    Why bother with laws at all then? You're saying closing off one will just make more crime elsewhere.
    All the things you listed are pretty well staffed already too.

    Nope he was always on top of the list, he was hated by many, hiding in the shadows for years, surprised he lasted so long.

    But it all goes back to childhood.

    When he was just the "guinea piglet"


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,915 ✭✭✭The flying mouse


    He actually got his name from selling or letting his body be used for science years ago, You know you get paid for folks to test your reactions to certain drugs etc etc, hence the name the guinea pig.

    Yeah thats true but just with whats been going on with all the other crowds I wasn't really expecting it. Anyway even in criminal circles he would of been the lowest of the low, preying on vulnerable young addicts with with sexual assaults plus killing two young men for no reason whatsoever. Those two fellas where only 19 they should be around to experience everything we have today but he took all those years away from them.

    I understand nothing good actually comes from him being gunned down himself but I can understand why people don't have sympathy.

    It's time to legalise it.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,681 ✭✭✭Fleawuss


    His nickname stems from the time he took park in drug trials as a teen to make a few bob.

    Does the fact that he became a dealer indicate success or failure for the trials? :rolleyes:

    More like we should criminalise beer, sugar, burgers and comedy shows and then wonder why we spend billions failing to stop them happening anyway.
    Besides, murder is pretty much by definition affecting someone else. Your drug use is up to you and you alone if it's legalised.

    Not saying any of these lads are the full shilling, but I never understood how leaving a rotting corpse in a canal helped you collect a debt.

    I remember this case the two lads were caught smuggling his drugs from amsterdam at the airportand were facing charges. He was afraid they'd rat on him.
    wasn't over a debt as such

    My Dad lives where there has been a number of shootings (some less than 50 metres away.) Visiting I often think of a family member being in the right/wrong place at a particular time,ie a sliding doors scenario.

    I often think of young Anthony Campbell the 20 year old Apprentice plumber murdered when the hit men came for Hyland.

    That young lad was totally innocent and his family have not had any justice.

    Desmond was well known to the Gardaí and is suspected of involvement in a number of serious crimes, including murder. Some men in a car that arrived at the scene in Lucan last night openly celebrated his death.

    Jim cussack must have been dreaming earlier than usual last night,The majority of what he just written above is totally false , Does he actually get paid for writing that ? How much would he be on a year ? There has to be an opportunity for a decent crime reporter in Ireland to emerge.

    Who would you reckon is the best around at the Moment ?

    I like Barry Cummins and Paul Reynolds. Both are very knowledgeable and to the point on anything that happens.
    There`s little to no sensationalising with either of them.
    A stark contrast to the likes of Paul Williams who I`d imagine creams himself thinking about the positive effect the latest gangland murder is going to have on his bank balance.

    Victim was a nice chap from what I've read of him, reap what you sow and all that.

    I think the main source of this gangland problem though stems from following the U.S/U.K socio-economic model, similar sized countries like Norway or Finland don't seem to have this sort of crime to such an extent, they're more socially cohesive and inclusive with not such a gulf between a 'knacker' underclass and the middles.

    Jim Cusack linked him to the death of Maurice "bo bo" ward even though he was in custody when ward was shot. He also claimed he was the likely gunman for the corbally brothers in 2010, but he was hated by both the corbally's and their rivals. Where does he honestly get these "facts" from?

    And I would highly doubt hes killing has anything to do with either the kinihans or Hutches.

    Well if drugs are made legal (which is a mindf**k minefield) I really hope you're right and they don't find a revenue stream as lucrative as drugs.

    I doubt it though. They'll find something and it won't be nice.

    It would be the same as now I imagine. People who are into drugs do them anyway. The only change will be they go to a shop instead of ring the local head.

    Let's hope it's another low life. At this rate hopefully they'll wipe each other out and leave the rest of us in peace.

    Meh, lowlifes shooting lowlifes.. so long as no innocent person is caught in the crossfire I can't say I'm too broken up about it.

    If anything they seem to be more effective at dealing with such people than our justice system. Clearly no fear in them of getting caught/being punished, but then AGS is under-resourced and a political football the last few years. Not really surprising they can't deal with the situation.
