    PSNI Officer Shot by Loyalist terrorists

    Is it ok to shoot policemen if you are a loyalist terrorist? Is it also then ok for the media and others NOT to kick up a stink and NOT to pressure for loyalism and those most closley associated with it NOT to be kicked out of the NI government and processes realted to it.

    Just a question!

    I don't think it's really very ok to shoot anybody, regardless of who you are.
    How the media would react to such an event isn't something I'm fit to comment on.
    A poster of some consequence...

    Disgraceful the political and media response to it. About the 4th news item.

    Can you imagine if it were republicans??? The whole process would be brought to a stop with Tony Blair brought out of retirement and fighter planes over the Falls!!

    This post is as relevant as Boyzone.

    The more incidents that destroy the "wink wink" relationship the RUC/PSNI and loyalists have, the better. Maybe someday they will treat loyalists with as much vigor they have with republicans if we are lucky

    Glad he survived though.

    Yes, I can imagine if it were republicans. In fact, a few days ago there were pipe bomb type attacks carried out by republicans and the process didn't come to a stop.

    Fighter planes? Are you on drugs? Wise up Dunviller. Get an early night.
