    No. It would be nice if people allowed others to choose for themselves rather than jack-booting (sorry, I believe the phrase back in Ireland is knee-jerking) their way up onto a high horse.

    Seriously. The biggest threat to Irish freedom comes from the Irish themselves.

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    Its a well established point that the Ra were involved in Drug racketing -
    It would after all be naive to think these people had morals and ethics.. on the one hand by sanctioning shootings/killings of military "targets" (human beings) - but draw the line on the most profitable business in the world.

    Very well put, if you can kill somebody without a thought selling a bag of weed must be easy

    am a bit of an auld history lesson OP in 2006 IRA were disbanded

    I thought it was well known that the IRA were never "drug dealers" it was infact actively discouraged and very much frowned upon

    Put away the history book. Ye they disbanded in 06, but essentially all these new movements are just ex-IRA members who don't want to put the gun down since 06. The IRA were never drug dealers, they just offered protection to the drug dealers.

    Friend of a friend sort of thing is paying roughly 1200 quid a month to the CIRA to sell "stuff" with their protection.

    I am sorry to say I know the chap who is the so called head of Republican Action Against Drugs (RAAD), I wont write his name.

    He was a major player in the IRA Derry Branch back in the day and is still in the eyes of Derry and Donegal people the main man in Derry from a Republican point of view.

    In the minds of Derry People RAAD is the new IRA same people same plan

    this major player can suck my balls. if this isn't proof that the only interest these fcuking scumbags have is in crime then i don't know what does. anyone who supports these cnuts is a fcuking tumour on society. these provo bastards may get cancer and rot along with bobby sands for all i care about what they have to say.

    Well tell me, since you claim to have grown up in Derry and " know one or two things about the boys ", could you tell me how many IRA members on each side of the border were convicted of drug dealing and did their time in the IRA wing of the prisons during the troubles ? How much drugs were found in say, the massive arms shipments from America and the Middle East ?

    I'll tell you one thing, if your soo keen on pointing accusations on drug dealers, why has the amount of heroin coming into Europe from Afghanistan rocketed since the Brits and Yanks invaded ?

    judging by your username you're probably not the right person to have a balanced argument on the subject with.

    I would hazard a guess and say the same number of people, both sides of the border, who have been convicted for the Omagh bombing and for largely the same reason I would say.

    You won't answer my questions because your talking complete BS :D. I ask simple questions, if the IRA were so invovled in drug importation and selling - and yet he cannot produce anything. It's laughable what the IRA have been accused of down the years, from having nuclear capability to salmon poaching, porn video tapes, etc, etc

    And I also notice, you had no comments on the Brits presence in Afghanistan and Europe getting flooded with heroin ? Do you not think a few of the Brits could be onto a ' little earner ' ? But then of course we heard for years that it was only supposed to be Republican propaganda that they were colluding with the loyalists........

    ( And don't be given us a stupid link from wiki as ' proof ' )

    Whether it's the IRa or not (playing Devil's Advocate) they're a bunch of self-important moronic control-freak scumbags.

    D'ya know what, you're right. Those head shops should be allowed to continue poison our young people. The Gardaí aren't showing much concern and you don't want anyone else to act. Fair play, I don't live there, my kids won't be buying their poison.

    ah here, if evidence was so easy to produce then do you not think all of these pricks would be locked up already?

    everyone knows OJ murdered his wife, yet he officially didn't because he was acquitted. similarly, everyone knows that these dirty bastard provos are unconcerned about politics and deal only in crime. so stfu with your "produce references" bullshit, the dogs on the fcuking streets know what these pricks are up to.

    Sorry Slab you are right

    If it was not for the IRA we would all be speaking english, watching english football, watching Eastenders and voting on the X factor.

    Fair play to ya Slab, keep fighting the brits, its Men like ya that makes Ireland a great place.

    PM me some time and we will go to London and kill some brits, that would be fun, the boys in Belfast would love that.

    if your kids never take drugs, it won't be because the headshop products got banned. you should be more concerned that they don't drink, or if you have daughters that their husbands don't drink. because i've never heard of anyone drinking too many pints of headshop smoke and heading home from the pub to smash his wife and kids around the place. nor have i ever heard of a cannabis fuelled riot.

    but sure everyone drinks, so that carry on is ok.

    Ah it's great to see the IRA looking out for the good of the people of Ireland.

    After all that's what they're best at isn't it? Looking after the Irish people.

    Not blowing them up as they innocently go about their daily business?

    No, those were just "regrettable casualties".

    Thanks IRA. Without you we wouldn't know what to do.

    We can all sleep safe in our beds thanks to you telling us what's good and what isn't. Those of us that you haven't murdered or maimed that is. But let's not talk about them, no no no.

    So here's the deal - if you don't like a legal business you go and plant a bomb outside it and then we'll know they're bad. Let's not bother with the law or legislation or any of that nonsense. No no no, a bullet or a bomb will get your moral message across much clearer than that.

    Thanks for speaking for the people of Ireland again even though nobody f*cking asked you you murdering f*cking scumbags.

    That's bollocks. The Gardai aren't doing anything because the headshops aren't breaking the law. The Gardai can't arrest people just because Joe Duffy says they should.

    And the government are bringing in legislation to deal with headshop products. If you think planting bombs is a better way to deal with things then you don't belong in a democracy. Who the f*ck are the IRA to tell us what is and isn't allowed in Ireland?

    What next? They take a dislike to gays and start planting bombs outside gay nightclubs? Will that be ok with you too?

    because the Taliban have lost control of the country side and the brits/yanks have bigger fish to fry than executing farmers for growing opium poppies.

    Heroin production dropped when the Taliban had the run of the country

    What he is saying is. The Provisional IRA had an anti drugs policy for all serving members. People in this thread are throwing around how the Provos were all dealers.. in my opinion its pure ****. There has never been a conviction, and judging by the way the shinners and the ra's names were thrown around when i was younger, you didnt want them to find out you were a dealer.. not that i was one.

    The drugs problem has risen exponentially since the provos decommissioned, along with crime..

    Members of the provos who have since gone into the drugs trade with the few cronies who the still associate with are scum. But them again all drug dealers are scum in my eyes they come from every level of society.

    What that has to do with " the ira (who the fcuk are you refering to?? :confused: ) want their drugs back!" is complete and utter drivel, I suppose any excuse to start up some crappy thread

    Get this. I heard they were accused of murdering innocent people too! Hah! Have you ever heard anything so ridiculous? The IRA murdering and bombing innocent people?

    Never happened man. All the IRA did was drive the snakes out of Ireland with St. Patrick, invent Guinness, design the harp logo that we see on passports and ask the English politely to leave Northern Ireland.

    They're law-abiding lovable scamps that we should all admire and emulate.

    Ireland is great green tinted glasses

    God bless the IRA they never meant any harm all they wanted was a "Free Ireland"

    I dont know what we would be like know if they had not stood up to the brits


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 16,786 ✭✭✭✭Hagar


    Does anyone here want the headshops to continue selling dangerous drugs to children?

    If you don't, what are you going to do about it?

    No, I agree they shouldn't, but that's why we have laws and this thing called democracy -meaning that people have power, not unelected local thugs.

    the only reason the IRA (and i think the OP is referring to any scumhorn who mouths out under the guise of republican nationalism) ever threatened any drug dealer is becuase they were a competitor. the IR-fcuking-A have never done anything with the interests of the irish people at heart since the days of arthur griffith.
