Gardai Special Operation pays off

RasTa · 09-10-2017 06:50PM #1

Laughing away at this as the older lad delivers milk to my house. Why on earth would the Gardai set up a special operation regarding this, seems a waste of time and surprised it made the news.

You wouldnt think it a waste of time if your house was getting egged would you?

Special operation me arse, the guards knew the time and route they take, they just stopped them on the road, one squad car and 2 guards.
Plus it's a retired lady being target by 3 scumbags, why wouldn't they investigate and resolve?

RasTa · 09-10-2017 06:54PM

I wouldn't call the Gardai anyway.

Special operation: Sergeant to Garda "Old Mrs Kelly at number 23 was in again. She's getting afraid that these egg throwers are out to get her. Keep an eye on the area will you? It seems to happens between 3 and 4pm. Spin round that way the odd time".

Yeah, sounds hilarious......

The men targeted one house in particular and did not realise the impact their behaviour was having on the retired lady living there, who was in considerable fear, a court heard.

....feckin' numpties.

You are not an elderly lady alone in her house with scumbags throwing eggs at your house at 3 in the morning.

RasTa · 09-10-2017 06:59PM

I have egged elderly ladies houses as a youth. I know their crimes.

Then shame on you.

Egging your customers houses, at 19 and 32. I can see why they put the "Special" in "Special Operation"

Well done, champ.

Must have been great craic picking on vulnerable people for your own amusement......why not egg the Garda station......or the local halting site......or is it just better fun to egg those who can't chase after you?

RasTa · 09-10-2017 07:04PM

I got caught and got a deserved beat down by eldery ladies son. Learned and never did that again

These aren't youths out having a laugh at Halloween. They're 19 and 32 year old men who are meant to be doing their job and providing a service; not egging the house of an elderly lady and leaving her fearful in her own home.
They're absolute idiots of the highest order.

Of course, it reminded me of it. Although I was 11 when i was doing it.

I do find it hilarious that my milkmen were going around egging houses.

Indeed and they have being caught, publicly named and shamed but no that's not enough. Maybe a few years in jail would serve them right, correct?

A couple of years in jail would probably be excessive all right. However a public outing of these two monumental morons sound about right.

Who but a monumental moron would think throwing eggs at an elderly persons house was funny?

Yeah, I'm sure it was great fun for the elderly ladies whose houses he mentioned egging......

.......maybe the judge should've given the guys in this particular case the Probation Act and told the woman in question to get over herself?

You're the one who started the thread- did you only want people to agree with you or what?
They won't get jail but they deserve a good public shaming. What utter imbeciles. And your attitude of "ah sure it's grand I did the same myself", isn't helping their case or making you look particularly great either.

Is everyone taking stupid pills?

They didn't deliberately target an old ladies house? They targeted the easiest house on their route whom they obviously didn't deliver eggs too and had no idea an old lady lived there.

A public outing and shaming is about right........and the best thing is the OP is making sure the story circulates much wider than it probably would have......

.......well done him

It must be hard to go around in life being perpetually outraged.

It's very easy on the internet. Anyway I've had my fun and it's game time.

BattleCorp · 09-10-2017 07:32PM

Ah yeah. It's eggs now. It'll be petrol bombs next. Then pipe bombs. Then thermonuclear devices.

I'm rarely outraged......I'm not even outraged now.......

......I think it's quite nice to see a bit of karma.

....egging houses at their age doesn't generate outrage, it generates hilarity - that they were stupid enough to do it, and get caught.

As I said........feckin' numpties.
