I think the majority of the nation, including myself, see it as a type of karma? He's far from being an innocent man.

I'm not talking about random internet people, I'm on about people who'd actually really want to kill him. What's in it for them?

Nobody has tried to claim he's innocent.

Oh sorry, I thought when you said 'people' that you meant everyone who was openly glad about him almost getting killed.

I can't answer that really, but I'd assume it's some type of revenge for all his gangland crimes along with his alleged association with Veronica Guerin's murder.

I think people who openly wish his extra-judicial execution are rather daft in that they seek to hold Gilligan to the same standards he held others - they're essentially lowering themselves to gangland 'standards'.

Yeah I see your point, but I think it's definitely debatable depending on whether or not you've been affected by his actions in the past.

I personally feel it was always going to happen. While I don't by any means condone violence, particularly with a gun, I still can't feel any sympathy for him.

You live by the sword you die by the sword, no sympathy here, scum deserve the what they get!

I'd rather be shot with a gun than beaten to death

Sorry, didn't realise there was a restriction on smilies.

But as I said though, any type of violence is bad but seems as the man was at a christening where children were present, it must have been scary for them. But again, no sympathy for him.

No argument from me there. I suppose they would have known what he was like before he was convicted and so it wouldn't have come as a shock. Very hard to say what the story was but even from his own point of view, it was careless to be around close family when he was in danger.

I read online some people saying that maybe he didn't actually believe his life was in danger but that's obviously not true if he went to the bother of wearing a bullet-proof vest.

Wouldn't be a fan of him either way but vigilante justice always seems popular in Ireland!

I don't feel sympathy for him either. I just think wishing his extra-judicial execution makes those who wish it more like him.

That's exactly why we don't leave justice to individuals. I'd imagine if I'd lost a loved one to murder I'd want the murderer to be burned at the stake, trial or not.

Yeah, I know what you mean - really, if he was concerned for his life then he'd probably have gone into hiding or something, instead of going to events like that - family or not.

The whole vigilante justice is an interesting one in comparison to the actual justice system, where a man gets released 17 years into a 28 year sentence.

The belt of a shovel is what he needs.

Was it not reduced to 20 years upon appeal?

I think it's more to do with the fact that he clearly got away with several other crimes. If someone was convicted for all of the crimes they committed and served the time (assuming the sentence wasn't a joke sentence), I don't think anybody should be calling for retribution etc.

With Gilligan however, many believe that he is guilty of murder etc. and has not faced punishment for those other crimes.

Only a matter of time before the little runt was back in the headlines. Shame the little scum is not 6 feet under. Vile individual not an ounce of sympathy for him.

Neeson · 02-03-2014 03:51AM

Would you be able to go to his wake or would they be checking you at the door I wonder?
