Subject: RE: BS: Soldiers Convicted of Crimes in NI
That is a tragic story Sweeney.
Do you believe it was a random killing of a child by a soldier?
Why would he do that?
Perhaps it was true that it was a terrible mistake.
Sweeney, when I brought up Jean McConville, (Link in my previous post) your answer then was to bring up another killing. (scroll down from my link)
You said the army shot an innocent young man and later apologized for it.
Most of what you said then was a lie.
He had tried to kill the soldiers with a bomb. Forensic tests found explosive reidues on him. He had served a sentence for posession of explosives. He is listed on Republican websites as having died fighting for Ireland.

Will you share your local knowledge of Jean McConville with us now?
