tomofson wrote: » He killed before in a drunken fight when he was 15 nowhere near a pro killer nor was that killing premeditated.
scopper wrote: » Yeah, and every hitman would have a first hit so in a sense he was ahead of some. I mean more I can see him not being the top to feel too much guilt over such things.
tomofson wrote: » Your imagination is pretty far fetched if you think that drunken killing was a "hit" I dont believe he is a hitman.

If all these boyo s have been got proper sentencing years ago for their 50 to 200 convictions we wouldn't have this problem. As far as I am concerned the blame lies with the past governments and the Judiciary. They are to blame with their revolving door policy.

Seems to be alot of heat on them now, they are appear to be reckless and unorganised. If there is much of a grouping left now that is.

Peter Anthony wrote: » I think they are just a bunch of rogue ex INLA's who for what ever reason cant or wont come back to society and work normal jobs, and just using this stuff as income. With most of their criminal and dissident histories wouldnt be too easy to go back to being an average Joe. And the INLA never got a retirement pension like alot of Provos did lol Mostly just doing protection, security stuff, some extortion apparently but obviously that has escalated. I wouldnt even say they are much of anything probably a group of guys loosely associated with each other. 3-4 of them have been arrested this week alone and one on the run. Im sure some still do the IRSP pickets as they were ex Prisoners, but that doesn't put bread on the table !
