Fair play to the Gardai

    Was involved in an "altercation" beside Christchurch there the other day.

    Two drunk women were screaming at each other and bawling crying, thought something was up so drove around the block.

    By the time I'd cut up the side streets and back around, one of the women was trying to jump out onto passing cars, who were all going at a fair speed.

    I left the car in the lane and got out to get her off the road, in the time it took me to get onto the first lane of traffic she had now managed to jump on to a car's bonnet and wasn't letting go.

    Me gf and the startled driver were both ringing the Gardai at this stage as I tried to coax yer wan, who now was screaming kill me, off the car while not getting hit.

    As me gf shouted at me that she had rang the Gardai I could already hear the sirens.

    3 Gardai pulled up and immediately took control. The two lads getting her off the road and safely subdued while I filled in the girl on the story.

    They handled it very well and I must compliment them as yer wan was hysterical the whole way through.

    I know for most members this is probably nothing but hey I thought I'd share me experience.

    Good story op. Fair play to yourself and the rest

    If the Gardai were doing their job properly this would never have happened in the first place. Have they never heard of crime prevention?


















































    :P

    In before someone relates this to Bertie and the Bankers and how everyone in the Public Service is overpaid....

    I watched from a distance on Stephens Night as two lads kicked lumps outta each other but when the Guards turned up they united against them in typical scumbaggy fashion. The cops took fierce abuse but still manage to send them on their separate ways. One reason why I could never do the job, no patience. I'd probably have them and everyone else within a 1 mile radius bet with my truncheon. :(
