Ignorant etc.

@sillyyoulfool

Ok so the law says you have a presumption of innocence. We're all "guilty" then. Why don't you have me arrested over the Jean McConville incident? Don't let the fact that I wasn't born until the eighties stop you. Sure, all we all have is a "presumed innocence".

Did someone say....."I'm going out the front (rear exit) door with Gerry"?

Busted Flat.

Did the flegs not know there were two gates. They shouldn't have left school at such a young age. There is always a front and a back door on most houses.

Mr.Crinklewood

He has gone away you know.

Nothing new there, add all of their IQ's together and you still wouldn't hit 3 figures.

Certainly has nothing to do with Jean McConville's murder anyway. Just using it as an excuse to cause a scene. I'd be embarrassed to be seen doing something like that.

onlyme!

or maybe they're just pretending he went out the back

That you Gerry? :eek:

I withdraw some of my comments I made about the PSNI. The good ones won out in the end, they are worth our support. Hopefully they can ditch the old baggage they are forced to carry, hopefully this might be the start.

Hit the nail there.

You'd think that those top class sky reporters would have had a man and a cam at the other gate also.

Have to laugh at all the comments from the Sinnerbots on the Journal story about him being released without charge. They think it's some kind of victory.

I thought there was a warning about using Shinnerbots to describe someone of an opposing view.

rockatansky

Sky news are reporting that the current NI DPP has excused himself from this case due to him representing Gerry Adams in the past.

There is but how responding to that with this,

Is even more ridiculous.

To The people in track suit bottoms/baseball hats, holding the Union Jack (which is know around the world as the butchers apron) outside where Adams was released.

Could they not do something they excel at, like watching X Factor, getting drunk and hating anyone who is a Catholic

Or the could have a footie match with their equivalents on the other side, you know the ones who got all twisty knickery when the Queen came? :pac:

That would want strong refereeing! :P

Does the fact that he was arrested and released without charge mean that it would be a lot easier for him to sue people when they make unfounded accusations against him? Miriam O'Callaghan and the rest of RTE will be ****ting themselves.

He didn't have much of a defence against slander or libel before he was arrested

He was released and a file was passed to the PPS. Whether he is charged or not is up to them.

Does this make it easier for him to sue for defamation? I don’t think so.

I v much doubt that he will. There's been nothing to stop him before now. His chum Mr ‘Slab’ Murphy tried it a few years back. Didn’t work out too well for him.

In fact, I think the chance of Adams voluntarily putting himself in a civil court, which works on a balance of probabilities, unlike a criminal court, where proof beyond a reasonable doubt is needed, is zero.

Pity. I would love to see it.

And no, Miriam O'Callaghan and the rest of RTE will NOT be “****ting themselves”.

I think all the talk about political policing was bullcrap tbh. Came across as very petty and reactionary to me. I would have preferred if McGuinness and others had just kept their mouths shut until he was released. Failing to do so has given people the right to claim 'bully-boy' tactics were used.

Here are some interesting stats from an FoI request that someone made in 2011


http://www.psni.police.uk/het-2.pdf

Questions-

(2) I would also like to know how many arrests
have been carried out in relation to HET attacks.
Again, broken down into either Loyalist or Republican investigations.


(3) I would like to know how many charges have resulted from HET investigations. Again, both
figures for Loyalist and Republican investigations.

Answers -

(2) To date there have been 72 arrests. Of these,
70 are related to loyalist enquiries and 2 are
related to republican enquiries. Sixty-five of these arrests were in
relation to one enquiry surrounding
loyalist paramilitary activities where several individuals were arrested for numerous offences.

(3) To date there have been 26 charges as a result
of HET enquiries. Twenty-five of the charges
relate to loyalists. One charge relates to republicans.
