    Garda believe that two men whose bodies were recovered from the Grand Canal in north Kildare were murdered because of a drug debt.Both men were blasted in the head with a shotgun. One also appeared to have been interrogated by his abductors and a tattoo had been removed from his arm in an apparent bid to slow down identification of the body.
    The two young victims, aged 19 and 20, are thought to have owed money to a big drug trafficker from the Ballyfermot area after a half kilo of heroin was intercepted at Dublin Airport last month.

    This in 2000, lad found tonight was charged & aquitted of the murders.

    I still can't quite believe the Independent use words like "blasted" in their articles. Utter shıtpiece rag of a paper.

    So when the shooter was told to take car of the Guinea pig, he should have read the link.

    In fairness, those two in the photo do kinda look like gangsters.

    (And the rabbit down the bottom looks shít scared of them)

    Google "blast shotgun" followed by the name of any newspaper and I suspect it's common enough amongst all of them.

    Because Justice encompasses law and order, and clearly it is right for the Minister to condemn a breakdown.

    Shotgun blast is fair enough. The verb "blasted" is not.

    Hard to have sympathy.

    Not saying any of these lads are the full shilling, but I never understood how leaving a rotting corpse in a canal helped you collect a debt.

    Makes sure nobody else makes the same mistake. They think it is respect they get. They're too thick to realise it's fear.

    The Indo is a sensationalist rag. Just because it's lefty/liberal it's seems to get a free pass on this from a lot of people. Straight for the emotional response every time.

    Message to future debtors. None of these lovely characters want to be seen as a soft touch. The debt can be €20 or €200,000. It's an unforgiving, cruel, horrible, unregulated scene where weakness creates a vacuum for the next class acts. And they always seem to be worse than the ones before them.

    Well, yeah. I would have thought this would be an alarm bell for everybody not to deal with them at all.
    Legalise drugs today. Problem disappears tomorrow.

    Exactly. The war on drugs is well lost globally. Time to take control from this bunch of hamfisted eedgits. Tax it and be damned.

    Really? You think these thugs will go get an honest job or live on the dole?

    Why, what other line of work do you think they'll make millions in besides drug dealing? What's the disadvantage of legalising drugs?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,061 ✭✭✭✭John_Rambo

    People trafficking, prostitution, illegal child activity, extortion, fuel laundering, cheap-better-more dangerous alternatives to the legal drugs etc... the list goes on.

    They won't be happy on the dole alone.

    I'm not against legalising drugs necessarily, but it's incredibly naive to think that it will solve the crime problem and all these criminal gangs will go straight.

    Well, we would have a rare few extra euros to combat that. It's also a pretty crowded few professions as is.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,060 ✭✭✭✭anewme


    People under estimate how much up bringing has on these type of people.

    It's how u break the cycle.

    Crowded few professions? More shootings, more innocent victims. Also, easily fixed by targeting more victims. Don't be fooled, history will tell you, once on avenue is blocked, another one will be found. Car theft, protection rackets, tiger theft, child porn, online extortion etc...

    They won't just "go on the dole".

    I know that but they will never find a revenue stream as lucrative and as easy as drugs.

    We get the benefit of taxes fit to burst the coffers and stop criminalizing users. Win, win.

    There will always be crime. By keeping drugs illegal we just make it too easy and too lucrative.

    Well if drugs are made legal (which is a mindf**k minefield) I really hope you're right and they don't find a revenue stream as lucrative as drugs.

    I doubt it though. They'll find something and it won't be nice.
