When will militant republicans realise that their time has passed and the people will not tolerate their sectarian murder bids any longer.

Bomb disposal experts have defused a blast bomb which was thrown at the Woodbourne police station on the Stewardstown Road in west Belfast last night.
The device failed to explode after it was thrown over the perimeter fence of the security base at around 11pm. The device was discovered following a warning call to a Belfast newsroom.
The attack follows an recent upsurge in dissident republican activity and threat of further bombings from the anti-agreement Continuity IRA.
On Monday night, the dissident group bombed Enniskillen town hall in Co Fermanagh, causing minor damage to the building and slightly injuring six police officers.
