I'd have thought that Fat Freddie was among the worst. Alleged involvement in about a dozen murders in that ongoing feud. Ya know, point being there are more notorious drug lords out there who have never been caught red handed for murders(yet).

Yeah but Kelly was there long before and made it all possible for the younger guys...same way the Beatles paved the way in music

Right here. I hung around with his son, and his daughter. Both deceased. Met himself once or twice and he was always gruff, so i've nothing to say about him either way.

Did the son and daughter go the same way?

They tried to shoot this guy at his house before and the gun jammed.I think he should have move somewhere else at that point because if you give these guys enough chances,they will get lucky eventually.That area is Killester,don't care what An Post says.

Why can't the hoods take better care of thier guns - this seems to happen more often than the old SA-80.

Two gardai chased the car, caught one and the other guy got away without burning out the car. I think that's very brave, two unarmed guards chasing down armed cold-blooded murderers.

They want flashy looking automatics because they watch too much TV.A revolver won't let you down by jamming.So what if they are not very "fashionable":D

+1 Simplicity is key! I presume much of this work is done at point blank so who the hell needs 13 rounds in an automatic hand gun FFS.

EDIT And a car! Jesus I thought it was a bike all the way for this stuff.

Should have been clean away because that area,if you are familiar with it is like a rabbit warren.There are loads of routes out.The Gardai were either very quick or very lucky to catch anyone.(I suspect the latter)

Shooting happened in Killester. Car was stopped and suspects arrested in Clontarf. What time does that muppett be on fm104 at?

Anyone else asking themselves just quiet how thick these 'crimebosses' really are when they go wandering around the place even though they know full well that they are targets and in this guys case there was a previous attempt to kill him in the exact same spot two years ago!

So I take it when they say he was in the Ira he was actually a bank robber that paid protection to the ira .?

he was nothing to do with the IRA on any level, he was involved with the Official IRA in the 80's. Gilmore will have a minute silence in the Dáil tomorrow for his former colleague

The prisons are overflowing for a reason!Most of these guys are as thick as two short planks.If you want to arrest/kill any of them you just sit outside the girlfriends/mothers/gym at the usual time and wait.They are creatures of habit usually.:rolleyes:

I am sure he had credible threats on his life and notified by gardai of them, He should have taken better safety precautions,Its a vicious circle all this killing and know good what so ever comes out of it.

Don't be ridiculous,If it was as simple as that we wouldn't have any crime or criminals,ps most of the criminals in prison would be well down the pecking order,There are very few major Dublin criminals doing serious time.

Nothing ridiculous about it.Arresting someone is easy.Getting a conviction with all the legal loopholes is the hard part.There are very many Major Dublin criminals pushing up daisies,which proves my point.

In fairness if you are involved in serious crime and your life has been threaten as well as an assassination attempt already you I would certainly reconsider where I was staying,He had to know this might/would happen.

I didn't say it was all good.I just disagreed with the opinion that no good came out of gangsters getting shot.Obviously innocent bystanders getting killed is terrible.Donna Cleary was not killed because of anything to do with a gangland dispute,so I fail to see why you mention her.She was killed by some lowlife who was refused entry to a house party and fired into a house full of people.She was just unfortunate( said lowlife died subsequently in a cell in Coolock Garda station).I am familiar also with the case of the young plumber who was shot during the Marlo Hyland killing.I am not familiar with anyone else you mentioned

Well maybe you should be more familiar with the Innocent victims of gangland then maybe you wont be saying... All this tit for tat gets rid of a lot of criminals permanently for little cost to the taxpayer...

The shooting came just hours after an unrelated incident in the north inner city today when a 21-year-old suspected member of the Real IRA was caught with a pistol in a car when the vehicle was stopped and searched by the Special Detective Unit and Emergency Response Unit.


Yea the ERU just happened to be floating around lol

Wait till he's shot then we'll get he lads who done it the guards here can't do a thing with out getting tipped off

Why would I want to familiarize myself with gangland killings? I might make it my specialized subject at the next pub quiz.You seem to think you are an authority on the subject,yet you included Donna Cleary whose killing was not gang related.Seems to me you need to do some homework if you are going to start naming innocent people.I do not consider someone who has links to major criminal gangs and is in a relationship with a criminal to be an innocent victim either.

Prime Time are calling him that now too. Biggest gangster killing since Martin Cahill a Sunday Times reporter said.

They caught someone with a gun today . Thought it was someone on the way to kill this fella .
Id wonder is there a connection with this and the garda being on the scene . Did the garda know then let it happen then arrest the baddies or were they meant to stop it happening and fooked it up .
