    They are the Ballyfermot version of the Sawyer’s in ‘The Texas Chainsaw Massacre’ saga.

    That’s quite dramatic, actually knew John fairly well and contrary to reports he was a decent bloke, had a good heart and wasn’t afraid of a days work if it was there, actually last time we spoke in passing he was working in someone’s garden with a shovel, was most likely doing it for nothing too - was a tough guy but not what you would call a bully, looks like he got into serious crime but only toward the end of his life and I don’t know the reasons why, whether it be for financial gain or due to drugs.

    Knew Eric though not that well, would be described as a mischievous kid, again seems to have progressed into serious crime.

    I’ve met people who could be described a psychopathic, had a serious darkness about them, but this could not be said for either of the above.

    If he had a shovel in the back garden he was more than likely burying a body. Perhaps even the missing bloke referred to a few posts earlier.

    Yea, your reading too many newspapers pal, was a front garden on a main road in the middle of the day, elderly couple with an overgrown garden, and like I said he was actually the kinda guy who would do it for nothing - those kinda stories don’t get printed.

    That’s terribly unfortunate for that chap and his family, I’m not condoning what anybody has done, just making a point that not all is black and white.

    It again raises a question that I’ve always wondered, whether someone is born a psychopath or develops into one. The usual view is that someone reads a story in a newspaper and can then make a clinical diagnosis based on what is printed.

    Ah the guy he killed was a scumbag. No need to feel bad for him, his family yes. That was just one murderer killing another.

    I feel bad for them all, life is precious and there appear to be no second chances.

    Literally describing the fella lying in a box in front of him as a gravedigger with the stench of death off him.

    Wonder how the family took that.

    Why do all these gangsters who are killed end up having the chavy horse and carriage funerals. Tacky as hell.

    I guess it's easy to spend your day doing free gardening when you make your money murdering people.

    Those type of stories don't get printed because it's just normal decent behaviour.

    Fcuks sakes, you'd swear you should get a medal for not acting like a fcuking scrote or massive knacker.

    Wrong, those stories don’t get printed because they don’t sell newspapers, society has become reliant on blood and guts to feed an insatiable appetite for destruction, the media delivers, and then people are left with a blinkered version of events.

    Nope.


    Trevor Deely most likely committed suicide by drowning after a night's drinking and a rejection by a girl he was mad about.


    Donal McIntyre and his fellow ghouls should be ashamed of themselves for spinning out his disapearance into some sort of murder/mystery to appease the bloody minded.

    Certainly thats the most plausible of all the theories would be suicide. Took a dive over the wall into the dodder or headed for Sandymount.

    Regardless of who the person is, you think anyone doing gardening for a neighbour should be a story in the national papers?

    Maybe if they are horticultureist of the year.

    Let me assist with context, first someone mentions people in the realm of psychotics, then someone else mentions something which is the opposite of psychopathy using an example, then usually the next step on boards is for the point to be completely ignored and people to jump on the example given.

    Consistently consistent!!

    I always thought he was abducted by that guy outside the bank(and others)so they could see about robbing the bank!?

    Aye, his own organization made a fair few people into corpses too. There's a time & a place for spouting that ****e and from an alter standing over a coffin in front of dead person's family isn't one of them. The prick.

    A public announcement at a private ceremony, they should have taken the coffin and walked out.

    He’s dead long enough, body is in no state to be brought for a walk around Darndale.
