    Attacks on Orange Halls

    BBC NEWS | UK | Northern Ireland | Vandals target two Orange halls

    More attacks on orange halls in what is becoming a well known village for sectarianism. According to reports, Catholics in Rasharkin are seeking to remove Protestants from that area. This is very six counties and something that would not happen in the 26 counties. It shows a mindset of separateness that is apparently all too prevalent up there.

    sorry to be blunt but will you ever shut up with your "up there" garbage.

    I used think you were well intentioned if a little slow but I am reevaluating the "well intenioned" part,

    You are a pi55-take. 'According to reports' wtf? Any idea about the geographical location of Rasharkin?

    Happy to condemn the attacks btw, in case you try to insinuate otherwise, always preferred to see a hall over-grown and unused.

    what im saying is ,

    republicans do not carry this sort of stupid activity out , its people pretending to be fans or supporters or republicans , they are nothing but scum and have no right in ireland

    republicanism is trying to take away sectarianism , and we still have scummy bigots going round throwing paint on orange halls

    But it is not about burning the place down because it is religious in nature. It's about burning it down because it is Protestant in nature.

    A more reasonable stance would be, burn them all down or burn none of them down.

    The oo is a sectarian organisation - of course things like this will happen. It's akin to complaining about premises being used by the KKK being burnt down in black parts of America.
