Gangster shot dead outside Edinburgh pub 'had £20k bounty on his head'

[@deiselden]

any young fellas watching ...dont be fooled by flashy cars an shit..this is how it ends

[@amandahunter4034]

Judging by his life choices and behaviour, this is no loss to the world. He didn't even think twice about the safety of other people who would be out and about in that area for Hogmanay when he posted his 'come and get me' videos. Well, one of his enemies did get him, and that's that. I expect he's done the same to rivals a few times. I wonder if the other injured person was an innocent bystander, or also a criminal. It's awful how the press and media push the idea that people like him are powerful, romantic figures and use phrases like "gangland kingpin" and "take down", when really they are just criminals who see all lives, even their own, as worthless.

So before going to the pub ge sends out a video to his enemies that hes going to be in the pub, and to "come and get him". He then made another video saying "Ive had a few drinks, so you have an advantage". Then someone did come, and got him. In hindsight it was probably not the best thing to do if you have armed dangerous enemies with fire arms.

I actually used to be a screw in HMP Glenochil, Marc was in there when I worked there for a while. I’m not naive to think he didn’t live a wild life on the outside but I have to say he was always polite and respectful towards me, I spoke to everyone with respect though, that’s how I’ve been brought up. Even up in visits too his family were always very nice. I’m only writing this because I think it’s important that when we the public see headlines like this and see gang related killings it’s easy to judge in a negative manner. But we’re all human, we all make mistakes. My experience with Marc is from personal real life experience, not stories so let’s not all be brainwashed into thinking these are all bad people, because that’s not always the case ❤️
