There was a public outcry and the country damn near ground to a halt when veronica guerilla died and rightly so. This is just gossipy ****e. No compassion for dead people. Like gawkers at a car wreck. If your children take a few wrong turns in life will their brutal murder be trashy entertainment fodder. This **** is spreading faster than you would think, don't think the possibility of it spreading to comfy smug suburbia is remote. The fact that so many young people look at the short stressful violent lives of "gangsters" and say hey that looks like my best option in life is a sign that our system is very very sick. This may be the last generation with the chance to stop it before it has spiralled out of all control and we are completely burying our collective heads in the sand.

I and my partner have lost family members in recent years to gangland shootings. One of them was referred to in the last couple of pages in fact. So you can keep your wishy washy bollox to be honest, unless you have a solution to the problem.

This sensationalism here and from the likes of Paul Williams is distracting us from the fact that there have been hundreds of people murdered and ****ed all solved and this is a sign of something very very rotten in the state of ireland and to have the sure they were into drugs they deserved to die attitude prevalent in this thread is not helping anyone. What solutions do you have. Because solutions are what is needed. All these people have someone who loved them and this is a public forum that they can read. Just a thought. I'm sure you know people who have made mistakes with drugs etc and died for their mistakes. I know I do and I by no means live in the thick of it. My condolences for your loss BTW.

Where people give there opinions ? or as in some posts here actually telling us what's really going on,I haven't seen any sensationalism here, just people giving there views with some knowing more than others, much better insight than PW,NT etc etc Anyway its obvious a poplar thread as its being running since feb and for the most part a well behaved thread ,imo. If you like to start a separate thread on the background and circumstances that bring all this sort of conflict out, feel free to do so.
