Bang bang, you’re dead - 50 bullets in your head

So criminal Mark Byrne was given a one day release rom Mountjoy Prison yesterday on compassionate leave. He left the jail, went into a shop and bought credit for his mobile phone and when he came out some bloke came up to him, shot him three times and killed him.

Gardai believe the information about his release came from inside the prison and are putting it down as another gangland killing, the fifth so far in Dublin this year.

And are we supposed to be shocked by this? I suppose somebody getting shot to death in broad daylight is a fairly new thing in Ireland, unless you’re an investigative journalist in which case you’d be just waiting for it to happen. Anyway, shouldn’t we just be thankful that the gangs are knocking each other off? Less scumbags on the street that way. The police, who are unarmed, can do fuck all about it really, better that the crims do the dirty work for them.

People might point to the growth of organised crime but I have already provided a near perfect solution to wiping it out altogether. Follow those simple steps and you’re laughing.

Either that or we need an Irish Chopper Read who claims to have knocked off plenty of criminals in his time. He’d probably be called Basher Murphy or Slugger O’Toole or something. Given carte blanche he could assemble a team of crack assassins who plundered the depths of the criminal world torturing, maiming and killing until Ireland was a safe place again. Then we could send them to sort out the North.

Anyway, point is I’m not going to lose any sleep over a dead criminal. Neither should you. Unless you’re a criminal.
