Forget not the Boys of Kilmichael......

[Tommy L]

Yeah they had their own kangaroo courts where a lot of innocent people were deemed "informers" and shot dead.

Bunch of cowardly guerrilla terrorist cunts all that lot imo.

Look thats strong language, it was the British who turned these people into killers in effect because of their foreign policys, I wouldn't demonize a young fella who decided to pick up a gun having seen an atrocity carried out by the British.

I'm just saying I'm not one for triumphalism of any kind, what happened happened people were always going to join in the fight.

I don't think because it was the so called "old" ira that they should be treated diffrently to the provisional ira, they were guilty as has been pointed out of some very bad stuff aside from the actual military battles against the British.

I don't see myself doing anything next year in honor of the easter rising, if people want to then fair enough but dont shove it in my face.

Who made shit of the black & tans 95 years ago today.
Regardless what side you come from, it can't be denied that this was a pivitol turning point in the War of Independence. Fire fought with fire.

Get your facts right---No black and tans were killed--- ADRIC-- Auxillary RIC were killed--Commonly called the Auxies

Wasn't Crossbarry a bigger ambush ?.

Says yer man who tried to put a rumour that the husband of the murdered woman on the Northside might be a suspect in her death.
Ya fucking gimp.

In numbers yes but kilmichael sent a message to the british thar they were not invincible.

 

[Iomanaíocht]

you'd tell the lads he's a british informer and he'd be kilt.

Yeah the humiliation of wearing a kilt was as good as murdering them.

 

[Apollo Creed]

Those the guys under Tom Barry that massacred and mutilated a bunch of young Englishmen who tried to surrender?

Tom Barry and his crew were the Isis of their day. Liked to capture combatants and torture them for propaganda purposes.
Terrorist guerrillas (or "freedom fighters" as some would have it)

Yeah they had their own kangaroo courts where a lot of innocent people were deemed "informers" and shot dead.
it was just like the Salem Witch trials. If you didn't like someone you'd tell the lads he's a british informer and he'd be kilt.

Bunch of cowardly guerrilla terrorist cunts all that lot imo.

Any evidence of this besides the Hart book where he never named his supposed witnesses?

 

[Dr. Aaoouh]

Lads, why are you still fighting this war? Everyone's dead, no one got what they wanted, and everyone who actually fought the war would probably be astonished and delighted at what Ireland looks like today.

 

[Apollo Creed]

Not a bit, Apollo.
Lol

Not a barstooler by any stretch and some like to romanticise the role of the IRA in the war of Independence but that guy Hart was a complete bullshit artist.

Would they? We've got multi-national companies here, everyone doing their bit of Black Friday pre Xmas shopping as well as record numbers of people sleeping on the streets of Cork, bit of a mixed bag tbf.
