A better place

[Steve97]

Many many years ago i did several active tours of NI and had to deal with the aftermath of a certain mr McGuinness s activities on several occasions.
now that hes dead the world is a better place.
I am aware more than most that you cant win against terrorists, in the end you have to talk to them to gain a peace and stop the killing, however, he should have told of his crimes as gunman, and where the bodys are buried, am sorry for his family's loss, but the world is a better place........just have the wait for the other c..t to die now, coz he was or is worse.

being from N,Ireland and because of my job at present all i can say is, his death will been seen in two very different ways..

as one reporter said this morning, his finger prints was all over the troubles and all over the peace process..

on a lighter note. he was spotted on a storm about two years ago . in fact i walked outa work one evening to find him sitting on mine getting piccys taken ..he just smiled and said. nice bike,

so even he knew YELLOW was the best colour..

The problem here though is that terrorists are on both sides depending on ones perspective as to which side one takes. It's the same now with the modern day bigger version of NI. It takes two to tango and start a fight. If only the human race could all get on together, respect each other and live in peace no matter ones sex, race, colour or beliefs. But war or fighting over territory is one of the oldest things going and has been around since mankind and we never learn from the past or we wouldn't be in the situation we are in now. The one thing we should have learnt by now is not to stick our nose into other peoples business and try to change their views and ways on things to our own ways because neither is right or wrong, just different.

Well given my job I was also dealing with the terrorists in Norrhern Ireland. Transferred to England four years ago and looks like I'm heading back to Northern Ireland in the next few months.

I agree he became a bit if a statesman in his later life. However that does not take away from the many murders his hands are all over. And he is also the inspiration for the idiots who still want to kill police/prison officers and armed forces still in Northern Ireland.

Its actually very strange today hearing of whats happened. as i said my work brought me into contact with him daily up until he got ill..there was two sides to him so each i suppose to there own how they deal with it but a lots in the past..on both sides..

see how diplomatic i was ..

Good ridance...Not many deaths of people in the public eye make you happy...this one did...Really don't care what he's done of late in politics...You can bet he was looking after his 'Mates ' whenever he could...

If I'd found him sitting on my bike I would have told him to fek off in no uncirtain terms...

I met him in 1977. I was extremely young and events in NI had me back very sharpish. I was surprised then that he wasn't taken out along with his mate. He was a cowardly sick person, standing behind others. He was responsible for an awful lots of Deaths in NI. Good Fecking Riddance. I always felt sorry for the Irish people that suffered at his hands, in all religions too. The other one is well overdue dieing too.
