As for your opinion on the young lads in hoodies laughing, my lads wear hoodies because it's the "fashion" , I can assure you they are not "skobies" but well brought up mannerly children who understand that a life was lost today, I use this as an opportunity to educate them as to what may happen if they follow the wrong path in life. Tonight however children are grieving for their father regardless of what he was, to them he was just their Dad. This assumption that his children will grow up to avenge him is just ridiculous and unfounded, his children will be supported by their many friends in an area I'm proud to live in because people support each other in times of need.

The fact the weapon used in the south circular road murder was (apparently) abandoned in the getaway car, just shows how easy it is to get hold of a gun. The Gardai know who these people are, they need to harass them 24/7 and purge them off our streets. It worked with the Gilligan gang. If this requires emergency legislation, then bring it in.

The other brother, Keith is doing life for murdering daniel gaynor, a hit man who worked for Alan Ryan. Ryan tried to have John Wilson killed but the killer legged it when his wife answered the door. In retaliation John who was high as a kite walked up to the players lounge with two guns and opened fire. He thought Alan Ryan was outside but he had gone back in. Wilson shot two innocent people and the bouncer. This my friends is the first revenge murder by the RIRA. More to come

With Keith now being convicted of murder, detectives are concerned that he will continue to be involved in gangland activity from behind bars. With his two younger brothers locked up, sources believe that their older brother John may be in a vulnerable position. John was also present for every day of his brother's trial. John (34) was arrested by gardai in August in relation to the triple shooting at the Players Lounge pub in Fairview which left three innocent men with serious injuries. He was released without charge. John has already survived three attempts on his life. In April of this year, he was the victim of a late night gun attack in his native Ballyfermot which left him with injuries to his knee. And in September of last year, John Wilson had a miraculous escape when two armed gunmen arrived at his house. It is understood that the assassin team -- which sources believe were working for the Real IRA -- intended to shoot him as he brought his children to school. But instead, the gunmen decided to murder him in his house and they called to the door but they got freaked out when his wife answered the door and they fled the scene in a car that was later traced to the Tallaght area. Sixteen months before he was involved in that incident, John had another lucky escape when in March, 2009, he noticed a pipe bomb under his car which was parked outside his Ballyfermot address. The army bomb disposal team were called and made the "viable device" safe. John Wilson's most serious brush with the law was when he was jailed for possession of a sawn-off shotgun and am-munition almost a decade ago.
