Interesting crime statistics indicating that murder and manslaughter isn't rising - in the recession, burglaries are clearly on the rise.

"The Don" shot dead "the Irish way": in a pub...
Some of the scumbags on Dublin's northside seem to read my blog.
A couple of months ago I urged that the petty criminal called "The Don" should be killed.
My wish has come true, as Eamon Dunne (34), named "The Don" by the Irish yellow press (honestly, ALL the press in this country falls into this category, even the Irish Times...) after he took power over the country's biggest drug gang, was shot 4 times in the head by a killer (let me guess... ANOTHER scumbag from another drug gang?) in the Pub "Faussagh House" in Cabra, Dublin Northside.
Good riddance of the freeloading bastard.
Dunne was arguably the boss of Irelands biggest drug gang, and it seems that he was controlling drug traffic in Ballymun, Finglas and Blanchardstown, but I suppose also in other quarters like Coolock. He was also responsible for numerous murders - mostly of other gangsters.
But honestly: who cares?
The Gardai obviously don't care. They weren't even able to arrest the sucker as he was obviously letting others do the dirty work.
I don't care because I am sure that the gang already has a new leader. The problem is never the head of the Hydra. It's the missing hero.
Oh, and a nice detail: his 17-year-old daughter was with him in the pub when he was executed. Well, hopefully she learns the lesson: crime doesn't pay in the long run. A good education just might. And moving out of shitholes like Dublin's Northside.
Amen.
Oh, some links:

Dublin - A racist Easter stabbing (read: "murder")
Not enough that this country is currently wondering a lot about the bastards in cassocks who not only mentally dominated the way the Irish were supposed to think, live and die; but as it now turns out also sexually abused generations of their children.
This Easter just became a little bit grimmer, as we now seem to have the first racist murder of the year.
During the last weeks, I was wondering about how little news there is on the "Dublin Murder" front, and now - bang! - it's not only a murder, not only a stabbing - it's the heinous stabbing of a 15 year old youth, and the main reason for it is very likely his colour of skin.
Toyosi Shittabey, a teenager of Nigerian descent, who lived already a couple of years in Ireland, was stabbed and died in hospital on April 3rd. It is understood that too brothers in their 20s and 30s respectively are currently questioned and Garda seem to be pretty sure that racism was the reason / motive.
The murder happened in northwest Dublin, Tyrrelstown.
My deepest condolences to Toyosi's family.

"Celtic Tiger" did not improve Irelands crime rate
Independent.ie published an interesting article about the result of a report produced by the Central Statistics office (CSO):
http://www.independent.ie/national-news/crime-soared-alongside-economy-in-boom-years-2080666.html
The report shows that during the 5 years between 2004 and 2008, things did not really get better on the crime-front. One asks itself how the recession might worsen things now even more... the next report in 3-4 years time will surely be an even more interesting one!
Apparently, Limerick is the worst place in Ireland in regards of gangland crimes and homicides, closely followed by the hottest southside quarters of Dublin.
Interesting citations from opposition politicians:

"Fine Gael's justice spokesman Charlie Flanagan said the statistics showed that the Government was losing the war on crime."
"Labour's justice spokesman Pat Rabbitte said Fianna Fail, which had promised zero tolerance on crime, had made zero progress in most areas."
Some statistics about South Dublin crime & murder rate
A nice little article comparing south Dublin with Limerick in regards of homicide and gangland crimes. There are also drug-crime numbers in there:
http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/ireland/2010/0226/1224265202334.html
It seems as if Drimnagh, Crumlin (and I suppose also Tallaght) are hot-spots on Dublin's south-side which are often neglected in discussions about the oh-so-bad northside.

And another gangster killed...
...one of the good things of Dublin's gangland crime is that most of the murder victims are thugs.
So, the poor performance of the Irish police force (which is underpaid and overworked, nothing special in Ireland...) has also its good sides: just do nothing and the bad people will eventually kill themselves.
Cynic as this may sound, I sometimes believe that this might be one of the business rationales of Garda bureaucrats in times of recession (oh, was it different during the so-called "Tiger years"? Likely not...).
The latest "victim" of gangland crime is a "well-known criminal involved in robberies, drugs, gun and gangland crime", states RTE news. And today, Breakingnews / IrelandOnline gives the name of the thug: Aidan Byrne.
Apparently he was found with gunshot wounds in his chest, in the passenger seat of a car on Drumalee Avenue, near North Circular Road (Phibsborough)
The story sounds like a typical gangster-template-story from Dublin.
In his early 30s, he was from the East Wall area, one of the "hot spots" of Dublin gangland activity. East wall is a slum-like relic of a once very poor area, squeezed in between the fancy new finance centre, IFSC, and the newer Dockland developments, where posh yuppies and young employees from all over Europe, many of them working in the finance sector or for companies like Facebook or Google, live.
While most of the gangland-crime is nowadays concentrating in more off-beaten quarters to the north, northwest and southwest of Dublin, East Wall (like Summerhill) is one of the places near the city centre where crime and murder are still quite high.

The Irish Police's Approach to Carnival
An interesting article today on herald.ie (http://www.herald.ie/national-news/city-news/swat-units-take-to-streets-in-major-show-of-strength-2070796.html).
Apparently, the Crumlin-Drimnagh quarters of Dublin (to the south-west, approaching the infamous ganster-land Tallaght) saw gangland shootings and incidents over the last weeks. There seem to be a number of so-called "volatile" elements among the thugs who think they are as cool as a figure out of a Tarantino or Coppola movie.
Naturally, a REAL Don Corleone or Jules Winnfield would just laugh out loud at the sight of one of those farcical Irish wannabe-gangsters waving around clumsily with a gun they are not worth possessing. Style and poise can't be bought with dirty money. You have them or you will never have them. And if you're just a taters-eating, Guinness-drooling SOB from Coolock, Artane or Tallaght, and you still try to imitate a movie-ganster.... well then you're just pathetic.
Never the less, that's the way Dublin's "gangsters" think they can impress helpless neighbours and hard-working citizens. And that's why the Irish caricature of a police-force, called "Garda" is so desperately trying to lull the populace into false peace - because imbecile's with money and weapons are on and about.
Good luck, Watchmen!
