    Fair assement, but only relates to yer average council estate scumbag....but most times they are the likely clan to be battering each other on the street.

    :rolleyes:

    If it's one thing I hate it's stupid fcuking ignorant posts like this... I know more scum from private gated estates... Get off your high horse.

    QFT. Perhaps the worst incident involving violence toward another girl I ever saw involved a group of 4 girls attending Trinity with families who all feature on the rich list.

    Happened a few times to me...
    I'd always interrupt and ask the girl if she was ok.
    If she told me to sod off I would...if she said she wasn't I'd ask the guy to back off....
    I can look after myself no probs but I tend to use my mouth a lot more than my fists.
    The key point is to be sympathetic to both parties and explain cops are on the way and they really don't want to spend a night in the cells.....works every time bar for the drugheads..

    Anytime I have seen a guy get battered for fighting with a girl, it is not out of any great concern for the woman. It is usually just some louts looking for an excuse for a row,

    I have seen it a few times and the last time a seen a guy get a hiding outside a club, it looked more to me like the guys where trying to impress their friends and the girl.

    Didn't work with the girl anyway as she turned on them screaming and when the Gurards came she said they had started picking on her boyfriend.

    Yeah I think you may have a point there. The other issue is what happens when they get home later. The guy may very well take out his rage at getting beat on the woman. You might interfere and in the moment save her a few beating, but in the long term make it worse for her. No, I reckon the right call is to call the cops and only get involved if you think there's likely bodily harm involved and then still call the cops

    You get scumbag couples who's weekend ritual is
    • Go out
    • Get hammered,
    • Start fighting
    • She hurls abuse at him
    • He hurls abuse at her
    • She slaps him
    • He beats the ****e out of her
    • They are eventally arrested or seperated by scumbag mates,

    Next day hungover and bruised, they are back madly in love.. and the whole thing starts all over again.. :rolleyes:

    Whats the point in getting involved.. its a ritual they will continue to do for the rest of their lives??

    As another poster said here, scumbags travel in packs and are always getting hammered and beating the sh*te out of one another and if you intervene you become a target for the lot of them, so let me off and hopefully they will beat each other senseless and leave the rest of the world in peace!!

    Happened to me about three years ago after a heavy night out in Cobh.

    My self and two mates were walking up to the top part of the town to grab a cab when we came around a corner to see this guy repeadly hitting this girl, I lost the rag and started screaming at him to get off her, then proceeded to call him every name under the sun, he threw in a punch, I was luckey and it glanced of me and I hit him full force in the head, Long story short the Gaurds turned up arrested your man, gave me a talking too and took the girl home, I think if I see a girl being hit I would step in again although I dont know if its the right thing to do in some instances but I cant stand by and alow it to happen. Just my 2 cents.

    Some girls are very protective of their abusive partners. I would walk on and call the gardaì.

    'I deserved it' syndrome.

    I know too many people who've been injured, and a friend's older brother had one of his best mate's stabbed for doing this.

    sorry, but I've seen some girls who deserve a good slap. One night I was out with a few mates when this guy started a row with one of them. cue a lot of shouting and abuse from both guys. Next thing the guys girlfriend swings a bottle at my mates face missing him by an inch or two. well my friend wasn't having this and slapped her so hard she spun round. the guy didn't do a thing about it and actually apoligised for what his girlfriend had done.

    Another time a girl in the chipper tried to hit some guy in the face with a full can of coke. She got a backhander.

    The point I'm trying to make is, do you ever think there is a time where hitting a women would be deemed acceptable.

    if shes coming in and out of the kitchen wrecking your head the chain is to long,

    hence somewhere along the line she added some links to it 4 bitch slaps must be issued.

    Well obviously lol.

    No seriously it's kinda off topic but surely there's a lot on here that posted it's wrong, that would surely have to rethink if their life/well being was threatened by dangerous women.

    We were in Barcode years back and a nutter started trying to have fight with one of my (male) mates. I intervened,thinking I'd at least get him out of the vicinity and calm things down. He whacked me one. Have to say,every lad in the general area,drunk or sober, came to my aid straight away. My mates (inc the lad who had been started on) held him down til the bouncers arrived over (while I stood there in shock and crying).

    I remember walking home from town one night when I was about fourteen, we heard a load of shouting coming from where the Temple Theatre is. We looked in and there was a bloke slapping the head off a young one. A few of the older lads decided to go over and sort your man out.
    Just as we started going over a gang of lads came out of the flats there and went straight for the guy. Your one was on the ground at this stage and the guy was standing over her hitting her. He gets up off her and runs toward the gang flooring one of them. The rest of them then proceeded to kick seven shades of ****e out of him and robbed all his jewellery when he finally lost consciousness.

    I can't say I felt any sympathy for the guy.

    I've been attacked by the 'bird' after stepping in.. The bloke was doing a fine line in what looked like very painful head slapping, following behind her on the street. Her response was to try and remove my face with her nails.

    Sorry, I just walked at that point.. if you're that much of an idiot (male or female) to put up with that being 'normal', good luck to you.

    The hard truth is that nobody knows what goes on behind closed doors.

    There are *some* women that don't just like a bad boy but real bad boys and at some level the must find the drama and control a turn on.

    I'm lucky that a couple of lads (all married and have absolutely no wishes to "start" anything) I hang around with are genuinely good natured blokes and able to take care of themselves.
    That said, if I saw a girl in trouble like OP mentioned I think I'd ask the lads with me to offer assistance to the girl.
    As in one or two cases before, when the bloke hitting the girl objected to our intervention, we stood absolutely between him peacefully and her while security/bouncers were made aware of the ongoing situation.
    Then we let them handle it from there.

    I (along with my wife) have at times offered assistance at an appropiate time and a place to stay to some girl that might need help - even if it was for just a night.

    You don't, so why the "you should never hit women" crap ? Who's to say that she didn't clatter him first ?

    It was abrakebabra to be fair. They wouldn't know a cleaver, or any other knife for that matter, if it was thrusted into their goolies.
