She wasn't the first person in the Six Counties to be "totally innocent, not armed and incapable of defending herself" either:

But I hope she is the last.
It was only the prompt action by a Sin Fein activist, now a well known and much praised "legitimate" politician, who spirited two handguns away double quick time that left the Paras as the villains of the peace.

It could never be proved of course, but nevertheless it was witnessed by
people who were in the Fenian mob and of course typical of their kind were bragging about it quick time.

I was working in Ulster at the time on attachment to Shorts and remember the graffiti on walls, particularly around Carrickfergus, "Paras fourteen, IRA nil!"

It will never be proved or believed

My Wife Cousin was a member of the Offcial IRA at the time.

On a visit to Cork later he told me this story.

He told me that two IRA gun men standing on the balcony of two flats behind the crowd fired on the Paras first and then ran

Re: The return of the dissident IRA

Two men have been arrested for the shooting. She appears to have been targeted because of her LGBT connections.

Yeah right.

Just as islamic terrorist atrocities are attempted to be explained away as the SOB's being presented as being mentally deranged.

My suspicion is that the prospect of BREXIT bringing a VERY hard border with the foreign anglophobe Eire sepersting their part of the island of Ireland with the British part of the UK has a great deal to do with this.

My hope is that BREXIT will result in such a border, it should have been in place decades ago.

Quite apart from anything else if Eire remains a part of the horrible EU freedom of movement across the EU will mean that the likes of the Calais prospective burglars will have open access to our country just by schlepping across a bit of Irish bog.

I despair, I really do.

Just what is the point of such violence?
As previous poster highlights, it is simply about propaganda and fear-mongering to scupper BrExit, nothing more nothing less.

The lengths these people will go to to try and prevent BrExit are astonishing. We need to leave with no deal immediately and draw a line under it all.

IMO BREXIT is the reason that the latter day fenians have reopens hostilities, after all the GFA was not a peace deal, it was an armistice and the very thought that there would be a very much needed and very hard border to put an end to their invasion of Ulster set them off again.

It would help if we didn't give these people the publicity but journalists love them.
