Public Shocked as Something Happens at Stormont
It took a heads-up (from someone calling themselves Dr A) yesterday to alert me to the escapades of one Michael Stone (of Milltown Cemetary fame) at Stormont yesterday. After attempting to spray paint "Sinn Fein Are Murderers" on the Stormont building, he threw a bag inside and claimed there was a bomb in it.
He was, of course, arrested and appeared in court this morning charged with attempting to murder Sinn Fein's Gerry Adams and Martin McGuinness, as well as 2 Stormont security guards and one other person. He's been remanded in custody until 22nd December.
I have to say though, callous as it may sound, one of my first reactions to the story was "Would Northern Ireland really be any worse off with 102 less politicians?"
Anyway, while I was looking into this story I was also glad to note a 22 year-old man has been arrested over the firebomb attack on Homebase (bastion of British imperialist oppression in Ireland) on the Boucher Road at the start of the month. I hope the twit thinks his courageous blow for Irish freedom was worth it when he's too afraid to bend over and pick up the soap in the shower, lest the big, built, bald guy behind him can't control his urges.
