He had nothing attached to his arm to stop that flap he suffers from. note, whenever there is a big meeting or media event , he carries something under his arm to straighten it. how amazing must it be to paid a lot of money to tell him that! Have not seen the other dude, but will peel my eyes.

Did he have beady eyes and glasses by chance? Portly and missing most of his hair save for a bit of fair hair on each side, pointy nose? Speak in a pompous arrogant manner? Rant on about republican consiracies etc? Oh, hang on, Im mixing your weirdo up with the other sicko from Ranelagh, a member of a far right minicule party of gov.

Hope you never bump into either of them again,

mostly hanging around the bus stop across from the swan centre and once talked to him outside the store.st garad station, thought he was a cop. insited he was 'Brian, the king of the little people' pretty scary all right...but another good reason to fight capitialism - this is what its doing to ppl in society!!

Thanks, he was too thin for his height, which may have made him appear elongated,taller. he had a grey complexion , definitely. He was right up into my face at one point, as he was squeezing my hand. it was scary, but I put it up as a public notice. re reporting , I did not go to the gardai as Dunnes said that they would hand over the cctv footage to them. I left my name and number with them.
I do feel it was serious and it worried me.

Think I saw yer man looking very inocuous walking along the park side of Kenilworth today as I left my daughter's home!!! Certainly the tweeds and a big hat. But perhaps not - he did not strike me as overly thin or tall, medium sized rather, and rather greyfaced, with ??? some hair on face. Could it be??

I had a similar experience in Bewley's a couple of years ago. The man was escorted out by security once I'd managed to alert them. He started shouting abuse once I made it clear I wasn't interested in engaging with him, and everybody around pretended not to notice. He very overtly aggressive, and I wondered who his next. When you scratch beneath the surface (or merely read the research), you find there are very few women who haven't had such an experience at some stage in their lives, either as a girl or an adult. That's a fact I've always found disturbing.

"I would have let it go. But it played in my head all day and I know that he picked me out and did it purposefully. My little girl was not with me. How far does he want to go. The game, I think, is to see how far he can get and he might pick the wrong girl."

From what you say about the way he crushed your hand, there's little or no room for doubt about this. This is a violent criminal, an aggressive man who may have abused women or girls before and who may be looking for women who can be bullied into further abuse, and even rape. And he may have a psychiatric condition that will respond to treatment.

Have you reported him to the Gardaí? That's what they're there for, after all. Not to facilitate the CIA torture shuttle passing through Shannon, but among other things to protect women from violent assault.

If a strong person like you doesn't do everything you can to make it difficult for this man to go about his abusive business of assaulting women, then he may go on to abuse somebody more vulnerable.

Best,
