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

    Didn't he escape years ago and is now a myth and legend?

    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.

    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.

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

    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.

    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.

    Why bother with laws at all then? You're saying closing off one will just make more crime elsewhere.
    All the things you listed are pretty well staffed already too.

    Nope he was always on top of the list, he was hated by many, hiding in the shadows for years, surprised he lasted so long.

    He actually got his name from selling or letting his body be used for science years ago, You know you get paid for folks to test your reactions to certain drugs etc etc, hence the name the guinea pig.

    Yeah thats true but just with whats been going on with all the other crowds I wasn't really expecting it. Anyway even in criminal circles he would of been the lowest of the low, preying on vulnerable young addicts with with sexual assaults plus killing two young men for no reason whatsoever. Those two fellas where only 19 they should be around to experience everything we have today but he took all those years away from them.

    I understand nothing good actually comes from him being gunned down himself but I can understand why people don't have sympathy.
