So the collusion and orange intimidation,
the plastic bullets and blatant slaying of civilians,
the protection and rewarding of their killers,
a brutally biased police force,
and the politicians holding peace to ransom,
and division and apathy long instilled...

Could only be met by peaceful means?! Yeah right.

I truly doubt how the conditions now for peace and progress could have been without those volunteers.

Even from over here I can see why they fought, and good on them. I'd certainly have done the same if I was Irish born, or faced a similar situation here in NZ.
