    the rumour is that house was when built everything was got on tick, but they then refused to pay for anything. told the builders merchants to feck off.

    Only heard the other day about said house !! Planning permission had been denied by previous owners of site for whatever reasons. Purchased by the now owners and again denied upon which if rumors are true they paraded into the council office with a deal !! Grant the planning permission or there be a convoy of caravans on the land !!

    If a person pulls a gun, whether legally or not, and you're dumb enough to grab them by the tie.....you deserve to get shot, IMO. Why would you want to get into a 'bit of a scuffle' with an armed guard? :confused:

    Don’t think this was explained to the dog

    The dog was being used as a weapon by the traveller, exactly what do you think the guard should have done to defend himself, offered the little doggie a treat?

    He had no uniform on, and I don’t see a badge, how was the dog to know he was a guard?

    It's really simple if you use your dag as a weapon in the presence of an armed guard bad things may happen to your dag.

    it's really the holder of the weapon who should be shot

    you don't shoot a gun or a knife out of someone's hand

    You neutralise the immediate threat, in this case it was the dag.

    A gun or knife is disabled if you shoot the person.
    The only way to disable a dog if all you have to defend yourself is a gun is shoot it. At that point you no longer have the right of reasonable force to shoot the person.

    No respect for an armed guard, and if the rumours were true he was carrying a slashook. He's not out for an evening stroll.

    Fcuk him, its his own fault.

    Just a shame the dog was punished for his owners fcukaboutery.

    "Allegedly" there is a connection to this with the parties involved.

    I know the guard, he's as straight up as you'd get. I'd genuinely be concerned for his families well being, he has a number of young kids and his house is fairly rural, as is his elderly parents farm. These absolute vermin have no problem with a bit of the ould arson. A zero tolerance approach is whats required when it comes to dealing with the dregs of society.

    I hope the Gardaí provide support and protection to him and his family. As we have seen in the past, these people keep grudges for years, and are addicted to violence. This man's bravery needs to be rewarded, not punished.
