    I was just thinking...

    With all the gangland shootings and murders currently going on in Ireland, is it only a matter of time before someone innocent gets hurt, or worse still killed? Ok I didn't realise but share your gangland stories anyway. I'm not Irish//

    Ehh.. it's not 1946. Many innocent people have already been killed as a result of gangland crime


  • Registered Users Posts: 19,473 ✭✭✭✭Super-Rush

    I was also wondering,.....With all the rain we've had recently, is it only a matter of time before the ground gets wet?

    Been a while since there were any gangland murders. Hopefully that keeps up.

    With the recession, the criminals cant afford the cost of bullets.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,576 ✭✭✭IrishAm


    Way too late. They have already murdered many an innocent Irish citizen. Scum. My area is destroyed by the pricks. Selling their death. All the kids look up to them. See the lifestyle as cool, like the flash cars and clothes. Arrest the pricks, put them in a chain gang picking up rubbish. Demean the fuck out of them.

    I hate them with an unhealthy passion.

    It's not fianna fail party members that hang around outside at night dealing out stabbings and abuse to the decent people who are trying to live here.

    It's tribal scumbags.

    They can kill each other. Not one bollix would I give. Its when they start to push their heavily cut brown powder on me younger brother and my community that I start to give a bollix.

    They are filth. Each and every last one of them. Parasites. Utter vermin.

    The Italians would say that about the Irish in New York, John Gotti once referred to them as "Fcuking Animals". Where the Mafia had organisational structures and a direct chain of command Irish mobs like the Westies were free for alls with members aimlessly killing on a regular basis and drawing unwanted heat on organised crime in the city. Its the reason why the Irish gangs always remained small time while the Italian families became incredibly powerful and wealthy.

    History, bud.

    Now, how do I get rid of the drug dealing(heroin) scum that ravage certain parts of west Dublin?

    Maybe Michael D can have a chat with them.

    Shootouts on the M50, kids being burnt in a car, mothers being shot at their front door, pipebombs under cars.......Ireland has it all.
    Talk to Joe......


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,496 ✭✭✭Boombastic


    They should have nearly all shot each other at this stage, or am I being too optimistic?

    When you say chat do you mean "chat" ?

    Things are pretty quiet these days compared to 10-15 years ago when 20-30 people a year were being killed by gangland related violence. That said it does appear that so called pipe bombs are now so common they are hardly reported unless someone gets hurt like the Wicklow boy mentioned in the article above.

    I think it's worth noting that the homicide rate in Ireland, which includes gangland murders amongst all other homicides is extremely low. We're one of the best in the world at not killing each other. We're a good bit ahead of the UK, we're 5 times less likely to be murdered than an American and a whopping 100 times less likely than a Honduran.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_intentional_homicide_rate

    Of course every murder, gangland or not, is terrible and horrific, but at the same time we don't need to buy into the Sunday World bullsh1t that it's only a matter before we're killed in our sleep by a murderous gang of raping drug-dealing paedophiles.

    You know, I hate the word "drug pusher". People rarely "push" drugs on anyone- people take it of their own free will.

    Legalising/decriminalising drugs would help a lot.

    I was reading about honduras muder rate recently


    It is quite incredible, the scale of it.
    The National Commission for Human Rights has calculated that there is a violent death every 74 minutes in this small nation of about eight million people.
