    Robbery on Dawson Street today..

    Its just been reported on the RTE news that one armed robbery is in a serious condition in Beaumont Hospital with a fractured skull :D

    From the Mods and members of the Self Defence and Martial Arts forum;

    "WELDONE MR JEWELLERY STORE OWNER"


    FRom the RTE SIX ONE news, one robber was holding the man's wife around the neck. The Husband (shop owner) attacked and disarmed the man.

    The other two cowardly bastards legged it and were caught on the street.

    Can we have a round of applause for the shop owner who stood up and defended his wife, staff and livelihood please?.

    I'm just glad you didn't put that extra bloody full stop at the bottom of your post.

    One of the two cowards who legged it was tripped up by a pedestrian on the street who saw what was happening. And the other fella is in hospital with a suspected fractured skull. GOOD STUFF!

    Well done Mr Jeweller. Fair play to the passerby who went after the fleeing raider as well.

    Need more people with balls in this country.

    Maybe the decent people will stop allowing the minority scumbags to terrorise them.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,458 ✭✭✭Dartz


    He'll be charged with assault and imprisoned.

    Bloody system.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,584 ✭✭✭PCPhoto


    what are the chances that the criminal scumbag will take a civil action for the damages he received (excessive force et all that:P)

    Suspected fractured skull - Well done Mr Jeweller Shop man !!!

    I hope that he has to wait the same six weeks for an X-ray that I had to endure.

    In defence of yourself or another person, or in defence of your own property or someone else's, you can use reasonable force. So he won't be charged or imprisoned.

    Knowing how idiotic the Irish judicial system is, it's more than likely a fractured skull will be viewed as excessive force.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,479 ✭✭✭Hootanany


    Well if he had only one arm he would be easy to track down then if he got away

    It's possible, but very very unlikely. The fact that the man went in to rob the owners property and grabbed his wife around the neck would give him two counts to use force. For all we know, the man was being restrained, acted out violently and cracked his skull off the ground. ;)

    If you're reading this Mister Jeweller, I hope you know what you are. You're a great big hero!

    Now that is something that would be worth protesting against. I would take to the streets to defend the jeweller's right to crack skulls.

    He sounds like a diamond geezer :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,592 ✭✭✭Ro: maaan!


    What time did this happen, anyone know?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,304 ✭✭✭Oliver1985


    Macho ...macho man.... I wanna be a macho man!!!

    I had to read that like six times before I realised you mis-spelled something.

    Fair play to the jewellery guy though.

    And there I was thinking this thread was about Robbie Williams drug habit.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 115 ✭✭M O N T O


    The Jeweller fought back?


    Must have been a chain reaction, ey, ey?


    I'll get my coat.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,909 ✭✭✭Agent J


    Well done that man.

    And the other people who assisted.

    Now they need to change the law so that there should never even be a question of someone like that shop keeper being charged.

    I think the law has some stupid line that " If you have a chance to retreat and dont this will be considered aganist you".

    Personally i think that unless it is a very literal "It was them or me" anything short of intentionally killing them is relative fair game.

    If you break in to someone elses place to harm or steal you forfeit your rights.
