    I was taking your point on direct action. Paramilitaries outlawed heroin, certain other drugs could be dealt subject to 'licence' or tribute to the cause.

    Army and uniformed police patrols have limited effect against the near invisible movement of drugs through neighbourhoods. Even then....nowadays with mobile phones business need never be done on the street or in the open.

    Yeah no, worries, but historically prior to decommissioning/ceasefire etc there was very little , if any heroin use.

    There has been very little on this thread about other Republican groups etc said they will not help Ryan's gang in Dublin is this true. ?

    http://thestar.ie/star/bloodshed-fears-deepen-after-gun-killing-of-rira-boss-ryan/

    However, a man claiming to speak for the hardline republican group Oglaigh na hEireann last night insisted Ryan’s gang in Dublin would be getting no help from north of the border in 
hunting Ryan’s killers.

    In an unverified statement, he claimed that Ryan’s activities in Dublin — extorting money from drug-dealers — had isolated the Dublin faction from hardline 
paramilitaries in the North.

    There was a volley outside his house apparently, as well as a large turnout

    Great news..our country is in safe hands tonight so:rolleyes:

    My only issue is that the area around Balgriffin was effectively shut shutdown for several hours today to facilitate the funeral of this retarded scumbag.

    Judging by the reaction on republican websites and todays showing I doubt this very much.

    No need for that ****. This guy had a family and was trying to help his community. So what if he lined his pockets in the process, many here line dealers pockets when they want a smoke.

    In the 80s when Edinburgh was ravaged by heroin, Belfast was relatively clean (in Nationalist areas at least) despite even worse economic and social conditions.
    There is an element of out of sight, out of mind but I feel that direct action has many pros and I support anyone who does what they can to keep heroin of the streets.
    While I recognise their lack of effectiveness, I'm shocked at the negative opinions towards anti-drugs movements here.


    Its also entirely possible that higher levels of military and police activity on the streets could have led to limited drug activity in society.

    There is a theory going around that one of the benefits 'Troubles' was the reduction or indeed the curtailing altogether of any substantial drugs market in Belfast.

    There's likely to be some truth in that.

    The only place where heroin took off in the north was in Ballymena, the buckle in Paisley's bible belt. Pro rata, things got as bad there as anywhere I know - and it looked particularly bad as the junkies were juxtaposed against a staid conservative unionist culture.

    Anyone bringing heroin into a nationalist community would've been shot dead.

    As someone who grew up in a nationalist community in the north and enjoyed taking yokes at the weekend I fundamentally disagree with the IRA's policy on recreational drugs (not that I've been minded to say it to their faces).

    If they've got an issue with these then they should go the whole hog and tackle alcohol, tobacco, childhood obesity and whatever else is ailing us. Heroin is different though and I've no sympathy for anyone selling it who they get hold of.

    You don't need me to tell you that relying on the Star for analysis isn't an especially good idea.

    I've only seen a handful of funeral photos online but dissident republicans from Derry were prominent in these. This shooting is a pretty serious challenge to an organisation struggling to establish its credibility. Whoever did it would be as well in jail or out of the country.

    If we went around Dublin and took everyone who was likely a drug user or drug dealer and fired a shot through their knee cap we would probably curtail the drug market in Dublin a good deal.

    Actually if we all armed ourselves and started maiming and killing trouble makers on our street and in our neighbourhoods I think we could put a good dint into anti social behaviour and street crime. There's guy a few doors up from me who has loud parties on week nights. We'll see how much he wants to party after I saw his fingers off.

    Ballsology!

    The Yanks have armed themselves to the brow line, seem to work for them...? I think NOT!!! :rolleyes:

    people dont understand do they, the IRA dont have any respect in dublin, they can mouth all they want that they will get who ever done this, it wont stop the gangs only more of them will die like alan ryan, i have to tell you this the IRA dont have the numbers or the money to stop them and i'll say it again there is bigger teapots out there much bigger than the RA.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,043 ✭✭✭SocSocPol


    RIRA are nothing more than child killers and drug dealers, Ryan can rot in his grave, one can only hope that his followers meet a similar fate.
    Personally I dont believe that precious Garda resources should be wasted on investigating the eradication of scum like him.

    The new fangled republican groupings are a rag-tag bunch of misfits in comparison to the provos, and have embarrassed themselves with their ineptitude on a number of occasions. That said, they can't be seen to let this go, and have been crying out for a chance to establish their credentials. If they can't take this one, they'd be as well packing up the shop.

    I'm just back from the funeral, and its impossible to put words on the emotions of the day. The dignity of the Ryan family in their time of terrible grief, the dignity of Alan's comrades, the solidarity of the local people who lined the streets and filled the church, all of these helped to lift the sadness of the day. But, what was most striking was that sadness was not the overwhelming feeling. The feeling of this day was that the blood of a heroic martyr has ended our long walk in the wilderness. Irish Republicanism has found itself again. Our historic function is once more clear. We have found our old strength and faith. The forces of the lackey free state stood impotent, as a full IRA funeral was held, with shots fired and full military colour party. On this day, it was unthinkable that they would even dare to interfere. Revolutionary Ireland lives once again. Cynicism, despair and defeatism have evaporated. Resolute determination has replaced doubt. The lackey media, the cowardly footmen of the ruling class, were corralled and castrated behind police barriers. Who now cares about their sheepish slanders? This must be what Irish men and women of courage felt, when Pearse and Connolly gave their lives. Far from being the den of slaves and gombeen cut throats that we had been told we were, Ireland is, once more, a land where heroes walk. In your life and death, Alan, we find the course to be human beings. For that, a Chomrádaí, we salute you.

    That sounds like the same ****e you get from the old misty eyed Provos.

    Little difference if any between them.

    A complete and utter w**ker shot dead will not be missed.The b*stard wont be missed.The c**t lived about 5 miles away from me and was barred from the pubs in our village and i'm only sorry that i was not the person that killed him :mad:It was a waste of a bullet though because th tw*t wasn't able to beat eggs anyway and all his cameras at his house are now good to him now :D

    These are the brave comrades who used to put suit cases under tables in pubs before sneaking off. Blowing civilians to smithereens.

    These are the brave heroes who put a bomb in omagh. Before cowering away anonymous and hidden. Blowing women and children into pieces.

    Barstool w@nkers, only fit for claiming the dole and sharing money with drug dealers.

    Well at least he followed in the footsteps of his terrorist hero Bobby Sands. Enjoy the earth worms.
