Gangland Shootings Cont'd [Mod Note in Post #1 updated 27/01/20

20-01-2018 10:16pm#1Man shot in Dublin today, from Pachal Sheehys report its obvious who the victim is. Just wondering why theres no thread with the usual discussion on Boards. Is there a ban on discussing the Kinahan/Hutch 'fued'?
MOD
This thread is not to have speculation, no use of initials to hide identities of people and not to be used to attack each other.
Please keep this on the topic of the shootings.
Mod warning 02/08/19Dross posts and responses deleted together with a number of off-topic posts
If you insist on trying to bring race into threads when there is no link to gangland shootings you can expect sanctions
Any questions PM me - do not respond to this warning in-thread
Thanks
Mod warning 6/12/19
Stop the drugs talk outside that relating to "Gangland Shootings"
Also stop the backseat modding. If you want to get the attention of mods report posts. If you think someone is going too far off-topic, or are acting teh dick, report it and the mods will have a look
Any questions PM me - do not respond to this warning in thread
Mod warning 15/01/20No pictures or links to pictures, videos or anything else graphically depicting any body parts, genuine or fake (or indeed any such media relating to any individual/crime). They are being taken down from other sites for a reason
Any questions PM me - do not respond to this post in-thread
Further warning 17/01/20Boards.ie: Niamh wrote: »***THREAD WARNING, MUST-READ***
I think a few things need to be cleared up here before I can allow this thread to continue. As you will have read in the opening post there are mod warnings not to post names or initials. I have deleted literally hundreds of posts attributing murders and other crimes to people (via their initials) that they have not been convicted of. That needs to stop immediately.
If you are posting a new piece of breaking news, include a source. Sources are news articles or tweets from reputable journalists, nothing else. Include the link if you are copying text from a story - if you have too few posts to include a link, cool your jets, someone else will post it shortly.
"I'm being told it was..."
"So and so on Facebook posted that...
"Tweet by someone says..."
"Got a Whatsapp about..."
"My neighbours aunty's fella said..."
None of these are reliable news sources, please do not post them here as if they were. Using the words 'apparently' or 'I heard that' etc. doesn't take away from the fact that it's probably bull.
Users, particularly new ones who are telling others 'that's not what this thread is for'...actually, political views, solutions to the wider social issues being discussed are exactly what this thread, forum and site are for, it's a discussion site not a gossip swap so if you don't want to get invovled in those aspects of the discussion, skip on to the next post but don't presume to know what the thread is or is not for. If you genuinely think something is off-topic, report it don't respond.
"This is great advertising for Boards, look at all those views, they'll never close this thread". Wrong. The number of companies queuing up to advertise on a thread about drug dealers and murderers is exactly zero and that is not going to change. I will have no problem closing and removing the thread if people persist in naming names, posting unfounded rumours or trying to get around the naming names.
There are a large number of genuine posters who are following these news stories and are interested in discussing things as they are reported so the thread is being kept open for these people. Please report any posts that violate these thread rules or any site rules to keep it that way
Thanks all.
Mods are doing their own clean-up of the thread so I've left it closed but they will re-open when their review is complete.
Warning added 20/01/20
I've just deleted about a hundred posts made in the past 4 hours or so
From now on anyone ignoring the warnings in the OP can expect a minimum 1 week forum ban
Please do not claim you were not warned
Mod warning 27/01/20No discussion of any ongoing trial or any circumstances surrounding it is permitted
Unfortunately if posters do bring it up we will have to close the thread
Any questions PM me - do not respond to this post in-thread
Thanks5

Something happened at wardys safe house on ratoath drive, four bangs, either shots or stun grenades, garda still have the road blocked off, ERU had the whole block up cappagh road, abbotstown road, abbotstown drive and ratoath drive surrounded (in pic below), garda were piling over a back wall, searching all the back gardens, news crews were on the scene, every copper in Dublin seemed to be there.

Sounds like a raid if the Media were already there.0 -

Obviously you don't know the one I'm talking about, plus this is 2019, they are wireless with battery back-up, there's no wires going into the ground, all electricity in Finglas West comes from wooden poles and feeds into each block of houses.
Even Nikola Tesla in 1901 could transmit electricity from Wardenclyffe Tower wirelessly, there's a series of "box's" on many old fashioned wooden electricity poles in Finglas that feed each other wirelessly with power, them days of burning tyres are gone.
Even phones charge now wirelessly, you think the powers that be don't employ latest technology, I'm not being rude, just stating facts.

Wireless only works when near, 10 foot ain't going to charge nothing.
Plus the one in Darndale had a maintenance box as shown in the picture, like I said a tank or high explosives.
Two really different types of cameras and supports, the one in Finglas goes another 6ft into the ground, no maintenance needed unless you have a high reach.
Why do street lights need these?, 5G ain't here yet.
