That makes it OK does it ? Is there a timelimit on murder in the US ? If you don't get caught for 10 years you get a free pass ?
Tony Martin btw didn't get sent down for life, he's been out for some time now. He shot a boy in the back who was running off his property, not in self defence. There are not many, if any, states in the US where he would have been able to claim self defence. If he'd have shot him in the face while he was still in his house chances are he never would have served time.
This has been a topic of discussion recently. The government released a pamphlet spelling out what homeowners can do in self defence. If you are under threat you can kill the intruder. Tony Martin wasn't.
There are two ways you can solve something, you can either kill every man, women and child who opposes you, or you can do it peaceful. I could care less either way. But the IRA has been honorable in that they have made an effort to be peaceful in the last ten years. All the while in the last ten years the UK government in spirit has become the communist mafia that the IRA used to be.
It would be poetic if it were not tragic.
Now, what did the IRA do to YOU that makes you so against them? Now if you were against the PLO I could understand because the PLO talks about peace but ten minutes later they use a car bomb against their enemies, while the IRA has be true to their word for the most part and they have not committed any serious acts of terror in the last ten years.
