Look Irish media, when you're describing the casual violence wracking Ireland these days can you stay away from glamourising it and sensationalising it?
Here's a start. Stop using the word Gangland unless you can point to it on a fucking map. When you do, have at it and we'll move all the scumbags there and they can eviscerate each other to their hearts' content (or have the contents of their hearts emptied, whichever comes first). Until you do can you somehow arrive at a description that acknowledges this violence takes place surrounded by ordinary fuckers with ordinary jobs, kids, pets and the right not to be sprayed with bullets or slashed by knives? Try just using the name of the place where it happened.
Now, yer wan on TV3 News tonight was talking to the most prominent Garda in Limerick (or at least the one with the most prominent teeth) about the weekend murders. She described the murderers as footsoldiers. FOOTSOLDIERS? Is this the Paul Williams School of Glamourising Spotty Wasters Who Murder People? It's not the fucking Sopranos. Try a less glamourous synonym next time, like 5 foot scumbags. He'll know who you mean, I'm sure of it.

Good pond scum there, brings me back to my biology lessons, ah, spirogyra, conjugation tubes. Filthy plants.
You've a good eye for scum.
Remember those bus ads with Paul Williams doing his best I Will Kill You stare? The man is a menace.
he was calling for the reopening and seclusion of ganglanders on spike island lsat week.
aparently they are not criminals they are scumbag crimnals, not your ordinary decent kind?
also if he pretends to more outraged does eh think his reports get more accurate?
It's crime reporting as entertainment folks. Next he'll be donning a trenchcoat and taking scumbags on himself while shouting "I can see the Matrix!".
