the media are saying the intended target got a ten year sentence for a cash van robbery maybe this will clear it up

Just catching up on this thread. A lot of posts are saying that the intended target was the Drag gunman from the Regency. I don't know where that information has come from - but it is wrong.

One of the biggest problems on the streets of Dublin at the moment are drugs that can be bought legally but are sold illegally.

I'm not sure if the poster you quoted means legalise or decriminalise, but I suggest you just read this article: http://mic.com/articles/110344/14-years-after-portugal-decriminalized-all-drugs-here-s-what-s-happening#.ADy843qjU

Prostitution should be legal. There's absolutely nothing wrong with selling sex. What the French did was a step backwards and to be held up as a beacon of progressive laws.

I am pretty sure it was legalising: 'Governments should look for a way to make all drugs legal...'

I haven't read the article you suggest. I am vaguely familiar with what has been initiated in Portugal and looking forward to the read. When it comes to the argument of legalising or decriminalising I don't think people think it through before suggesting it. There are so many factors and changes across the board that would be required.

With regards to prostitution I wasn't offering an opinion on wether it should be legalised or not. Plenty who have been involved, neither buying nor selling but sold, who will disagree with you there.

Legalise drugs is just another sound bite that people choose to voice without actually thinking it through. Also, I can imagine many criminals are involved in both drugs and prostitution. Something else I don't get is the call to not punish those who carry drugs for personal use. It's a bit like not punishing drivers who drive too fast but punishing garages and manufacturers that sell and make them.

There is also a tide turning to punish those who buy sex rather than sell it to tackle prostitution as has just happened in France. Why should drugs be any different?

I know they are narrow streets but on a bike you are vunerable and you don't get that far away relative to a motorbike

I doubt the plan was for him to get too far away on the bicycle, just out of the general area. So many ways he could go on foot once he got onto Seville place. Slow to walking pace, ditch whatever hoodie he was wearing and it's very easy to blend in.

Doubtful it was draglady they were looking for, would it not be a more portly associate of his?

He's was probably on a bike because it was probably some junkie scrote that had a debt to pay

this is more likely the scenario

He was homeless with drug problems in the wrong place at the wrong time

Victim was known to the Guards, but still presumed not the intended victim.

Why don't you throw up a comparison of the number of gang members prosecuted compared to the number of protesters and republicans prosecuted. My god, your post is so moronic it gave me a headache.

Come on use your head.

Criminals can openly operate and accumulate millions.
They drive the best of cars, wear the best of cloths and sport the finest jewellery, yet remain free to walk the streets. Republicans are arrested held in prison without bail for many months only for trials to collapse.

I'm not a republican or sticking up for them but the gards have had so much success against them.

There is something not right about it all.

It's also not the first time someone on Sheriff St. has been shot by someone on a bike, it also happened in 2010: http://www.rte.ie/news/2010/0714/133297-byrnes/

[edit]Actually, thinking about it, a bike or motorbike makes a lot of sense. Cars can only get onto that bit of Sheriff St. from the East, all the other directions are blocked off with Bollards etc. Shooting someone on a bike and then heading straight for the pedestrian shortcuts means there's no chance a car could follow you.

given the millions of euro floating about the two gangs in the feud it doesn't add up that the shooter was on a bicycle

http://www.mirror.co.uk/incoming/dublin-shooting-horror-man-blasted-7756471

maybe I'm wrong but I think there is something else at play here like local grief..

Gamebred

The shooter will be caught I'd guess,hopefully anyways,it was very amatuerish hit.

They keep talking about the intended target, but at no point do they say that he was present at the time. Even the guards have said they can't say if it's related to the Kinahans yet, it's the tabloids who are saying that.

Or maybe a bit of burglary from lads using the the m6 and m7 for easy access :rolleyes:
Gaurds don't just walk out of school and get a pair of hand cuffs and an area to police thrown at them. They are trained no matter where they are from.

Most Gardaí in Dublin have been there since they left the college. They are very experienced in policing in Dublin. Country people policing Dublin is not the issue. The revolving prison doors are the main issue.

It suits lawyers and judges to have a revolving door of criminals in and out of courts getting untold millions in legal aid spent propping up their companies.

The legal eagles ( lawyers ) in the state departments draft laws, which the legal profession ( lawyers ) use to get their clients off or at worst case get the judges ( ex lawyers ) to suspend a sentence.

No one should be entitled to free legal aid more than 3 times. That would help a lot.

It is the same reason for car insurance prices rising. .... the cost of claims. They actually have managed to circumvent the Personal Injuries Board to keep the legal professions gravy train going.

To be fair, denying anyone the right to legal representation would not only desecrate the concept of due process, but would be very probably be illegal under EU and perhaps even international law.

Is there any CCV cameras in the area?

Thought I seen one down there a few weeks, but can't remember where.

Gun found in wheelie bin, would it not have been easier to throw it down Spencers Dock.
