    How many times have you heard the dismissive phrase "the deceased was known to the gardaí"?

    That's a euphemism

    The cops and the media don't care about gangland crime, as long as the criminals are shooting at each other.

    This laissez faire attitude has allowed a culture to grow up of criminals settling disputes with guns.

    The same police and media who have so little to say about this are horrified when civilians are, inevitably, caught in the crossfire.

    All well as soft terms like "row" and "feud" which the media use to describe events leading up to the point of murder

    How is the 'feud' term inaccurate? Most victims already know the person who shoots them.

    He almost made a slip up there after the mobile was causing a problem - just started to say 'fire away' to the father of the shooting victim but stopped himself

    There is actually no reason for this man to be on the radio...other than the grief porn needs of duffy and his researchers.

    Very tough on the families but why does the fact that a person doesn't smoke mean they are a better person?

    It is used as if it made sense of criminal murders, as if the victims were somehow to blame for being killed by belonging to a particular family or group.

    It also paints the killers as if they were part of some sort of tribal society from the primitive past, who had less than full control over their actions.
