Being honest, I'd find any excuse to lock up someone like him!

Why my good man, he is nothing short of a scurrilous dastard by my reckoning, or my name is Lord Fauntelroy Fitzbury the third!

Lol, that, and the 'aul prison tattoo...

Phrenology? Seriously? Cop the **** on. Listen to yourself, that's sickening carry on. It's not a joke. That's as bad as saying all black people should be locked up in jail because that's all they're worthy of.

It's amazing how much Phrenologists we have around here so far ("looks like a mog, he's a mog") but you just take the biscuit. I hadn't realised I'd went back to 1810.

Many people have that kind of tough look about them who are law-abiding, decent members of society. The "sloping brow" can be an indicator of poor health, poor nutrition/diet through their life, possible alcohol or drug addictions.... you cannot seriously saying that he "looks like the type of guy that's bad so he MUST be bad". What a joke.

It might be okay to say that about him if he was dressed in chav-type close, a skinhead, and did things to make himself look tough. But just taking a look at him and saying that is IMHO sickening.

As for "figureheads of authority"... don't make me laugh. Police men or women have no right to expect any sort of "preferred" treatment over the public that they are supposed to protect.

People need to get over their nanny complexes. The police officers work for us, they are supposed to implement the law.... I just don't understand where this extra "respect" should come in.

As for "Keira", I apparently have to "earn" her respect, but a police officer has her respect and her knee is bent automatically. Is it any wonder that the country is in the state it's now in when people invest so much of their trust into a supposed authority? In actual fact, a lot of policemen were criminals themselves or heading that way, working with the police is often seen as a lucrative way out of poverty for people in backward areas.

Chill out. I think you'll find that most people are judging him based on the fact that he has a prison tattoo under his eye.

Maybe people shouldn't be so quick to judge based on a photo.. I've a fair few indian ink tattoo's myself, but never been to prison!..

Although I did recently throw a snowball at someone

What and where are they? The full tear under the eye usually symbolizes that you were in prison, having come from Russia, where it meant you were someones b|tch in prison. Having any tattoo on your face can go against you when getting a job, but having a prison or gang related tattoo on your face is daft. If it's just the outline, you have sworn to kill someone and if it's filled in, that you did kill that someone. In the past in Australia, other inmates, upon finding out that an inmate was doing time for a paedophile related offence, would forceably put a tear under the paedophiles right eye to mark them.

So having such a tattoo as a tear, although small, is a big sign.

Are you seriously suggesting that he's lucky the police didn't beat him up so bad as to put him in A&E for throwing a snowball?.

Having snowballs thrown at you is a pain in the hoop, but its part & parcel of the novelty of us having snow.

The Defence Forces here are out clearing paths & roads, plus providing transport from 'meals on wheels' to medical care & transport - you know how many snowballs I've had thrown at me?... Its a pain, but its the craic of a snowy winter.

If you choose to throw a snowball at somebody you have to be ready for any type of human reaction.

Throw it at the wrong person or policeman and yes they might flip and end up kicking two lumps out of you. Its wrong obviously and can be followed up afterwards but I wouldnt risk it for that reason alone.

The amount of people that have had two lumps of ****e kicked out of them when they threw snowballs at the wrong cars, having "innocent fun".

Probably why this fella threw it at a female cop.

Anybody with an ounce of common sense would know not to throw something at a copper.

Would the same fella head up to some estates in the following towns... Limerick Finglas Tallaght Blanchardstown, Dundalk Mullingar or Cork, and start throwing snowballs into random peoples faces.

I think he would be the one needing the police and quite poissibly an Ambulance if he did.

Again, he is a total idiot.

Wanna laugh, it was at two cop's and a guy in cuff's outside 'The Front Lounge' in Parliment St. on the first night of 'The BIG Freeze'

Everyone was hammered, even the guards got a laugh out of it!.

Oh, a fight outside Gogarty's (Templebar) with the bouncers and some punters - they were snow balled too :cool:

Look, its a pain in the arse being snowballed.

Like I said, I'm out in it the last few weeks and getting pelted regularly - personally I don't see it as a reason to arrest someone - but no one here know's the story behind the case reported in the OP.

The guy might very well have been a scumbag, or the cop may simply have been over reacting.. I don't really care too much either way, but people shouldn't be so quick to jump to conclusions based on a photo of a tattoo.. Why on earth someone wants a tattoo there in the first place beats the crap out of me but thats another matter.

Someone asked about my ink - arm's, legs and I had them removed from my knuckles.. It was a life time ago, there ya go - warts & all!.

I fucking hate having snow balls thrown at me so if I had the power and someone threw a snowball at me, I'd sure as hell arrest them too. I don't know why people think throwing snow at others is funny... it just isn't. Okay, I'd get past it if it was a friend, but a complete stranger, fuck off.

What's a 'beangarda'? Is it someone who looks after the pulses?

'bean garda' / bean-garda, whatever.
It's Gaelige loveen, our native language. You should check it out.

FreudianSlippers · 23-12-2010 10:55PM

Throwing snowballs at anyone is assault. Why would anyone think differently?

Deal with it and grow up ffs.

Are you not the guy who had a photo of himself as an avatar with a big American History X style swastika tattoo on his chest.

I know its a bit unfair to judge a book by its cover, and I assume thats from a past and something you regret.

But you can't blame a black guy for crossing the road if he sees a big built looking fella with a shaved head and swastika tattoo on his chest.

Its like me dressing as a fireman then giving out to people for judging me when I walk past a house on fire.

cocoshovel · 24-12-2010 12:06AM

Friendly snow ball my bollox. Too right for him.

VinnyTGM · 24-12-2010 12:33AM

Good enough for him.
Hopefully the rest of the offenders will be dealt with.

johnnyskeleton · 24-12-2010 12:41AM

During the last snows I saw two gardai who had parked their car as a sort of barricade, engaged in a full on snowball fight with about 20 yoofs. They all seemed to be having a lot of fun. The gardai held their own anyways.

I'm starting to regret every throwing a snowball more, or swimming in a canal lock, playing 'nick nack', kiss chasing, scutting on lorries/buses, not following the green cross code and all the other sh*t I knew as part of growing up more!.

Some people here would wanna get a bloody life and live it ffs.

superspark · 24-12-2010 06:40AM

as long as it wasn't a yellow snow ball he threw

Are you suggesting the guy threw the snowball as part of youthful antics? He looked older than that to me.
