Scumbags

Well I was walking down Dawson St. just 15 minutes ago on my way to work, minding my own business. I noticed two shady looking characters about 30 years old standing in the doorway of some shop.

As I was walking past, one of the scumbags walked quickly out and swung his leg at my feet, in an attempt to trip me up or knock me over. There was no doubt whatsoever this is what he was trying to do. I stopped, turned back to him, heard him say "sorry bud" or some shíte like that. I put a foot behind him and pushed him over onto the ground. I'd never normally be violent, but this príck must have been doing this to lots of other people this morning already. I think he was shocked that I actually stood up to him. He went to take something out of his shirt pocket, im thinking a knife or something. I just walked away. I'm actually sorry know that I did'nt deck him properly.
How do scum like this think they're going to get away with doing things like that? What would have to be going through someone's head to do that for no reason? I hate scum :mad:

Nothing in their head, they're scum. Fair play to standing up to them, it's all they understand. None of this reasoning, disadvantaged background sh*t u here ppl goin on about. A few years back, on my school bus there was a lil scummer girl about 12 who wud start on all us 5th years and we would say stuff she didint understand and laugh at her. Idiot. Anyways, one day she smacks a lil first year girl in the face for no reason, so this big lad basically threw her down the bus stairs! Twas excellent, all you could hear was a scream and some bumps. We all denied seeing anything except for her slapping that kid and said we wanted to press abuse charges against her for all the times she started on us. That seemed to have taught her a lesson cos she never mouthed off after that, any time she sees me she puts her head down or says Hi. I say call in vigilantes n crack some skulls. We're def takin a step in the right direction

if you ask me I think all scumbags should be shipped onto some island maybe off the west coast and allow them to live there on their own and form their own little community. That'll learn 'em

Why ruin the west coast? Put them on Ireland's Eye (using a large catapult). That way we'd save on transportation costs, CO2 emissions, etc. Set up gun/observation towers on Lambay, Howth & Portmarnock. Bring in a few sharks (trained to eat anything in Nike, Burberry, etc.) to patrol the waters.

Dublin's very own Alcatraz. Problem solved.

Feck i'd love to start a day like that. Especially a Monday.

Strolling down the road in a bad mood, then suddenly the golden opportunity comes along to brighten up your day by taking it out on some absolute parasite of society.

You must have felt a lot better after that. I know I would.

Anyway. Has anyone noticed that Dublin has increased it's average scobe count per square mile? Int he last three years the number of naks roaming the city centre has increased imo.

I suppose walking with your knees bent outwards at a 45 degree angle whilst simultaneously talking on the phone and smoking a joint could be considered a skill of sorts.

Anyone want to set up a vigilante gang? Can you swing a sack of door knobs?

"Homer: All right, I'll be Cue Ball. Barney can be Eight Ball, Lenny will be Twelve Ball, and Moe, you'll be Cue Ball.

Moe: You're an idiot."

They spend hours in front of the mirror at home perfecting it.Likewise the women can steer a buggy through a crowded street with one hand whilst dragging a screeching three year old along with the other.Its important according to the scumbag book of etiquette NOT to hold the child by the hand (implying he was loved),but to hold the child midway up the top of the arm and to lift/drag him whilst simultaneously smoking and swearing.

I knew a lad that went to DCU, one night he was out with two other lads, walking home after the night out.

They got jumped by a guy wielding a knife looking for money. However he never kept his eye on all of them, and one managed to elbow him into the head, knock him down and take the knife off him.

They did beat 7 shades out of sh*t out of him, took his phone, watch, money and even his runners, while screaming something along the lines of "Who's mugging who now!".

Fair play to them.

what gets to me about scumbags is how content they are with being a scumbag.

You could do your leaving cert and do a trade nowadays and make a very good living with a decent bit of effort, but no they are perfectly happy to drink on the street, father many knacker babies and leech off the state.

I wonder if Nike now market their sports wear at these scummers

You forgot to mention the swearing way louder than the screaming child in an attempt to get the child to shut up...

<anecdote>
I remember I came across a (foul mouthed, tracksuit bedecked, nicotine fingered) father of 3 in Dandelion books on Aungier St. He was so out of place, loudly proclaiming how great books were and collecting huge armfuls of goodies. In between going through the piles of books, he frequently berated his kids (who were actually being well behaved) with clips around the ear and by turning the air blue.

How great it would have been to have the courage to plonk 3 or 4 copies of books on parenting into his arms.

The quiet beardy guy at the counter looked well stressed out.
"Regular customer?" I said, indicating to the small sweary guy with the kids.
"Yes." he said, with a look that said it all.
