Fair play to the INLA, good to see

[Mellows1922]

I'm curious as to what a show of strength achieves when you are on cessation ? Is it a response to the PSNI show of strength ? Or does it serve another purpose ?

[redflag32]

An important point to remember is that it was the Derry Journal who called it a "show of strenght" not the RSM. Im sure there was a token of defience towards the PSNI in it aswell, but what i see is a gun salute for a dead INLA vol.

It was a fitting tribute to a dead volunteer by his comrades.

well i think that the 4th photo looks like a show of strength but it is a fitting tribute to a fallen volunteer

[redflag32]

Has anyone noticed how the for sale sign has been edited? Is that costello i see? :)

[Nationalrevolutionär]

Isn't it a little dangerous to walk with weapons through a village? O_o

[Sniperatwork81]

all i can say is let the fight go on up the irps

[Sniperatwork81]

i watched it andafter they fired they just walked away and 2 men with aks and 1 with a sub machine gun covered them they lay in wait of the ruc arriving witch they didnt

Thats creepy!

Imagine if that was just coincidence, a raindrop on the lense or something. :icon_lol:

If it is purposeful, its seamus alright. Its weird they put it in though.

[ártybhoy]

Its a bit daft walking the streets with an assault rifle that can go through the front of a house and out the back, the volley over a grave away from people i respect but their putting themselves in harms way aswell the sas could pop out a bush and spray them or a peeler jeep comes and the gear is lost.

well it looks like the vols with the 2 ak47s and the sub machince gun was protecting the men with the hand peices in order to salute vol neil in a safe way for the vol's

It's just a creepy pic.

The For Sale sign has a big chunk missing and behind it is actually a satellite dish on the wall of one of the houses. I can see the resemblence though!

Are you for real? - im a born again theist if that aint purposeful!

Whats the chances like? - 1)the for sale sign had to be ripped 2) it has to be ripped in a certain shape 3)the satelite dish had to be on the house 4)both the dish and where the sign is ripped had to line up exactly 6)it all had to look like Seamus - which it does!!!

1 in a million chance. If its for real, there should be a monument erected and a pilgrimage made each year. LOL

Ah the great provisional who supports the decomissioning of arms has yet more to say on militarism. Seriously mate, get over it, the wars over :icon_lol:

[mickyk200]

I always wondered why they wear forest camo in places like the creggan and the falls.

[Takeshi]

Are they wearing Irish army BDUs?

[Carlos McJackle]

i watched it andafter they fired they just walked away and 2 men with aks and 1 with a sub machine gun covered them they lay in wait of the ruc arriving witch they didnt


probably a wise move on the peelers part

thats costello lookin after his volenteers;)

"Councillor Gallagher, who also chairs the local District Policing Partnership, urged those who carried out the shooting to get involved with mainstream politics.

"I can understand people commemorating the life of Neil McMonagle but I think there are better ways to go about it," he said. "These shows of strength are a thing of the past and I would appeal to the people involved in the organisation responsible to come on board with the political progress and leave this type of thing in the past where it belongs."

This spanner obviously doesn't understand the IRSM's position one bit. To do what this man is suggesting would be to go against everything they believe in. How can you struggle for a Socialist Republic by supporting an Imperialist occupation of the Irish economy? We're not all in it for money Mr. Gallagher. Some of us actually want to build a country/ world worth living in. I wonder how much Mr. Gallagher gets paid for supporting the British state in Ireland on one hand and claiming to be an Irish nationalist on the other hand? Social Democratic and Labour Party - it's just a name.

[tom42191]

I see alot of these pics of Vol. from various groups firing volleys at graves and memorials. Is this common place? Are the PSNI not very bright? I would think that it would be fairly easy to predict these practices, birthdays, anniversary's of fallen Vol.,etc. All in all I do love the fact that they do pay their respect to fallen comrades, keep it up guys.

[fergal]

to answer your question... yes the P.S.N.I are stupid.
but provisional sinn fein want us to join them???????????????

[East Tyrone]

What I find really interesting is that most of them aren't wearing gloves and the firing party don't appear to be concerned with forensic avoidance at all. There is no concern on their parts about gunpowder residue or prints on the weapons. You would definitely have to wonder at that.

If you look closer they are all wearing gloves. It's been over a week since this tribute and as far as I know no weapons, uniforms or volunteers were captured in the Derry area.

Therefore it would seem that their security measures are more than adequate and the PSF supported PSNI have not got close to them.

They aren't wearing gloves; unless they're some kind of invisible super-gloves. I wouldn't have expected any gear or irps to be captured and it looks like they were pretty sure of that too.

[fergal]

they could be wearing those surgical gloves that first aiders, nurses and other people in the medical buisness wear. they are very opaque.
maybe these are the "super" gloves your thinking of?
not really a new invention... they've been around for a while.

You can tell if somebody is wearing surgicals; their hands look chalky. From the flesh-tones in the picture it is pretty obvious that a number of the irps aren't wearing gloves; including some of the firing party. The way they are kitted out shows scant regard for forensic avoidance as well. They were very obviously not expecting any attention from the police. You would nearly think that they had an arrangement with somebody.

Yer hole they're wearing gloves. Put up a close up of the hands of the boy firing the short and prove it. He is deffo not wearing gloves; not to mention the fact that they're taking f-all precautions to avoid contamination with residue.

[East Tyrone]

How would you know?

By looking at them ffs.

[Vox Populi]

By claiming this, and in another thread 'obviously someone doesn't know how to clean or count rounds' you're obviously trying to imply something.

[eghzarw]

it took you so long to get to your point, but here we are at last

[jamie9988]

fair play they should join up with the rira and go back to the arms struggle

Yes indeed, he hid aks under his stack of AP/RNs in his UCD dorm room. :eusa_dance:

Now now ET, you're just being mischievous with that type of talk. :whistle: Are you seriously implying that a day or two after the PSF supported PSNI launched their biggest anti-republican operation in years in Derry to prevent this type of activity that they would somehow give a nod and a wink to armed INLA members doing this.

No-one on here believes your rubbish, save it for young, impressionable and niave youngsters at the next PSF education class.

[East Tyrone]

I still don't see any proof that the irps were wearing gloves.

[redflag32]

ET is trolling again, mods?

[tom42191]

East Tyrone

I don't think we can say for certain weather they were wearing gloves or not, but I did spot one of them with what looked to be a pair of black gloves so I would think the others would follow suit.(First photo middle shooter)

[derryirp]

:thumbsdown:

[East Tyrone]

If you want to report a post click on the wee red exclamation-mark yoke. I made an observation in regard to the photos and nobody could make a satisfactory answer. Some made provocative answers but nobody could disprove my observation that a number of the irps, including firing party members, weren't wearing gloves. There was no "trolling" involved.

[derryirp]

A "satisfactory" answer. WTF! You're asking for the impossible. Noone on here was there, or would admit to being there, apart from sniper81 who hasn't commented on your "concerns", the only pictures available are from the Derry Journal and these at best are not very clear.

Noone can give you the information you require, although why you require such information is beyond me. But I'll go back to my original point, not one weapon or volunteer was lost as a result of the tribute.

[redflag32]

"You would nearly think that they had an arrangement with somebody."- You are trying to stir trouble AGAIN.
