How is it possible to get shot three times in the chest and come away with non life threatening injuries? I mean the law of averages says that out of three shots to the chest, at least one of them has a good chance of getting into your heart or one of your lungs...

Sure if you shot him in the head you'd miss his brain by 6 inches.

Medics have saved the life of a man who was blasted in the chest by a hitman as he sat in his car.

The victim, named locally as Stephen Somers, was in a Volkswagen Golf on St Laurence’s Terrace in Bray, Co Wicklow, when it happened.

The gunman blasted the 27-year-old twice in the chest and once in the leg.

While probably not a hardened gangster, he certainly wasn't the brightest.

Picking up charges while on bail in 2007

Arrested on his way to bloody sign on in 2013

I suppose it doesn't really matter whether he's hard or bright, he obviously hung in the wrong circles and pi$$ed someone off enough to have 3 pumped into him. I'm sure the attempt was to eliminate him too.

I saw a whatsapp video doing the rounds a few months back of a smallish built guy in the back of a car getting a fair few heavyish smacks because he owed them €180,000!!! :eek: I think they said in the video.
How in christs name could you build up that much debt?? No idea if he was finished off after that, as I don't know who anyone in the video were, but if not, what would it take? Do they then collect the €180,000 off the people that they think owed him?
Horrible life to be involved in, pure and utter scum.

For sums like that it would often be that the Gardaí found / seized the drugs. Usually being held by some Patsy who hasn't a clue and is either ingratiating himself with the big boys or owes them a smaller sum to begin with.

The lad shot in Bray is a boxer.

Has to be connected to Pete Taylor shooting?

in spite of what the star says no he is not a boxer

He may have trained for a few weeks in a community club set up in fassarow a few years ago but he is not a boxer

the only connection to bray boxing club shooting is taylor and sommers may know each other via small town criminality

Bomber Kavanagh

hatrickpatrick · 12-01-2019 8:29pm

I'd have thought Liam Byrne would be considered the number two man, above Kavanagh? No idea about his age or if he has kids though

Liam above Bomber? Your messing right.

Obviously I'm just wrong

The media tends to refer to him as DJK's right hand man, and not knowing any of those involved personally that's all I have to go on!

I don’t know either nor do I wanna but I heard someone say Liam worked for Bomber

Dante7 · 12-01-2019 8:47pm

Bomber is definitely the head of that arm of the gang. Out on bail already.

Actually after just googling them together, this article from 2000 gives ages of those involved which suggest that the 51-year old is indeed Kavanagh:

Incredible to see how these people have been career criminals for two decades and they're still not lifers in the 'Joy. All of this bloodshed could have been avoided if we had a half-decent justice system.

It would all have been avoided if they weren't all greedy kunts trying to rip each other off.

There are crews just like them around Ireland flying under the radar because they are smart enough not to draw attention to themselves. These Kinahan/Byrne monkeys are household names now but still think they can carry on like before.
