What about the young lad from the markets nailed to the ground last year in Spring Martin by west Belfast UDA?

Discrimination was built into the rotten little statelet unionists created for themselves. The very fact that you acknowledge unionists were in a position to discriminate against their neighbours is proof of that fact. That's largely history although the DUP/UUP still act like unionists alone have the right to grant, or deny, rights to the public. protestants and catholics have been getting on fine with each other While the Catholics kept their heads down and knew their place.

There are other words that describe somebody who favours a blood bath of random killing based on religion. I don't think you are a unionist at all btw.

They fought from behind the civil society which protected them, from the far end of a ticking timer, from the crosshairs of sniper's sights. Because they lacked the public support and the private bravery to stand up and fight as men, they instead fought as the cowards they were.

Terror campaign 1920s Terror campaign 1940s Terror campaign 1950s Terror campaign 1960s-70s-80s-90s It is ironic that those self appointed 'defenders of the Catholic community' were nothing more than agent provocateurs provoking the Unionist community into regarding all the Catholic community in northern Ireland as a fifth column hell bent on destroying them...hence the backlash of discrimination and exclusion. The IRA were not the saviours of the catholic community, but were in fact the instigators of their misery. It is obvious now since the IRA have been taken out of the picture the protestants and catholics have been getting on fine with each other and realising they have far more in common with each other than with anybody else.
