According to the inquest hearing just days before he was killed Danny McGurk was attacked by a 14 strong gang armed with machetes and iron bars . Yet a few days later hes sitting in his kitchen having a cup of tea ???

Pardon me for being a tad sceptical

A few years prior to his death Danny McGurk led a gang who one night armed themselves with knives , swords and hatchets . They went to the door of a young man named Kevin Taylor in the Lower Falls . They knocked on his door and .pretended to be from the PIRA to gain entry . Once inside they literally hacked young Taylor to death . The fatal blow that killed Kevin Taylor was from a long sharpened screwdiver that entered his brain through his eyeball . It was still embedded in his eye socket when his body was found . The man who led that gang to Kevin Taylors door and plunged that screwdriver into his brain was Danny McGurk . He served 6 years for manslaughter over that brutal killing .

He was notorious throughout the lower falls as an individual who once he took a dislike to you in his head would not hesitate to stab you , bite your ear off our gouge an eye out . He had done exactly this to a number of people unfortunate enough to cross his path . As well as viciously murdering one .

Prior to his death McGurk attempted to gain entry to a Prisoners charity night in the Lower Falls . Unsurprisingly given his reputation he was refused admission . Enraged at this perceived affront he attempted to assault the young girls who had denied him entry and was turfed out on his ear .

Days later he armed himself with a samurai sword and went prowling the Falls in search of people he believed were "dissidents" and loudly and publicly vowed in the bars he was searching for them he would deal with them , one by one , whilst brandishing his weapon openly . Anyone who knew him remotely knows he did not intend to engage in a bout of fisticuffs and was well capable of murder . He was a vicious psychopathic thug and his intent was very clear .

The next day he was shot in a punishment style attack . Although shot in the legs one round entered his lower back and killed him . Personally speaking Im not at all surprised if any person under this level of violent threat from that psychopath decided to put him out of action before he got to them . And only an idiot brings a knife to a gunfight , but a fight of his own choosing .

Danny McGurk wasnt killed because of political opinions , money , control or any such matters as concerned stickies , provies , "dissidents" etc . He was a vicious killer who took it into his deranged head to go in search a victim . But this time the victim was well capable of fighting back and he came off worse . Thats just called tough shit .
