Our car was stopped and searched, that officer struck with a baton blah blah. FFS you know exactly what I mean. Has there been any reports on Catholics being put out of there homes by say petrol bombs etc?
No you didn't but that is how I am made feel because everything that goes against what republicans claim is immediately dismissed as bollocks. So I must be thick to keep posting alot of shite which no-one is going to pay the slightest bit of attention to apart from dismissing it.
Not all the sons and you know it. Is a 64 yr old woman standing with a legally held shotgun protecting her husband farming his land who was a few years older than her members of the security forces? Have you saw actual bullet wounds on someone? I have, and they were on a farmer who was shot several times in the early seventies and he was not in the security forces although his uncle was, but he lived miles away.
Absolute shite and you know it, look at the facts, look at decades of proof of repeated attacks on Unionist towns, facts on sectarian indiscriminate killings etc etc. You have loads and loads of news to read through just by googling it and not forgetting the thousands of witnesses. What about Sean O'Callaghan, he is a former volunteer and he tells a different story. Or is his version of how things were just bollocks because it shows the provos in a bad light. Thing is there is decades of evidence to back his claims yet you dismiss him entirely.
Here is some of what he wrote.
"On April 20, 1972, I was preparing bomb equipment for a training camp due to begin within days. In the shed where I had been working seconds before, there was a major explosion. I escaped from the blast with just a few cuts and minor bruises but I was arrested and charged with possession of explosives. While I was on remand in Limerick prison the Dublin government introduced the
non-jury special criminal court which sentenced me to six months. That was the sort of sentence IRA prisoners could expect in those days: there was still a lot of sympathy in the Republic. ' IS THIS SHITE?
'One of our main safe houses was a parochial house outside Omagh. Sometimes we used that house to initiate new members. Imagine the effect on a young uneducated country lad brought to his parochial house under cover of darkness to be inducted into the IRA. Try telling him that the Church was not on his side. One of the local priests usually called on another house in that area where I and other IRA men often stayed. He took great delight in asking us to relate our latest escapades. He was also forever passing on information about local Protestants: usually members or ex-members of the UDR or RUC. At least one of these was later murdered by the Provisional IRA.' IS THIS SHITE??
'This was, in reality, a war against Protestants. There was a deep, ugly hatred, centuries old, behind all of this. The prods had the better farms, the better jobs that belonged by right to the Catholics, and they wanted them.
If I wanted to attack a British army patrol or barracks, the local Provos wanted to shoot a part-time UDR or police reservist. They wanted to murder their neighbors. They wanted to drive the Protestants off the land and reclaim what they believed was their birthright. Gradually the reality was getting through to me. This was no romantic struggle against British imperialism but a squalid sectarian war directed against the Protestant people of Northern Ireland.
In March or April of 1975, I was in a flat in Monaghan town. The flat was a base for IRA men from the East Tyrone Brigade. That evening there were perhaps eight people, all full-time IRA activists, all on the run from Northern Ireland.
I was making tea when a news item on the television about the death of an RUC woman in a bomb explosion was greeted with, "I hope she's pregnant and we get two for the price of one." IS THIS SHITE??
But of course it is because it shines the ira in a bad light and those who carried out many, many massacres and sectarian attacks (the list is endless with all the proof you need) would never do, say or think such things.
They maybe did do it because of the uniform but why did they target so many fellow Ulstermen and women who were born and bred here and not the so called 'occupying' army? If there had been alot more RC's in the police then maybe they would have carried out less attacks. Would any of themof made the statement that they hope the female officer killed was pregnant because they would get two for the price of one?
? What do you think they meant by two because it certainly wasnt two officers.
Even all the sign posts in the land would have you denying and disbelieving.
No just British/Unionist ones because you supported the hate filled campaign to bomb and shoot us into submission, you can't condemn the most evil of sectarian outrages where all the proof you need is there for you to see. That is why I believe that .
Read what they say, they don't feel part of their community because there culture and way of life has been hated by many throughout Ireland for years. If they were from the another country outside the UK then there culture and identity would be inclusive and accepted. Because it is linked to Unionist culture or way of life then it will never be accepted in full by many in the republic.
You know I can't answer for them, but I am hoping to be in contact with them in the near future while I am down that way for a meeting.
By that I take it you mean because they are a small minority of Unionists/Protestants who are not accepted by republicans in the south because they differ from them both religiously and politically. Ah well so much for even a small minority having a voice.
Even I was able to gather what form of discrimination they are on about. Thanking the local community for letting them use the community centre, the burning of orange halls, sectarian threats and attacks etc, maybe you think they are being attacked by the local hindu population?
How do you know they have very small numbers? Are you ignoring those not actually in the group who support the group. You don't have to be in a lobby group to support it. Although they in terms of numbers are in a small minority and that is hardly surprizing going by what they are saying. I would probably want to leave to and be somewhere that I can enjoy my culture and way of life without protest and fear of intimidation.
?? Those who do should get of there high hypocritical horses and realize the double standards they are constantly apllying.
