RAAD style shooting in Bray

Gardaí are appealing for information after a man was shot in both legs in a park in Bray, Co Wicklow.
The incident occurred at approximately 5.30pm in the People’s Park yesterday.
The alarm was raised by a member of the public who came across the injured man and phoned for an ambulance.
It then transpired the injuries suffered by the man were gunshot wounds, and gardaí were called to the scene.
The man was taken to Saint Vincent’s Hospital in Dublin for surgery with what were described as non life threatening injuries.
A senior garda source said the man was not immediately known to investigating officers.
He said it was too early to say whether the incident was related to a gangland dispute or dissident republicans.
“It’s hard to say,” he said. “Obviously, it was fairly calculated if he was shot in both legs.”
The man has not been interviewed by gardaí but detectives hope to speak to him tomorrow.
The scene was preserved for a technical examination with gardaí carrying out a search for shell casings.

What's RAAD ?

Should it be "rad" .... "Rad shooting in Bray dudes".

DarkyHughes

For anyone who doesn't know what RAAD is it's a Republican vigilante group who target drug dealers usually by shooting them in both legs like the IRA used to do in the 90's.

He was shot by the Bray Surf Posse?

WILL NEVER LOG OFF

op is it at all possible you have the identity wrong, and not the guards?

Maybe it took the guards a while to figure out who the man was. The word 'immediately' is relevant in the article.

That's a good point I suppose.

I really don't know much about the inner workings of the group (you could be getting confused with the IPLO) to comment on that but their favorite method of "punishment" seems to be a bullet in each leg.

The Irish Times reporters are masters at saying stuff in coded English lol. If you can't interpret the reporting, stick with tabloids. They spell things out.

I'd shoot more than one in Bray given half the chance

Just to be clear I never said it was RAAD,DAAD or any Republicans. Just the same style that they usually go for.

And no Republican group has ever profited of drug money unless you count the IPLO as Republicans, the IRA handed over £20,000 worth of cannabis to a priest during the 90's. There is no proof what so ever that Republicans have ever profited of drugs (again unless you count the IPLO as Republicans which most Republicans don't).

There only doing this type of stuff to rid their communities of drugs & by the comments sometimes on here by anti-Republicans I'd taught they'd be happy a dealer shot

RAAD stands for Republican Anti Austerity Dawgs.

They are trying to keep kids off drugs and fight public service cuts by shooting people in the legs in "tubular" and "awesome" manners.

Well, that's me convinced.

Put it this way:

IT reports: Man was not immediately known to guards
Tabloid reports: The guards hadn't a clue what was going on, but ON CLOSER INSPECTION OF THE PULSE SYSTEM, discovered that the man was in fact a convicted drug dealer.

Two different headlines too:
IT: Man shot in knees
Tabloid: Convicted drug dealer shot in broad daylight in public park

In a hilarious turn of events a bit of an identity mix up happened at the time and the cannabis was actually handed over to a young African American man who was just passing through West Belfast at the time.

One year later that young man released his first album under the name "Snoop Dogg" and the rest is history.

I'm not going to say how but I knew something like this was going to happen in Bray but not to this particular individual.

Why are you not going to say? You can tell us in complete confidence, as nobody really reads these threads anyway.

I can tell you now, with a wee bit of confidence in my 'sources', that any current 'republicanist' groups have absolutely NOTHING TO DO WITH REPUBLICANISM. I doubt they could spell the word, let alone define it.
It's criminal extortion, end of.

A faction of them did & were expelled & then went on to form the IPLO. The IPLO were later wiped out by the IRA in 1992 for their drug dealing in what's dubbed as the "Belfast night of long knifes"

Can I put my cards on the table and say the following:

1. I'm a wee bit of a Republican
2. I support Sinn Féin
3. Never ever ever ever ever, would I support an extortionist group.
4. Please disassociate SF from extortionists
5. Never would SF ever have in the past, extolled extortion.
6. Whatever the IRA DID actually stand for, it had nothing to do with drugs.
7. I still support the old virtues, tactics and beliefs of the IRA. What these scumbags are doing? Don't please ever associate them with people who fought for the freedom of our country.

It was in 1996. Snoop Dogg was going since 92.

Can you throw up your evidence of this drud dealing?

Once I see it I'll believe you're not trolling.

Export

Can I just add also, that I've read case files of convicted members of break-away groups of the IRA. What they did? Nothing to do with Republicanism or Irish Freedom. Not a jot. Yobs, being paid to extort money.
That they use a 'Republican' ruse? Don't be fooled.

I'm not defending RAAD but their not an extortionist group. their Oglachs live in crap council estates & don't live any flashy lifestyles. Their belief is their doing it for the good of their communities.

And the Provo IRA fought a just war.

Just a bit of history on RAAD for people who don't know much about them.

They were formed around mid 1995 by dissatisfied Provos who were bored with the lack of the progress the peace process was making so they formed a small group called DAAD (Direct Action Against Drugs) who operated until 1996 when the IRA ceasefire broke down. In 2005 a year or so after the IRA announced an end to the armed struggle the group reemerged as RAAD (Republican Action Against Drugs) & started operations around 2007. Recently it's been claimed they've merged with ONH & the Real IRA but have still claimed responsibility for some attacks.

Maybe not dealing directly but I thought it was common knowledge that they were extorting dealers in Dublin up until fairly recently. This is where United Criminal Alliance (UCA) sprang from. Different drug gangs came together to protect themselves, which led to them eventually murdering RIRA members.

You should stop (honest advice) letting people know what is known.
