The law is the law - you can't pick or choose

They've just done a guy 101 years old for sex crimes in the 70's

Presumably they think they have enough evidence to stand up in court - it has to be tough after so long but just because you serve in the Armed Forces doesn't mean you can get away with murder..................... or anything else

How can a guy being done for sex crimes be compared with a man serving his country and protecting local civilians from the cowards of the IRA and other paramilitaries?


From the BBC report:


Mr McCann's daughter Aine said that the failure of the the PSNI to reveal the identity of the police officers involved on the day was 'shameful': "It has not been possible to question the Special Branch version of events because, incredibly, the RUC then and the PSNI now, claim not to be aware of the identities of the two Special Branch officers that were following Joe that day."

So they think they have enough evidence without even being able to speak to pólice officers who were present at the scene? All they have is a 40 year old report written by these guys who now can´t be identified?
Meanwhile gangs of these murdering cowards are walking the streets of N.I. totally free.
