Title: Marathon Runner Assaulted....
Post by: Flipside on August 29, 2004, 01:16:38 pm: Apparently the person in first place in the Olympic Marathon was leapt on by a member of the crowd and pushed into the sideline. Theres no reports up yet, but the Brzaillian runner who was attacked ended up coming in third from a 30 second lead.

There had to be one asshole didn't there :(

Post by: Flipside on August 29, 2004, 01:28:10 pm: Damn! :( Personally, I think he should be made to run the Marathon himself, with a few Greek Police dogs to help him keep pace.

Post by: Martinus on August 29, 2004, 02:16:14 pm: [color=66ff00]I wonder why the Garda* didn't chuck him into the back of a police wagon ages ago and beat seven shades of divinity out of him.

Was the runner not given some kind of compensation?
*(Ireland's police service, they don't shoot you, they have batons :D ).

Post by: Flipside on August 29, 2004, 02:22:05 pm: The only other thing they could have done was declare the Marathon Null and Void, and pin the blame on this man, but considering that he's an attention whore, it's the sort of thing he would enjoy.
It was either let the race stand as it was, or be unfair to all the other runners who have done 20 miles. I suppose they could subtract the time he was off the track from his running time, but I doubt it will feel like a victory to anyone involved no matter what :(

Post by: Levyathan on August 29, 2004, 04:03:47 pm: Well, it seems they're not going to change the final results, but the guy recieved the Pierre de Coubertin Medal. That's got to mean something.

Still, it's unfair.

Post by: Dark_4ce on August 29, 2004, 04:29:16 pm: I still don't see how assaulting a Brazillian helps in his outcry for whatever he's trying to do. But I suppose when you're an irish priest with a green tie and a Star of David embroidered on your kilt, toting a sign warning of the second coming and declaring yourself a grand prix priest, assaulting a Brazillian lead runner in an Olympic marathon shouldn't seem like a bad idea....

Still... :mad:

From what I can find out about the guy hes been based in London since he was ordained 30 years ago, so he probably be going back there. Probably explain why the garda didnt give him a "questioning" too, though priests are kinda above the law down here.

Post by: Styxx on August 30, 2004, 07:44:42 am: I suppose that being himself for the rest of his life should be punishment enough, but if any of you in Ireland/England find him, give him a beating for me.

EDIT: Oh, and he's a ****ing nutcase. Don't read anything into it beyond the fact he's simply deranged and is just as likely to run up and down the streat covered in nothing but green jelly.
