Do you know any dangerous criminals?

    I recently started to work with a man who I'm sure has killed, and will kill again.

    I don't want to say where I work exactly. It wouldn't a very formal environment so a handsaw wouldn't be totally out of place, but he does have a handsaw at his desk, and when he comes to my desk with a vein popping out of his forehead in anger, threatens that he will use it on our manager if he comes down with any more stupid requests.

    He makes references to violence very casually and has occasionally been involved in brawls. He's made it clear that he knows how to use a gun. I divide my time between telling him what he wants to hear and avoiding him.

    I'm waiting for the day I arrive into work and my colleagues point forlornly to a bloody hand-saw.

    Does any of you know any dangerous criminals?

    What are they like when they are not raging sociopaths?

    If that first post is serious, I'd be on to HR first thing. That's a hostile work environment & you or your workmates are potentially in danger.

    No, I was being light hearted about a semi-serious topic.

    The guy is demented. I just want to know if people who kill people actually show it, or are they usually more crafty and tactful.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 453 ✭✭CollardGreens


    This is rather general. How would we know just how dangerous a person is? Do they have to kill somebody first? If that were the case, then we would have probably met them in jail.

    There are crazy ppl everywhere, but until they strike......

    He sounds like a bit of an eejit to be honest.

    Don't know him but this guy lives about half a mile from me. Only recently found out what sort of person he is. See him walking round the village regularly enough. Scary to think that such dangerous people can live so close to you and you may not even know about it.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,073 ✭✭✭Pottler


    Some day you'll make a hames of somthing and he'll chop you up.

    You need to start carrying a JML Exact-saw and extension lead with you, everywhere. Everyone knows a powersaw beats a handsaw every time.

    I know a guy who has killed 30000 cattle over his career as a murderer.

    Why would you have a Handsaw at your desk.

    That's what I'm getting at... for the people who know or know of dangerous criminals, would you be able to tell it by observing them or being around them? Or are the dangerous criminals the more manipulative kind who hide it better than explosive, street brawling types?

    Is that not the number of licensed guns, not gun owners?

    Anyway, this man is not your rural sports type.

    A handsaw is a pretty pathetic weapon tbh. The best he could do is cut off the leg of a chair and wallop you with it.

    Even a chainsaw is despite their numerous appearences in films and games being used as weapons

    I used to work with an ex-IRA guy who was released from a life sentence after Good Friday. Now I know that every second Nordie claims to have been in the IRA but it was genuine in this guy's case. He is listed here - http://cryptome.org/ira-names.htm

    I went on the beer with him one night and, being nothing basically a stupid kid, I initially thought this was kind of cool, but as the night ran into the next day he began opening up and sharing more and more details of the **** he had done or that other people he knew had done.

    It didn't help that I had smoked a load of grass, but it reached a point where I thought I was going to have some kind of panic attack just from listening to him, and I ended up literally running as fast as I could out of the bar we were in, just to get away from it.

    Some of the stuff he said still gives me the creeps.

    You haven't seen 1 chainsaw 2 guys so!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,639 ✭✭✭Miss Lockhart


    Yes, I know one person serving time for murder, one on remand awaiting trial for murder and one who has served time for manslaughter. Dozens of people I know have convictions for assault and other violent crimes.

    I try to have as little to do with them as possible but some level of interaction with those not currently in prison is difficult to avoid.

    yeah,one online;a 'narcopath' [diagnosed with narcissistic pd and anti social pd/pyschopathy],he can blow up in violence like the flick of a switch if something doesnt go his way,has an incredible hatred for the police due to all the arrests and imprisonment he has had.
    he has full awareness of his actions and targets extremely vulnerable individuals-we are easy pickings for his toxic jealousy and resentment;he wants to have his PD behavior treated like those of us with the UK definition of learning disability [intelectual disability] when we are on completely different functioning levels and have very different disabilities and very different reasons behind behavior.
    he is unwilling to ever accept responsibility for his own actions or anything he says-he has no care for the effect it has on others either.

    and have lived with many people who are very high risk to the public; who woud be considered criminals if they were not significantly learning disabled.
    one was a fifteen year old profoundly autistic lad,many a time he had sent staff to hospital due to the damage he had done to them,he had destroyed much of the childrens unit so many times they coudnt rebuild it as itd just be brought down again,and when he was really on one all the staff woud hide in a childrens bedroom with all the children and the door locked and held.

    he also ripped our locked patio doors open,came in here,dragged out a sofa with one resident still sat on it and tore it to pieces-because he is so violent no one stopped him.
    and he is also a rapist,a poor youngster who is terminaly ill and limited in mobility/movement was under threat of rape every day by him-staff struggled to get him off and she ended up hurt,OFSTED gave seven days to get him out finaly last year- us and the entire community which he terrorised to the point busineses had to close up whenever he went out were glad.
