Subject: RE: BS: Bloody Sunday Report - AT LAST
"You express so much outrage about the Protestant summer parades, but never any criticism of the murderous activities of the dissidents."
which particular group of dissidents - the ones who walked into a pub in haloween masks, shouted "trick or treat" and and mowed down the drinkers because they were catholics, or the ones who set a house on fire burning three young brothers to death, or more recently, the ones who forced schoolchildren to run a gauntlet through a "Protestant" road on their way to school.
There are two sides to the dissidence - unlike you, I don't bat for either side - search for "a plague on both your houses" I've said it often enough.
The 20/30 years long 'troubles' started following a civil rights march being directed by the RUC through a screaming mob of stone throwing loyalist - every death that followed can be directly traced back to that event.
Before you accuse anybody of double standards just remember that you have given your open support to Orange bigotry, Israeli war criminals and racists (including a fascist anti-Travellers who you claimed was only exercising his right to free speech - and throwing in your own offering that Travellers were "over-represented" in keeping slaves).
You have also written off the male population of an entire racial/cultural community as potential perverst due to their culture.
"even they have been peaceful in recent years."
As long as you don't count the rioting leading up to and following the parades - are you really claiming that this didn't happen??
