    And you're coming to this opinion from reading the herald is it?

    independent actually. your point being?
    You believe everything you read?

    Where do these "patriots" get their funding from?

    A bit of extortion? so what, make a bit of money from the drug dealing scum. Maybe if the police were doing their jobs this wouldnt happen, in fact alot of them are on a nice wage themselves from these dealers. It still doesnt take away the fact that a man was shot down in broad daylight yesterday and pictures of him dying are posted the next morning for all to see.

    A bit of extortion? so what

    That really tells you all you need to know about their mindset.

    Spoken like a true patriot.
    :rolleyes:
    It's funny all those defending him would like you to believe he only extorted Drug Dealers and sure taking their money is ok, even if you have a gentlemens agreement with them.

    It should be a warning to scum that they all end up with a bullet in the skull.

    Yeah, and sure all the legitimate businesses they demand protection money from are asking for it as well. Just because you want to try and justify the actions of murdering scum doesnt mean the rest of us have to

    Em, its not just drug dealers they extort money from. They have a massive movement on making sure pubs use their guys to stand on the doors in case there is an "accident". This is where most of their money pretty much comes from.

    The socialist republican patriots are extorting money off the working man, people trying to get by with a small business.

    So you don't have a problem with drug dealers if they're paying protection money? So it's the cops fault he was extorting money from the dealers because they didn't catch them? Any evidence at all for the claim about the cops taking bribes? I agree that photos of his dead body shouldn't have been published.

    I dont agree with that part obviously, but I do agree with extorting money from drug dealers. Anyway alot of people would actually come to these people and ask for help in the community etc.

    I have a problem with them alright, anyway I didnt come onto this thread to discuss republicanism, It was simply to say its very sad that a man died yesterday, we all have different opinions on life etc

    From what I seem he was trying to rid the place of drug dealers and was at a protest against the budget last year,compared to some scum in this country,not bad things at all.

    it was for the money. So a scumbag robs another scumbag and all is ok.

    Robinhood he was not!!

    Unlikely.

    It's not as if the drug dealers could complain to the Gardai.

    I didn't say he was. I was responding to a post that said there was nothing wrong with the practice.

    Were you on the fm104 phoneshow last night?
    I think the evidence is in the morgue right now.

    "You have to pay me a thousand euro a month and not deal to children or I'll kneecap ya"

    A modern day hero all right.

    He made his choice. He paid the price.

    He profited from the sale of illegal drugs!

    How can somebody be happy over somebodies death when they knew nothing about him and if they did know something about him it more then likely came from the local rag or that muppet Williams.

    And to be even happy that a man has been killed in broad daylight is just simply wrong.

    You believe everything you read?

    absolutely everything. especially stuff i read online :rolleyes:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,540 ✭✭✭joseph brand


    Why are people so confused over the fact that this murder happened in daylight? Are you expecting cold blooded, scumbag killers to have ethics? Where were their morals? :confused:

    I'm sure we'll hear about how lovely he was at his funeral. A huge loss.

    Paul Williams has more blood on his hands than anyone.

    Nobody is happy at another shooting in broad daylight, but they want us to have sympathy because he is related to other human beings.

    The man was also a notorious ladies man, it's unlikely but not impossible, that some jilted lover could've knocked him off! .

    A Republican ladies man?

    Why am I playing a scene association in my head involving him rigging a milk float with speed activated explosives :pac:

    Yeah that's right.
    This poor chap begged Paul Williams to leave him alone that he was putting his life in danger.
    Yet he never once sued williams for slander, go figure.

    The Bhoys on the 104 phoneshow last night said the exact same thing, the topic is about a shooting of a known criminal, and yet all his pals wanted it to be about Paul Williams.

    It's a damn shame somebody's Volvo was stolen and burnt out. Can we please remember the victim of this crime?

    Its not like he hid any of his misdemeanors. They were reported in every national paper in the land. Did they all get him wrong? Its a wonder he didnt sue them all for making up stories about him the poor wee thing.

    Well maybe because they knew him and loved him? , and were furious that this little condescending freak was on the radio a few hours after he died talking crap?, It seems everyone that actually knew the man adored him.

    How's that then? Surely Williams has the same goal (allegedly) re ridding the streets of drug dealers?

    And that is evidence that he was decent?
    Everyone who knew him, knew what he was.
    And in that case, you either hate him or love him.
    Doesn't mean he deserves sympathy.
