Gerry Adams arrested

No ones saying it wasnt. Doesnt change the fact that a group of" men" took a mother of ten kids from her home, shot her in the back of the head and dumped her body in a hole in a beach. Who is going to be man enough to put their hand up for that ?

 

Yes, the PM apologised after admitting that crimes were committed, the IRA on the other hand never admit fault, especially in cases such as this.

She was a "Tout", and Captain Nairac was a sexual predator, any excuse to justify cold blooded callous murder, it's always the victims's fault where the IRA are involved.





“There is no evidence information or intelligence of any kind which refers to or emanated from Mrs Jean McConville prior to 2 January 1973. She is not recorded as having been an agent at any time. She was an innocent woman who was abducted and murdered. ”

No one, that's who, better to try and shift the blame with a pack of lies.

 

"Jean was in the bath when the gang came. Four women and eight men pushed past the children and forced her to get out, put her clothes on and leave with them. All were masked except one young woman. She was a member of the local republican family Jean had fallen out with. One of the gang had a gun. Archie, who was 16, said he was going with his mother, but the gang dragged her down to a waiting van and told him to **** off. By the time Helen returned, panicking when she saw all the people out on their balconies, her mother had gone".

 

It could take some time if we're going to go through the list of every victim of the troubles and ask who is going to put their hand up for each one.

 

Did anyone give a **** about this before last week?

 

This.

 

Her 10 kids?

 

If you have a point maybe you could try making it ?

 

And the myriad other heartbreaking, abhorrent, unsolved cases of religious murder and hate which were committed by both sides for 30 years (and on one side actually involved government collusion), why aren't we demanding admissions of guilt by people "man enough" to take responsibility?

No one here gave a toss before Gerry Adams was asked to go in for questioning.

 

I thought it was clear but here goes.
Every victim's family from whatever persuasion deserves the same level of investigation with no exceptions. I don't think that's going to happen, do you?

 

An anagram of Ciaran. Has this missing soldier been located after all these years?

 

That is a reasonable statement Mick, however the blunt fact is that many seek exoneration from this type behaviour by blaming the british state and army , as if they themselves had no control over their own actions. I`m no fan or supporter of the british state - or army - but " british soldiers murdered a lot of people that year " is both apologist and hypocrisy. Kill all the soldiers you want, dont try to justify the extra-judicial - and cowardly - killing of a non-combatant.

 

I don't get your point, this thread was about the arrest and questioning of Gerry Adams in relation to the murder of Jean McConville, so that’s the topic of the thread , the Murder of Jean McConville.

No one is denying that hundreds of horrible acts (or thousands) were committed during the troubles but I think the calculated killing of a mother of 10 is about as low as you can get, and it becomes even worse when people try and defend it by making out that she somehow deserved it.

 

Mick, are you having a laugh? Did you just try and compare Quisling with Jean McConville?

 

Is that the response you would expect and be content with if a member of your family had been killed ?

 

Closest I've been to losing somebody was in the Dublin bombings in 1974, my father just passed moments before. 33 people killed I think, supposedly loyalist bombers with British Army expertise, but who can truly say?
This case has not been pursued because it has not been convenient politically to do so.
At this remove it probably never will be, like hundreds of other tragedies that occurred over the decades of the troubles.
