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.

In a different time, the idea of policing your own community wasn't as strange as this all seems. People and communities are usually better at solving their own unique problems than an outsider is.
No one's gonna tell the cops what happened but if the big man comes round knocking asking question you better believe they're gonna spill th beans

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.

Drug addiction is a problem everywhere I’m sure there are people within the republican movement who believe and would give their lives for their communities and people.It’s complicated and I don’t judge but as a former rehabilitated young offender having been straight for 40 years I believe people can change but not from a wheelchair.I wasn’t involved in drugs but I’ve lost close family members to heroin addiction so understand the strong feelings.I don’t know the answer the only answer I have is Gods love and mercy which has served me sustained me all of my life outside of that I see only hurt.

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.

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.

Cold war...IRA...man its my childhood all over again!
Careful going to school, if the IRA's back a Pipebomb might show up.
So, do they not believe in drinking either, as alcohol is a drug, too?
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
This community proves that the scourge & misery of drugs can be stopped, the police & government COULD do it they choose not to but a strong close community can,these people are heroes I’ve lived first hand with the misery drugs inflict not just on the user but the entire family, I tip my hat to a community with enough balls to deal with a major social issue to save the next generations
Backwards the British in the north not Irish.
@@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 ...
Prohibition of drugs doesn't work anywhere.
Remember to look beyond Marx on economics. When looking at the Irish independence look beyond economics. Look at monetary policy. They don't just control your capitalist institutions making representation an illusion... They control your central banking system and that's what the jacksonian Americans understood.

They usually have no issue for recreational drugs(cannabis). Just against hard drugs like heroin etc.

Of course you'll be fine if Northern Ireland stays british, But for us, The Irish Catholics who live in Northern Ireland, And have to watch our friends and family be killed and oppressed everyday, We still have to see that. The only way for peace to take place is for Northern Ireland to stay Irish.
The American Government and its "War on Drugs" (the DEA, Border Patrol/Customs, and other regional law enforcement of all levels) can take some notes from the IRA. 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.

It's called Derry not "Londonderry"
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.
A man should have the freedom to have a cheeky line if he wants
Should a man have the right to use extreme violence, fear, intimidation and chaos in an organized campaign by an organization who's profiting from selling a line of coke or bag of heroin to that man looking to enjoy himself or more likely self medicate his own mental health issues and emotional pain and trauma?
Whether or not a man has the right to use a substance - do you think dealers just compete for his money through advertising and customer service? Or do they use violence and fear and death to control territory and protect supply lines etc... I'm just saying the issue is much more complicated than your liberal upper middle clas idealistic hippie fantasy rhetoric suggests lol. And without groups like Real IRA and Continuity IRA the only other option is expecting help from a corrupt police service which are just as destructive and cause as much fear and pain in the communities as the people they arrest... the police are not going to help the community. Its a mistake to ask them to help the community solve their problems... only time police are the right answer is when your kid is kidnapped or elderly person is victimized or robbed... thoee who are totally defenseless and the cops should focus on that and let rhe community deal wirh issues like drugs. At least in certain areas where it's possible like in this video. Every country is different though so I'm not speaking for every country or community
we need something like this in Britain, drug dealers are a cancer on the community and they spread they're plague through communities and essentially ruin them.
Plenty of work for them in Glasgow.
send them round London and they'd have enough work for them to last the rest of the century.
Yeah but what about the harmless ones who sell non harmful drugs.
@@Don_Kedic all psycho-active drugs are harmful at some varying degree, even weed can be harmful if its taken in large quantities before the mind has fully matured which i think is around 25 so yeah if its a "harmless drug" being sold to (lets face it ) usually kids, then id say its still a plague that needs uprooting from society, getting people addicted to any substance legal or illegal is so so wrong. but i get where you're coming from
Drugs are the vermin of society throughout the world if we can eliminate drugs everywhere in the world crime would almost be non existent.
Londonderry my arse
+Dutch 1664 shut up your Dutch. it's Derry. Go worry about your own country
Daniel Moore Londonderry
Kyle Noble Derry
Dara Bradley Londonderry
Kyle Noble it’s Derry u hun
10:35 grate point
It's just Derry love. Not Londonderry!!!
I'm all for a United Ireland but the no drugs policy is complete bullshit. Lived in belfast for 6 months and my god there is drugs everywhere its unreal. Easy to get anything you like. It's not how it used to be, it's just people pretending to be the IRA with different policies
joel u just answered your own question, we don't war on drugs, we want control of it
@Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth Polak ?
@@iseeyoushining6278 so you're happy to have drugs in your society. As long as you can control it?
@@christycullen2355 at the end of the day drugs are always gonna be part of society tbh
True, the original IRA were race purists and threw pipe bombs everywhere. These guys are completely different.
Not Londonderry just Derry
Google maps...
Jordan V28 google maps is biased to which country you view it in
like the crimea
in ukraine the crimea is theirs and in russia its the other way round
google maps isn't a good source
Literally every sign pointing towards the city says Londonderry, what’s the big deal about the name of it
No it ain't
Maybe we should adopt these tactics in our county. We need something
Violence has no religion
TERRORISM HAS NO RELIGION.
Pretty sure the kid being interviewed at 14:40 is Paddy Gallagher, the Derry spokesman for Saoradh.
A clown!
These guys would absolutely destroy all UK gangs
el loco not in this day an age they wouldnt. Back in the 80s yes
Alfie Stanko other way round
el loco yes
Nah mate uk gangs would stand a good fight
Conor MB not chavs and roadman
It all depended on who was profiting from the revenue, they only opposed it if it benefited the other factions.
Londonderry? Where's that?
