It would be classed as a deadly weapon; we have the guards in this country for a reason. hero No-one these days will take risks, life is too short and everyone knows it. You're on a board and you did not think you would get negative feedback; people have more views than just fems, and equality did come in a few years ago -why were you looking for a man to intervene? Can't a feminwoman do the same thing as a man can do in this day and age? People have there own problems, everyone does. Sometimes when there's a kid involved it's best to keep your nose out of this sort of thing; if you're an on-looker you don't know what the true story is, the same way someone over hearing a conversation does not know the whole story - sometimes it can be one-sided and not the whole truth. As for being small, you're only as small as you let yourself be."

    It's a miracle! I can read again \o/

    Are you using the word "fem" when you mean woman, or feminist? Your post still doesn't make much sense.

    fem as in feminist

    North Main Street is a hole. Not bothered on how historical the street is, it's a dirty smelly dump of a street. For some reason there is a lot of scumbags penguin walking up and down there every day.

    than dont bother walking down there so if your so unhappy about this city move out and try to find some where else there are a lot of sh"" holes else where you could try england there a somthing else for scum, or how about somewhere like the middle east or maybe a third world country that might suite you down to the ground and you could find out what the world is out side this country. than maybe you might have a clue of what a hole f a place is.

    I never said I didn't like Cork City or Cork in general but the North Main street is an awful dump. I use some of the shops there so will not stop walking down there. Iv been to many countries, lived in some for quite a while so have seen many walks of life and rough areas although I don't see what it has to do with me saying North Main Street is a dump. For a so called 'Key Historical Street' in Cork it's a ****""le

    If you did get involved and try to play the hero, the Gardai would advise that you are a tool.

    Never get involved, provide a statement to the cops by all means, but trying to step in is just silly. You'll just get a box in the mouth for your trouble.

    if it was your mother would you let it happen, dont think so mate stepping in has had its benifits you see thats the problem with the irish we sit back, but at heart were the freedom fighters that set this country free once. and for getting a box what are you a panzy somethimes it's all right to lock horns and battle it out the good fight is worth the battle if it's in the right cause. most people take a back seat and are afaird to handle life as it is. you are a back seat passenger have a bit and stand up once in a while. lifes just going to pass you by other wise.

    Silly me, forgetting about those psychic powers we all have that let us immediately know exactly what's going on in a situation and decide whether the cause is worth "battling it out".

    Oh, wait...is that a retarded justification for mob justicevigilantism I hear?

    In all fairness, there's a significant difference between getting personally involved in a situation when you know the person (and presumably the associated background) and getting personally involved in a situation where you know neither.
    Unless someone's being physically assaulted (and even if they are) you'd be very foolish to approach either party given the current climate. Realistically unless you're bigger and stronger than an attacker and bloody sure he or she isn't carrying a weapon, you'll probably be lucky if a box in the gob is the only thing you get. Nonetheless, it is possible to help without putting your neck on the line.
    As far as I can gather, there's little evidence that anyone was attacked here. Possibly it was a domestic and in the case of half the domestics that happen in public, you'll probably be told to f*ck off by both parties if you try to interfere.
    I don't think it's happened before and I doubt it'll ever happen again but in this instance I agree with craichoe. Call the cops, ultimately it's their job to deal with incidents like the one that the OP would like to think has happened (though personally I reckon she's probably let her imagination run away with her.

    As far as I can gather, this thread is about the OP seeing a rather ambiguous incident in public, making certain assumptions and then getting shirty because nobody (including her) acted on her assumptions.

    Oh, and don't call me dude.
