Crazy men

    Well yesterday myself and three friends of mine were sitting on a bench just in the community park as we normally do chatting away. This drunk fella came up shaking a large stick with nails sticking out of it at us. He starts going on about his plans to kill some fella as we got up to leave he raises the stick and says "I'll kill you too" Got pretty freaked out and ran towards the guards station. So anyways two squad cars go down take the fella away and tell us to go down and make a statement about it the following day.
    So I was just wondering has anyone else had an experience with some mad fella like this and how did they handle it?

    A stick with a nail in it. Classic!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,604 ✭✭✭herbieflowers


    They'll make bigger boards and bigger nails, and soon, they will make a board with a nail so big, it will destroy them all!

    Was walking back from primary school once and this big fella walks behind us. Mom took a look at him and grabbed her handbag, because she 'didn't like the look of him'. I looked at her like she was an idiot. Literally a few seconds later, half a dozen marked police cars and around 5 unmarked screech along the road to a halt and (honestly) dozens of coppers jumped out and leapt at this bloke behind, pushing us out the way.

    So he was probably a bit crazy.


    Haven't had anyone threaten to kill me though - well, none that I think would actually do it :P

    Ah now I'm not tarring no-one just men like him
    The sad thing is he seemed to have a dog with him but when he was taken away it just sat there wondering what to do with himself :(

    I had a very similar experience a yours OP.

    To cut a long story short, I went and got a bigger stick with bigger nails and went back and beat him with it. That investigation lasted for weeks but without a body there never was a case.

    I've met some seriously whacked out people in my time, and I mean SERIOUSLY whacked out.
    I've met some right nutters that were indoctrinated into a cult that were so far gone - that if they were standing outside in daylight and was told it was day time, they were so brainwashed into thinking that everyone outside their cult lies, they'd convince themselves it was actually dark!

    I've met face to face, some religious fundamentalists in foreign countries up close that think everything outside their religion is pure unadulterated evil and should be wiped from the face of the earth. They saw it in their eyes that it was their god given role to do it too!

    Depressingly at home too i have met some right nutters that deserve to be locked up for the rest of their days - and they are walking the streets legally.

    There is no explaining the way things work or pan out sometimes.
    All you can do is keep your head down and duck the bullets as they come!

    I was in Kerry recently, we'd just bought a few Body Boards and this crazy old man said to us *dons kerry accent* 'Is that Bread? Are you making a sandwich?!'

    Pretty crazy.

    So the lady drove faster, but the strange car kept banging into her from behind... So she swerved off the road into the woods, and lost the other car. And then, she realized that the man in the other car wasn't trying to hurt her. No, he was trying to warn her... about the ax-wielding maniac hiding in her back seat!

    And you know how I know?

    Because... *I* was that maniac.

    How dare you say that me and my law abiding friends were out on a glorious day which doesn't come around too often when someone who was clearly in the wrong stumbled along our path causing a scene, threatening and carrying a weapon? well if you say so we were the baddies in this one I'll hand myself in tomorrow

    Happened to me, and I did what any sane person would do. I went onto the internet looking for advice. Unfortunately it brought me here.

    I did also google "Crazy Women", but it returned 21,500,000 results from googles auto fill. None listed for men. So by the law of averages, that "man" may in fact have been an ugly lady. With a stick. With a nail in it.

    If you'd given her some chocolate and a hug she probably would have been fine.

    You sure he wasn't just saying "i'll kill u2".
    Bono can be a bit of a prick.

    Plus i heard their recent gig was a bit lacklustre- probably just a pi$$ed off fan. :pac:

    Good luck with the operation.
    Its a bit drastic,but i suppose we could put off the hanging trial till you get all your bits and pieces sorted out.

    I was up in the town of Mullingar back in the eighties with a few friends. There was some festival on there it was a Sunday evening and the pubs were packed. We were drinking outside the pub. This drunk fella was swaying around the place and knocked over and broke a pint glass on one of the tables as the owner was collecting the glasses. After he broke the glass the owner went over to him without saying anything and gave the drunk a right hook under the jaw. The drunk was fairly pissed off with him but before he could straighten himself up the owner was gone back into the pub. Anyway the drunk went away and came back a few minutes after with a big lump of a 4' stake roaring like a mad c**t, he went over towards the pub and flung the stake at it. The stake went straight for the door and luckily enough the door was closed and no one was coming out at the time. We were saying after that the owner of the pub was more wrong than the drunk as it only cost 30p to replace the glass, if he left the drunk alone nothing would have happened.
