I thought it was like the wild west when it came to armed robbery at that time

Bank robberies were reasonably common, but actual shootings / weapons discharge was rare. Then again, I could be remembering things with rose-tinted spectacles . Certainly, someone getting shot was newsworthy for a few days. These days it's more like "meh".

Jaysoose

Whats the point of all this...there is no connection between the two stories at all..

400K a year lads and ladies..400k..

neris

Only on liveline can a pancake be linked to a woman getting shot

Fuinseog

A guard would have probably got 100k for that.

Whereas a soldier would have gotten €3.5million for damage to his hearing caused by the gunshots.

Shure I spose aside from trying to help the woman, what else would you be doing only taking photos of her.

sudzs

Oh gaaaawd, it didn't "literally" fall in your lap. :rolleyes:

The ERU took all the fun out of bank robbing

neris

He was a photgraher for readers wives joe hence the colour.

SEPT 23 1989

Paul would call this lad a "tan"

Tucking Fypo

Ahhhh. How I've missed this thread. Listening to the podcasts at night with no running discussion just wasn't the same.

surferdudz

that IS a disgrace actually.....

djemba djemba

Any chance Joe will post the photo on the website

Jaysoose

STOP SAYING CATASTROPHIC...

listen to this selfless pap...poor man got grief for profiting off an elderly woman that got shot.

tosser.

ButtersSuki

Read an interesting article on photographers recently and the remorse/guilt they felt looking back at some of the photos they took instead of doing more to help at the time.

Robert doesn't seem too traumatised though!

ThisRegard

Didn't you win an award ?
I actually didn't.


Honestly, I love Liveline.

neris

It was a great new story he says to the daughter

JonathanAnon

So he provides a public service... Just like Joe..

SEPT 23 1989

Wonder was Robert chasing Diana:D

Jaysoose

What a dick, sell them to the highest bidder and sunning himself in spain having a big laugh about it.

JonathanAnon

See how funny it would be if it was you in the bloody mess on the ground, Robert...

ButtersSuki

The "Herild" ran a 20 page commemorative pull-out and poster.:rolleyes:

Fuinseog

ButtersSuki

Joe: I wonder if they're listening would they call in?

SEPT 23 1989

We have them on line 2

Surprise Surprise

Yakuza

I posted this in the PK thread by mistake
That's rich - Joe questioning a journo about his having any qualms about his doing his job.
Joe - have you any qualms about trousering your €400k?
