A thread to record non-murderous crimes like robbery, assault and other things like that

@Horsebox

This has happened to me, too:D£400 fine and bound to the peace for 12 months as the courtroom fell about the place laughing at my diatribe.

What was your diatribe?

Ah go on and tell us.

A drug fueled rage against John Law one night when I was about 18 that predictably involved lots of fucks, cunts, bastards, useless pricks, etc. It was very funny when the Garda read it out in a deadpan voice in a packed courtroom with a load of serious headcases laughing at me and Horsebox Snr doing everything he could to stop himself from pucking the head off me. Luckily I have matured a lot since then.

I’m not ashamed to say i’ve seen the inside of Henry St holding cells on more than one occasion- I beat the system in court however.

I’m sure you’ve had many run ins with MP’s while on RnR Renton?

@Bandage

This story prompted my query about whether we had a thread to record such criminal activity. Are the Fingal natives of TFK familiar with Mr Cleary’s pharmacy? He seems like a bit of a character judging by his newspaper quotes today. Fought the robbers as they pointed a gun to the head of his “business partner and ex-wife”.

Tadhg is quite the character alright. Didn’t realise he was married. Fair play to him for grabbing the gun and “getting a few digs in.”

[TreatyStones]

He probably thought "
Gun to my ex-wife’s head?
Lovely stuff, I’ll antagonise them now and see will they pull the trigger"

+1 to all that. I could probably do a lonely planet guide to Irish Garda stations.

Of all the stupid things I did when I was younger, getting arrested and spending the night in a cell in Store Street is the one I’m most proud of. When I started to sober up a bit, I began banging on the door shouting “I want my phonecall! I know my rights!”. Sure you’d nearly pay just to experience doing that.

On one occasion I was locked there was some wino across the way kicking the cell door screaming ‘child molesters’ over and over for about two hrs. Various guards came down, peeled in and laughed. Next door some chap shat himself and a ban garda kicked the bollox of him for it. I stood for the 5 hrs not opening my mouth, they bastards couldn’t break me.

the bit where they were sexually abused and then told if they opened their mouths about it to anyone they would be shot.

Every elite force trains its soldiers to deal with scenarios where they may be caught and interrogated by the enemy.
