Saw this earlier, it's fantastic!!

johncm · 12-12-2009 2:49am

on Thursdays echo it said he got 3 months jail for it.

Cadyboo · 12-12-2009 2:55am

That's a disgrace. There are people mugging and raping and stealing and they get less time than that, if any at all. Saw the original version of it, and the crowd are really egging him on.

Orizio · 12-12-2009 2:55am

Looks like a drunken moron. If that's 'inspiring' then the human race really has lost it.

mayordenis · 12-12-2009 3:00am

what exactly is inspiring about this?
It's not inspiring it's not anything really, it's a guy dancing on a fountain, getting Jail for this is lunacy though on the side of the government.

Inspiring Display of Defiance...against what exactly?

Keeping a few Gardai and firemen occupied while some family elsewhere burns to death or more heroin enters Cork city undetected!

The Gardai need to be given every non-lethal armament there is. I'd like to see this plonker getting hit with a few tasers or plastic bullets. Your in a democracy so you are entitled to peaceful protest but if the Gardai and Fire brigade are busy dealing with some clown on top of a fountain then they can't be doing their real work.

I have relatives in the fire brigade and the Gardai and the bull**** they have to put up with is a disgrace.

what exactly is he defying?
a1 idiot

run_Forrest_run · 12-12-2009 9:35am

I'd say he got a few slaps once he was in that van, hopefully anyway. idiot.

Flamed Diving · 12-12-2009 9:40am

Moron. It seems he will have plenty of time to think about it in the slammer.

tommmy1979 · 12-12-2009 2:44pm

Legend!!

He couldn't have been that drunk i can tell you.. tisn't an easy climb.. the first ledge is particularly tricky;).

DamienH · 12-12-2009 2:46pm

Non-lethal armaments don't even come into this IMO. They were obviously there to try and make sure that he didn't fall, if he got hit with a taser he'd have had an awful fall. Personally, the idea of Gardaí with anything more lethal than a pen worries me, they're not exactly known for their common sense and decency. I don't see why there were so many gardaí there in the first place, let alone the fire brigade.

He's just acting the maggot, langers drunk. I think he should of been taken down, given a night in the cells and get a fine in court. Not jail anyway ffs, he's done absolutely no harm to anyone and only endangered himself. Who was the judge?

Please tell me that's a joke? It reads like some mental Daily Mail madness, won't somebody think of the children!!!!

How is a drunken idiot on a fountain 'inspiring'?

bumpintraining · 12-12-2009 3:42pm

Why in the name of **** did that require a (nearly) 4 minute video.

What a dickhead, he deserves the jail time for wasting the fire brigades time.

The Gardaí do not need tazers or rubber bullets.

1) Tazer or rubber bullet is used on him.

2)He slips and falls.

3)Mangles his head.

4)Is now paralysed or handicapped (treatment paid for by the taxpayer).

5)Family sue the government/gardaí (legal fees paid for by the taxpayer)

6)They get a settlement for a few million (paid for by the tax payers).

7)The gardaí involved never get promoted, ever.

8)The guy spends the rest of life as a vegetable/furniture.

What about the couple of hundred idiots cheering him on?
Sure if nobody was egging him on I'm sure he would have come down on his own accord.

Some drunk dude standing on a fountain - Inspiring? No wonder the countries shagged.

thorpe · 12-12-2009 6:38pm

3 Months inside not half enough for an idiot like that. Wasting CCFBs and Garda time, a year minimum plus a nice fine. Hit him where it really hurts, the pocket.
If that was definance well it shows how screwed this country is.

CB19Kevo · 12-12-2009 7:51pm

Not very inspiring in my humble opinion,
He was foolish enough to climb a wet surface and expose himself to the elements for 40 minutes while yet more drunken idiots applauded his ability to wash himself for all to see, He could have slipped and done serious damage to himself or others standing near the fountain.Yet and all he decided to waste the Guards and fire services time by entertaining his followers.

We can all have a joke but your man here just went overboard.

I couldn't give a toss if someone dances on top of a fountain for 10 hours or dances through the streets naked but once the emergency services are involved then it crosses a line. Some of us prefer to have these people doing their real jobs and not tied up providing entertainment for a few drunks.

Some people will always lack the intelligence to see the bigger picture and do not understand that incidents like these involving the emergency services do have knock on effects.

Red Hand · 13-12-2009 2:03am

The dumb fuck.

Papa_Lazarou · 13-12-2009 2:35am

Surprise surprise a facbook page has been set up for him :rolleyes:

http://www.facebook.com/#/pages/FREE-THE-FOUNTAIN-1/357468465093?ref=nf

"free the fountain 1" What a load of bull****.

They guy wasted the time of numerous Gardaí and fire officers and deserves to be in jail for the minimum sentence he recieved.

Point taken. I was just saying that it's highly unlikely that the fire bridgade will 'rescue' a guy from the fountain before they go to help a family being burned out of their house.

Is it just me or were there far more firemen/gards than were actually needed? I laughed anyway, I love the way people talk as if they haven't ever been stupid or beligerent under the influence.

That stupid? On behalf of the posters of this forum and myself, I can categorically say no to that statement above.

Thanks for your input, though.

I'm glad the posters of this forum have elected you as spokesman.
