    Disregard for British authority in the north, yeah.

    Cut the rabble...

    You started this about endorsing Vigil Antes.

    Let alone showing an example of a terrorist organisation portraying themselves as Vigil Antes.

    Whoever the authority is, is irrelevant.

    You asked why they are portraying themselves as vigilantes, I said to increase support, you asked why it would be seemed as a positive by some, I told you. Many hate the PSNI and will latch onto an alternative.

    Being "anti authority" will be seen as a positive to many.

    Scum battering scum.

    Hopefully they keep retaliating against one another and eventually cancel each other out.

    That's not how it works I'm afraid. You make the assertion that they are dealing drugs. The onus is on you to prove it. So if you will, provide the said evidence.

    I don't care either way. I don't give a shít about the CIRA. I'm happy however to see anyone take out anyone who peddles heroin. Whether it be the CIRA, The Angry Farmers Club, or anyone for that matter.

    i don't give a **** about the CIRA or the dealers but they are not taking them out for the community sake , if that was the case how come no " community policing " was done by them over the last decade ??? why now do they take up the baton of moral guardians for the people , money money money and if anyone believes other wise then they are being mislead and lied 2 .

    yes i agree that the dealers should be f*****G shot and got rid of, but i just dont think a un elected bunch of madmen should be the ones that do it
    whos next ??

    they want my respect , get elected and use the system to get the bankers and corrupt politicians , bang them up , get back the nations money .
    but they wont because dail procedure does notallow machine guns and knee capping just yet
    all your doing is replacing one evil with another one

    as for said "evidence" , its out there , its been in most if not all the papers at some stage in the last 2 years , most recently over the malahide murder , sunday world done a big story on it ( not the most pulitzer prize winning paper i know :D ) if i have the time i WILL hunt it out and PM you

    let them all kill each other for all I care, cause that's what drug dealers do, is kill countless amount of people an get away with it..
    Not the answer I'm afraid, as innocent people(apprentice plumbers) get caught in the crossfire. Legalising heroin should be looked at so as the scum are taken out of the picture. As it is, methadone is legal and prescribed. But most important is educating kids on the dangers of heroin. Off topic a bit there, sorry.

    So you think that it will end there and nobody else will take up the scummy reins?

    A disgrace. Who do the CIRA think they are trying to police the streets?

    So basically, you still haven't produced evidence?

    That was a rethorical question which lead to a follow on statement.

    Nothing positive can come from agressively taking the law into your own hands when the law of the land does not permit you to. All it does is breed contempt for authority as they would in turn appear to be inept.

    Many "hate" the gards...

    ...still doesn't validate acting out as a vigil ante.

    They think they are the CIRA, obviously.

    Some fella in Drogeheda handed me a leaflet a few weeks ago which was printed by the 32CSM.. it warned against drug dealing and basically threatened to kill dealers if found out. I was amused by the fact that the guy was handing these out on a busy street with Gardai passing by every few minutes.. nobody seemed to give a crap about what was on the thing.

    They have no right to use morals on anyone or police drugs when they try to kill people.

    does that include other heroin dealers? you may be happy to see them take each other out - who isn't in that sense - but does it do anything to stop the supply of heroin in the long term?

    Nobody has the "right" to engage in vigilantism. They however obviously believe that's it's required to scare off people pushing heroin.

    I'm always amused at your fake-outrage Keith. If this was the UVF you'd be championing on here about how great they were removing the evil drug dealers from the streets.

    Not really. I highly doubt the "dealer" was judged by a jury of his peers before they attacked him. They have as much proof to accuse him as anyone on this thread has to accuse them. The only people who have to have proof are the Gardaí. If the CIRA did have any proof they could always pass it on to the Gardaí. But then they wouldn't get their thrills and respect.

    Gardai probably glad someone is trying to ease the workload for them

    From the Telegraph:
    The Independent Monitoring Commission's report in November 2007 said the group remained "a very serious threat" and in May 2008 that the group was "active, dangerous and committed and...capable of a greater level of violent and other crime."

    The IMC said the Continuity IRA tried to create troubles to lure police forth then stoning and using petrol bombs against them.

    It also said they were involved in criminal activity such as assaults, drug dealing, robbery, kidnapping, extortion, and smuggling.

    From the Andersonstown News:
    Although the dissident group is masquerading as anti-drugs, it can be revealed that the CIRA are taking a levy from drug dealers in the West of the city and then allowing them to continue supplying drugs to young people. If the drug dealers refuse to pay up then they’re targeted by the group.

    don't understand this unless it's just a quip - does being the CIRA give you the right to police the streets?
    the question was "who do they think they are that they have the right to police the streets".
    "who do you think you are to..." is a figure of speech. you are not expected to take it literally and answer, for example, "diofnep" to this question.
    it translates to - "what right do the CIRA have to police the streets". hth

    I doubt he was either. But I'm not making the assertion that he was guilty or innocent. I think communities generally have their ear to the ground and are perfectly aware of who's pushing in their communities. If the Gardaí don't act, and the streets continue to be flooded with the stuff - then naturally vigilantes will step up - whether it be groups like the CIRA or just concerned parents.

    You are a Garda are you not? No doubt you know of people in the "criminal gangs" who are around the place wandering free.

    I read this today and got thinking. Heroin dealers are scum, I say most will agree. How can they be combated? Its clear the state isn't doing enough and groups like the CIRA both north and south are attempting to capitalize on that with "community policing" in an effort to gain support.
    Or they are doing it so that they can control the drugs trade, or force the drug gangs to pay them protection money. Bernard Dempsey, murderer/former IRA man made a good living out of that I believe, starting under the cover of anti-drug vigilantism.

    I have answered that question. They don't have the "right" to do so. I would imagine however that they feel it's a necessary evil if the Gardaí don't act.

    That's what they obviously believe? I think they obviously believe that it's required to keep people pushing heroin giving them a cut of the profits.

    People being beaten up up a group which tries to kill police officers is policing the streets? Under what right do they have to do that? Its a disgrace.
