Free Derry: The IRA Drug War
Subscribe to VICE News here: bit.ly/Subscribe-to-VICE-News
In February 2014, letter bombs were sent to nine British Military recruitment offices over the course of three days. Londonderry postmarks, a coded message sent to a Northern Irish newspaper, and security forces at Downing Street all pointed to the New IRA as the main suspects.
Last Summer, VICE News visited Derry and heard from Gary Donnelly - the most prominent dissident republican in Londonderry, accused of leading operations for the Real IRA - that these attacks on Britain were to be expected as part of "strategic attacks on high profile targets," as "it's England that's occupying Ireland."
In 'Free Derry: The IRA Drug War', VICE News investigate how, sixteen years after the Good Friday peace agreement and on the eve of the first major loyalist parade through the city in four years, dissident republican activity in Derry is increasing thanks to the merger of the Real IRA with anti-drugs vigilantes.
VICE News reporter Alex Miller speaks to members of the Republican Action Against Drugs (RAAD), who formed the coalition with the Real IRA, and meets supporters as young as thirteen who are being armed with petrol bombs to combat criminal gangs and intervening police.
For the first time, Paul Stewart, a close friend of slain Dublin Real IRA leader Alan Ryan, speaks on camera about witnessing the murder, as well as sharing insights on Ryan's war against drug dealers.
Miller also interviews the mother of Andrew Smith, a man who she says was murdered by the Real IRA despite no affiliation with drugs related crime, before hearing from a Derry ex-drug dealer who now claims that, if the New IRA didn't fight drugs, "this town would be filled with ecstasy and rat poison and kids would be dying."
VICE encounter a city where kneecappings and shootings are rife, walls are branded with anti-UK slogans, and where a policeman can scarcely walk down the street - according to Gary Donnelly - "without being killed".
In "Free Derry: The IRA Drug War", VICE unmask the farcical veneer of the UK's 'City of Culture' 2013.

Yeah and that has worked out great right? What do you think would hurt the Mexican cartels the most, continued war or legalization? Think about it man... And btw, shooting people for dealing weed is absurd, bat shit crazy, it's even more absurd than going in to a liqour store and shooting the owner and staff for selling alcohol (wich btw is a far more harmful drug to both the user and society)
Maxarth007 I support legalization of marijuana, unfortunately in my country at least ,drug cartels make billions more off the trade of cocaine, meth and other synthetic drugs. In Michoacan for example they've expanded into extortion of avocado and lime producers and even illegal mining therefore citizens, vigilantes/self-defense units must put boots on the ground and go kick some butt.

That's not typically true
It's officially Londonderry but those who oppose the British occupation refer to it as either Derry or Free Derry.
actually its official name is derry~londonderry but call it as you please ill stick with Derry lol
derry all the way!
I don't know if this is still the way it was. I visited Ireland in 1990 and it was told to me that drug dealers are warned and if that does not help for them to find a new occupation, action is taken. But I went in 2000, young people on the sidewalks of Dublin were constantly asking me for a handout. I believe many of them were drug addicts. I gave one young woman who asked me 5 euros because I felt sorry for her. She then insinuated she was open for some action. I gave another 5 euros out of disgust and pity and booked.
this is the north, not dublin. Derry is where this was filmed
Dublin is different. IRA doesn't exist in the South anymore. I think the INLA does but that's different.

Why would a pro IRA person have a confederate flag, do you know the South was allied with England, and were exporting their slave cotton, to the UK, the Irish went to and fought for the North, and formed the Irish Brigade lead by Thomas Meagher.

Alan Ryan was involved with drug dealers, he was killed by rivals not enemies. Don’t martyr extortionists, murderers, and terrorists.
The main issue that has not been addressed is why the demand for drugs in the first place ? poverty, mental health issues, boredom anxiety of living among violence? The problem with harsh punishments for dealers will only push the price of drugs up which will attract more dealers or some IRA men will realise they can get very rich if they sell on themselves on the sly

my grandparents on both sides moved to england as they were persecuted for being Catholic, however as i get older i realise the conflicts are more to do with the occupation of ireland and the people were brainwashed and to hate their own neighbours.
Well the Irish were hated for being catholic. The Irish didn't like the loyalists because they made them second class citizens in their own country. Loyalists are like the fdl. They make up half the population and commit up to 89% of racist attacks basically wasps

@@tonyturner5024 Absolutely agree, the Irish have the balls to do what the police won’t, protecting their Kids from a problem that’s getting worse all over the West & it’ll get worse, drugs are more available now than ever before & they undisputedly ruin lives, there’s nothing wrong with protecting the next generations from all that shite
Who's mad that the community gets rid of drug dealers?
The war on drugs never worked and this wont work either. It's not necessarily the drugs that are the problem. Most middle class people regularly consume alcohol, cocaine, weed and ecstasy at the weekend and with a few exceptions don't have problems with it. Obviously heroin is a lot worse but still its always the poorer areas that tend to have the problems. Just as much drugs in middle class areas but less problems.
So what are you proposing ? That the police and government go round kneecapping and threatening drug dealers. I agree with your comments but seems absurd to think the police should go round doing that ...

BIG QUESTION "What is terrorism?" Indeed. Who is asking..?
Your Dad is Asking Simple....
terrorism is murdering 100 of people, blowing people and try invade a country that doesn't want to become part of you
My understanding, there's a war, the stronger power has the capacity to win, tanks, guns, alliance with other countries, the other power doesn't give a fk anymore, and will fight by any means necessary, as they can't win in a straight out battle, example bunch of guys, going up against another bunch of guys with tanks. Also if your family is killed you will automatically become a terrorist, whether you take any action, that is what you will become. And as the saying goes, history is wrote by the victor, who could be as evil as you want.

Where exactly is Derry? Is it near the City of Londonderry?
It is the original name, it stands for Daire, the Irish word for an Oak grove ... because they are on the island called Ireland. Anglo-Norman invaders of the British Isles have been trying to conquer Ireland for almost 1k years. In 1155 Pope Adrian IV abused his power as Pope to invade and claim Ireland for the English crown. He was the first and last Englishmen to ever be the Pope. Then in 1600s a Protestant King, James I, pushed out Gaels from Ulster and the Highlands and supplanted them with northern English and lowland Scots.
The name"London"derry comes from an imperial prefix, because there was a corporation called the Londonderry corporation. Londonderry is used less and less commonly as more people realise the stupidity of the name.
@@tempejkl And more and more people learn of the British invasion of Ireland which is why Northern Ireland exists. This used to be the most Gaelic region of Ireland and with their cousins in the Highlands were the most resistant to the Anglo-Norman invasion of the British Isles.

They need to start going after the DEALERS, instead of harassing addicts and locking them up instead of getting them the help they need.
I agree that police need to stop harassing addicts (as it is a illness and needs to be treated as such), but another thing that needs to be done is a major overhaul of drug laws; the IRA, like the Mexican drug cartel, etc, kill dealers as a way of eliminating competition. They (like other terrorist organizations) get their money by dealing drugs. They are thriving on the current laws.
Maybe we should adopt these tactics in our county. We need something

You missed some interesting questions, like do they distinguish between different types of drugs, do public and get targeted the same way? Is there alcoholism within rad? How does abuse of power get curtailed, is there due process for deciding how justice is dealt?
Yea like I could get being tough on opioids ect but weed who cares
@@Andras_Schiff more likely the lads finish up at the pub and go round to a kids house who's selling baggies and perform street surgery on their knee, I doubt groups like this are well structured at all

@@b8IIin I grew up in Derry and was 12 at the time of this so don’t know how it was then but weed is very easy to get now so it’s usually harder drugs to my knowledge I don’t deal so never had any run ins. But it’s true the PSNI really don’t care much about drugs

As a Brit here in London, If the real IRA was over here we would call them the Real Police. A very thought provoking piece.
No you wouldnt
Considering the original IRA from the troubles bombed the northern Irish claiming they weren't "real Irish" and didn't deserve rights due to being foreign, I don't think that would result in anything other than the London pub bombings which they commited irl.
They do what they want they don’t follow the law I say they are police
@@warlerker IRA was about before the troubles
@@Alexander-vm2ox And during the troubles it was awful.
I wish I was back home in Derry 🎶
