This woman was probably paranoid schizophrenic. Jesus Christ, Boomer why don't you just become a fooking Neo-Nazi or join the KKK, because you're being complete racist a$$hole.
Gez, don't hear nothin' about no psychiatric exam - guess she isn't nuts afterall.
Huh!
Where is boomer? Haven't seen him much since, Trump won. :laughing3:
Now don't be equating the terrorist movement with the Irish Troubles that was
a family feud and nothing more
Yes, there were individual incidents like that but that was never the primary tactic for the IRA. Besides, I've heard just as brutal stories coming from Brits who served with the Royal Army during the "Troubles". Some of them weren't particularly humane with the IRA or its supporters either.A family squabble? HAHAHAHAHA!!!! IRA gunmen dragged a Catholic mother of SIX KIDS out of her home in the middle of the night and shot her in the head and buried the body in a field for the sin of giving a DYING BRIT soldier a glass of water after he fell bleeding on her door step! FOR MOST OF US THAT IS TERROR!

But when looking at incidents in the rest of Britain, the aim wasn't to cause as much death and carnage as possible. Bombs were normally set with enough time to warn the local authorities there was a bomb so they could clear everyone out of the area. They didn't need to engage in mass murder and mayhem to demonstrate to the British govt that they could get to Britons anytime, anywhere.
Hell, I remember when I was in Edinburgh in the mid '80s there was a bomb threat a few blocks from where I was staying. The authorities managed to clear everyone out and disable the bomb. Again, the aim wasn't to kill and maim people, it was merely to demonstrate that they could anytime they wanted. There were a few bomb threats throughout Britain that summer and yet not once did I ever feel that my life was at risk from one.
Basically, if you were sitting in a pub drinking a pint and they just announced a bomb threat to the area, you still had time for another pint.
I'm sorry...I missed that.
Yet the Irish Canadians who are descendants of the famine settlers have thrown aside those chains and are now Canadian first and foremost .HAHAHAHAHA!!!! Somebody is trying to make the Irish Troubles sound like a LIE-beral party leadership debate- ad is FAILING! Consider:
I got some very absurd propaganda from some doofus trying to defend the Irish Republican Army- and here is what he said- along with some comments of my own in brackets):
(I had mentioned that a Catholic mother of 6 kids had been dragged out of her home late at night by IRA gunmen and she was murdered in a field- and her “crime” was to give a Brit soldier- dying on her doorstep- a glass of water before he bled to death- so IRA DECREED SHE HAD TO DIE! And IRA fools wonder why we do not see them as benign “freedom fighters”? HAHAHAHA!)
Yes, there were individual incidents like that but that was never the primary tactic for the IRA. Besides, I've heard just as brutal stories coming from Brits who served with the Royal Army during the "Troubles". Some of them weren't particularly humane with the IRA or its supporters either.
(And THERE IS THE BIG IRA LIE! Brits were rough with ARMED MEN! IRA causally murdered civilians who opposed their views! The wider world does not accept IRA excuses!)
But when looking at incidents in the rest of Britain, the aim wasn't to cause as much death and carnage as possible. Bombs were normally set with enough time to warn the local authorities there was a bomb so they could clear everyone out of the area.
(Another BIG IRA LIE! IRA was losing the propaganda war- being portrayed as brutal dictators and mad gunmen seeking to build a dictatorship using aid from countries hostile to Britain! To soothe the public the IRA was forced to dial back the carnage and reduce the public anger and limit civilian dead. And they had to LIE about the level of support they were getting from Soviets and other terror players! So the bombs were planted and the public warned to RUN- or else! )
There were a few bomb threats throughout Britain (he mentions 1970`s) that summer and yet not once did I ever feel that my life was at risk from one. Basically, if you were sitting in a pub drinking a pint and they just announced a bomb threat to the area, you still had time for another pint.
(HAHAHAHAHA!!! Picture it: The hard core alcoholics slurping up another pint while ordinary people FLEE just in case the Soviet and or Libyan timers and detonators are just as reliable as their cars and other consumer goods!)
(For over a century Cdn Member of Parliament Darcy McGee held an UGLY record! McGee was born in County Sligo or some such pesthole and came to Canada as a child during the Potato famine. He grew to be a man here and eventually was elected to parliament- where he made himself notorious for telling the Irish: “put down your guns and stop shooting at the Brits and start talking to them in a sensible way and they will respond in kind”! So a pair of deeply offended Sein Fein gunmen waited outside Parliament for a late session to end and when McGee came to the street they shot him to death- merely for suggesting that violence would be less effective than calm, rational discussion! So for 100 years, McGee- the Irish man advocating peaceful talks with Britain was the only Cdn politician to be assassinated on the job! Not till Pierre Laporte was murdered by Quebec FLQ terrorists was another Cdn politician to die on the job!)
(IRA and its offshoots used whatever tactics they thought would bully Britain into surrender and they only gave up assassinations when security got too tight and public opinion moved against bombing! And is it not ironic that McGee got murdered because he advocated putting away the guns and talking in a sensible way to Brits- and HEY! THAT IS EXACTLY what happened! Moderates on both sides shoved the radicals off the stage and made the current peace! And it did not hurt that the Soviet Union went bankrupt and could not afford to make trouble any more and that Libya and Daffy Gaddafi were put under a military and political quarantine after Libyan gunmen shot a Brit cop from the window of their embassy after Libya was blamed for the Lockerby terror bombing! With friends like that its no wonder IRA radicals were sidelined!)
(The Irish certainly had some legitimate grievances but siding with revolutionary France under Napoleon, siding with Imperial Germany during WW1, siding with Soviet Union at the height of the Cold War and siding with Muslim terrorists- or anybody else that would supply weapons and explosives- against the west simply poisoned the IRA position in the general public mind! And now IRA supporters want to “clean up” the history books to make the radicals in the “glorious cause” look like freedom fighters instead of bloody handed revolutionaries of the sort that even many Irish citizens don’t approve of!)
