Scumbag Attacked a Bus Driver on 122 I was on...

    :mad:

    I was upstairs and all of a sudden there was shouting and the bus took a turn off College Green up towards Grafton area, presumably in pursuit of the ****er. He got away but the bus driver seemed shaken up.

    Some idiot kids (14 or so) started mouthing off at the back of the bus making fun of the situation. The typical little pack of make-up covered idiots you'd expect to find playing crappy music from their phones....

    Every couple of weeks I either have a run-in with a scumbag in work (shoplifting or just deciding to **** around in the shop) or hear of someone else that does. :mad:

    I'd like to think they're not above the law... :rolleyes:

    I saw a guy try smash a vodka bottle over a convenience store security guy's head two nights ago. Stories are fun.

    These scumbags should be shipped off to the Principality of Sealand.

    Yes.

    I deal with the gardaí one a week or so.

    They're helpful but ultimately we both know the scumbags will never be held accountable.

    This has me confused, was the person on the bus when he attacked the driver?
    Did the driver follow him in the bus? were you involved in the chase?

    Touché.

    I really hate this sh!t, though ... as you may have gathered. I live in north inner city Dublin, there's a well known estate around the corner packed to the gills what some of you would call "scumbags" ... if it's basically an Irish chav, which is what I think people mean. I've never had a problem for so long as I've been here, some of the kids are cheeky as fúck, and some of them are a bit rough around the edges, but they've never bothered me.

    Tbh, I've had more problems on the streets when I lived in Ranelagh and Donnybrook.

    tbh nobody said that it was scumbags from one area, all of dublin has them, city center is a hotspot...


    also donnybrook is awful quiet... must be you're... bad luck ?

    In Kielys with a bunch of sauced-up rugger chaps squaring up to my mate over a spilled drink? But I guess I can't call them scumbags, right?

    Never had anything like that in my locals on this side of town.

    Come to think of it, most of the problems in Ranelagh came after Leinster matches and all. Bunch a' fckin' scumbags, that rugby crowd.

    From what I could hear from other passengers he was causing some kind of trouble and wanted to be let off in the middle of D' Olier Street in the middle lane. I think after threats the bus driver obliged by opening the door, at which point he was attacked by the scumbag before he jumped off the bus and fled. The bus driver than drove after him in vain.

    You can call them scumbags if that's what they were, and it sounds like it, but you did say the trouble was on the streets in Ranelagh and Donnybrook. There can be a problem in any pub.

    I was under the impression that Bus drivers had panic attack button and the guards be there in a minute or all over the place,especially in that part of the city.

    he spilt a drink thus got a situation, and from what it sounds like he nor you handled it well, ive gotten trouble both sides of town, you're failure to see both sides of the coin is you're problem not mine.

    Indeed.

    Plus having a few drinks in a pub and starting a fight with someone over a spilled drink is completely different than *possibly* being sober on a bus and starting a fight with a bus driver that's just doing his job.

    I just don't see benways' argument at all.

    Unless you're American you can't say that without sounding like an idiot.

    when you're just spinning the blame onto someone or thing else constantly you're only losiing credibility is all.
