My point was that it was inevitable, most of these career criminals end up having a work related death.

Ha! It has to be reported to the Health and Safety Authority!

:pac: At least you acknowledged it.

AFAIK you could actually be correct but only if the government specifically outlawed and named membership of these gangs.

Maybe they should do that and treat it the same way they treat terrorism.

Armed Gardai on the streets of Dublin and they couldn't stop the attack.

Shows what an easy target Dublin is for an attack.

yeah, it should have been fucking easy for them to stop it :rolleyes: just a snap of the fingers for any police force with a speck of competence. I suppose you could spend all night listing similar places where nothing like this could ever take place.

Too busy protecting a water meter i'd say.

FFS, this water shite is like a fucking mould, springing up everywhere. Some moaning cunt in a thread about a Springsteen gig even managed to bring it up earlier, I shit you not, the stupid fucker even claimed "I hate to bring it up, but".

Yeah I did.

But love hate glorifies these people. Young fellas watching think that lifestyle is the best thing ever.

I disagree. Love/Hate depicted "gangland" as a pretty miserable existence rife with paranoia and needless violence. There was a miserable tone throughout all seasons and pretty much every main character had some kind of horrifying ordeal at one point another. I didn't see any glorification or glamorisation.

The courts have a big part to play in sorting young criminals out too before it gets into serious stuff like the gangland crime.
Judges are too quick to throw out cases and are not putting the victims first or taking their view seriously --

Jaysus rough going in the big smoke. Honestly, if these thugs wanna blow the head off each other let them off. I'm just worried about some poor innocent getting caught in the cross fire.

Well your man killed tonight was far from innocent but he wouldn't exactly have been a violent thug either.

He was only killed because he was a soft target, not because he was involved in any of the violence himself.

Yeah the shooting happened near my area.

The shooting and law enforcement featuring heavily on The Live Debate, RTE Radio 1, at this moment.

It's still operating in the south vs dissidents....all you need for conviction is the word of a senior gaurd (highly suspect IMO)

I've seen you say this before in another thread, and I'm afraid you're wrong.

The belief of a senior guard cannot convict on its own, corroborating evidence is needed.

Yeah that's quite true actually.

no link just on radio . 104

I heard it on 104 just there too. They don't have anymore details or if it's related to the other two. Wasn't one of the guys from Friday from Tallaght? He checked himself out of hospital yesterday. Could be totally unrelated tho.

John Dundon was convicted for the murder of Shane Geoghegan in the SCC.

He wasn't afraid to intimidate witnesses (he hired a hitman to murder potential witnesses). If it wasn't for the SCC there is a good likelihood that a jury would be intimidated.

There were others, but if it just for this guy, the court is worth having.

There was a case not so long ago where lists with the names and addresses of jury members were found during a search on the home of an associate of a leading gangland criminal which just goes to show.

I wouldn't agree to be on a jury for a gang related case

Ah Jaysus!!!!

The Snapper is on.

I have to say though, Hutches were under pressure after Friday. Would it not have been beyond the wit of the gardai to put surveillance on the houses of Hutch family members ??

The penthouse apartment, the money, the cars, the cocaine, the parties. Hard men doing whatever they wanted and for the most part getting away with it and being both feared and respected by their underlings.

All that would seem glamorous to the kinds of people who get into that business.

failing to answer can be deemed as corroborating evidence. Ownership of a poster can be deemed likewise. I'm surprised "looking too fenian" isn't allowed.

Anyway, all of this is rather moot, as its certain one crowd don't buy the cira story.

You can give evidence anonymously. I don't know how many people received their sentences from the SCC but I know Michael McKevitt and other well-known dissident republicans. Would you be favour of abolishing this court? So SF can protect their dissident buddies?

Yeah that's exactly what it is, Gerry and Martin protecting the lads who issued death threats against them just a few weeks ago.

The CIRA nonsense was clearly an election stunt to throw shïte at the Shinners. There's an election coming up afterall.

Well McGuinnes himself, and other SF members, have convictions from the court. So it's definitely in their interest to see it abolished.

But of course, gangland activity does not exist according to SF.

Wow. So some lad from Mayo rang the BBC to pin the murder on the CIRA. Do you know your IRA branches even?

Yeah, I don't reckon that one lad getting hooped with a pool cue was very glamorous and aspirational.

What? How is getting rid of it going to quash any convictions that were issued in the past?
