    No, what did he do?


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 8,632 ✭✭✭darkman2


    He ran up too the camera and started shouting at the reporter saying he was gonna shoot him


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 6 walt0r07


    Yeah, I was just about to post about it. Absolutely hillarious! Some scumbag just comes up to the reporter with his hand in teh form of a gun shouting "I'll ****ing blow your head off you ****ing muppeh!!!"


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 8,632 ✭✭✭darkman2

    Another day, another scumbag muppet. What a tool. Should be arrested just for being that stupid.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 6 walt0r07


    He covered his face with his hood for a bit, but he was clearly visible coming up to the camera behind the reporter, he should get arrested for it, had to have been off his face on something...

    Its a well known fact that television cameras turn people into utter retards. Big Brother and sporting events have long provided proof.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 8,632 ✭✭✭darkman2


    He obviously felt comfortable being able to be thick right outside the Garda station aswell:rolleyes:

    I was even watching the TV3 news....why do I always walk out of the room at worst moment?I always miss these things.

    Which reporter was it?I can imagine some handling it differently to others.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 8,632 ✭✭✭darkman2


    Give it time give it time:rolleyes: :rolleyes:

    Of course it wont end up on youtube for two reasons:


    1. what percentage of the population actually takes time out to watch TV3 news (I was only flicking through, honest!)


    2. who in their right mind would record it:rolleyes:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,243 ✭✭✭kelle


    It might be shown on the later news?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,330 ✭✭✭Gran Hermano


    Feck, sounds like TV3 actually had a program showing Irish people
    as opposed to something they bought from ITV and I missed it.

    Jerome Hughes, I think it was. And he didn't handle it all that well, he basically just froze.

    Seen similar things happen before to Australian reporters and the Aussies definitely aren't afraid to get into a scrap with any muppet who gets up in their faces! Great fun to watch! :D Can't really picture Charlie Bird or Brian Dobson doing the same and getting into a punching match with some scanger, though! :rolleyes:

    I bet that dobson would surprise us all though!

    Don't blame the cameras, the people are already retards, when the camera is on, it's just their time to shine.

    I doubt they would repeat a piece where some tard came up to the camera and abused the reporter.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,046 ✭✭✭democrates


    What's needed here is a reporters mic with a built in tazar, heh heh heh. Probably best I say no more on account of my imagination having a history of scaring people.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 25,243 ✭✭✭✭Jesus Wept


    That's a great idea, cause the scummer would probably make a grab for the mic anyhow.

    Maybe someone with Sky+ could have used live rewind and saved it.

    Would love to see this... :D

    Just had a quick scan of youtube, can't find it! :(


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,698 ✭✭✭InFront


    Saw this yesterday, I thought he was about to smack that reporter. I thought the reporter handled it quite well. Well, at least he didn't scream anyway.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,082 ✭✭✭lostexpectation


    were they reporting on his case and he didn't like the camera there as he came out of court?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 270 ✭✭idlesupernova


    I think it was a report from the Wheelock inquest.

    Its toward the end that the simpleton makes his move.....


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 36,634 ✭✭✭✭Ruu_Old


    Jerome should have gave him a good hiding. :)


  • Posts: 0 [Deleted User]


    F**ckin scum, the reporter should have elbowed him in the face or something.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 88,972 ✭✭✭✭mike65


    I'd be mightly pissed off to take taken off-air so quickly before I could get my ninja styled revenge on the little gimp.

    Mike.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,485 ✭✭✭Thrill


    He'll watch it for hours on youtube and then tell his brainless buddies about how famous and hard he is, the stupid little twit.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,561 ✭✭✭Rhyme


    I like the way he pulls up his hood and then realises that he can't see.

    The crew should've bludgeoned him with the camera equipment.

    Why did he bother putting his hood up!? He must have had some cop on to know he was on camera before he put it up.

    Cop on and morons don't go hand in hand.
