And by the way you miss the point entirely. This post was started by someone who has an axe to grind regarding N.Ireland and for no other reason.

Not really. It was the lead news item that night and has been prominent since. It would have been discussed in this forum and I knew it would be a good one.
Peter K's post gave me new perspective, the significance of vengeance being rejected.
Ard Mhacha is always enlightening for us outsiders. I share his views on collusion in murder.

I started the robbery thread for the same reason, and tried to be neutral and non agressive in the opening of it.

It is an interesting phenomenon that there are now very few Republican threads being started. Just a few years ago it was a regular and routine feature. I had not noticed until it was pointed up here.

PS Guest Curator, I am intrigued to know the answers to Greg's questions, but am not questioning your "Northern Irish"ness
