    Just want to say, I thought the OP was great in Under Siege, but the sequel was awful.

    If it were me I would send a copy of your post to your local Garda Superintendant BY REGISTERED LETTER from your local post office and ask him for his advice on this matter. Keep this letter receipt so you can see if needed who signed for the letter in the garda station for your solicitor should the occasion arise.End

    Do you think someone in and out of prison since they are a teenager and with 50, 60, 70 convictions is gong to take a blind bit of notice about a court order?



  • Registered Users Posts: 1,728 ✭✭✭Sugar_Rush


    Your own views about law enforcement are irrelevant to a situation you are involved in personally

    If this type of subculture wasn't allowed to run rampant, this wouldn't be an issue for me.

    And a lot of hardship and difficulty could be omitted from the lives of many many decent and civilized folk.

    Enforcement protocols are being scrutinized and examined by both media, government and the police commissioner currently.

    So yes, it's very relevant to me personally.

    In fact I take it personally that this is allowed to happen and not being challenged by law enforcement, when the rest of us are held to such an impeccable standard.

    Scrotes get away with murder but the common civilized man or woman can have their life destroyed with the slightest infraction.

     I'm sure you'll have a personal meeting with the Minister before this day week.

    I was actually making the point that if Conor McGregor got on twitter or wrote a public statement condemning enforcement protocol, then the quote would probably come into effect.

    You say you are involved in combat sports & that you're successful at it.

    That means a high degree of training, discipline and time out of your week even in the lower devisions for a long time. Things that affect every aspect of your life from diet to social yet this is the first time you've talked about it on boards.ie even though you talk about plenty of other aspects of your life.

    Why is that?



  • Registered Users Posts: 1,728 ✭✭✭Sugar_Rush


    does he know your girlfriend or any of her family etc and would he have a hang up about a settled person going out with a traveller.?

    I'm not too familiar with his ethnic persuasions I'm afraid.

  • Registered Users Posts: 1,728 ✭✭✭Sugar_Rush


    Which?

    Talk about what?

    If you're referring to combat sports then it's cause there's any number of keyboard warriors out there I firmly wish to dodge.

    I agree with Claw Hammer. Sending registered post to Superintendents trying to draw them on it, is basically an effot to back them into a corner. That is going to achieve just one thing - piss them off and and they won't have much sympathy for you as you'll come across as a crank. You are rubbing them up the wrong way as it is by the sound of it.

    Fact is, no offence has been committed against you - so the Gardai have no role to play here.

    Unfortunately, in itself, being a scumbag and hanging making a nuisance of oneself on the street is not an arrestable offence.

    But I think you know all this, but you are just trying to prove some point or other.

    I don't know what your story is or if it is related to being from another culture, but you seem to have a mighty sense of entitlement and unrealistic expectations of what the Gardai will do for you. And you also some sort of attitude or notions what with the convoluted extravagant phrases to refer to your car.

    I suggest this....you need take a breath to cop yourself on and drop this superiority act.



  • Registered Users Posts: 1,728 ✭✭✭Sugar_Rush


     And you also some sort of attitude or notions what with the convoluted extravagant phrases to refer to your car.

    I never said it was a car.

    I said it was a "vehicle".

    Whatever dude. That's more of it.

    As for the MMA, i'm surprised that you get much time in to train with all the anal bleaching and obsessing over your appearance that you seem to be preoccupied with according to your post history.

    Whole thing is a bit dubious to be honest. A wind up I reckon at this stage.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,143 ✭✭✭GavPJ


    Kick the **** out of him.

    And if he doesn't piss off, kick the **** out of him again.

    Repeat if necessary.



  • Registered Users Posts: 1,728 ✭✭✭Sugar_Rush


    How can you know my post history?

    My profile is set to private.

    And no, it's not a wind up.

    Just FYI some poster called "Witcher" has been going about this thread thanking all the posts criticizing my accounting of events.

    But without making any contribution themselves.

    Reminds me of that dude from "Trading Places".

    "Yeah!!".

    What's the beef?

    The private profile option was disabled a while back. And tbh, people know you're a total Walter Mitty even without having to check your post history. Recurrent sh*tposters tend to get remembered.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 928 ✭✭✭Everlong1


    You're living in a country where scumbags with 150 plus convictions are walking the streets free and clear, and where rapists, child molesters and violent thugs who stab, slash and beat people to a pulp regularly stroll out of court with suspended sentences. Law and order in this country is now a joke and you can expect zero support from the State. Self defence is your only option.



  • Registered Users Posts: 1,728 ✭✭✭Sugar_Rush


    I agree and good point.

    But of course the purpose here was largely to preclude my own conviction or criminalizing myself, in the instance of self defence.

    However we've covered some great points.

    Take out my phone and MAKE A RECORDING next time this happens.

    Any chance your Traveller GF might have a few brothers who could get a hold of this scummer and give him a good hiding? You could arrange to be out socialising with friends when it happens so you have an alibi and he can't touch you.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 87,605 ✭✭✭✭JP Liz V1


    Is he after your girlfriend or a relative of hers?

    Can you get a restraining order against him?



  • Registered Users Posts: 1,728 ✭✭✭Sugar_Rush


    lol

    Why do I get the impression I'm being ridiculed?

    I never said I had a traveller GF.

    I said BRIEFLY dated a traveller girl, and I contend that act seriously ruffled billy-bad-ass's feathers.

    He saw her all over me and that either caught his interest or made him see red.

    Maybe he went into a jealous rage? Maybe he became infatuated with how a refined gentleman such as myself, could transcend such a vast cultural divide?

    After all, his type is the one meant to be "folksy" and "street wise".

    But ever since then he's been on my case.

    For moderators, please let me give you my upmost assurance this is not a troll.

    I could probably even verify it if you wish to contact me privately, but disclosing police information probably isn't a great move.

    But rest assured this is genuine.

    confirmed.

    For Starters the Cops should have been obliged to at least question your bogey man as he as exhibited blatant harassing behaviour which is illegal.

  • Registered Users Posts: 201 ✭✭shalom


    Well, would you consider it to be of any consideration? I'm not asking your opinion on his ethnic persuasions. Do you think this other person is solely concentrating on yourself or could they be any other mitigating factors involved? Looking at all your other posts I can build a profile of you and your description of other people in your other posts show what type of person you are yourself. I hope you continue with your body building, it seems to be about all you have. I wish you well in your life and hope your got you apartment difficulties sorted, your problem there being housed next to homeless people.....

    This threat is nonsense.

    We noble gentlemen should all mount out modes of conveyance and retire honourably from this debacle of a thread.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26,712 ✭✭✭✭Peregrinus


    Under Firearms and Offensive Weapons Act 1990 section 16, if a member of the Garda Siochana suspects with reasonable cause that someone has an offensive weapon, he can search that person.

    But the "reasonable cause" bit is crucial. This guy having a previous conviction for carrying an offensive weapon falls well short of reasonable cause for a guard to suspect that he is carrying one now, every time the guard sees him. And in all your long history of encounters with this bloke, as detailed in the OP, you never once claim to have seem the guy with an offensive weapon, so the guards don't even have a witness alleging that he has carried an offensive weapon, much less that he routinely carries one.

    So, no.

    And the Gardai are also not going to entertain video footage of him giving you guff on your phone.



  • Registered Users Posts: 969 ✭✭✭Green Peter


    Maybe he should go back with the traveller girl and have the backing of her family until it blows over. Best of luck op.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 928 ✭✭✭Everlong1


    My bad, apologies - certainly wasn't trying to ridicule you.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,881 ✭✭✭John_Rambo


    I don't know Sugar. I lived in an area where pugilistic endeavours were very popular, I trained with them, worked with them and I've never met a fighter that doesn't like to talk about themselves and their accomplishments.

    Ever.

    Is your story hypothetical by any chance? It's fantastical and makes for great teenage reading; "The seasoned fighter who fell in love with the wrong girl, the mean street criminal thwarted by the fighter that wouldn't engage through amazing discipline and self control". Do you have an amazing New York loft style apartment with a punch bag hanging from the steel girders and a Schwinn bike hanging on the wall?



  • Registered Users Posts: 1,728 ✭✭✭Sugar_Rush


    I've never met a fighter that doesn't like to talk about themselves and their accomplishments.

    You absolutely speak the truth.

    And that was me, one time.

    Anyone who would listen, "I'm fighting this weekend in the stadium, former Celtic Cup champion, real bad ass, gonna be tough...... are you impressed?".

    And of course plenty more where I came from. A dude introduced himself to me in a club one time with the sentence, "I boxed on the Olympic trials for Poland". No "hey, what's happening. My name is.....", no. "I boxed on the Olympic trials for Poland". He was everything else you would expect. Mean boxer, excellent athlete, almost entirely socially inept and a total kiss ass to women.

    And I was thinking, "Jebus, am I like this? Can't be that bad!".

    You know what the truth is? No one Gives A F**K if you can fight or no!!

    Girls certainly aren't impressed.

    Talking about being a badass fighter is overcompensation for lack of social/emotional/behavioural aptitude.

    ........

    Don't get me wrong, nothing wrong with an interest, a passion, maybe even a career. If it contributes to being in shape and having a good body? Yes, chicks dig that for sure.

    But sounding off about it for no valid reason other than to get attention, is incredibly weak sauce, and they're the type of dudes that might look tough but typically struggle in refined social settings.

  • Registered Users Posts: 1,728 ✭✭✭Sugar_Rush


    That being said, when you're young and just coming up in the sport it's excusable.

    But a grown ass man talking jive about his combat sporting accomplishments?

    Yeah. In the history of fighting fighters never trash talk or big themselves up.

    Join the MMA club if that's what you would like to do and stop spoofing online, you're embarrassing yourself.



  • Registered Users Posts: 1,728 ✭✭✭Sugar_Rush


    Would you be shocked if I said one of my former opponents is a current UFC champion?

    And what you're referring to is event promotion, not random "hey check me out I'm a bad ass!!".

  • i don’t suspect anyone would by shocked regardless of what you say. Reading the majority of it just had me feeling like that guy from Beyond Belief.

    There’s almost nothing in these stories that’s true imo and you’re definitely just attention seeking or something at this stage.

    The justice department can't do anything or put him under house arrest on your say. The guy has rights too and if the gardai take action against him they will have to prove their case same as they would with you. To get a house arrest order they would have to go by the law which applies to it.

    I don't know why you would care about going over a gardas head

    You are entitled to write to the superintendent but the law applies to him too.

    There are laws around searching someone. Respectfully, you should read up some law because you seem to think the justice department can create laws to suit your situation

    .

    If he does anything report it every time. If he persists he might get into harassment

    What do you mean regarding Conor McGregor? If he put what on twitter?





  • I think what they’re saying is if he tweeted that the garda aren’t doing what the OP wants cos he’s being a crybaby they’ll do what he wants cos Conor did a tweet.

    basically the Gardai will change their policies and procedures in the blink of an eye cos he tweeted?

    seems unlikely.



  • Posts: 0 [Deleted User]


    Ok I see now.

    He seems to think they can pull laws out of the air for him.

    A Conor tweet won't change laws.



  • Posts: 0 [Deleted User]


    If you fought at that level you should be easily able to restrain him without hurting him seriously. You should have been able to side step when he bumped into you.

    You are allowed use reasonable force. Learn some knife defences and add some holds training if that is not part of your current training



  • Registered Users Posts: 1,728 ✭✭✭Sugar_Rush


    You're missing the point.

    This guy is a dipsh*t, he's nothing, a nobody. Of course I could restrain him.

    I DID side step him, and he still knocked into me, cause I wasn't going to side step him too wide, just enough to say, "I'm attempting to de-escalate, but I'm not letting you walk through me" - so if a law enforcement official saw it, they'd clearly see he was an unreasonable aggressor, but at the same time they wouldn't have to say to me, "you need to stand up for yourself more".

    i.e. it needs to unquestionably demonstrate his wrong doing and unacceptable anti-social attitude.

    This is not a physical battle, it's a battle of a sneaky little crawler, attempting to tear down someone he evidently hates - or resents the hell out of - even if it means a little self-compromise in his mind, like maybe taking a box to the chin? To him that will be worth it.

    In other words, it's a battle against the justice system in many respects, in so far as the degree to which I can put my hands on him, without being legally culpable.

    .....

    And that's what I was saying, he's sneaky AF. He hasn't maintained his "bad boy" alter ego all his life successfully, without being challenged on it or its fakeness being exposed, for no reason.

    I have all what you mention to hand, wrestling, boxing, joint locks, wrist locks. At one time I spent vacations as a security guard in bars/nightclubs and part of the job was drilling de-escalatory submissions together so you wouldn't have to go full-on brawl-mode (though no doubt many of you will think this is more "Walter Mitty" fantasy telling........ one place I worked was a strip club....... how do you like that?)
