The Unionist marchers were marching in support of Loyalist terrorists who murder innocent people just as the IRA terrorists murder innocent people.
(2) If it were simply a march by innocent Unionist victims of IRA violence it would be profoundly different.
Ok, a bit hasty on my part. Just felt sorry for the poor devil thats all.
Just to show where I am, I believe Gerry Adams to be a criminal- uncharged for his worst crimes.
If he were a hard man up for murder then the papers wouldn't make reference to how weak a man he was.
If he was a petty offender up for theft or burglary, the papers would have mentioned this straightaway: "How could a man up for a nonviolent crime like burglary or drugs possession be locked up with a violent psychopath."
So the only answer is that he assaulted either a woman or a child sexually.
If that is the case, he was gagging for the treatment he got I don't feel the slightest remorse for him.
An important question and one that I should have asked myself first. I did some frantic Google work following your query. I hit over 12 web-sites. Again and again there was no mention of any thing as to his crime.
Finally I got IRISH EMMIGRANT ON LINE. It then stated, he was "serving three years for assault". Still no definition though. I fear you are likely right and appalling though it is, a terrible justice came to him.
Still hurts to think of the sordid mess in that prison though.
Makes the US military system of prisons, for terrorists look like a sunday school treat, I must say.
.IRISH VOICE. Contributor Paddy Clancy.
To use roughly what Paddy gives the reader. Puny heroin addict Gary Douch 21 yrs old.5ft 6 ins, killed by Stephen Egan 23 yrs 6ft 2in, 220 1bs.
Egan was terribly abused as a child by his mother's boyfriend. The boyfriend was a heroin addict. Egan was considered mentally ill. He had comitted violent crimes.
The descriptions of Mount Joy are disturbing. Again, the only positive I can draw from it, is to think that the human rights johnnies, who rail against American dententions, should look at Mount Joy.
The Love Ulster march consisted of victims of terrorist violence.
Unionist marchers were marching in support of Loyalist terrorists who murder innocent people just as the IRA terrorists murder innocent people.
No, they weren't - they were marching against terrorist violence.
(2) If it were simply a march by innocent Unionist victims of IRA violence it would be profoundly different.
But they ARE just victims of IRA violence - I'm surprised at you, for falling for that Sinn Fein propaganda!
That's ok, I know what you mean.
You yourself posted the following above "Love Ulster":
It is composed of a number of victims' organisations, such as Families Acting for Innocent Relatives (FAIR), Women Raising Unionist Concerns, the Orange Order and other loyalist fraternities and activists."
The Orange Order is to the UDA what Sinn Fein is to the IRA.
The Orange Order are apologists for loyalist terrorism.
If this was a group that was composed solely of IRA victims and their supporters, a group that denounced terrorism of all kinds, that would be quite different.
The victims of the IRA need a voice - but associating that voice with the Orange Order does them no good.
Setting aside the fact that prisons should be extrmely uncomfortable places to be, a lot of the disorder in the prison probably stems from rules that restrain guards from enforcing systematic discipline.
Guards are less likely to passively allow inmates to discipline other inmates when they are allowed to actively discipline inmates by altering the parameters of their regime.
Blowing the Brits up for many years.
(New IRA Ad)
Actually, the Orange Order is continuously distancing itself from the loyalist terror groups - they have enough on their plate without the Loyalists getting involved.
The political wings of the Loyalist terror groups are political parties, like their Sinn Fein/IRA counterparts - Progressive Unionist Party/UVF, Ulster Democratic Party/UFF.
That sums it up!!
The Orange Order has longstanding links with the UDA and the UDA/UDP/UPRG is, of course, the political wing of the UFF terrorist organization.
The Orange Order may be "distancing" itself from the terrorists officially - but it has plenty of terrorist supporters in its ranks.
It's a big organisation - thus it is too mainstream to be heavily infiltrated by loyalists.
But, I will admit there are some members that are involved in terrorism.
