First they killed two soldiers. Now a policeman is dead and they are rioting again.

What...was peace and tranquility too boring for them? Using garbage cans was too much of a stress?

I have to recycle that old joke from the 80"s.

"Spend St Patrick's Day in Belfast. It's A Real Blast".

Unfortunately,you will always get a bit of bother in those areas when the police move in.

The investigation of the Soldier's deaths was always going to be a liability.

Looking at the video:

It looks like mostly kids. Not good.

From what I could tell, the policeman was Catholic.

huh?

Palestine and Ulster are very different. The great majority of the people of Ulster and ALL of Ireland are completely against violence. The same cannot be said for Palestine.

That's why Ireland is free..and Palestine remains occupied.

Er, NI is actually a part of the UK. Ireland is free, but Lurgan is not in Ireland.

The violence in Ireland goes back hundreds of years, to when it was first conquered. Ireland got it's freedom, except for Northern Ireland. That resulted in many more decades of violence.

No, Ireland is partially free. Six counties remain under occupation.

Not to mention the fact that you're completely wrong. The British didn't agree to the creation of the Free State because the Irish people rejected violence - quite the opposite, in fact.

Ulster hasn't had anything near 'tranquility', even in the last few years of peace.

I like the way you link this article, rather than the thousands of people who attended peace marches last weekend. Take your comments to those crowds, and see how many friends you make.

That depends on what side of the fence you're sitting.

Was peace and tranquility too boring for you, parky76? Using garbage cans was too much of a stress?

The OP belongs along in the garbage can marked "Pointlessly polarizing mindwash".

Ulster seemed pretty peaceful in the summer of 2006. I was there.
