63 Gardai v 70 drunken delinquents.....who would win?

darkman2 · 07-08-2008 07:22PM #1

Answer - the thugs who terrorise a Dublin housing estate.

I was listening to RTE radio earlier in the day and they were talking about it. Was it last night it happened or the night before? It was some housing estate in Dublin but apparently 2 gaurds got a hiding (one a woman) and they just could not bring things under control. Gun shots apparently were fired by some of the troublemaking youths and cars burned out in what was discribed as a 'riot'. The woman on the radio was a resident - the only one apparently brave enough to talk about it in the estate - scared something might happen to her or her family. I was listening intently and was symphathetic until she mentioned the inevitable chesnut - giving them 'new houses' (the residents). Then I thought some of these gurriers must be from at least some of these family's on this particular estate.

Anyways either way it seemed pretty disturbing stuff and whats more - little or nothing in the media about the incident. The Gaurds really need to get their act together. Fair enough it not an easy job but they were effectively beaten by a bunch of drunken young thugs who 'could have taken control of the estate after'. Also a senior gaurd said starting tonight there would be 'zero tolerance' in the area. Why 'starting tonight' - this has been going on in areas all over the country for years. What do they mean by 'zero tolerance' anyway - putting them in front of a judge to go out the revolving door the next day!?

Also this was apparently not the only 'riot' in Dublin over the last few days.

What area?

If the cops hit anyone they would be brought up on charges because of some liberal hippy ****ers.

Captain Darling · 07-08-2008 07:26PM

Answer-Fail.

Adam · 07-08-2008 07:27PM

What about 17 Grizzly Bears versus 60 drunken cops?

If you mean 17 Grizzly bears against 60 guards - obviously the bears;)

Grizzly bears would win hands down.

Creature · 07-08-2008 07:33PM

Sorry I meant 17 drunken Grizzlys against 60 gardai. The bears are drunk, not the police.

Why can't people understand that the guards can't just go in with batons and start cracking heads,there trained to cause minimal injury by restraining a person and that can sometimes take 2-3 even 4 guards depending on the person,if they were allowed go in and take any means necessary which do you think would win then?63 guards armed with batons and protective body armour or 70 eejits?

Judging by what I heard 70 eejits. Two guards got the crap kicked out of them. I mean come on. Any other police force would have to get heavy handed in those circumstances and at least make even one arrest!

Some of the guards had full riot gear apparently! Though I think they turned up later of course.

thefinalstage · 07-08-2008 07:38PM

Any other force in the world would have rounded them all up and went a butch slapping.

The answer to this one is the Army Rangers.

I propose we add a giant squid to the mix.

They aren't allowed go in and take any means necessary though which to be fair they should be allowed,remember the Dublin riot where a guard was recorded hitting a few people with a baton and he was brought to court over it and it was found to be justified,shouldn't have even gotten to court as it clearly showed him defending a colleague.

Should have a better system for dealing with those situations - if theres a riot go in take any action necessary to contain or disperse it and then worry about the people that took part in the riot that might have broken a nail.

20 grizzlies vs 10 great whites in a 10 ft pool?

The grizzlies would win unless the pool was incredibly deep.

Definately a proportion. Interesting the contributer living there never mentions it. I think someone else does though. Wouldnt be supprised if its majority locals.

Only if you fit the Grizzlys in a wetsuit with a rebreather of sorts.

What about 5 midgets against a gorilla?

Two of the midgets are allowed to have knives (midget knives obviously).

Has been a fair bit of football hooliganism also over the last week, tough week for the Gardai.

That's what I said.
Liberal hippy fúcks telling us that the Gardai shouldn't be allowed hit rioters.
The thing is, those fúcks don't have to live anywhere near this crap.

I have scars on my head and back that disprove they use minimal force. By the way, I am not a criminal but happened to be on a peaceful picket at the time.

Give me the 5 midgets details and the gorilla and I'll be more than fair.

Im sure there was probs but they are exxagerating to get the cheap/free new build council gaffs which were canceled/postponed when the developer McNamara pulled out.
