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

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.

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.
And another one bites the dust:

Coolock is also a place full of good ol' Irish "craic". Lots of social white trash here, jobless generations living of state welfare. During the "boom years" these people did not get more than small, unlearned jobs. They always were poor and poor they'll always stay it seems.
Not worth mentioning that material lacking creates, feeds and breeds intellectual lacking. Stupidity and dumb people prevail here. There be monsters. Rents are cheap, but who'd bother living surrounded by scoundrels and thugs?

Oh yes, it's not just gangland crime.
The latest example is an ex-soldier, apparently a very nice person who was part of a Donaghmede sport club and just found a job in the fire brigade.

Btw, my train drives through Donaghmede every day.
It is a very sinister, gloomy part of Dublin, jointed to Kilbarrack (the name says it all, he?). Areas like these are known for the "Knackers" (in England they would be called "White Trash") living there. I try to never change trains at Donaghmede, because there are nearly always aggressive youngsters hanging out near the train station. 13 y.o. who drink and do drugs. And who hate foreigners.
This guy wanted to help a friend who had trouble with a loud party. The result? He was stabbed death with a knife.
I saw his mother crying in the evening news tonight. Apparently the blade of the knife broke in his chest and he died on the scene.
Dublin, all hell broke loose over you. The people in this country really freak me out!
January 11th, 2010:
2 men were shot death in an apartment in Dublin's Pearse Street. Another related corpse was found dumped at Dublin Airport:
Like almost always, these were drug / gangland related murders.
This promises to become a very bloody year (again).
Dublin stinks. Dublin sucks. Dublin is hell on earth, especially when you live on the northside.
If you consider moving to Dublin, or moving to the northside because rent is cheaper there... well, think twice!
I am astonished by the amount of news about people murdered nearly daily in the greater Dublin area alone - let alone all over Ireland!
I had the idea to collect news on a daily basis and gather this data in a blog. I think in a couple of months, this will paint a mostly interesting picture of Dublin. Think of it as you would think of one of those gory medieval paintings about hell. A collage of terror. Or the sad side of modern Ireland. Think of it as you think of any true "Pulp Fiction": real life is much more terrible than any imagined terror ever will be.
