Should the media have given the real ira?
Should the media have given the real ira the publicity over the weekend, by showing their obscene meeting in a graveyard (very appropriate for these murderers). They have no political agenda, they just want to kill and maim, using nationality as an excuse. These people would be nothing otherwise, they really are evil, but probably go church and think themselves good Catholics

Same with Muslim Extremists, if you stop giving them the fuel and the publicity and just ignore them, they'll eventually go away, but these stories unfortunately sell and that is all the media really cares about, it's morally wrong, but that's the way it is.
They know they're going to burn in hell, taking an innocent lives isn't forgiveable.

I think the people have the right to know. I live in the Republic of Ireland and we've never had IRA activity but they said they're going to disrupt the Queen's visit. She's going to be visiting really close to where I live and I'm glad that I know to stay the hell away from there on that day for my own safety. If it weren't for the media, no one down here would know we were in any danger.
Phyl - Guessing you're American? Northern Ireland has VOTED many times to stay in the UK!!! If they wanted to be part of the Republic they already would be, okay? Real Irish people voting to stay in the UK. Got that? Good.
Phyl - Well believe it or not, we've moved on from 100's of years ago. Everyone knows about the slavery in the Caribbean, the working until starvation, the stripping of Ireland of it's culture including the language, the illegality of educating Irish people etc. but none of the British people alive today did that!! My own boyfriend is English. I don't think Americans get that we get along with each other.

No. The IRA is merely fighting to get back the land and the rights that the British stole from them.
And why? Ireland had strong people, who could be enslaved to work their land to the benefit of the British Empire, their young men could be conscripted for additional wars against other neighboring countries, such as Wales, Scotland..and beyond.

The real reason for these gangs is robbery. When the peace accord was looming, they robbed a bank of millions because their time was up. They must have spent it because here they go again.
