    We wouldn't want any here to see the scumbags that shot 3 showband members and have Republican sympathies or Nationalist anger (Or even understand the sentiment).

    Best not watch the type of activity the UVF, UDR, RUC and BA get up to when their not shooting the bad IRA men who eat babies

    So lets get back to the usual IRA / Republican bashing......

    OK - IRA scumbags *deliberately* murdered hundreds of INNOCENT men, women and children. But I cannot verify that they actually ate the babies they murdered.

    How's that?

    I don't think the IRA as a whole were scum, plenty of people don't so you're wrong there .

    Yes they commited some attrocities and weren't always right in what they did but they were created for a reason don't be so naive to think they weren't.

    Wouldn't blame the IRA for bombing a military target at all in response to these kind of acts were commited by oppressive anti-cathlolic scum.

    And if you think the IRA are bad I'd love to know your thoughts on the BA who are currently killing women and children as we speak!

    I think the family of the pregnant woman at Omagh who lost her life and her two twins yet to be born will disagree.

    You cannot condense all the actions of the IRA's down into one atrocity.

    Don't normally watch rte but seen a programme a couple of weeks ago dramatised what would have happened if the RoI had invaded northern ireland. Would have lasted less then a day

    Yet the Brits couldnt defeat the IRA for forty years!! Back on topic your thoughts on the shooting dead of 3 catholic musicians?

    i'm 27 years old.

    i have vague memories of crossing the border with my parents. in the late 80's early 90's.

    The border crossing between louth and armagh was manned by soldiers armed with machine guns and there were heavy armoured vehicles.
    cars were pulled over and searched. It meant nothing to me as i didnt understand what was going on.

    Last weekend i was in Donegal. The only sign i had crossed the border was the change in road signs.

    In the past there were many attrocities like the miami show band, perpetuated by dominant minorities on both sides of the divide.

    I am optimistic about the future of NI because i believe that today society in the north is dominated by the majority of peaceful people who have humanity and respect for people and thier views.

    I believe the scenes of rioting on 12 july last, were fueled mostly by an opportunistic antisocial and disfunctional element. Theese same people live everywhere in the world and will sieze any excuse and opportunity to "rage agains the machine". They are thugs. And the instigators have outdated and obsolete mindsets, they are people with small minds who feel big playing soldier.

    Things are better now and will continue to improve but only if the reasonable majority can watch programmes like "bombings" realising that the context is history, and can be strong enough not to foster resentment towards people with different political aspirations.

    I think the murder of any innocent person is a disgrace regardless of their religion. What are your thoughts on the death of 8 innocent Protestants by the ira?

    How would you define innocent?

    Murdering IRA scumbags/Murdering UDA scumbags. No difference. All scumbags.

    Ehhh, I don't the poster said "I condemn the murder of innocents" I asked for his definition of innocent.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,619 ✭✭✭fontanalis


    Should be obvious.

    Anyone who deliberately targets innocent civilians is scum. It's simple really. Do you have evidence that the British Army is, as a matter of policy, deliberatley and purposefully murdering civilians today?

    That's like saying you can't condense the life of Ted Bundy or Charles Manson into one murder spree. The IRA purposefully targetted innocent men, women, and children. Hence they are vile and scum. How the OP can condemn the RIRA, and not the group from which they borrowed their methods is beyond me.

    Not really. For instance some republicans would not regard the killing of RUC or BA members as killing innocents. I was enquiring after his definition.

    That is simply not true. From what you say you make it sound like the IRA went out to deliberately kill women and children-they didn't. In many cases they attacked barracks or things such as warrenpoint, or bishopsgate in England. The IRA were not a bunch of mindless insane serial killers.

    Of course they committed many terrible acts.

    I think the reason the IRA get so much negative attention from posters, is because the likes of the UDA and the British Army don't have their sycophants here defending their actions in the North. Also, neither of them usurped and tainted the terms Nationalist and Republican, and neither claimed to be acting in my name. Also, lest we forget, it was the traitors in the IRA who refused to recognise the legitimacy of the democratically mandated Republic. That's why they get such short shrift on these boards.
