Mick Nugent who had no other conviction was part of a group that were going out to give a punishment beating to a known drug dealer that you wish to merely describe as a "someone". And your "Not so long ago" was in fact 20 years ago so it seems there's a bit of twisting going on in your narrative.
The Superintendent was asked was it not laudable to be involved in anti drugs campaigning.
"Yes," said Chief Superintendent Callaghan, "within certain parameters."
While we can disagree on the parameters and lengths to which known drug dealers should be subjected to, I think most right thinking people agree that anti-drugs campaigning is laudable.
Though there are some here who clearly prefer the drug-dealers to those who'd give them a beating.
Honestly your response is an insight into how sf members think. And it's sad. I despair that some people try to justify murders , punishment beatings etc because of (insert whatever here)
It's not your fucking job or your neanderthal heavies (the only power they will have in their life as they sure won't have it educationally or in the business world) to police and discipline the populace , it's the state gardai and courts.
We are fucked if a mature man in the civil service thinks quasi military like you and I fear how undemocratic the majority are in your party.
Councillors who go out to potentially kill people are OK. Mental stuff.
