    They'd place you under arrst and you'd go quietly.

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    Don't tell me what to do.


    Sweet Valley high, what is up with these kids today, is kindergarten cancelled this week due to the fall prom or something? I mean it must be 80 degrees out there man. Damn, I need a soda.

    Has anyone said with strong gardai yet? That's my answer, with strong gardai.

    To answer your original question they would call in the army, if the Irish army couldn't take you down our government would request help from our friends in Europe who have bigger/better army's.
    Please dont go all king kong on us and smash up our country.

    Pepper spray, baton, superior numbers, firearms, tazer, restraint, be bigger than you.

    I'm 5ft 9inches, 20 years in. You aren't the first big asshole to think like this and If I do need backup, there's cops bigger than you with a lot more experience at fighting big assholes that I can hide behind and call you names while they do the work


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,874 ✭✭✭Allinall


    Most big lads come quietly, in my experience.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,118 ✭✭✭Melanchthon


    Saw a big lad that actually put up a fight take six guards to get him so the OP has a point. The answer is though they will swarm you and kick the head of you once they get you in the back of the van


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,896 ✭✭✭Irishphotodesk


    I like the answer. Regarding size, there is a reason there are weight categories in UFC. If anyone could take out anyone then 155lb class would be fighting 240 and vice versa.

    it is possible for anyone to take out anyone else - using the correct tools/techniques, the reason there are weight categories in fight clubs like UFC is to make it more appealing to the audience, "two evenly matched looking people - who will be the victor"

    have a quick search for bruce lee and watch some of the opponents and how he was able to disable them.

    no matter what you've heard before, SIZE DOESNT MATTER !! lol

    I wonder what's the tactics that they use. In the USA you'd just get executed with a pistol. I'm 6ft6 and can squat around 700lb, bench 415 and deadlift 800lb wondering how they could take me out since I could lift up the whole group of them.

    I'm 6'4 so 2 inches shorter than you O Great One, but my Judo trainer a few years ago was 5'4 and could fling me about like I was a tennis ball.


  • Posts: 5,369 [Deleted User]


    Ah ok, you're one of those.

    If we said bows and arrows, i'm sure you'd have trained under Sir Robin of Loxley. :rolleyes:

    If someone went to Tenerife, you'd have been to Elevenerife.

    G'luck

    This is pure brilliance. Bravo sir, bravo


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 692 ✭✭✭kaahooters


    Ok but need to lift me as well. I'm 280lb

    there more then one gard like. so tell me, ive two questions for ya

    1: if your that big, howd ya wipe yer arse?

    2: does your arse get jealous of the sh*t that comes outta yer mouth?

    The point the OP raises is valid, so I'm happy to address it.

    99% of arrests are boring and uneventful. It's always the non-compliant ones that make for exciting telly.

    It's as simple as this, if you resist, the Gardaí call in colleagues. If you're a physically big, strong, alpha-bro, then they'll just call in as many as it takes to bring you under control. At some point, you'll then become a danger to the public too, so Lassie might make a guest appearance if you really want to get hurt.

    In short, as many as it takes.

    Including Lassie.

    Lassie's useless. Lassie just runs for help.

    Now stick Cujo in there and we'll see that happens. Won't need anywhere near as many guards.

    Size matters. End off, anything else is nonsense. Now that'snot to say there are not other factors at play, there are.

    First they came for the socialists...

    I'm aware. I'm a brown belt in jiu jiutsu too. I've started before going into the weightlifting game.
    Ah ok, you're one of those.

    Bob Sapp was basically a novice kick boxer when he twice defeated one of the greatest of all time in Ernesto Hoost. Sapp was about 180kg at the time and simply manhandled the fecker, so yes size does matter at a certain point.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,609 ✭✭✭stoneill


    They would go for the collar bone first - easy to break and incapacitates easy, if your still flouncing about, it's your kneecaps next.
    They have seen plenty of 6'6" blokes

    There would be three or four of them with batons and tasers.

    They'd just crack you over the head from behind.
    Kneecaps are also a good one, or behind the knee so you fall over.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 32,956 ✭✭✭✭Omackeral


    Wonder if OP is getting off to these replies...

    These 2 things are correlated. All fighters lift weights. Not all weighlifters train in martial arts.

    For Goodness Sake! You missed what will surely be the best post of the thread...

    "......Elevenerife"


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,012 ✭✭✭✭banie01


    Aye, but can ya do all that with a taser up your hole?

    Nobody tells you that there's a good chance that you will piss yourself when you get tazered!:eek:
    Thats a secret the elite keep away from us plebs ;)

    On the subject of arresting strong lads, like the "specimen" OP....
    Don't kid yourself, the Gardaí are like a well drilled hunting pack when it comes to assholes!
    They will use joint lock and control tactics, cuff you and **** you into the back of a wagon fairly quickly.


    *I've been that asshole :o and had the hand surgery afterwards to fix the damage I caused myself by being an asshole and resisting a very lawful arrest ;)
    I'm not quite the man mountain the OP is!:eek:
    But I am 6'5", strong and to top it off have years of doorwork experience behind me...:cool:
    They still took me down without resorting to anything other than physical restraint.
    The Gardaí do no not get enough recognition for their de-escalation and control skills.
    Not everything needs a bullet...:mad:
    Sometimes an asp is enough :pac:

    and most people being arrested aren't 6'6 and 700000lbs of pure muscle and trained in martial arts like the OP says they are.

    but when has logic and facts gotten a "thanks" in after hours ?

    If you’re telling the truth on your lifts, I’m genuinely impressed!

    You post just like Mr F; it's uncanny. Shame you never met him. He was 1ft6 shorter than you and was also a great character.

    Tasers are ineffective, especially when wearing layers of clothes. Plenty of videos about it.

    Not when connected to your eyeballs!!

    Both were sanctioned kickboxing bouts in the K1 world Grand Prix, prior to which he had 6 months kickboxing training.

    I'd imagine, you being a law abiding member of society, they'd say "I'm arresting you under section tumpty tump of the blah blah act, please get into the car"

    Then you'd say "Surely there must be some mistake, I'm a law abiding member of society, but yes, let's discuss this at the nearest garda station, ideally in the presence of a solicitor".

    Then you might say "Would you mind moving the seat forward a little please? I'm 6'6", and a bit squashed in here?"

    At some point, depending on their standard operating procedures, they might ask you for your name and address, and also to put out your hands for handcuffs, which you'd duly comply with.

    Can't speak for garda cars, but cop cars in the states have fixed seats that can't be moved forward. They're designed to be hard wearing, easily cleanable and uncomfortable.

    I'm only 6'1 and I was squirming (and I was only getting a lift because I was lost)

    Honestly, if a situation occurred where I was getting arrested, I'd kick up enough of a stink for the public order van......

    And then someone punched Sapp in the face and found out he didn't like that so Sapp spent the rest of his career as a punchbag

    I'm 6ft 5 and about 98kg in weight OP
    I'm a black belt in karate and took up boxing when I was younger for years.
    And all it would take is a single guard to arrest me.

    If I was a scum bag it would take a few of them but there's no doubt they'd get the arrest with me badly battered and bruised.

    Don't mess with the guards.

    Of course he is and always will be. Someone with an ego that size will always be single.

    That is fine and all but do you think I would just stand there and wait doing nothing while you call for backup? I'd just run away and that's it and if you attempt to wrestle me to the ground, I'd just do an armbar submission.

    Gardaí don't arrest people for only swearing in public. There aren't enough holding cells in the country to cater for that. But even if they did, why would you be resisting arrest?

    If you've a fetish for gettin' the scutter bet out of you, you could get someone better lookin than your average Gard to do it.
