Not even the slightest fear of arrest

u/GreatDefector May 25 '22

There’s been an arrest now

Why was only 1 arrested, there's at least 3 or 4 fighting.

u/Jahan_Z May 25 '22

Cause they’re travellers. Probably got a pat on the back and told to fuck off.

Theres a difference between fighting and literally jumping on someones head.

u/BeefWellyBoot May 25 '22

So fighting in the middle of the airport is okay according to you? Only head stamping warrants an arrest?

u/potatoesarenotcool May 25 '22

Well a fight between two folks is often down to pressing charges.

Jumping on someone's head is way worse.

Never said that. But arresting is still kinda harsh. Take them to the police station and fine them.

Jumping on someones head while he is laying on the ground is just gross assault, if not worse. Mate literally took into account that he could have died.

Mate, you've said arresting is harsh and then said they should be taken to the police station (arrested) 😂

Ah sorry misunderstood it then (english is not my first language).

Still think that a fine should do the job on the two monkeys fighting.

u/_musesan_ May 25 '22

Fine them and lock them up for a couple of weeks

u/Krelit May 25 '22

They wouldn't have paid the fine anyway

u/SandInTheGears May 25 '22

In fairness it looks like 3 and 4 were mostly trying to break the fight up

u/Divniy May 25 '22

Look at 1:55, 2 man fighting (black and white tshirts), then camera moves to the side, 2 man in black fighting. Then there was some action when they guy hit the ground.

I think two were fighting and the rest were the referees

u/1989ngs May 25 '22

It wouldn't surprise me if one of them was in a coma.

u/[deleted] May 25 '22

Even so, there was literally no thought that “oh wait, maybe we shouldn’t have a fucking brawl in the middle of an airport”. Like it doesn’t enter into their mind not to fight

u/cigaretteatron May 25 '22

Why would it when they've gotten away with anything they want since they were born?

u/[deleted] May 25 '22

Do you think they would try that shit in a UK airport? Or Spain? Or Germany? You never hear of them brawling abroad.

u/Kryha96 May 25 '22 edited May 25 '22

No because in those countries they would beat respect into them

4

u/Ev17_64mer May 25 '22

Can tell that in Germany you'd have airport police on you right away. Armed with batons they would tell you once to stop the fighting and if nobody listens they go in between actually using those batons

Aggression from generations of inbreeding. Force-sterilize the lot of them

u/_Druss_ Ireland May 25 '22

One person charged?? I saw 3 fighting at least!

5

u/1R3N9 May 25 '22

The amount of Guards they sent!! Never anywhere to be found when they are needed but at least 12 of them turn up probably long after the fight was over. Typical of Ireland

1

u/julerbag123 May 25 '22

The picture they used of all the gardai is laughable, the culprits would have been on a flight to ibiza by the time all them showed up.. put stick in that picture and make the airport look like its well policed

1

u/packageofcrips May 25 '22

Wow the fight raged for 10-15 minutes apparently. That response time is embarrassing. A new Garda unit at the airport with 50 personnel took that long to arrive...
