@john s: Yeah I hear you but I don’t think it’s a long term solution to a bigger problem. This needs to be tackled at source in my humble opinion

@WiseUp: Well going by who the 17 year olds father is its no surprise his doing it

@john s: “jail instead of suspended sentences.”

Doesn’t stop the trade. If they’re willing to risk their lives then jail won’t deter them, not with the amount of money involved.

@john malonoy: Sorry I wasn’t aware of who his aul fella is ? Who is he ? I don’t do social media or the Sunday world so I’m out of the loop I’m afraid!

@Will: we won’t know until we try, criminals do not get punished in Ireland so until you start to go to jail for your crimes. Later today as usual you will hear of someone being found guilty of a crime who has multiple convictions yet will get a suspended sentence. The legal gravy train needs to stop. So I believe we should try jail first

@WiseUp: Not going to put his name up but he was involved in crumlin/drimangh fued and the hutch/kinahan fued google it his easily found

@john malonoy: correct mate. Father and mother will say My son is an angel he wouldn’t do anything illegal. And even the Gardai have proof of their child wrongdoing the parents instead of teaching their child manners , behaviour etiquettes they will say no my son is still and angel. They don’t want to study bcaz they parents don’t train them. This will go for generations until the government roots them out of then council houses and distribute them in the rest of the country and force them to go to school.

@WiseUp: Legalising cannabis would be a great place to start. The current policy of prohibition ensures that youths have easy access to cannabis which they can then both consume and turn a profit from.

@john malonoy: Nice one, cheers

@Niall Fynite: I completely agree with you.

@WiseUp: there is an answer. Its the legalisation of most drug’s except for heroin. It will give the government more money and most importantly it will take money from these drug gangs. Its as simple as that.

@Niall: really so there are no drug gangs in the countries that have legalised it. Cigarettes are legal yet criminals still are involved. How about we enforce the law instead of the revolving door of the courts

@john s: If you read up on drug related crime in countries and American states that have legalised and regulated the sale and distribution you’ll see it absolutely works.
It’s not an easy thing to do and goes against lots of people instincts but I think it’s a necessary step at this stage.

@WiseUp: I can only Imagine the pure nuggets of A1 wisdom John S is spouting but it will have to stay imaginery as I have him muted, you all should be muting that ape.

@JustBEERbarry: As I’ve said before about Johns – He either has his head in the sand or his hand in the till. It has to be one of the other as his commentary on these issues is just ridiculous IMHO

@WiseUp: not disagreeing with you regarding legalisation, but drugs are the means to make money without having to contribute to society like the rest of us. Something else will take its place. Legalisation on its own won’t solve the crime problem.

@Pablo: I know what you’re saying but removing the revenue and distribution of the drugs and stopping the manipulation of people by these drugs gangs is what’s required. People will always look to make a quick buck and there will always be illegal activities but that doesn’t mean we just don’t bother trying to find a solution to the problems.
