Man shot dead during boxing weigh in (Dublin)

This was predicted last year and totally expected



"Two weeks ago in beautiful Costa del Sol, Spain, notorious Irish gangster Gary Hutch was murdered by a masked gunman in broad daylight outside a luxury apartment building in the seaside town of Marbella. Hutch, 34, had just returned from a morning jog when he was ambushed by the complex pool. The gunman hit Hutch several times in the back and head before jumping into a waiting BMW, which had been stolen a few days earlier, and speeding off. Currently the authorities have no suspects in custody.

Word around the Dublin underworld, though, is that Hutch was killed by members of his own gang, the legendary Kinahan mob, an international drug- and gun-trafficking syndicate with connections to gangs throughout Europe—punishment, they say, for Hutch's screwing up drug deals and stealing from the gang. The leader of the Kinahan mob, Christy Kinahan, reportedly believed Hutch, a noted hothead and loudmouth, had double-crossed him and stolen more than €100,000. Kinahan, who had also ordered the murders of two debt-collectors in the gang over the previous six months, was believed to be sending a message that disloyalty would not be tolerated.

Two days ago a funeral was held for Gary Hutch at Our Lady of Lourdes Church on Sean McDermott Street in Dublin. Hundreds of mourners gathered to pay tribute to the career criminal and nephew of famed former gangster Gerry "The Monk" Hutch. During the ceremony someone read a letter that had been written by Hutch's brother, Derek "Del Boy" Hutch, who is currently serving a prison sentence for manslaughter and cash-in-transit robbery. Hutch's mother, Kay, pled with those in attendance, many of whom were criminal associates of Hutch's, not to seek revenge on her son's killer, whoever he may be. "We don't want any retaliation," Kay Hutch said. "We don't want any family to feel the pain we are feeling." The parish priest of Our Lady of Lourdes, Father Richard Ebjeher, echoed her sentiment: "To those who are here, especially the young, I repeat the words of St Paul: 'Do not overcome evil by evil, but overcome evil by good.'"

Pleasant words and true ones, but unfortunately for Kay Hutch and Fr. Ebjeher and anyone else hoping to see an end to gangland violence in Dublin, it seems that Hutch's former underworld associates aren't interested in Biblical forbearance, not now anyway. According to one police informant, friends of Hutch's believe Kinahan had "overstepped the line," and that revenge is imminent.

"They may have bitten off more than they can chew," said the source. "His associates are not going to take this lying down, without a shadow of a doubt. They have money and have very good connections, both here and across Europe."

So, hoping for Ebjeher's best but planning for their source's worst, police in Dublin say they'll be ramping up security at a boxing event scheduled to take place at the city's National Stadium November 7 in hopes of preventing any of Hutch's friends and associates from exacting revenge on the Kinahan mob. Their logic being that the "Second Coming" card will feature fighters from Macklin's Gym Marbella, a boxing club in Costa del Sol that members of the Kinahan mob have adopted as their own and whose fighters gang members travel all over the world to support. Police figure if friends of Hutch hope to hit Christy Kinahan in retaliation for Hutch's murder, they'll start there, where members of the mob are sure to be.

This may all sound a bit strange to combat-sport fans: all this talk of murder and retaliation and mob hits. After all, you'd have to go back decades to find a time when organized crime any kind of serious connection to American boxing, while the demise of the Yakuza-supported Pride Fight Championships promotion in 2007 seems to have brought an end to MMA's brief mob-connected era. But in Ireland (and Costa del Sol, where Irish gangsters have set up a satellite criminal community) the loyalty between boxing gyms and gangs runs deep. So deep, in fact, that boxers, just by virtue of where they train, are at risk of getting caught up in the violence of Ireland's criminal underworld. Not boxing violence—real violence.

Consider this for a twisted web and a parable in avoiding affiliation with society's darker elements: In August 2014 at a villa in Marbella just minutes from the spot where Gary Hutch was murdered last month, Irish boxer Jamie Moore was shot twice during a mob attack at a villa owned by Daniel Kinahan, son of Christy Kinahan and a good friend of Hutch's. Moore, who is not a criminal, was in town just to train at Macklin's Gym Marbella with Matthew Macklin, and was attending a party at Kinahan's. Well, it soon came out that Hutch, who was also at the party and who, like Daniel Kinahan, trained at Macklin's gym, was the intended target of the shooting and that Moore was just an innocent bystander or a victim of mistaken identity. Hutch escaped but it wasn't clear if it had been Christy Kinahan who had called in the hit or if Russian mobsters (who have a heavy presence in Costa del Sol and who Hutch had apparently mouthed off to during a drug deal gone wrong not long before) were gunning for him. Regardless, Hutch retreated underground soon after, only popping up occasionally in Amsterdam (where he was nearly kidnapped) and Dublin. But the die had been cast—for him, for Moore (who, a year later, is still recovering), and perhaps for the fighters at Macklin's Gym Marbella and every boxer and boxing fan appearing at next month's event. The reach of the criminal life extends far and it extends wide, marring all it touches.

So the question now is: Will Gary Hutch's ghost haunt Dublin's "Second Coming"?

Running around in your Superman Underoos looking for cover. Fuck me.


Just to be clear, the Gunman was NOT heard to utter "You're next Connor you phony cocksucker!!" ?

I was unclear, because I thought every post on this website had to , in some way, tie in to Conor McGregor.

Either this, which seems most likely, or the wrong people didn't get paid.
 
So this had nothing to do with the actual boxing event? Or am I misreading something? From the video it seems like the gunman is shooting at the weigh-ins.

Some of the fighters at the weigh in were from the MGM Marbella gym in Spain, which is used by the Kinahan crime family. The family have been involved in several high profile executions, and this is most likely a reprisal for a shooting last year.
 
If black people were involved in this in any way, this thread would already have over 100 posts of veiled and overtly racist comments. The word 'thug' would be in every other post, as its a euphemism for another word they really want to use.

Well reports are comming out that one guy involved was disgused as a women so I'm sure some in the war room would say "see, see! This is exactly what them damn liberals want" haha

Black people are rarely involved in sophisticated mob style gangs like this. Mostly gang bangers and corner dealers killing each other in the us
 
the two gunmen had AK47s and were dressed as gardai (police)
another regular day in dublin or limerick really , 21st century gangsters up against 19th century policing.
levels of gun crime are pretty much out of control in ireland.

Like "crook", "gangbanger", "Hood", "Pieces of shit" ?

I find it odd that in this thread you'd think to even bring up black people, as no black folks were involved. It seems like you might have some sort of chip on your shoulder.

Not necessarily, you're really clutching.

And it's blacks who use the word 'thug' the most. Look, Tupac took great pride in his 'thugness'...

They should enact strict gun laws. That would have surely prevented this.
 
I thought there is pretty much a gun ban in Ireland. How on earth does this happen? Oh yeah that's right. Criminals don't obey gun laws. So let's take the guns away from the law abiding. That will help the gun problems. :( liberal logic.

AK47s? That's overkill for that kind of hit.

not if you want a crisp, clean, accurate shot, with minimal chance of malfunction or some internal mechanism to mess up aim. Moreover enough rounds and fire power to hold off unforseen obstacles, as there is a gun ban in Ireland, and no chance of conceled carry to get in the way. Can easily mow down defending citizens, or officers armed with clubs and pepper spray.
 
Damn white thugs. Its common in the white community for this to happen. Wheres O'Reilly and Hannity? Why aren't they denouncing this? Why aren't white people talking about white on white crime?
Damn big lipped bastards.
