I am so tired of the bullshit about the IRA weapons decomissioning. Start with hundreds of years of broken promises, violence against Catholics that outnumbers violence by Republicans, repeated attempts like this by Orangemen determined to destroy the peace process because they know it represents the end of a status quo which works in their favor, and a Press that refuses to recognize that it is the Republican side that is holding the cease fire in the face of repeated provocation. Add in that there was never an agreement to decommission at a specific time by the IRA.

I would like to know the victims name, what his plans for life were, and did he have family. To just say that a 19 year old was killed doesn't do it for me. It depersonlizes it and makes it easy to shake ones head and move on.
