stoning an ambulance

alfa beta

From the RTE website this morning - in usual 'halloween emergency call outs' article.

An ambulance was stoned by a group of youths as paramedics returned to Beaumont Hospital with a patient

I just don't get it - why would anyone, no matter how moronic, throw stones at an ambulance....?

I mean is their a twisted skanger logic that sits behind such an attack?

Maybe someone can enlighten me - then again maybe they can't....

Scumbags. Simple as that.

I don't get it either op. It's the same with the fire service. Even though I certainly would not condone violence towards police I can understand that certain members of society see them as just "ruining their fun". Is that they just see flashing lights and see a target of opportunity?

Firemen should pull up to their houses and burn them down.

When they come running out of their houses the paramedics should then kick the shìte out of them and stick defibrillators up their arses set at the highest settings.

Light the little fùckers up like a Xmas tree.

Ambulance/Fire crews should have an extra man on board for halloween, armed with a shotgun loaded with beanbag rounds. Anyone throwing stones at the ambulance gets a beanbag round to the chest. Problem solved.

Not sure about the ambulance having a bean bag gun. :eek: It's an ambulance after all, their priority is to get people to the hospital pronto. Fire brigades on the other hand should be free to use a colour dyed water cannon and rubber bullets at will.
Anyone injured in such situations should be refused ambulance service and arrive in hospital as a walk in wounded. Let them go home or where ever else they might want to go after their hi jinks red handed, and clothed. :pac:

Kids like that should be removed to state care. Their parents are clearly doing it wrong. Take em away and raise em half right, while docking Mr and Mrs scumhole's welfare payments to cover some of the cost.

I hate knackers. I think ambulances and fire engines should be equipped with a gunner cabin so the little fcukers can be taken out for good.

They'd be the type of people who'd be straight on the phone looking for an ambulance or a fire truck if a problem arose.

No, they're the kind of low life who phone Adrian Kennedy to complain about police brutality after getting hit because they threw a petrol bomb at the fire brigade.

To be quite fair, I think that applies to anyone who has access to a phone.

I don't know Halloween just brings out the stupid in people

It's just such a scummy thing to do- usually I can understand the motive if the activity is even slightly fun or entertaining.
How on earth is wrecking and endangering an emergency vehicle in any way funny? Like what's the entertainment value in potentially stopping an ill or injured person from getting treatment?
It scares me when I truly can't understand even a little bit how these sub-humans think...

the thing about modern defibrilators that paramedics use is that they won't shock if they detect some rhythm, so they'll have to kill them first!

A lot of the time the parents are just as bad. I take my kids to my mothers for Halloween cause it's usually much quieter and kids can trick or treat without fireworks been thrown at them. When i got home, about half 8, there were 4 fathers throwing bangers and fireworks at each other with a bunch of their kids running around.

back on topic. This is why I think there should be minimum sentancing for people who attack first responders. Especially Fire and ambulance.

I agree completely. A mandatory 6 month jail term should be imposed for anyone caught doing this. This shouldn't exclude young teenagers.

An ambush was also set up for the fire brigade last night. You would wonder what kind of thoughts go through these "peoples" heads at times to do such a thing. they're like stupid dogs that get angry when the see the hoover, some of these knackers actually get angry when they see Fire Fighters and Paramedics.

Watch this (skip to 18:30 minutes into it) http://www.rte.ie/player/ie/show/10065283/ to see the kind of shíte emergency services have to put up with. It genuinly looks like something out of Afghanistan.

Only a few months ago in N.I, an ambulance was surounded by a huge group of people and attacked, rocked, stoned etc....for no reason what so ever. This happens all year around, not just halloween.

I remember an incident in a bad neighborhood a few years ago, when the fire brigade showed up to put out a bonfire. Some scumbag floored one of the firemen with the hose, and began to beat the **** out of him, punching him in the face repeatedly on the ground. Why? For the craic. Those type of people dont deserve to have Emergency Services. When their house is burning, and their mother is trapped inside they should be told no, **** off.

And of course the attack on ES bill was rejected by the morons in government only a few days ago.

They thought it was an ice cream that was ignoring them.

A honest mistake any of us could make after a surfeit of cider, yokes, and Tamazepam.

Who's rights ? Parents rights to raise their kids to be scum ? Or the kids rights to be raised in a stable environment ?

If the kids are not being taken care of (as they cant be if they are out in crowds at night firing stones at ambulances) then the state is obliged to intervene as far as I see. Remove kids from the care of scumbags and they will be less likely to become scumbags.

They'll stone you when you're trying to be so good
They'll stone you just like they said they would
They'll stone you when you're trying to go home
They'll stone you when you're there all alone
But I would not feel so all alone
Everybody must get stoned

They'll stone you when you're walking on the street
They'll stone you when you're trying to keep your seat
They'll stone you when your walking on the floor
They'll stone you when your walking to the door
But I would not feel so all alone
Everybody must get stoned

They'll stone you when you're at the breakfast table
They'll stone you when you are young and able
They'll stone you when you're trying to make a buck
They'll stone you and then they'll say good luck
But I would not feel so all alone
Everybody must get stoned

Well They'll stone you and say that it's the end
They'll stone you and then they'll come back again
They'll stone you when you're riding in your car
They'll stone you when you're playing you guitar
Yes But I would not feel so all alone
Everybody must get stoned

Like this?

staker

I threw a snowball at a tradesman's van windscreen driving pastme when I was no more than a nipper. He duly screeched to a stop,chased me over a ditch and kicked me a few good ones up the hole.
For good measure he marched me up to my front door (forcibly too) and handed me over to the father who had his say with me as well.:D
Not advocating brutality but that was the last time I interfered with others' property.A good hiding wouldn't go astray now and again with regards to these muppets imo.

There should be mandatory minimum sentences (fines, criminal records etc)for attacking or assaulting any emergency worker. Even extending it to bus/train drivers.

Or, even better, every ambulance should have one of Jimmy Savile's mates on-board (you know, one of those types) and every feral teenager who fooks a rock should get fooked right back. Literally.

I really hope it isn't a sign of things to come?!?! If kids (of whatever age), throw stones at an ambulance...what kind of planet will live in when they reach adult age? It's bad enough now, but wth individuals like that being amongst the general population in 10 yrs time...Christ!
