    Injuries are not fatal.

    Not yet. Shot in chest at point blank range? Chances of survival must be slim.

    I'm surprised it took so long, only a couple of months since the botched attempt. Hopefully there were no innocent people caught up in it.

    These drug lords are fearless where the law is concerned. The lad that replaces him will be even worse than Gilligan himself. Pity they all can't all knock one another out like Apollo Creed and Rocky

    They're no better than any of the tabloids these days. They hardly have a journo standing beside him on his slab do they?

    Save their time for someone decent.

    He was was rushed to Blanchardstown Hospital. Looks like they were taking their time because Tallaght Hospital is only down the road from where he was shot

    High power gun, too close, bullet just goes straight through without causing too much damage. If shooter had been further away bullet would have traveled slower thereby getting chance to flatten and cause more kinetic shock and tissue damage. Point blank shooting is only good for head shots.......or so i am told.

    Despite what hollywood would have you believe, there's a lot more to shooting than aiming a gun and pulling the trigger. Guns need regular maintenance, and a lot of the guns being used in gangland are probably really old decommissioned weapons which malfunction and don't shoot accurately.

    The same clowns argue for the legalisation of cannabis in other threads... and talk about how great it is. Yet Gilligan is literally worse than Hitler for importing and selling it


    If you think he just did a wee bit of mport/export of hash then you really know nothing
