There is never justification for ending a young life. Particulary in this cowardly manner.These people should be brought to justice. But with the forces of law and order being what they are I doubt if they will even be caught.
I guess we are as sure as we can be that this is a sectarian killing but let us not forget that first and foremost this young lad was a person. Catholic, protestant, loyalist, catholic, black, white, orange or green. It doesn't matter.
While people see these arbitrary divisions it will give them the excuse they need to take more lives.
