Attack in Northern Ireland
In a brutal attack on the outskirts of Belfast, a 23-year-old Roman Catholic man was crucified on a fence. The victim is in stable condition. A source from the Ulster Defence Association claims that the crime was not orchestrated by the UDA but was committed by Protestant loyalists as a reaction to car thefts in Protestant neighborhoods. Excuse me?
Comments
There are as many and as brutal Protestant paras in Northern Ireland as there are Catholic ones. The IRA may get the vast bulk of publicity in North America, but extremists on both sides have demonstrated over and over again that they endorse violence, killing, weapons and all the other good stuff that keeps Northern Ireland from even having a modicum of self-government.
