    When is Sean Littles funeral? Will Wardy be there ?

    I used to buy coke off lads years ago. Doesn’t mean I have any affiliation with them!

    Right so.

    But I would link the buying of sfuff to what happens up the chain.
    It has got to come from somewhere and many people involved.

    They don't. There are normally legal restrictions precluding naming those behind the nicknames.

    Take Mr Big for example, there is a legal direction in place going back a few years that he cannot be named because he is/was facing serious charges and that naming him could jeopardise the case . That didn't stop someone here doing just that.

    The media and the guards nick name them.

    My bad!! I actually didn't know it could compromise a case.

    A person buying drugs off someone has absolutely zero connection to a gang of people who are dealers and shooting people.

    By that logic every C level executive who lives in the leafy suburbs of D4 and shoves a key up their nose is linked to one of the gangs because they bought a bag or two from someone.

    You weren't the first to do it. Someone else did the same only a few pages before you.

    Just edit your post as if the newspapers aren't reporting their names its for a reason. They use nick names (some created) to get around getting sued especially where there are cases pending.

    As far as I know Mr Flashy named here a few times again is not referred to by his real name in the papers as he hasn't been charged with anything.

    Mr Big has been on the go near 10 years and never been openly named. It's a long time. I don't think it really matters though at this point.

    Didn't his court case collapse twice? He's up again soon I think.

    So have I , it’s not coolock I moved from coolock st 7. Actually officially the whole area donnycarney Artane etc are in the barrony of coolock. Kilmore is its own area like green hills


    Those ancient baronies don't mean a whole lot these days. They are all suburbs.


    In the case of Kilmore, many residents for years referred to themselves as Artane especially when selling their house! Kilmore Close for example as distinct from the West.

    Collapsed once..DPP are gunning for him. I reckon he'll get 15..but his buddy recently got 18.... either way he's going away for along time!

    Why do you think Big is behind this?

    If it didn't matter the papers would be naming him.

    I have seen articles with the alt text on a picture tagged with "{named} is not to be named".

    The very reason a recent court case collapsed is because of influence. Anyway I am not trying to mod the thread, just pointing out something in case people get themselves in trouble.

    Eh, that's going back over a 100 years ago. Coolock is Coolock and Artane is Artane and Donycarney is Donycarney and have been for many years.

    I'm going to take it that this is a wind up... :rolleyes:

    Gerry Ryan RTE bought stuff. but he was part of the problem that believe its fine and don't look at the bigger picture.

    devil's advocate here. But if it was legal would there be the same level of killings over it?

    not sure if the consumer is the issue here, but the greed of the dealers

    I'm no angel but I think anyone who buys drugs is in some small way contributing to these deaths.

    It's not intentional or direct on anyone's part but I think it's true.

    If there was no market for their product, then none of this would be happening.
    They would be forced to earn a legitimate income, or be satisfied with the dole or commit robberies.

    Yeah OK, libby..
    It would be far more reasonable to tear up some human "rights" and just deal with this ****e, but no one really wants to.

    Or people could just stop buying drugs?

    Admin Note: Posting names of individuals & accusing them of gang involvement is not permitted. It exposes boards.ie, & especially the poster, to legal action.

    Don't do it again.

    But that is simply not going to happen , humans have been taking mind altering substances for thousands of years .
    It is a very difficult problem to solve , legislation of softer substances is an obvious option but what you do about the likes of crack, meth etc is anyone's guess .

    As soon as you legalise the less harmful stuff the crime gangs will move on the next thing that isn't legal. Right now they're happy enough selling cannabis, cocaine and heroin but legalise cannabis and cocaine then heroin, crack and meth sales will be boosted as that's what the gangs will move to selling.
