Witch hunt, I fear they won't be getting anything near a fair trial.
This
article in the Belfast Telegraph doesn't exactly describe McCann as the nice average neighbour you would want living within 50 miles of your house, and goes on to say he was regarded by the security forces as a dangerous terrorist.
It would be nice to see a similar effort and financial input being put into bringing the scum to trial who spent their time murdering innocent men, women, kids etc with car bombs, letter bombs, drive by shootings, a shotgun fired through the letter box, petrol bomb through the living room window etc. Not to forget the kneecapping and 1001 new ways to f*k up someone with a black n decker that they worked out.
A conviction and long jail term would be even nicer although that would be wishful thinking.
I think ARRSE may be slightly more vocal and less reserved in their feelings on the matter...
