Was i right or wrong

Specialun

Herself isnt talking to me over this but i still think i was right

We were in the park this morning.we went early before the kids soccer matches kicked off.herself was running and I was playing with the dog.there was 3 dudes playing hurling.around 22ish.they hitbthe sliotar into middle of nowhere and my dog ran and nicked it. Ran after her and she ran.

One of the gus started running after her losing the plot.the asshole swung his hurley at her a few times.luckily she was too fast for him.he easily swung it at her 3 times

To cut the story short i caught the dog and went to give the sliotar back.i apolgised and said that he shouldnt swing the hurley atbthe dog as he would hurt the dog.he then says "f uck you mate.your c unt of a dog nicked my ball". Again i apolgised and said she was wrong to which he repled "if she does it again next time i wont miss" i lost it and punched him and he landed on his hole.

His mates walked over and i just strolled away

Im not too sure i i was wrong to hit the guy but he just ticked me off with his remarks.he shouldnt have swung the hurley at a young dog who was clearly messing

P.s before i get the smart comment i did boxing when i was in my teens so thats how ive a strong punch

Was I right or wrong AH

bmwguy

Right. Set up a poll and show your missus. There will be a few on their high horse saying you must never hit anybody, for any reason. Ignore them

Your post says you know you were wrong so the question is pointless.

purpur1

Definitely right. He deserved it for continuing to be a p*ick even after you apologised. Fair play to you.

Auntie Psychotic

Dead right.
That wanker deserved the slap.

cd07

You did the right thing man young lads these days are just jumped up little pricks always mouthing off. As you apologised the little prick shoud have just said forget about it.

Clandestine

I think he deserved it

errlloyd

From your missus point of view she's just worried three lads with hurley are gonna beat the crap out of you.

But if you felt you could take them, you did the right thing.

cw67irl

He definitely deserved it

tacofries

Right. You were tryin to be a nice guy but yer man choose to be a persistent c#nt!
At first I thought he was chasin your wife with a hurl hahahA

Timmyctc

Im not 100% sure i was wrong if im honest.

freeze4real

Doesn't matter if you did boxing or not you shouldn't have swung at him.

It could be a different out come if you did what you just did. Like the guy suffering from end injuries or 3 of his mates beating the crap out if you.

McGeezerr

Dead right, and if his three mates done **** all about it that just goes to show that they are more than likely all talk

kneemos

Can't go belting people just cos they say a few words to you,thought boxing was supposed to teach self control?

S28382

You were bang on to punch the pr*ck.

McDermotX

Right thing to do.

Your man was never gonna back down even with your apology.

Your dog had dissed him, right in front of his mates, making him look a right dipstick. The scumbag code requires him to big himself in front of his 'crew', so 'no apology will do'.

Think David Attenborough done a feature on it before.

whats this thread about

You were right in that the Hurley guy overreacted but you were wrong to hit him as you did.

Would love to hear the other side of this story.

eviltwin

I would have let it go tbh, you're lucky the three of them didn't decide to take the sticks to your head. It could have ended up a lot worse. The guy was a prick though.

He swung his hurley numerous times at my young dog.

fergiesfolly

Why wasn't your dog on a leash.

scruffmonkey

He was a prick but you had the dog secured at that point, you had no right to assault him.

and missed.

So all we really know at this point is that he's not a very good hurler.

BQQ

So the guy did a bit of cursing and swearing.
Big deal. He was rightly pissed off that you didn't control your dog and his sliotar got covered in dog slobber.
He didn't even hit your bloody dog, and you think that was the right response.

You're lucky you didn't get a hiding imo.

You'd probably get a story alright. The other guy seems like he was good on talking and not so good on action.

I let her loose so she can run around and play with other dogs

eviltwin

Steady!

Siuin

Just be glad you don't get charged with assault.

Prodigious

Although I think he deserved it, normal people don't hit people for something so small. So chances are you're a dickhead.

Zebra3

Your uncontrolled animal in a public place stole his property (probably damaging it).

You apologised and he merely forewarned you about what would happen if the situation occurred again.

You overreacted and I hope you're facing criminal charges.

You said in your OP you went over early before the kids football match began

Siuin

Unless it's self defence, you're never justified in hitting someone no matter what they say to you.

kowloon

If he'd made contact with the dog it's open season as far as I'm concerned. Just be happy he missed and doggy can play another day.

TINA1984

You sound like a right scumbag. You should have kept the dog on a leash if it was a public place as that's the law and you don't have special dispensation to ignore it if you feel like it.

Hopefully the person has rang the Gardai and you'll be caught and done for assault. Where was this park as a matter of interest....

Fighting Irish

You shouldn't have hit him, yes he was being a d1ck, but then again he shouldn't have to deal with your dog

McDermotX

Whatever about other legalities around whether it was an off-leash park etc etc...............................I'm fairly certain there's no law governing dogs stealing property, but I'm sure attempted assault on an animal does have some fallout.
As does smacking people......however satisfying it may be.

eviltwin

I bet the dog is a pitbull isn't it?

Not my kids.there is a few soccer pitches there so kds from 10 up to adults pay matches there

UrbanSea

Dead right. Hope he got his nose broken, big man going for a dog.

JonathanAnon

Where is the third option: We were both wrong to let our dog run loose, without a muzzle, in a public place..

i'm on my high horse because I disagree with some knacker who thinks he can break the law when he feels like it?
