Wonder if the guy has been stupid enough to forget about his €490,000 under the floor boards?.........

I think we should just set up a forum for head shops.

Nope. Most likely drug dealers getting pissed off about the publicity the head shops have been getting. But they needn't worry...once the rebels without a clue have succeeded in their campaign to ban the head shops, the dealers will be alright again and business will pick back up. Then people can get back to whinging about drug related murders.

Not obviously at all. Gardai have not ruled out the Capel Street shop being targeted by either vigilantes or drug dealers.

hmmm... should I leave me bed and go in to do some work ? (I'm a freelance photographer - these pics could make me a couple of hundred euro)

unconfirmed report of a fire in town ...hmm.... I'm 20mins away from North King Street.

will text a friend to find out if theres a fire or not (she lives in the apartments on North King Street ...I dont remember seeing a head shop on the street though)...unless they mean the hairdressers.

EDIT: She says she cant hear any sirens....she's already in bed and not getting out of bed unless the fire is in her apartment ...all I can say is that the fire if its happening is not near the cobblestone pub (her apartment is next to that)

Think its the one facing the college, only about 500m from the first head shop. If it is true, i'd say it is locals

On a completely unrelated note, is one able to libel an illegal paramilitary organisation which is involved in the illicit drugs trade, I'm wondering, IReallyAm?

So if I'm reading this thread correctly - every Head Shop on the Northside is up in flames.

if its true then obviously dealers are targetting them.

I'm sure the drug dealers will call Liveline to thank him when they get their business back.

Your friend is obviously inhaling smoke from the fire, she's on a mellow buzz right now, text her again in a while, when the fire has spread to the section with white powders

I went by it on a bus around 10 didn't see any firemen but the guards where there and had the place all taped up and an emergency ESB crew was there so could have started from the electrics

More likely just making the electrics safe before entering the building.
