    How is being a member of a Guard of Honor illegal? Did they do anything illegal? Surely it isn't illegal to wear combats and a beret?

    They didn't fire a volley of shots from illegal firearms? What did they do that was illegal?

    They were arrested on a suspicion basis. I don't think anyone has been charged. Yet at least.

    I don't know about you - but I don't keep a beret, combat trousers and a balaclava in my wardrobe for when one of my mates croaks it.

    Isn't being a member of the organization illegal in itself?

    Yes. And the ridiculously camp way they "marched" in front of the coffin was the last straw for the psni. Someone needed to take those guys aside and have a word. It's good to see that these republicans are trying to keep a low profile anyway. (Snigger)

    Does anyone else think the FlatCap gunman might have people gunning for him in both factions, after all he is the only gunman whose face was properly caught on camera as I dont think PH's face was caught accurately enough to 100% prove it was him. No doubt their is worries about him turning supergrass now. I'm surprised he's still kicking.

    Surely there must be some technology for measuring faces that can prove the identity of someone in a photo.

    I'd imagine that their is, but since flatcap is more of a blow in i'd say there is a bigger threat of him turning informer than draglady. I dont think PH would grass up hes own.

    yep plenty of biometric face recognition software around that would do it.

    12 of the 15 that have been arrested have been released and 3 have been charged with in connection with terrorist offences which is wide ranging tbh, any lawyer worth their salt will have them out depending what evidence is used against them. The general feeling is that the police, in order to save face, have basically gone in and arrested men in military uniform with no faces covered forming a guard of honour after pressure from Unionists politicians regarding another funeral in Derry in which the INLA marched masked in front of a coffin and fired shots which outraged them.

    A few weeks after the commemoration of ACTUAL rebels - these knobheads dressing up like Action Man for a knacker criminal's funeral is a p**s take.

    They should be ashamed.

    Oh and next time some scumbag drug dealer gets shot, can the tabloids refrain from showing his Communion photo ? Yeah he was an angel at 7 and scum at 23.

    That is all it is.

    I'm still amazed dissidents can be arrested on suspicion of been a member of an organisation.

    What about criminal gangs who are a threat to the state seems their killing innocent people?

    Why can't they be arrested under the same law?

    We all know who they are. Once again something doesn't add up and people are been paid off.

    I honestly think a cartel like the kinihans with a billion euro industry are paying off cops, and if they can get away with it why not. Criminal gangs at this stage can take on dissidents without fear, surely they are a bigger threat to the state at this present moment?

    Calm down their Paul Williams. Its a gaurd of honour from his friends, it usually happens in some shape or form at anyone's funeral but whatever...

    yea but you know his defense will will raise the idea that hes not the only person in the world with a face that exact shape creating reasonable doubt

    Attacking my grammar conveys a high level of education in yourself alright.

    Anyone think PH looks very like his even younger sibling? They wouldn't start them that young would they?

    Actually getting back on track I thought there was some crazy gangland laws brought in about ten years ago. Members or leaders could be convicted pretty much on the word of a superintendent and little else. Some pair of brothers from Galway got lenghtly jail sentences this way.

    The PSNI know every single dissident republican . It's when they appear at these "events" dressed up in their Halloween costumes and trying to flaunt it on the basis of "it's a funeral, they won't come near us st a funeral" that they get lifted.
    The PSNI don't give a damn who's sobbing into a hanky or clutching a red rose, if you give permission for this pathetic posturing at your loved ones funeral, prepare for it to be interrupted by Plod and his handcuffs

    Kinda unbecoming tbf....as you said they know the dissidents

    Why go in and disrupt a funeral and upset people who are grieving



    Do people wish to see a return to the pitched battles/excessive policing of funerals of the late 80s
