evidence me hole!
Stalin was never convicted of murder, neither was Pol Pot!
he was a dirty batsard, those of us who lived in his area knew it.
Cowards and Apologists call for evidence, decent people are just relieved.

Yes Pol Pot was actually- and let us remember that Pol Pot and the Khmer Rouge had their terrorist campaign during the 1980s funded by the British state which shows that the people that Alan Ryan was dedicated to fighting were at least as if not a LOT more evil than he himself even if we believe all the guff and hot air being spouted here.

Using your own logic who exactly did Stalin murder than?

Cowards and apologists just take without any evidence at all whatever is said about anyone without any evidence? So if I was to go around accusing you of rape or beating your wife people should just believe it?

That picture gave me a bit of a twitch. You half expect those girls to break in to a version of Robert Palmer's 'Addicted to Love'

So I can fire a gun at a funeral as long as I wear aviators and a berret? Sure I would have worn them regardless, this is a bonus.

Even scarier is the amount of people whose understanding of Irish history and politics is dictated by listening to the wolfe tones etc!

Scarier again is the amount of people who believe that if you question the discourse of Irish media than you must be some frothing at the mouth physical force nationalist who wants to incinerate babies.

I will say one thing about the British newpapers, radio, etc they allow a far greater range of opinion both on the left and the right than the mainstream media in Ireland which is pathetically limited.

I'll say one thing about threads like this. They identify the posters who need to be put on ignore lists.

Given the manner in which he died while under tight police watch and the length of time it took the ambulance to arrive everyone who is concerned it the slightest about limits put on the power of the state should be very concerned: Whatever their views on Irish history and the current political situation here. It is called having a civic conscience.

Those sneaky paramedics are at it again. Maybe they were tied up helping someone whose life was worth saving.

Is this going to be an annual event for Ballygriffin?

Maybe they could build a festival around it.

Alan Ryan Week "featuring a carnival of wannabe killers, hot babes in shades...", and so on.

It's in it's infancy, give it time. Once they get their first sponsorship deal or sell the TV rights, they can go to a modelling agency and hire some proper hotties in shades.

I know enough about "monkeyface" to know he was a low life criminal scumbag.
Whoever whacked him deserves the thanks of a grateful nation.
