Subject: RE: BS: IRA offers to shoot suspects
The movement did not send any unit out to kill on that day. It was a pub brawl. There have been 11 deaths in 2004 due to boys coming out of pubs boozed up in the North. The differance in this case is yes members of a unit were invovled, and due to the fact they were volunteers the command took responsibility for their men and were prepared to deal with them. Volunteers know the rules according to the green book. The point which most of you are missing is that the differance between the Provisional command and the British Army is that when a serving member gets involved in an incident such as this, they expel the member then court marshal him or her. The British Army gave stripes to three such murderers in the North of Ireland and have yet to expel them from their ranks. Please stop knocking the Command, they are not at fault.
