Conor McGregor “Dublin Brawl”

[funso banjo baby]

who is Conal Mcgregor?

[thepocketrocket]

One thing that is missed here by those who say the gangsters should 'take it on the chin and move on' is the old Doyle Lannigan quote from 'The Sting' which basically says that if you let one person get away with taking liberties everyone will come for you. They rely on fear to keep people in check so the concept the Wig would give a free pass to someone who clobbers his dad for no reason is just daft.

Yea, if you let one thing slide theylll all take a pop

[lillywhite14]

I hope people realise Paddy The Greek and Sunglasses Ron are a pun referencing Only Fools And Horses!

[Crease]

I don't know much about the Irish gangster scene, who is who?
Is this the crown who own MTK promotions?

This will tell you pretty much all you need to know:

The last two years have been madness in Dublin. Google the hutch kinahan feud.

Yeah, I'm from Belfast and I regularly spend time in Dublin for GAA events. A good friend of mine (from Derry) who lives in Belfast was present during one of the killings.

I had introduced him to The Sunset Bar when walking down from Croker back to the train station. I always thought it was a good spot and had great banter with The Dubs in there.

Anyway, he was down for the League Final between The Dubs & Kerry and ended up staying over... Then the next night, there was a shooting in that bar, and the guy died.

[Crease]

The whole Irish ‘gangster’ scene seems a little tabloidesque. Cartels, mobs, mafias, constant reports on who’s doing what etc
Say one thing for the IRA, back in the day all these gangsters would have got their arses smacked and fvcked off back home, tail firmly between their legs.

Agreed.
Only upon catching them, they would next be seen again lying in a ditch with a hole in their head. Quite simple. No messing about.

[banjo]

Yeah the IRA "punished" them to eliminate the competition, they weren't moral guardians they were flogging the shite themselves.

I remember that, yer man was from Tyrone, a "RA" man by all accounts. The papers reckon he had a hand in the shooting at the weigh in.

I would start to get worried if the O'Driscoll brothers turn up

[handsofstone]

Where was Monkey Harris when this was all going down?

[PredatorHayds]

As well as drugs there’s a recent armed robbery spree going on.
No-one knows the man involved but
They seek him here
They seek him there

Your friend from Derry died?

Pretty sad day when these guys can be in the papers...reporting how much money they ve made out of drugs and yet still be able to operate...even openly posting death threats to people etc.

Makes you wonder what we,re actually paying taxes for.

Hasn't it always been that way?

Has it ever been as blatant tho. The media can compile detailed dossiers of what these people are getting up to. I can probably tell you the drug dealers etc around my area...and yet the police don't seem to know/care or be able to do anything about it. Sad day for a lot of areas nowadays where you,ve got a lot of the places under the control of drugs etc and no one able to do a thing about it. The police seem to be too busy handing out parking fines. Makes you wonder why you pay taxes.

Its really easy if your unable to catch these people within the current laws...change the laws.

They could very easily kill the illegal drug trade by making recreational drugs legal but that's never going to happen in our lifetime due to pandering towards conservative attitudes.

Maybe the gangs are lobbying governments to keep them illegal. Most academic experts believe that legalisation of drugs will help

Little Lennox Gilby!

When asked about what he had to say about the threats to his life McGregor driv away from the court saying come and get me come and get me

Let's be honest tho legalizing drugs isn,t gonna help the overall problem. Will just make them more accessable to more people. You,d have a bigger problem on your hands imo. Sounds like a good idea...but let's be honest all the teenagers would be on them before long. You,d probably have half a country on them.

Just fail to see with the intelligence etc they have nowadays...they can't stop them from bringing the drugs in. They know where they come from. They know who,s supplying them. They know the method of transportation. They know most of the docks etc that bring them to...and yet still can't stop them getting in. What's the point in making the airports hard to smuggle drugs into and yet... basically have no system of stopping boats etc bringing them in.

Even the money...there's guys on them lists worth 50 million. And yet never had a job in their life. I understand they launder a lot of that money. But surely theres a way to work out that someone that isn,t working can't be worth 50 million quid.

If you can buy legalised recreational drugs(which have been tested to some standard) from a shop you take away the drug gangs income, legalise prostitution too.

Conor was in court in Ireland today on a speeding offence. Theres a video on twitter of him leaving court. One of the journalists asks if he has been threatened or his life in danger and you hear Conor say "Come and get me".

If Conor thinks he is king of Ireland and untouchable this whole thing is probably not going to end well for him.

Yeah I get that mate. But would you not then be creating a bigger problem. As in half the country would be on drugs before long.
