Thread Name: BS: Loyalists' Weapons - Off The Streets NOW
Subject: RE: BS: Loyalists' Weapons - Off The Streets NOW
Loyalists have been using thier weapons albiet on each other in the last number of weeks, killing two people and injuring others, almost everyday there is a Loyalist shooting incident, are there calls for Loyalist decommisioning by any of the polititions who are obbsessed with Republican guns which are silent, I think not! Decommisioning is a ruse, it's another hurdle placed in the way of the full implementation of the Good Friday Agreement, surely the silence of guns is the most important achievment that way, lives are saved and some sense of normality can be retained.I listened yeaterday to Peter Robinson of the DUP waffle on at prime minsters question time about SF not condemming the rioting by nationalist youths, he barely touched on the fact that a young man was murdered by Loyalists in his own constituancy, a few hundred yards from his offices, if decommisioning was so important to him and his party, would he not be screaming the house down to take the guns that murdered that young man off the streets, instead he consentrates his energys on nationalists throwing stones! Time will tell if the decommisioning issue will be resolved, but if it ever is I am quite positive another hurdle will be thrown in the way of progress by Unionist/British securocrats/polititions to once again thwart peace on Irelands shores once and for all.
