The complex web of underworld figures who wanted Robbie Lawlor dead

[@domenicgalata1470]

I saw the name and was like “ the former UFC fighter Robbie Lawler killed ? No way…” and then I realized I was way off.

[@markgarrett3077]

I thought exactly the same when i first heard about it

[@homedeezyfasheezy5662]

Same … didn’t help that the first screen of the video has punching bags in the background.

[@mattyctill]

I did the same but I thought they had spelt his surname wrong!

[@jackwild8019]

Robbie Lawlor was shot on Etna Drive, in the Ardoyne, Belfast. A place where many things happened during the Troubles, and where Captain Nairac patrolled shortly before he vanished near Forkhill in the witching hours of I5th May 1977...Time makes ghosts of us all, and the Ardoyne has more ghosts than most 🚔🇬🇧🔥🇮🇪

[@liamg1706]

He didnt vanish he got bundled into a car outside a pub after pretending to a republican from belfast, taken away and shot

[@derek22]

He was in 3 steps pub getting brave as an informer shot by South armagh brigade

Get over “the troubles”. This has nothing to do with it

[@jonathanp89]

This is absolute BS. Even Lawlers associates had got tired of him. They got sick of him and his crazy behaviour. Sent him and his mates up to Ardoyne, Belfast with guns to collect a "payment"/"debt"...although his mates knew all along the guns were loaded with blanks. He went into a house and never came out alive really. His "car" and "mates" wers gone. The scumbag can rot in hell. Good riddance to bad rubbish. Nothing to do with the troubles.

Grew up around Robbie and a few others . He was always abit mad in the head as the country seen later on in his life. He knew he would go out in a blaze one day . But while he was here he terrorized alot of people and the amount of people who needed to come together to get rid of him just shows how well he protected himself and had lads shook . Ken finn would be the murder that ended his life in my opinion.

[@dd185]

Payback for that one you think?

[@IRELAND_SAYS_NO]

@@dd185 id say so. Ken was Mr.Bigs close friend , very unlikely he would have let that slide . From what I remembered The Real IRA were people Ken took out . They lured Robbie in to thinking he was cool with Mr.Big , Got him to go collect that money up the north but really it was all a set up as we all found out.

Yes, indeed it will be 47 years since Captain Nairac vanished in south Armagh...a sultry night when the Bellamy Brothers were beating out their hits and the Army were patrolling the Ardoyne from the nearby Fort Mona up in the Turf Lodge 🛑

I'm not irish, but I have alot of respect for Irish people and their beautiful country. Unfortunately Robby was a horrible, coward who shoots innocent people. I don't respect people who kill youngsters or civilians, Can't say Im happy he's gone or sad. No love lost or found.

It's a little too late to say that he's sorry now, he kicked woods while he was down, and all he said was "don't hurt me, don't hurt me - no more"

Robbie Lawlor’s mistake in life, was believing that his fearsome reputation would make him untouchable. Oh dear! He failed to learn from past history of others who went before him, such as Patrick ‘Paddywhack’ Doyle, who had people afraid, yet pissed off one person too many and was taken out. They never seem to understand the old adage ‘live fast, die young’. Why bother? It’s a mug’s game!! Anyway, Robbie was a father to 3 children who now mourn their loss forever. I bet he never once thought about them or what they might experience through his dangerous lifestyle choice. The irony is that he, brother-in-law Richie Carberry, lay literally side by side together in Dardistown Cemetery, with Paddywhack Doyle and Eamonn Dunne also sleeping in the same place. They never learn in Ireland.
