Gangland Shootings part 4 - Read OP before posting - updated 30/12/23

It was a hit on the number three UVF member and their top hitman, and it's in the news now because of the illegal UVF show of strength at his annual commemoration, I'm sorry that it's in contemporary news at the minute and I posted about it, it happened on the island, it involves gangsters, it was an extremely significant hit

Get over it, it's not off topic because of the partition, there shouldnt be such antagonism towards new information

Anyone know what the pills were some woman was caught with in Coolock today? Festival season about to start I'm sure the there's some good ones around.

A VETERAN republican went through emergency surgery yesterday after being stabbed outside his home.

Billy Clinton, in his early 50s, was in a critical condition last night following the attack.

He was knifed in the stomach along with his brother Terry during a row in the Markets district of South Belfast.

They were set upon during a latenight confrontation that came after an apparent long-running feud with another Markets family.

Sources say the stabbing happened after a number of other attacks earlier on Thursday.

It is understood that another man involved was left with dozens of stitches in his head after being beaten with a baseball bat.

One source told the Mirror: "It all started with a bit of a row over at the Hilton but later on there were windows smashed and it all started getting messy.

"After the windows got put in a crowd went round looking for the boy that did it. They didn't find him but there was a row on the street.

"Then the boys with masks appeared looking for your man saying they were Provies and they were going to kill him."

It's understood the man blamed for smashing the windows later agreed to meet with the other family in a bid to "smooth things over". But a fight broke out in which the man suffered head injuries and then Mr Clinton was stabbed.

Last night, a spokesman for the Belfast Trust said Mr Clinton was in a "critical" condition.

Yesterday police forensics officers were scouring the area for clues. A PSNI spokesman said that no arrests have been made.

Sinn Fein councillor Alex Maskey described the stabbing as "dusgraceful" and said anyone ready to pull a knife should be "behind bars".

He added: "I was in the hospital today visiting one of the people hurt.

There is one man in a very serious condition and another serious.

"This is a terrible attack. The police are in the middle of an investigation and I would urge anyone with information to come forward.

"This could so easily have ended with a fatality."

What happened Mago and CAB? Did he lose everything or can they kick wife and kids out of house?

JL orginaly from balgaddy but now living in finglas done the stabbing not gangland related was his mate that he stabbed

Please indulge me on what the Crumlin lads did to Declan Duffy other than get on planes and fly away til he was arrested for killing an armed British soldier in the occupied North?? Petrol bombs and kids with stones?? 😂😂 Thompson thought he was dealing with another hooligan until he was advised to leave Ireland because Duffy will kill him

Sunday Tribune 2008:

"Last week, members of the INLA, led by murder suspect Declan 'Whacker' Duffy, carried out four separate attacks on members of a rival gang headed by 27-year-old 'Fat' Freddie Thompson.

Armed INLA members burst into a busy pub in Dublin's city centre looking for Thompson and produced a pistol in a bookmaker's shop where it was thought he was placing bets.

A close associate of Thompson was slashed in the face by Duffy while two other associates had three shots fired at their car.

Garda sources say there has not been as much tension in the city since November 2005 when three Crumlin gang members were murdered within 24 hours of each other.

The Sunday Tribune understands that both Duffy and Thompson are travelling in convoys of at least three vehicles with between six and 10 gang members accompanying them at all times."

Juat walking up and disfiguring Freddies men for fun

gave as good as he got my hole

I know everything is online to ready anyways but I find it very interesting all the North related stuff. Better than hearing about young lads in nappies thinking they are the Tony Montanas of the world

Would you expect much more from an account called "Wardy No1"

Would I be right in thinking that the paramilitaries, from both sides, are running the doors up in Belfast?

I was up there just as that east Belfast uvf guy was "stood down". At a hipster brewery/bar on the Newtownards road and the two bouncers there where clearly a protection racket.

The place was full of whippet walking hipsters with crap moustaches, and it clearly didn't need bouncers. But they still had two big lads. They says good night eh every punter besides my mate and I, and when the place closed, they both drove off in brand new Mercedes cars

The crumlin boys legged it alright and came back as I said. and your post said both Duffy and Freddie were travelling around in convoy. Hence Freddie was still here and not running! Who did they slash? And for the record fan boy I am not and definitely not sticking up for FF. But Duffy done fcuk all.. It was tit for tat on both sides.. Duffy got locked up for a while then got out and then done for the murder..

Yes he was here, then he ran
