Murders

The head of the Northern Ireland police service (formerly RUC) had recently asked for a small amount of special forces to be brought in, to tackle a small amount of very dangerous men. Sinn Fein's reaction was to say that this would lead to trouble, and surprise surprise it seems to have started.

I hope the powers that be take this seriously, and give our boys and girls to proper level of care, as I was always sickened at how downright criminal behaviour could nearly always be excused in NI as "part of the troubles" (thoughts come back of grown men throwing bricks at children going to school, while the police just stood and watched)

My thoughts go out to the families of the murdered soldiers, and hope for a speedy recovery of those injured.
