    According to the PSNI, the structures of the IRA are still in place.

    The PSNI aren't the ones tasked with monitoring the IMC are. I haven't seen a report from the PSNI can you direct me to it.

    They have a history of it, they also have a history of targetting the Nationalist community and inflicting violence and terror on them.

    So no, not recently. They were raids for firearms and rioting served only to escalate the situation, you are absolutely trying to justify the response.

    The word is that they were raiding houses in Derry. Can you not see the fear and trepidation that would bring to Nationalists knowing what they did the last time? This will give support to groups like the New IRA, no one wants that. They shouldn't be on the streets of Derry. Full stop.

    I see, you want to return to the time when if you were an IRA child abuser, you got the protection of the local lads and neither the police nor the security forces could touch you.

    It got plenty of publicity, if you haven't seen it, it's because you only choose what you want to see.

    'The word is .....' but fact tells us something different. The BA do not go around raiding houses. The PSNI do and have done for many years now. Every media outlet and reporter will tell you that the PSNI conducted those raids. Also, if these people were law abiding citizens, there would be no need to raid their houses. If you don't want the police raiding your house then don't break the law. It's that simple.

    What's this post all about? The British armed forces killed a huge amount of civilians during the recent war, they also intimidated and inflicted violence on the Nationalist community. They should not be stationed on the streets of Derry!


    What war? There was no war.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,083 ✭✭✭Farawayhome

    Not really. 51% of those they killed during the war were innocent civilians, this doesn't include the innocents killed by their unionist allies using their bombs, guns and ammunition.

    The word? And who has been putting around this word? The same people who murdered the wee girl by any chance.

    Who's to say they won't start again. They think they were right to murder innocents the last time. The emergence of the New IRA is worrying, the presence of the British armed forces is equally worrying, how can you not see that?

    The British armed forces set up a paedophile home for them and high ranking British politicians. It's another layer of their horrific history here, they should not be on our streets. Full stop.

    Nobody would have been murdered on Friday if it were not for the actions of the New IRA. The PSNI were engaging in raids, they were a danger to nobody. You're warping a tragedy perpetrated by scum into your own agenda.

    Are you joking? The British army have a history of raiding houses, wrecking the place, beating up the occupants etc. And that's if they were lucky!

    No I remember ACC saying he believed the IRA shot Kev but then back tracked when it was realised he was shot by dissidents.

    Who said any different? The New IRA should spend time behind bars, what has that got to do with the presence of the British armed forces? You can be against more than one murderous group at the same time you know?

    As the presence if the BA is based on grapevine rumour seemingly (with no evidence) and the presence of the New IRA is based on fact, I know which one to believe.

    So other than your imagination, have you got any evidence to back up your claims that the army are on the streets of Derry?

    Yes, eyewitnesses have stated they were there.

    So four years ago and nothing to do with Friday's events and key reason at the time appears to be because of the possibility of explosives being present.

    Provide a credible source, please(given the fact literally everyone has a camera on their phone, you'd expect photos). Secondly you really seem to be trying to justifying the behaviour.

    Why do you keep saying I'm trying to justify their behaviour when I've been doing the exact opposite? I don't have a photo.

    You should be able to provide a source for your claim still. You haven't been doing the opposite, you've treated the murder of a woman as a soapbox to rant about the British army. We are all aware that they behaved atrociously in the North however the New IRA are the ones who are trying to disrupt the peace at the moment. So this is neither the thread or time to go on rants about the British.

    Not a single person has condoned the NIRA we have all stated they are scum. Then you get the unemployed 5k posters on here state pond scum about all republicans

    Eyewitness testimony is all we have.

    I've stated numerous times that the murderer of Lyra should be behind bars. The New IRA are not wanted. I can't make that any clearer. Seperately, the British army are also not wanted. Two murderous gangs on our streets will not end well. I don't get what you disagree with?

    Nationalists weren't believed the last time when they were terrorised in their own homes by the British armed forces. We can't let that be repeated.

    For the last few years we have talked about nothing else but others creating the circumstances for a breakdown of the peace on this island.

    It is possible to create the perfect storm for conflict if you are unwillingly to understand why the conflict happens in the first place.

    This is what happened last time as well. Innocent people were labelled as being IRA members to discredit them. When proof of British armed forces presence emerges, you will support the calls for them to be removed?
