Gangland Shootings part 4 - Read OP before posting - updated 30/12/23

As the person who started this thread I can confirm it was never intended to be a borderless conversation. Gangland meant Kinahan and Hutch and associates. Not Billy Smith from Portrush.

Appreciate boards has turned to complete shite, ironically due to the mall cop mods, and it needs as much traffic as it can get, even if it means turning threads into discussing fictional characters from the north.

And to be clear, this isn’t a discussion on mod actions, this is a general observation. This isn’t a reply to anyone, nor a comment on any mods actions.

Awk who would want to kill Freddie he's a charming mild mannered trustworthy and good natured soul

another kinahan gang member sent down yesterday, Nicky McConnell getting life for Gareth Hutch murder.

The majority of irish hit men arent the sharpest tools.. so it doesnt surprise me that his safety was on.

Theres been countless stories of hits that have missed due to bad accuracy, guns misfiring, guys off their heads on coke etc..

@Paul_Crosby  I don't know who you are. I don't know what you want. If you are looking for ransom, I can tell you I don't have money. But what I do have are a very particular set of skills, skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you. IF YOU KEEP POSTING NONSENSE I WILL TERMINATE YOU 🥷

I'm telling you about Nicky McConnell who got done for shooting Gareth Hutch with Jonathan Keogh, is that "off topic" now too?

As for McConnell leaving the safety on, he's a gimp that's why, Keogh was a pipebomb maker who knew how a safey catch worked but McConnell was there because the "New INLA" crew had about 12 members, and about 6 who could shoot ,Eamon Cumberton who shot Michael Barr was also a New INLA member/associate , and Nathan Kinsella had to get a transfer because Cumberton was threatening to Kill him in jail this year

as the easy targets kept getting taken out the hitmen worth their salt were either jailed, effed off elsewhere, or decided they weren't going to get involved in Daniel Kinahans personal purge because it became obvious he's just throwing money at everyone and this wasn't a feud over territory it was Daniel Kinahans personal revenge on Gary Hutchs relatives and it's alright for him being halfway across the world (Declan Duffy wasn't involved outside his feud with Thompson as he turned down Eamon Cumbertons offer of work with the Kinahans)

With Cumbertons distinctive glasses it's been suggested it was he and Keogh who went into the bar on Lanzarote after Hutch, who said one of the hitmen on that occasion was known to have wore glasses and had taken them off

They ended up using junkies for spotters and junkies for hitmen to clear debts

Still cannot believe that Whacker Duffy is doing life for killing an enemy soldier during the Troubles when he was barely of adult age. Considering the amount of genuinely evil villains walking around scot-free up there and in Britain to this day. I know he was no angel but it seems ridiculous

Brandon Hennessy, Jason Sr's son, gets a suspended sentence from Judge Nolan

New handler??

I give it six months

I come in peace, I think I can make an argument for this belonging here, this covers people involved in cross border crime, and Warren Crossan was said to be the one who provided the car in the Lawlor hit, this does a good job of piecing together the Alphabet soup of dissidents, and how the "New IRA" have fallen at the first hurdle after a sprinting start while ONH (Original Michael McKevitt loyal faction that started the Real IRA) have consolidated much of the "dissident" power after an initial bad start when the New IRA started flexing its muscle

Note :I think Kevin Conway Jrs murder may have had something to do with him firing shots at former Provo and dissident top man Colin Duffys house, as Conways dad Kevin Sr, a criminal himself, was killed by the PIRA unit headed by Duffy while he babysat Kevin Jr

(Sean McGlincheys enigmatic character in Love/Hate is based on Duffy, the Massarene barracks shooter,and I think Titanic fellas kneecapping "don't need riffraff in the movement" was symbolic of the NIRA housekeeping of the Ryan faction )

Shooting at Duffys house with his kids inside, probably had something to do with it, Duffy is a dissident Hero, hiding in West Belfast was no good

Looks like two weeks might have been a better guess.

Youd wonder what the fcuk some of these judges are thinking

Judge proven very wrong

Those fuckers have been having too much of their own product. The thing is,the guy probably won't press charges or help with the investigation so they'll probably get away with it
