Tommy are you only realising this now? they never say anything..infact they welcome it... but if a member of the security forces dropped a gun on the ground as they where getting out of a landrover there would be calls for an inquiry , thats why the everyday normal Protestant in this part of the UK will never trust them or even listen to their bleeting ... they want investigations into anything connected with Britain or the crown...but if a question is asked about their past-deeds then its harassment and should be nipped in the bud , utter hypocrites..and everyone see them as such.

This bears all the hallmarks of another para-military punishment, Which is all too common in N Ireland Interesting, is the fact that there is no condemnation from our readers concerning this shooting Think of the hue and cry, if this was carried out randomly by the members of the security forces
