BigDoddyKane Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 on a related topic as to the pointlessness of gangwar, I watched that Detectives documentary following Manchester Police recently. The episode where one gang has assassinated a guy over supposed dealing in their area. The head of the gang who was found guilty. The point where hes being interviewed and saying no comment no comment and they then mention his dna was found on the gun. You can see it all come crashing down in just a look. He realised it was over nothing and for nothing. 36 years he got. For feck all, for not being able to handle some competition. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s a cracking series but seems to have been stopped after 2 episodes, maybe to do with legal appeals etc of some of its “stars”. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was due to come back this month but has been delayed. As you say, probably due to some of the people involved appealing or being charged with other crimes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shandon Par Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 (edited) Apologies for the link to The Sun but as well as saying “Dode” Baigrie is in hiding and trying to eradicate any pics of himself from the internet they mention that the details of those that could be used to get at Richardson were passed to him by “a gangster from the travelling community”. They don’t name him explicitly but if anyone has read the thread it wouldn’t take too long to join the dots. https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/news/scottish-news/7092066/bradley-welsh-murder-shooting-trainspotting-edinburgh/ https://www.pressreader.com/uk/daily-record/20160729/281492160684310 Edited May 11, 2021 by Rasputin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't really understand why he was named, sometimes they don't name people in these cases. Interestingly, the guy who was convicted of stabbing McGovern had previously been on the wrong end of an attempted murder. No-one was ever convicted but a prominent Scottish boxer was charged with it and cleared when witnesses failed to appear. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite surreal seeing black-clad police brandishing machine guns on Edinburgh streets. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ICTChris Posted June 11, 2021 Author Share Posted June 11, 2021 Daily Record report on the stabbing links it to some other attacks in the city, including one that seems to have been filmed. https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/scottish-news/machete-attack-edinburgh-retail-park-24253902?_ga=2.159922877.1056889776.1623419423-494459416.1540384793 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torpar Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 I used to live 10 minutes from the Hell's Angels clubhouse in Parkdale, Toronto. Most of them drove modest cars. They had moved there after their east end clubhouse was raided and shut down, the residents that lived near their old clubhouse then complained that the neighborhood didn't seem safe anymore. They don't seem to have huge influence here, nothing compared to their Montreal counterparts. There are Mafia families here but most of them made their money in the city then moved to the suburb of Woodbridge, so most of the shootings in the city are Somali shooting other Somali, ironic that their parents probably moved them to Canada to escape violence 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The vast majority of Mafia murders in North America now happen in Canada, probably because all the yank wiseguys are doing 100 year sentences. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While you get about a week in jail for murder in Canada.... I believe there is a "war" ongoing in Hamilton, maybe because it's closer to the US border and Buffalo but Hamilton seems to be more of a mafia town than Toronto. Toronto's "organised" crime seems to be as diverse as it's population Italian mafia, Eastern European mafias, Bikers, Jamaican Posses, Tamil gangs, Triads, MS13, Nigerian mafia etc Police say that the Hell's Angels are the 'Kings of the underworld' in Canada The closest I've been to a murder is when one happened in 2015 outside the house I used to live in, clearly not organised, more an idiot who couldn't shoot straight, I saw the officer preforming CPR as it mentions in the article, it's still unsolved as we speak. https://globalnews.ca/news/2145968/multiple-victims-after-shooting-near-muzik-nightclub/ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
