I cant remember where it happen but i believe it was the incident where they set a church on fire in the hope of luring the psni there. Then when the psni stayed back because of a potential threat which turned out to be an ambushed they get slated by the local comunity for not arriving at the scene faster... ill go look for a source now

You'd like to think that, but you'd be surprised. There have been a few incidents in NI with no public or political backing whatsoever and the culprits for those haven't been nabbed.
Differance they havent killed british squadies.
If they think that thye can kill squadies and get away with it theyll try it again, and again.
Theyll find out the local weapon surppliers get info on who they have supplied then go knocking on their door.
Most people dont realise the northern irealnd intel. department has most if not all the people capable of supply weapons.
Also unlike in th 70's and 80's people are more likely to give information to security forces, hell the numbers of irish joining the britihs army has increased over the past 3 years.
No one wants the trouble except a bunch of criminals and kids who think its cool,

I find myself in two minds.
One side of me wants the course of law to take precedence.
The other side wants to see the perpetrators slung in a ditch with a 9mm hole in the back of their head although I know that is profoundly wrong.

The Real IRA has claimed responsibility for a gun attack in Northern Ireland that left two British soldiers dead, a newspaper reporter said.
Suzanne Breen, a reporter with the Irish Sunday Tribune newspaper, said she received a telephone call from a man who made "no apology" for the attack north-west of Belfast which killed two soldiers Saturday night.
The Real IRA, a dissident republican group, was responsible for the massive Omagh bombing in Northern Ireland in 1998 which killed 29 people.
"A man who said he was a representative of the South Antrim Brigade of the Real IRA claimed responsibility for the attack," Ms Breen told BBC television.
"He said that he made no apology for attacking British soldiers in Massereene army base nor the men who were delivering pizza to them who he called collaborators with the British rule in Ireland. He said that more details of the attack would be given over the coming days and he used an authorised codeword".

I'm suprised by Sinn Fein's stance on this and I wholeheartedly agree with it.
It's obvious the majority has moved on, but there are always gonna be a few people who are one card short of the full deck.

Utter scum.
great so when are these retards gonna target a street full of civilians and claim its the police and armed forces fault for not emptying a town?
why didnt we arrest all of these guys when we had the chance?
Edit: Targeting civillians is the only thing the RIRA do, their a bunch of cowardly inbred idiots, that jsut want to restart the troubles so they can be the big men, dealing drug and prostuites. Thye dont care about irelands freedom they only care about making money, bet their behind the bank robberies as well.
How the hell is a pizza delivery guy a valid target? its as bad as pira targeting bus boys these guys need to be taken to the countryside and shot.

Why did they call a paper in Dublin?

Second that, Adams seems to be being very cautious but McGuinness' outspokeness is pretty refreshing.
In saying that if the group hit the civilians as well then it probably won't make a bit of difference: they clearly don't care about public perception anyway.
EDIT: skippi, they contacted a member of staff that was in Belfast. They probably think they're doing them a favour by drawing attention to them. *rolls eyes*

thier not big at all at the hieght of pira campeign they had 35 asu, which gave them a max 140 people out of the whole of ireland, thats why they lasted so long (till sas got involved) cos they could blend in.
donst matter what they think f the public, its what the public think of them, the public used to like the ira hence hide weapons and shooters, mainly cos they claimed never to target civilians, but if you say your targeting them on purpose your gonna lose the hiding place and the witnesses to confuse the security forces.
That was then though. Who's to say their numbers have not grown behind closed doors? Besides, arrest and punishment may well have led others to join the cause who were close to those caught. We can't say for certain how things have happened behind the scenes, all we know now is that the Real IRA have claimed responsibility for an attack that does little to help the peace process.
I think a lot of the troubles/opinions is all passed down through the generations, and not really as applicable anymore.
The vast majority couldnt care less, although they will still vote/side with what their parents did.
e.g. (without this getting personal) - I'd imagine Scuzi would be in favour of a united ireland, and would is a nationalist. Although, he works in England. So he musnt hate the british too much.
Likewise im personally from a prodestant/unionist family. I have applied for jobs in the south, and would love Dublin. Would be there regulary.
Northern Irelands near like a trophy peace. Theres no logic to the arguments really, and no changing of peoples views.

If these dissident groups weren't so dangerous I'd laugh at their complete lack of forethought and mental capacity, how they think they're going to further their aims with a handful of violent nutcases and no public support beggars belief.
