Two former paratroopers accused of the murder of an Official IRA man in 1972 have been formally acquitted after their trial collapsed.
Joe McCann, 24, was shot in disputed circumstances in Joy Street in the Markets area of Belfast in April 1972.
The court heard he was evading arrest when soldiers opened fire, killing him.
Soldiers A and C, both in their 70s, had pleaded not guilty. The men admitted firing shots but said they had acted lawfully when doing so.
Both soldiers were interviewed by a police legacy unit, the Historical Enquiries Team (HET), in 2010 and it was this evidence that formed a substantial part of the prosecution's case.
Good, should have never have taken place.

I'm assuming your reference to "a tricolour flag of bigotry" is directed at the national flag of Éire?
Would you care to explain the reasoning behind your clear distaste of another country's flag of allegiance? [Post edited 4 May 2021 22:32]

For a second post that’s a cracker. |  |

I think he was referring to the flag the IRA used. A pity it was identical to the Irish one. | |

As a person of Irish descent I can recognise the difference between the sovereign state of the Republic of Ireland and the IRA terrorist scum . That is not bigotry that is recognising the truth. | |

Well, good for you chum.
As a person with Irish blood running through my veins, I take offence to the Irish tricolour being referred too in such a derogatory way.

Well good for you. So you really think it is fine for a terrorist organisation to use the Irish flag to promote violence? | |

I didn't say you did chum.
I think your getting your knickers in a twist over something I posted in response to onebungtoe (or whatever his username is)
Terrorism, whether it be by loyalist or republicans is cowardly, do we agree 👠| | | |

Totally agree that all terrorists are scum.
But you called me a bigot for expressing that opinion. | |

Wiki says .... the Irish Tricolour ....
Presented as a gift in 1848 to Thomas Francis Meagher from a small group of French women sympathetic to the Irish cause,[3] it was intended to symbolise the inclusion and hoped-for union between Roman Catholics (symbolised by the green colour) and Protestants (symbolised by the orange colour). The significance of the colours outlined by Meagher was, "The white in the centre signifies a lasting truce between Orange and Green and I trust that beneath its folds the hands of Irish Protestants and Irish Catholics may be clasped in generous and heroic brotherhood".[1]

Let's be honest shall we.
Had these been two IRA killers freed,there would have been celebrations,interviews with Channel 4,BBC special "innocent IRA men set free-Police cover up",Corbyn asking questions in the house and of course compensation paid. And not forgetting Mike Mansfield,champion of human rights of just about anyone.
These two just seem to have walked away in dignity.
McCan's family need to reflect on the bodies lying all over Ireland -down to their Da.
And my own people supported this piece of filth-still do,even though plenty of our Boys were blown to pieces there.
You ever collected body part Killy?.Stinks mun. | |
