourself on the way home.

But how does one punch a badger?

Ush1 · 09-11-2012 10:27am

Well, he did have a knife, child or not.

gifted · 09-11-2012 10:30am

As the little fu**er was on the ground you should have kicked him in the spine, keep kicking him until you hear it snap and then every time you see the little c**t in the wheelchair just smile at him...and then tell him he needs to work on his manners

littleredspot · 09-11-2012 10:32am

He deserved it but I'd walk a different way to work for the next while and report it to the guards.
Friend of mine was mugged by 2 knife wielding cnuts at 9am on a Sunday morning on Clanbrassil st. recently. Always assumed they didn't get out of bed till lunchtime.

Nicely done..I logged in just to thank this post!!

dave1982 · 09-11-2012 10:34am

little bastard got what he deserved, hopefully he'll think twice before approaching someone again.

Sadly he'll probably move onto little old ladies next.

I'd report it aswell to be on the safe side, your life was threatened and you defended yourself and walked away from the situation.

You don't want the guards calling to your work looking for you.Someone who might not have seen the whole story probably just seen you punch a child.

pauldla · 09-11-2012 10:38am

OP, maybe take a different route to and from work for a few days. Just in case. And, as others have said, it might be a good idea to report the incident to the guards.

You have to Set about it the right way.

spoofilyj · 09-11-2012 10:40am

Fair play, you were threathened, your subconcious took over, saw the threat and responded.

have some sugary tea or coffee and a bite to eat and all will be well.

Once you have calmed down and are back to normal, give the Guards a call and give them a description, most likely you're not the first to be threathened by this little ****e!

BBDBB · 09-11-2012 10:41am

"Knife wielding Midget Chef attacked by have a go hero"
