What the heck...let's have St. Patrick's Day in October. Mayhem broke out on a street in Dublin, Ireland recently after a crowd attacked a guy who attacked a pickpocket. The incident was captured in a number of videos that have been posted online. This guy just got off a bus and was walking to work when he noticed a woman who was targeted by two pickpockets as she was pulling luggage along the street. While she was distracted by one of the thieves, the other one took her wallet out of her pocket. The guy decided to shift into brave hero mode. I'm sure this guy's name is Mike. He grabbed the pickpocket and told passersby to call the police. People started to gather around and then the pickpocket took off running. The guy ran after him, shouting.."Stop that man!" Suddenly this other guy decided to be a hero by showing off his rugby skills and tackled the pickpocket. Other people joined in but they didn't attack the pickpocket. They accused the guy and the rugby tackle guy of protecting the pickpocket. The pickpocket and the guy sought sanctuary in this store while the poor rugby tackle guy was battered to the ground by the crowd. The police showed up and the pickpocket was arrested. The rugby tackle guy got up but was a little shaky on his feet. Before the police took him to the hospital he talked to the guy. It turns out rugby tackle guy is a former policeman from New Zealand. The guy told him..."Don't worry, no good deed goes unrewarded in this town." This reminds me of an old Irish joke. Two Irishmen are engaged in a fist fight. A third Irishman comes along and asks..."Is this a personal fight or can anyone join in?"
