"The INLA: Because Who Needs a Career When You Can Deal Drugs and Carry Guns?"
Ah, Derry, the city that keeps on giving…to the police, that is. In a series of raids that would put a smile on the face of even the most seasoned detective, the PSNI have been busy seizing all sorts of goodies from the INLA. You know, the usual: Class A and Class B drugs, a couple of guns, some cash, and a few mobile phones. Because, why not? It’s not like they were going to use those phones to order a pizza or anything.
Now, I know what you’re thinking. "INLA, isn’t that just a bunch of old IRA men who couldn’t get a job in the real world?" Well, yes and no. I mean, they’re not exactly the most effective organization, but they do seem to have a knack for getting their hands on some quality merchandise. I mean, have you seen the prices of a gram of coke in Derry lately? It’s like they’re trying to put the local pubs out of business.
But seriously, folks, it’s good to see the police doing some actual police work for a change. I mean, it’s not like they’re just sitting around twiddling their thumbs, waiting for the next "Security Alert" to go off so they can all run around like headless chickens. Although, that does sound like a fun game. "Security Alert" – it’s like a real-life game of "Simon Says"!
According to the reports, the searches were carried out as part of an investigation into "ongoing drugs criminality" linked to the INLA. Now, I’m no expert, but I’m pretty sure that’s just a fancy way of saying "we found out they were selling drugs, so we went to get them". I mean, it’s not like they were running some kind of sophisticated operation. Although, if they were, I’m sure they would have at least used some code names or something. "The Eagle Has Landed"… "Operation: Derry Dash"… something like that.
And let’s not forget the mobile phones. Ah, the mobile phones. Because what’s a good old-fashioned police raid without a few mobile phones, eh? I mean, it’s not like they’re just going to leave them lying around with all their contacts and whatnot. Although, if they did, I’m sure the police would have a field day. "Hey, look! A phonebook! And it’s not even encrypted!".
All joking aside, it’s good to see the police taking action against these types of organizations. I mean, who needs a functioning society when you have a bunch of gangsters running around selling drugs and carrying guns? Not me, that’s for sure.
The Details
For those of you who like a bit more detail, here are the specifics:
- Class A and Class B drugs were seized, although the exact quantities are not specified. I mean, it’s not like they’re going to give away all their secrets, right?
- Two weapons were seized, although the type is not specified. I’m guessing they weren’t just water pistols, though.
- A number of mobile phones were seized, although the exact number is not specified. I’m guessing they’re all going to be ringing non-stop with calls from worried "customers".
- Cash was seized, although the exact amount is not specified. I’m guessing it’s enough to buy a few rounds at the local pub, at least.
The Verdict
So, there you have it. The INLA: because who needs a career when you can deal drugs and carry guns? I mean, it’s not like they’re going to win any awards for "Most Productive Members of Society" anytime soon. But hey, at least they’re keeping the police on their toes.
And to the PSNI, I say: keep up the good work! I mean, it’s not like you have anything better to do, right? Although, if you do happen to stumble upon any more "Security Alerts", be sure to let me know. I’ll be the one hiding under the bed, waiting for it all to blow over.
