uda threaten 2 girls over bonfire

You seem to be angry with everyone, MM possibly an Taoiseach , PSNI, RTE and whoever their ilk are .

It does happen it nationalist area , the punishment beatings and shootings still happen.

A load of grown men threatening to break the arms of teenage girls because they lit their fire is completely normal behaviour.

And their families going public with it. They are either idiots or are not taking the threats very seriously.

This thread nearly has it all for the moral out rage brigade. I mean terrorists threatening wee little girls in Ireland. So where are the usual moral outrage brigade?

Oh silly me I forgot these terrorists are white Christian terrorists panic over no moral outrage here.

At times northern Ireland seems so backwards, this is one of them.

Grown men are not usually the owners of bonfires are they. Anyway see you next July for the next edition.

Personally I was outraged at all the murders committed by the UDA, but its good that a bonfire has started people asking the "serious questions".

Fair punishment? Breaking kids arms... One to watch.

What about ye ....

Normal, decent people still outnumber violent scumbags by a very large margin. This is something people never realise. If every face and name of every scumbag engaging in violent crime or threatening behavior was immediately made public with their exact details, they would scurry away like the rats they are.

Because that's all they are. Rats that rely on the cover of darkness and anonymity so they can carry out their crimes. If humanity was wired differently and these scrotes immediately had a massive light shone on them, there wouldn't be a problem.

If only there was a way for people to band together and tell these guys "we are millions. We know who you are. We will make any wrong move by you public and you won't be able to fart sideways without consequences".

But because the law is there to protect criminals and punish decent people that want to fight back, it is possible for these rats to keep scurrying under the floorboards. It always annoys me when they have their faces blurred or be allowed to hide them. They should have their face on the biggest screen with their names and VERY large letters. Fcuk criminals. Do they care about their victims? If you are a violent scumbag, you should practically have to advertise that fact.

If it happened in Dublin and Terrorists threatened to assault two 13 year old girls I'd still be pretty appalled. I don't have to agree with the actions of the two children here to know the solution in this case is not better than the problem.

Terrorists using vigilantism is not the solution to anything in a modern Ireland.

It was a bonfire, kids light bonfires in Dublin, bonfires are for kids in normal societies. Is it arson when someone lights a cigar, a gas hob or wood in a stove?

Cop on and grow with your nasty little child abuse comments.

A group of scumbags build an illegal bonfire in your estate, for the laugh you decide to burn it and then get threats that they will break your arms unless you pay 2k - for burning a bonfire that doesn't belong to anyone and should not have been there in the first place.

Are you paying in that case? You've advocated already that it's not unreasonable for scumbags to threaten children and demand money (sure it's only threats) they are not entitled to in the slightest.

Of course I’d pay up if I had destroyed someone else’s stuff and gotten caught because I’d prefer it over the consequences. I would assume that’s how everyone’s mind works.
