    I would have thought that the psf leadership or osf leadership would want to play down the comparison between the ruc/psni considering the inevitability of them joining the policing board.
    "still , got to give it to the people of monaghan, they dont take any **** "--constitutionus

    Quote Originally Posted by Ógra B":3inozwsn]Fifteen months after their arrest, two Ógra Shinn Féin activists John McDermot from Strabane and Daniel Turnbull from Omagh have appeared in court charged with obstruction, disorderly behaviour and resisting arrest.
    At the time of their arrest in September 2004 Sinn Féin in Omagh accused the PSNI of heavy handed tactics after a number of protestors were beaten with batons and the two arrested at a peaceful protest against a British Army PR exercise at the Silver Birches Hotel.
    Both men were released after two hours following a protest in which 100 people blocked the main entrance to Omagh PSNI Barracks.
    Turnbull and McDermott appeared at Omagh Court House on Thursday 5 January. In order to coincide with the appearance, Ógra Shinn Fein held a solidarity protest which also aimed to highlight ongoing political harassment by the PSNI. Omagh Town Councillor Martin McColgan, Sean Begley and Barry McElduff MLA attended the protest.
    Ógra Six-County Organiser Barry McColgan said: "The ongoing harassment and intimidation of Ógra activists and young nationalists and republicans across the North and especially here in Tyrone is totally unacceptable. I would call on all the main political parties and right thinking people to condemn this ongoing campaign of politically motivated harassment. We demand an end to this political policing."
    The verdict on the trial of the two Ógra activists will be announced on Wednesday 18 January.

    Good stuff, Ogra B - thanks for keeping us in the loop. Hope they're found guilty and locked up for a while. [/quote:3inozwsn]

    And I hope you're crushed by a bus and then a Monaghan Mushrooms lorry

    I'm becoming increasingly convinced that you're some kind of charicature.

    You seriously think people who were totally committed to peaceful and democratic methods joined Sinn Fein?

    Let me guess: you believe Gerry Adams was never an IRA member? And Martin McGuinness left the IRA in the early 70s?
