...or so the IRA commies would have you believe that the cops are actually old RUC types.
I would really advise that you read up on this atrocity. It is certainly up there with the murder of Lord Mountbatten. In fact, it is worse. Mountbatten, at least, was a political and royal figure who knew the dangers of Northern Ireland’s problems. Jean McConville was a mother of ten who had the audacity to offer comfort to a dying British soldier. Given her sad life story, unlike Mountbatten, I wonder if she ever had a happy day in her life.
In what I posted I did mention that they were allegations, and in the article it points to where from. I also pointed out I’m not up on this case much beyond this one linked article, though I’ve heard about it over the years, and left the reminder too that her many children can never forget the loss of their mother, regardless of whatever peace process and its bilateral sincerity, or lack of. If you’re outraged at the IRA, fine, but calling them commies isn’t accurate or helpful to someone unfamiliar with this - they were called fascists during WWII when that was the more serious allegation. And there was, and is, a strong socialist element, but if we’re talking about the Provisional IRA as we are here, not the INLA or some other faction of militant Irish nationalism, it’s not a good fit. I’m sure you with your intelligence can think of better slurs to express your genuine, and shared, disgust with this killing.
