    Why? Drugs being illegal at all is a relic from a time when it was acceptable for governments to engage in social engineering around sexual and public morality. Drugs weren't made illegal because they were unhealthy, they were made illegal because hedonism was frowned upon and considered immoral.

    The guy with the knife was in the East Wall. That looked more like a social incident of him wanting to harm himself or something.

    Both individuals known to Gardai for drug dealing apparently.

    Only kids, probably very tenuous links to the ongoing feud, or maybe just a simple case of another dealer getting them out of his way.

    I wish, but having had issues in the past with both depression and motivation, I'm too scared of the dopamine depleted comedown to go anywhere near any kind of stimulants. The concept of downer-type drugs doesn't interest me at all. I do like to get drunk and I smoke weed from time to time if a joint gets passed around, but my views on drugs are entirely ideological in nature - your body, your rules. Nobody else should get to make any rules about what you can or cannot ingest for the purposes of altering your own brain's functioning.

    When you see what these people cause like people pulling drugs out of their arse and others injecting it in their legs in full view of anyone walking past.

    This happens in top tourist Dublin areas.

    How do they get away with it.

    Cut my hair many times. Seemed like an alright dude. Know his mates too though these are all quite younger than me. Apparently he always paid his bills but he tried to throw his weight around a bit which got him in trouble. This might not be over money.

    There’s a link to an article online showing the young lad along with other students who were awarded a cert from a school in swords for completing the jcsp, all smiling, it’s very sad how it ends for some, as much as you try to protect your kids from getting in with the wrong crowd sometimes it’s not enough, something I dread when my kids get older as how to keep them away from that scene, some kids see the flash, the money etc think they’re invincible, it’s a foolish game to get into which never ends well but they can’t see it, i’d say this kid was in way over his head doesn’t seem like a major criminal.

    Seems like a very small amount to have owed if the rumours are true. Waste of life for some scumbags to take.

    50k is what he owed. There's been people shot for much less these days.

    No respect for life. No respect for anything.

    And worse still, I'm still not convinced people realise how sinister this is. We have a dangerous, dangerous attitude of "not on my doorstep, not my problem", or "he must have deserved it" if it's someone the papers describe as "known to Gardai".

    Keep that going at your peril and see how it works out.

    This is disgusting and absolutely everyone should be concerned this is happening in our community this frequently.

    Well said. A guy interviewed at the scene of another killing some months back summed it up well when he said that these guys seem to treat the whole shooting/killing thing as some sort of 'call of duty' type video game.
    Not sure what the solution is but it's disgraceful and disgusting that the head honchos on both sides can remain at liberty.

    F*cking hell, Zach used to cut my hair a few years ago. He seemed like a sound lad, a bit if a wild streak but the impression I got was that he was just living life and having fun.

    No idea he'd gotten himself into this type of trouble.

    The figure that I heard last night was only €15k.

    Garda on the radio are suggesting that he may have gotten in deeper than he realised and also not realised the type of scumbags he was dealing with.

    how does murdering them get them their €50k or €15k back ?

    not a great credit control policy - no winners

    What I can't understand is less than a day after someone is murdered how do people think they know he was killed because he owed money and how do they know how much he owed?

    True but it's a serious incentive for anyone else that owes them money to pay up quickly.

    ...If the 50k figure is true, then how would he have gotten that deep... He must have been dealing, and either was skimming or got busted and owed the debt...

    It's a fairly small City/Country. You can see from the thread that quiet a few knew him. There'll be talk in the aftermath, it mightn't all be correct but it'll be out there/on here.

    I understand that because he was a barber people would know him, but he's hardly going to be discussing drug dealing or debts he owes while he's cutting some fella's hair is he?

    And by the way I was in Dublin recently and it's far from small.
