Tony Murphy and his mates, after they had knocked off Shirley Brifman. And just months before they torched the Whiskey. It’s all bullshit. Whiskey Au Go Go. Shirley Brifman’s murder.

The Drugs Don’t Work, They Just Make You Worse
There is no need to go any further into Andrew O’Keefe’s crimes than one word. Ice. It was a fun drug in the 90’s when it was made from ephedrine. Almost everyone I knew snorted it or dropped it in their drink at least one or twice, and it did no-one any harm. Then the […]
