Na I'm saying walk if you want but expect repercussions if you have previous* with the locals. *previous - terrorising and murdering their friends and family
Is that a bit like "Don't wear a short skirt and revealing clothes if you are a young woman, and you don't want to be raped"? Sounds like it.
No, it's more like don't murder and terrorise a group of people and then expect no repercussions when walking your child through those group of people.
So you are saying that their children are legitimate targets? Sins of the fathers and all that. What a tolerant bunch you are.
Did I say they were legitimate targets? No. I'm saying the parents should have known better. There was another route to the school that bypassed all the hate and abuse.
I have to say I wouldn't have walked my kids where there was trouble or even the potential for trouble and/or abuse. Even if I thought there was a point to be made that I should be able to walk where I want I just wouldn't expose my kids to it.
Who needs a Republican propaganda machine when you've got Loyalists like Medro. please log in to view this image
You obviously didn't. Exactly. There was an alternative route but the parents vowed not to let the screaming mob win. Which in turn questions their parental abilities. Common sense, take your kids through a corridor of hate or use the alternative route. The same for orange marches only the big difference is those men are doing it out of their own free will. Then again the Holy cross dispute was walking through a loyalist area, the Ardoyne march is walking past the outskirts of the area. People have to walk to the shops to see this march.
You do realise that the whole world sees you as mental, blaming the parents on bringing their kids to school - rather than blaming the people throwing the nail bombs at the children? I know you feel justified in your head about all this - but you still look mental, to everyone.
What is the LOL's main argument when they want to parade through Republican areas? That they should be free to walk the Queen's highways. Is this a right reserved just for them or does it apply to everyone, children going to School included?
I don't see it that way. By all means let all the bampots have at each other for whatever reason - but I don't think the kids should have been exposed to it. I wouldny have my own kids exposed to it and scared by it for any reason ever. Also, I hope I never meet any of my kids.
I'm not blaming the parents entirely, I'm blaming both sides but they could have taken their kids an alternative route to bypass all those people giving them abuse and they didn't. They felt they shouldn't have to, much like the OO feel they shouldn't be heckled out of areas either. As I have said before the Ardoyne march does go through a republican area but past the ouskirts of it. People have to come to the Ardoyne shop to see it. As I pointed out the girl in the BBC programme the other night told of how the march went past her house and how she had to cover the windows incase a brick went through. Some smart cookie did a little bit of research and pointed out that she lives nowhere near the march route. She also said that the 12th meant nothing to her, but a day of violence. Meant nothing to her yet she was up at 8am on a Sat urday morning to go down to the Ardoyne shops for the protest against the march.
