What's going through the mind of someone who does this?

^ Musicians are on the hapenny bridge for the launch of a Trad music festival and a guy comes along and barges into one of them in a fairly dangerous / menacing way.

I put that guy in the same class as the guys who throw concrete blocks at the Luas near Bluebell, what do you think of this and what do you think of those people who only take from society and never give anything?

Who's yer wan with the harp?

SV · 08-01-2014 07:16PM

Probably just done what everyone else wanted to anyway. What a stupid place to stop and play music, the woman with the buggy could barely get through.

Nah, he was being a prick so he could get a giggle and tell his friends.

So partially blocking a foot bridge for a minute for the launch of an event that contributes something to society is reason enough to assault somebody?

Was it an accident? I heard an apology straight away. Besides, there was little room for people to pass by.

Kenny Logins · 08-01-2014 07:20PM

I wanted to do that too. Not saying I would do it, but I would think about it.

Did I say that? I said its a stupid place to stop and block people.

What is it with you people and twisting words when you have an agenda!?

Maybe he was confusing it with the canal?

khmk · 08-01-2014 07:21PM

probably misses his old glasses.

Karl Stein · 08-01-2014 07:21PM

In all fairness they're blocking the whole bridge which is pretty rude itself. Hitler. Now I'm not saying that the shove was justified but Hitler HITLER HITLER .

Kenny Logins · 08-01-2014 07:22PM

BTW, maybe I'm too cynical, but that bump must be worth a lot of video views, possibly more than the... what was it about again?

john the one · 08-01-2014 07:22PM

Pondlife. I knew just from the thread title it was gonna be a pie ball in a white tracksuit.

I quoted exactly what you said. the woman with the pram got by fine, it was the steps that caused her the inconvenience. It was an act of thuggery.

kneemos · 08-01-2014 07:23PM

Couldn't sing,looked awful.

He did right.

Fr_Dougal · 08-01-2014 07:23PM

It was all over Instagram earlier.

J_E · 08-01-2014 07:24PM

The bridge is nearly completely blocked up. There could have been a bit more sense by part of the group playing. It wasn't exactly what I'd call a 'vicious assault', a bit careless.

Generalise more, why don't you

Maybe you are just trying to be funny. It also means to move aggressively and clumsily.

He was probably thinking "I went to a lot of effort to get dressed well and look smart today so I may as well get noticed"

bumper234 · 08-01-2014 07:26PM

Idiots shouldn't have been blocking the bridge, looks like the guy put up his arm to get by but who knows maybe he did do it on purpose either way they shouldn't be blocking the bridge like that.

Agricola · 08-01-2014 07:26PM

He obviously shouldnt try to knock the bespeckled fella into the river, but why block up the walkway onto the bridge with a féckin band. Isnt there less annoying places for them to stand and play?

Where did I say that it was justified? I just said everyone else probably wanted to do it too. Right yeah, and everyone else having to stop and turn sideways and go in single file was the steps too.

Zascar · 08-01-2014 07:29PM

Got a good laugh out of that! The guy is a scumbag. Should be thrown off the bridge.

kneemos · 08-01-2014 07:30PM

Like people who stand talking in the middle of the path,you would just love to walk through them.

No I think the "ah jesus mister" is directed at him rather than coming from him.

Only a slight chance it wasn't deliberate but stupid place to stand, if I was behind that lad I'd probably give him a mental round of applause.

yawhat! · 08-01-2014 07:31PM

Musicians are idiots

Happyman42 · 08-01-2014 07:32PM

At least he stopped the racket!

BrokenArrows · 08-01-2014 07:32PM

Dublin is full of people who hate creative people and can;t contain their jealously - one of the reasons I left.

What's going through the mind of someone who does this?
