    You do whatever he tells you to do unless you can get away from the situation or 100% come out on top.

    Well if he's got a knife I most def wouldn't try piss him off!! Is this during the day or night? During the day near a busy street I'd just run to where there's people and if its night I'd try the same (except maybe easier to lose him by hiding), otherwise I'd prob just give him what he wants cause it better than being stabbed!!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,339 ✭✭✭Artful_Badger


    Disarm and subdue them Steven Seagal style.

    Would anyone really do the chicken option?.

    If so, then we could get some trucks,some pitch forks and have us a good old fashion scum down.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 81,220 ✭✭✭✭biko


    Kick him in the face.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,394 ✭✭✭SCOOP 64

    I'd love to say that I would do something more heroic but I would certainly comply while looking for a way to get away or distract the attacker so I could get away.

    A poster above hit the nail on the head though, getting to a crowd would be an ideal means to 'escape'.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,299 ✭✭✭✭MadsL


    Is it a child? If so just hit him. Then post on boards for instant fame.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,224 ✭✭✭DellyBelly


    I've done some martial art training so I'd be fairly confident I'd be able to take them down. Although hopefully I'll never have to be in that situation

    Nope, not a child.

    hes a bigger man than you, and looks much stronger than you too.


  • Moderators, Technology & Internet Moderators Posts: 4,621 Mod ✭✭✭✭Mr. G


    Kick him in the knees and stomach really really really hard. Get him down on his knees.

    Then shout as loud as you can and say he's just attacked and threatened you.

    Are his teeth pointy or normal?

    I'd ring a friend and that friend would be the guy from here that knocked a kid out after a knife was taken out.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11,255 ✭✭✭✭Esoteric_


    I'd assume it's a sexy kidnap fantasy being acted out in response to the ads I posted online, so I'd act meek and scared while secretly being aroused.

    Has anyone called Trent?

    He'd take no messing from this knife wielding maniac.

    Call for an airstrike and if that fails text Chuck Norris...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,462 ✭✭✭✭WoollyRedHat


    I'd just start singing this, and everything would be ok!


    Hey, why was that done to the beat of the reggae song actually? Throughout all my childhood watching Hey Arthur, I never noticed that until now. Surely a more pressing issue than what's being discussed.

    Are we allowed use our superpower?
    If so, I'd use my invisibility cloak, grab the knife, and the shoe would be on the other foot, so to speak.

    If not, call Chuck Norris.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 72 ✭✭ARWRanger


    We must DEFEAT every scumbag in Ireland, drive them out.

    DRIVE THEM OUT, every anti-social knacker scumbag needs to DYE.

    Tell him if he doesn't f**k off you'll ring Joe Duffy.

    Is kicking their wrist, causing the knife to fly up in the air, catching it then plunging it into their chest a poll option? No? Shame.

    To defeat scum and drive them out , what items and equipment do you need?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,466 ✭✭✭Clandestine


    I'd run for my f***ing life.

    The guy has a knife, not a stick, and that thing is deadly. I'd rather get out of the situation asap, a knife fight is nothing like you seen in the films. Its not going to be him taking slow slashes at me, it'll be quick and frenzied and i won't have the time nor the means to defend myself properly.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,593 ✭✭✭DoozerT6


    Being realistic for a minute, unless we have actually been in that situation, not ONE of us could say for definite what we would do - we might SAY 'I'd kick him in the nuts and stab him with the peak of his own scobie baseball cap' when in reality we might be unable to speak, wet ourselves, collapse in a heap on the ground, start crying and let him take whatever he wanted.

    Of course nobody is going to admit to that here, are they ;)


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 72 ✭✭ARWRanger


    http://www.rte.ie/radio1/liveline/ => Phone up Joe => Discuss about the amount of scum in Ireland => Last 7 days there have been a total of 6 stabbings by scummers,

    The Guards also do not have permission to defeat the scum

    Well, the thing is if this happens once or a couple of times to people with a good amount of class they will hunt them back down.... which is good, very good ;)

    I'm late 20s and stupidly when growing up I thought being tough or hard meant being able to handle yourself and standing your ground. In reality it means finding a deadly weapon and trying to use it on someone. Be it a knife, bat, gun or whatever. Ideally attacking from behind too.

    Quick someone give me a knife .. and would you be so kind to turn around :pac:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,166 ✭✭✭Fr_Dougal


    I'd take out my Uzi sub machine gun and shoot them, but I'd do it in a civil manner...otherwise I'd end up banned...if you know what I mean OP? Eh, eh?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,221 ✭✭✭NuckingFacker


    Anyone here been stabbed? I have, several times. It hurts. Someone pulled a knife on me when I was working as a doorman, they went to stab my stomach. I caught the blade, they pulled back and it cut off my thumb. That hurts. Others popped stanleys down my back when I wasn't looking. That also hurts. Another stuck one in my thigh and the blade broke off. That really hurts.

    I now have a severe dislike for people who pull knives and endeavour where possible to impress upon them the error of their ways through pre-emptive action.

    Generally speaking, if you are of average build, average fitness and average braveness, the absolutely hardest kick you can muster to the side of their nearest loadbearing knee is the most appropriate deterrent. Be as big as you like, if someone kicks your knee 6" sideways, you tend to lose interest in what you were doing and focus your attention on the fact your knee doesn't work anymore. You can then run like the clappers. They will probably have other concerns than pursuit. :) Or you can spend ages studying krav maga. Either or.

    Offer him counselling for his obviously deprived childhood! Turn the other cheek while he contacts his social worker and free legal aid. Support and nurture him while completing his conmmunity service!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,689 ✭✭✭Karl Stein


    I'd dress up as a sexy rabbit, seduce him and while he was swooning I'd whack him over the head with a frying pan and then run like the clappers.
