IRA ADMITS SHOOTING SCHOOLGIRL

The sheer depravity of the IRA is demonstrated in it's reported "apology" for shooting dead a 14 year old girl - Kathleen Feeny - 30 years ago. It was an accident, apparently. Just one of those things.

The IRA claimed at the time that the British Army had been responsible for the teenagers death and consequently murdered a young soldier in "retaliation" for a KILLING that the IRA had in fact committed. Naked depravity.

No sign of an apology to the family of the murdered soldier - presumably the IRA considers such people deserving of the loss of a beloved son. The IRA scum responsible for these deaths should be brought to justice - preferably before they meet their maker.

It makes you wonder how many other lies they've told over the years about who shot who and who shot first.

How many times has this girl's name been trotted out over the years in Londonderry as one of the 'victims' of the British blah,blah,blah...and McGuinness knew the truth all alpng.
Shameful.

"t makes you wonder how many other lies they've told over the years about who shot who and who shot first"

Steve,
It would be easier to count the number of times the Provos have told the truth.

The unfortunate thing is,as was shown by the aftermath of the Northern Bank robbery, there are a substantial number of people who would believe Gerry Adams even if he were to announce that he was the reincarnation of Finn McCool.

Paul,

You're spot on. The IRA has no concept of truth - it lies and then it lies about lying! Sadly some people swallow all these lies proving that you can indeed fool some of the people all of the time.

[Elaib]

But he is the reincarnation of Finn McCool, isn't he?

[Jo]

The IRA appear, historically, to pride themselves on telling the truth and being straight with their supportbase. No doubt the diehard faithful will cite this as proof - "they didnt need to turn around and admit this but being brave and above all honourable men, they chose to do so to contribute to the families closure."

All extremely hollow and in fact this sort of thing, whatever positive effect it has on the relevant family, only irritates the majority who know how much killing did not, by the same token, merit ANY apology. Its particularly glaringly obvious in this instance as an act of retaliation was perpetrated in response to something they in fact did themselves...any irritation that some posters here feel is a minor discomfort compared to the deep hurt felt by those who read this story having lost loved ones at the hands of the same people and know that they will never ever receive an apology.

The next time IRA / Sinn Fein start to whinge and whine about the likes of how the Army or Police are child murderers, then they should be told in no uncertain terms that is in FACT them who are the child murderers. Something the Unionist community have always known.

Also, I see Gerry Kelly and some other IRA supporting creatures where at Hillsborough Castle "protesting" (whineing) at the rearrest and imprisonment of the child murderer Sean Kelly, who killed 9 innocents (including two children) on the Shankill Road in October 1993. What I find most upsetting is how many people have turned out to support this evil man, who, as far as I know, has never apologised or shown any remorse for his actions. I am just wondering if Sean and Gerry Kelly are related.

[Jo]

Alex
I dont believe that they are. His evil act is so recent that he is foremost in public consciousness, but its right that what he did is not forgotten.

[Jo]

Alex, are you the same Alex who posts/moderates on Slugger?:)

Here's a question worth asking -

Some 30 years ago the IRA said

“The people of Derry are aware that we have admitted responsibility for our actions even at times when mistakes were made by us and civilians injured.
“We say categorically that the shooting of young Kathleen Feeney was the work of the British Army and not of the Republican movement.”

Where does this leave Categorical denials from Gerry Adams that he was ever a member and categorical denials that Pat Finucane was a member of the IRA ?

[David Vance]

MR,

Exactly. As I said the last time I was on TV, the IRA lies and Sinn Fein can't recognise the truth.

Murdering any human is condemnation to hell for eternity, in my RC opinion. Murdering a child is yet more heinous, if that is possible. Some people in NI seem to believe murder is not a grave sin, punishable by eternity in hell. Woe to them and woe to us to have such people in our midst. Christian and civil society demands that murder is the gravest of sins and crimes. When some in a society do not recognize that, or incapable of, assenting to that; measures must be taken to deal with them. In the US we have had criminal cases where the charged claimed they did not have a consience; they either go to a psychiatric prision for life, jail for life or have a last meal and sit in the electric chair. It seems to me that many in NI society are too soft on murderers. Consider what a grave sin and a capital crime it is and take appropriate action. Never forget, soft on murder, and you could be the next murder victim.

[Monica-Philadelphia]

New Yorker is right! I say fry 'em. There's no fixing someone who so easily murders innocents - fry 'em.

[Madradin Ruad]

Liam Clarke hits the spot today in the Sunday Times - Martin McGuinness demands full disclosure about Finucane ?
The Feeney killing happened on Martin McGuinness' watch as
a local IRA commander - did he have any part in the cover-up and the fake "retaliatory" killing ? Did I hear Gerry Adams say there is no hierarchy of victimhood ?
Clarke also points out that the IRA used children as cover for their terrorist attacks.

[David Vance]

The disgusting immorality of republicanism writ large. They are truly beneath contempt. McGuinness should be arrested and questioned on the topic raised. What did he know, who did he know, what did he do.

[The Troll]

The absurdity of an Apology.

There is and has been this trend in the last ten to twenty years oh they must apologize or oh my god he never even apologized for killing someone.

The whole issue is stupidity you can not apologize for killing someone (unless its a non-alchohal related accident of some kind)

If you killed someone with a gun, a bomb, strangled them, or pushed them out a window YOU CAN NOT APOLOGIZE. What you need to do is DIE. Simply execute the basterds a bullit in the head is the only form of apology there is.

How does saying your sorry justify or forgive the actions of ANIMALS?

Kill them one by one in western society there are no martyres only dead animals.
