Well that was bound to happen. Lawlor was a complete psychopath and basically a serial killer with the amount of bodies he had under his belt. Nothing happens in Belfast without the blessing of the IRA. This is a big deal, Lawlor was a fucking maniac. I wonder who was behind it.

Well that was bound to happen. Lawlor was a complete psychopath and basically a serial killer with the amount of bodies he had under his belt. Nothing happens in Belfast without the blessing of the IRA. This is a big deal, Lawlor was a fucking maniac. I wonder who was behind it. Probably one of the mobs from North Dublin. There are different theories. Some say the Kinahans set him up, but that's probably a crock. The Kinahan stronghold is in South Dublin. In the North of the city they got their own outfits that are involved in a gang war. Weird thing is that he was hit in Ardoyne; I think that's IRA playground up there and they don't really involve themselves in the Dublin drug feuds aside from taxing the drug traffickers that want to operate on their turf. Then again, Lawlor was supposedly heading north to involve himself in an extortion scheme and the IRA do run all of the extortion and strong arm rackets up there so who knows... My money's on one of the North Dublin mobs who got to him because he was set up by someone close to him. Supposedly he wasn't well liked anymore by his surroundings. Ever since his brother-in-law Richie Carberry (a known player in North Dublin) got whacked, the guy was a loose cannon shooting and carving up anybody with even half a foot in his way and dismembered body parts were showing up in the streets. Only a matter of time before erratic behavior like that gets dealt with.

Warren Crossan, alleged getaway driver in the Lawlor murder was killed himself on Saturday. https://www.irishnews.com/news/nort...parks-fears-of-further-violence-1988785/There should be more to come out about this story than simple revenge for the Lawlor killing. I'm from West Belfast and the St James area, where Crossan was killed, is not an area where hitmen from Dublin would run around and gun someone down in broad daylight. Crossan's father Tommy was killed a number of years ago, an alleged dispute within the CIRA. However around the same time Warren was shot in a punishment style shooting and suffered leg wounds, most likely due to involvement with drugs. Whilst the RIRA may have links to drugs I would be pretty certain the CIRA does not, they're a hard-line offshoot of the mainstream PIRA from the 1980s and have very socialist, Marxist leanings. Warren's attackers are most likely local, which would suggest dissident republicans such as the RIRA, however they are unlikely to be working at the behest of drug gangs from Dublin due to their own feud with the Kinahans over the past number of years. Which is why I believe there is something greater at play. Because of the paramilitaries within Northern Ireland we have been relatively immune from Dublin's drug problems, hopefully that doesn't change.
