Horrible sexual assault at "Kneecap" concert in Galway

This is just NOT acceptable. Whether he was on drugs, drunk, or simply "horny", whoever did this should be put behind bars.

Not ok ever? That's tonight's plans out the window.

Well am I the only person who thinks it hilarious that a man was running around with his dick out at a concert? He assaulted women with it? Was he knocking them over with it or what?

Yeah what a legend. Assaulting women too apparently.

I know this is AH. But seriously, saying that a dude whipping his dick and and assaulting women is hilarious.

What are you, 14.

I think the notice says it all, no need to get outraged on anyone else's behalf.

How do I know? And what does it matter?

Please explain what level of assault on a woman you think is ok from a guy with his dick out.

There's a difference between whipping his dick out and doing helicopters and whipping his dick out and assaulting female concert goers.

Assault is the word used in the statement so must have been fairly serious. I'm astounded at the posters that can not actually grasp that.

Thelonious Monk

Yeah ok I'll spend the rest of my day being outraged. I hope everyone who attended the concert receives free counselling.

So you don't know if any assault happened?

Yawn. For all you know nothing happened and 'kneecap' made it up for publicity.

Begone troll. Off to the ignore list you go.

What annoys me about this is a crowd on Twitter saying when it happened that "the band need to come out and say that it's not OK and condemn it!" Such a senseless, rabble-rousing load of a crap. It's sexual assault. It's a criminal act. Normal people don't need to be told or reminded by a band that it's not OK to take your genitals out at a concert and sexually assault other concert goers with them.

In fact the OP is exactly the same. "It's not acceptable!" Eh, of course it isn't? What's next, public notices advising people that murder is not OK the next time someone's shot dead in Dublin?

People who do this kind of crap know it's wrong and do it anyway. Gentle reminders don't stop this type of thing from happening. Some of the comments on twitter were dangerously warped. One said, in response to a post by someone saying they had been attacked by the guy mentioned in the OP, "why are all men such trash".

Thelonious Monk

Yes aren't we glad someone posted something about something very vague with no context online to tell us that sexual assault of women is not ok?

The way that statement is worded makes it seem like a lad waved his mickey around. Not nice but if that is what it was, then it's a stretch to call it assault.

I don't see any mention of it anywhere else online apart from that statement.

Would it also be an assault if a girl took her top off and waved her boobs at people?
I mean obviously she'd be a dirty harlot, but is it assault?
