Scum Bastards:mad:
What sad news, sick scum are at it again.
Can't even shoot the scum for that would make them martyrs.

Those that hide and protect the scum are equally as bad.

I think the Real IRA or whatever this group will claim this, have seriously underestimated how NI has moved on.

Yes, SF and the DUP have problems, NI isn't perfect, there are still major divides etc. etc. but the vast, vast majority appreciate how things have changed.


This crowd have no democratic mandate, which even in the 70/80's SF had.

Yeah, Sky News say AFP (whoever they are) say he's now dead, but no other confirmation.

The intelligence community has been saying that this would happen due to a great number of Catholics joining up (and rightly so - they should join up).
This, if connected to the other scumbags that two two lives. is ONLY an attempt to bully the Catholic community.

SEE IT FOR WHAT IT IS! - THEY EVEN BULLY OUR OWN PEOPLE!

This scum recognises nothing but themselves.

This exactly. They don't have the support of the people anymore, be it active support or just acceptance of the cause or whatever. Nationalists are in a far better position now than they have been since partition, as regards equality and representation etc. It makes no sense to start a new war now when so much has already been won.

Heisenberg.

It's not yet confirmed yet by the PSNI that the shooting is fatal.

Biggins

Just mentioned it on Questions and Answers.

Watching Sky News here. Confirmed as fatality by Reuters quoting PSNI.

Sky News:

he incident happened in the predominantly Catholic area of Lismore Road in Craigavon.
"At least one police officer has been taken to hospital after a shooting," a Police Service of Northern Ireland spokeswoman said.
It comes two days after Real IRA dissidents shot and killed two British soldiers at an army base in Antrim.
Sky's David Bowden said: "Craigavon is a place where there has been gang crime before.
"This incident may have nothing whatsoever to do with the shootings on Saturday night.
"But everyone is mindful that this may well be the next step."

They dont care or want support. There is no sense involved.

Confirmed on Sky News the Officer is dead. RIP.

wtf, what a bunch of lowly cnuts, the PSNI are a joint force now. This was totally uncalled for

Now is the time for all decent people on these islands to unite in a noble cause, to rid these parts of the murderous scum once and for all.
There is a new generation in the North that only knows peace, we can't let a handful of evil criminals destroy that hope.

I agree with the above but hey if they want a war they will get it only this time they will not only have the british to contend with but also 99% of catholics up there.

These people should be put to death when caught

Real IRA? Better not say anything else on that as this isn't the thread for it.

Yes, the economy improved. The best solution is integration, it's FACT at this stage. Mixed schools, housing estates is the way forward. Having said that, I have sympathy for people stuck in the Falls Road, Shankhill etc.

I think the McCartney killing has changed SF policy on the PSNI. It will take time but I think even SF realised, at some time we have to become a proper political party and yes, that involves supporting law and order.

I'd plus 4 million that.

Unbelievable stuff, commiserations to the officers family.

They genuinely have no mandate this time, North or South.
