Scumbag sues Garda

Ok then, can people who are applauding the gaurd answer this question for me:

Should the gardai, the force designed to uphold the laws of the land, be allowed to ignore, and indeed break those very laws, and engage in vigilante style behaviour when the mood takes them?

The Gardai should still have the powers to kick the living crap out of fellas like this. Our jails wouldnt be half as full. Bring back the wet towel it put manners on a lot of scumbags..

Yeah, just act the McBrearty's up in Donegal. Nothing could possibly go wrong when the gaurds abandon the rule of law...

Justice is a strange beast.

I asked a similar question here earlier Einhard, and surprise surprise, nobody wants to answer

You're on AH - do you really need someone to tell you the answer?

You talkin' to me? :cool:

I realise 100% where I am. While some of the posts are not meant to be funny, they are most certainly a joke.

I remember hearing about an 80 year old man got broken into. 3 scumbags in total.

1 took his valuables and the other 2 tied him up and gave him a fierce hiding. These "people", or "humans" as they are labelled where all 18-26 years of age.

I thought the 1 was an I.

Rodney King a la Ireland

Minus the riots.
I remember the Summer of '92. The Gardaí chased a few of us at about 4am. When I say "chased", I mean that we ran for nothing when we saw them.

A couple of friends had just finished their JC and we were out celebrating and being loud in suburbia at mad hours of the morning.

We were running along some grass. I was way ahead of everyone until I stepped into a hole and fell.
Got back up, and hid in the first garden I reached. The Gardaí saw me, followed me in and ran past me. I was hiding behind a small wall at the side of the house.
A clever person would have ran back out at this point, but alcohol had gotten the better of me. I just assumed they would run out the other side of this detached house. A boot up the arse proved me wrong.

They draged me into the front garden, pinned me against the wall and told me to get my (slightly long, but not too long) hair out of my face.
I did so, but it wasn't long enough to put behind my ears.
I got a slap in the face and was told to get my hair of my face again. This happened four or five times.

Then one of them said "I'd ask you who was with you, but you probably wouldn't tell me, would you?" I said no.
Had he just asked who was with me, without the get out clause, I would have ratted out every last one of them. I told my friends that too.
They said they would have done the same thing. They were all hiding in different gardens in the same cul de sac and could hear the slaps I was given.

I didn't sue the state.

Ahh, memories.

Oh yeah. I seem to remember saying something about Rodney King to them. That was what prompted my needless story here.
My friends had to stifle their laughter about that one, lest they be caught.

The real scum here is the gardai, which is usually the case, 10 of them battering a poor man half to death. Just because they can.

****ing pig should rot in prison, they will take care of his arse in there....dirty pig ****....:cool:

Battered half to death?
Where did you pull that from?

Hmm, I don't think you'd have the same attitude if it was your son who got his face knocked in by a couple of guards who caught him pissing down a back alley on a Saturday night after a bellyful of beer.

My father was killed by a hit and run driver. I would have liked the Gardai to catch him that night and kick the crap out of him. Unfortunately he got away.
Eight years later and I'm still very bitter about that. I can't see that changing any time soon.

I'm not bitter about the few slaps mentioned above. Nor am I bitter about the new recruits to Leixlip in 1993 who gave my friend a black eye and kicked me in the nuts twice.
My friend didn't deserve the black eye, but I punched one of the Gardaí (I just saw someone hitting my friend. Didn't actually know he was a cop and acted on instinct.).

They called themselves the Death Squad.
It's laughable now, but it kept me out of trouble until I lost my mind in 2002.

Point is, sometimes the Gardaí are actually right when they kick the crap out of someone.

Damn scumbag, they should have killed him and dumped him in the sewer/under 2 feet of mud.

His family already took enough money off the state through their heroin rehabilitation programs, now he is taking money through this bullcrap.

Source?

I think you should check yours while your at it. The officer in question took the law into his own hands which is completely incompatible with any notion of justice. He's a gaurd, not a vigilante, and people should remember that before congratulating him.

Incidentally, the scumbag hasn't been convicted of anything either.

I'm not a judge, but if I was I would definitely find him guilty.

Let's look at the facts.
He admitted to this crime. He was arrested at the scene of the crime.
That's enough for me.

Get a wet towel and use it like a whip. The pain is excrusiating but it leaves no bruises..:)

The fear of that kept me from havng any dealings with the Gardaí until I was 15.
I'd be up for bringing it back.

Scum like that should have no rights whatsoever.

ffs.:rolleyes:







*who decides enough is enough??-the day the guards self regulate you can forget about it.

TBH, when I hear about Gardai getting physical with law abiding people who are going about their normal bussiness without bothering anyone else, I'll get worried about police brutality and killer cops.

Some scumbag who raced down a quay with drink and drugs on putting the lives of dozens if not hundreds in danger getting a few smacks and bruises?

My heart bleeds. Literally, I'm welling up with tears.

And lets not forget, this all assumes anything this scumbag says is true. We've got a young Guard, whose out there doing more good for society than anything that piece of human waste has ever done being put under the cosh. Where are our priorities?
