Up until the KMW murder I wouldn't have had much interest in it all and wouldn't follow much of it but now I can't help but check this thread and the news daily! This might sound ridiculous but in Flashy's profile pic on FB, does anyone think the guy on the left bears a striking resemblance to the psychotic hitman who met his demise last weekend?!

April was because she split with ger wouldn't let him see the kids and banging a rapist John and Wayne threatened her , they gards couldn't get the dundons, they were using young males, so gards gave her a deal, banging out the brown in their faces.

Chalk McHugh wrote: » Very quiet on the gangland front this year in Dublin. I thought there would be a big lull after Mulready Woods murder. And there has been. Not one murder in Dublin since and thats three months ago. There really is no comparison to gangland in Dublin now and back a decade or so when up to 15- 20 gangland hits a year was not uncommon in Dublin. Or during the Hutch feud . Its a different ball game now. Full of scummy little feral youths with infamous monikers who are more renowned for what they wear than what they do. It's all gone a bit boring. I see nothing but loud, lowlife morons involved. And our dirty traveller friends who the corona virus wouldn't even attempt to poison.

In fairness there’s been a few botched hits - Kilbarrack, St Margaret’s, Finglas, Clondalkin, possibly one or two more I can’t remember now. Seems the shooters still on the street aren’t the most lethal bunch.

Thesiger wrote: » I think also the guards have done a decent job getting some of the more serious guys off the street and also intercepting a few hits - they must have prevented three or four hits in Coolock alone last year.

Organised crime seemed to revolve around Robberies and Kidnappings etc. in the 80s until everyone saw what the Dunnes were making on drugs and seemed easier money. In and around 1996 with John Gilligan and co. it just went to a new level. Since then there are more and more players which obv leads to killing etc..
