About the death of a person who might have kept the peace between them all and then a fallout in the pub. Also the stabbing story. If anyone has more background info like that it’d be good to hear. Was the stabbing from the back of the car in anyway related?
Fedcba321 wrote: » I said this pages and pages back saying id love to see how the feud would have played out had both of them two being shot dead. When the trouble first started in the pub and stabbing incident between bs and kavs kavs decided not to really retaliate and maguires held back for months and months. Wasn’t until price got out of the jail they all joined and began retaliating (I know there was a few smaller incidents in november 2018 from maguire side but really wasn’t until price got out) Yeah I dunno who would have won I do think price was the most experienced or whatever u wanna call it out of them all and probably still would have had the power to get carberry and lawlor whacked but I dunno maybe not would have been interesting . The maguires were scared they even went with the statement of threatening to kill to the guards. They wanted the bs locked up. I think then Once they saw they could win the feud they withdrew the statements Cos they know now they’ll be able to kill them instead of let them go to jail

Robbie was the muscle and had his personal reasons but there is no saying he wouldn't have whacked them at some point in the future, if history is anything to go by and they got above themselves. Interestingly, I read Robbie had an alibi the night of the murder and was on CCTV in a pub and the actual killer is hiding out in eastern Europe. Will Ged rat out the rest or take it on the chin for the death of Keith Branigan? Maybe he pins it all on Robbie Lawlor as the "notorious Dublin hitman" the papers labelled him as, now he is dead and gets himself off.

Chances were the pair of them be less likely convicted. RL was Coolock, so why does article say Donaghmede. Or did he live there from nappies for a while? If someone knows where he was in Coolock, does any family still live there?

Fedcba321 wrote: » Most people didn’t even know lawlors name when he was suspected shooter of maguire in July 2018 (some people still say he didn’t do it and he wouldn’t **** something up that easy) but yeah I don’t think his involvement bolstered the younger faction much to be honest by the time everyone knew lawlor the maguires were winning anyway. Most Regular people in drogheda wouldnt have even known carberry. when everything was happening everyone just thought it was boylan bros vs maguires

Only person they could kill was very loosely connected to maguires and they’d someone with Keanes trust to get him to come out. If anything the other side had better shooters if they could shoot 3 dead maybe I’m wrong but look at the numbers

Paul_Crosby wrote: » That's what I was saying earlier when I assumed the Maguires would have more muscle behind them being the obviously more established and experienced criminal faction, why do you think they were running so scared? How much of a reputation did the Bs have? Wouldn't they have just been considered young pretenders to those lads, good with a knife or a petrol bomb but did anybody but Lawlor have any proper hit experience on that side?

Fedcba321 wrote: » Id say the fued still would have kicked off regardless of the death of that man . The stabbing from the back the car wasn’t related , the accused, the victim and 1-2 others robbed a shop and think they got caught and the victim ratted so they brought him out and did that. A poster few pages said the maguires used to make people carry out armed robberies when they couldn’t afford to pay up and it never seemed like crosby made Much money from drugs and that so maybe he was forced so could say linked a little bit or maybe he just did it anyway I duno

Minding our business playing the game of love etc, got approached by a group of 4 lads, 1 of whom decided to grab my hood and send me flying to the ground. Thank god I was drinking from a glass bottle of oasis at the time as I smashed it off 1 of their foreheads, I still have the scars on my right hand today from the glass going into my own hand haha! She found out a few weeks later, being local enough herself, who they were and one of them definitely had the same surname as the victim from ballybough and I was told to stay well away from there and north strand in case they spotted me. Not a hope I would though. Nothing was keeping me away from her haha.
