category national | miscellaneous | news report author Monday February 17, 2003 01:42author by BlackPopeauthor email BlackPope at operamail dot com

If the lustful thoughts of some Irish Army Soldiers are any indication, then that would be a wet-dream-scenario. Proof-positive that Fascism is alive and tax-payer-sponsored on this Island.

Fascist Fantasy Island, a.k.a. Irish Military Online

A thread was opened on the FFI-discussion Board on 13th January 2003 on the question of whether off-duty military should go down to Shannon to "observe" the goings-on there: this has led to some very revealing opinions being published!!

Link: 3 pages, most of foll. excerpts from P.2

Very correct Big Al it should be rapid fire, based on a competion like the falling plates, but with a few 100 rounds
Im getting so pissed with Indy Medis they think my organisation is the Igronent War Morgers. Where in fact it stands for The Irish War Movement.

"Sideshow, why did you open fire with the GPMG killing that crusty ?
- He was taking a piss on government property, and ignored my verbal warning Sir, I dont like Crusties taking the piss "
SHOOT TO KILL

Does anyone agree that this constitutes a public incitement/plot to murder/maim citizens of the State, by Government Forces paid from the Public Purse?

Is there no law against this kind of thing? Will such persons be disciplined/charged for this inflammatory rhetoric?

Would anyone be able to get an official response from the Army and/or Minister of Offence on how the public is to handle this intimidation?

Have these testosterone-junkies been training with the Brits, or just the RUC?

Any Jurists out there interested in taking this case to the next level?


PS: It is to be noted that a (relatively few) posters on that board did oppose this lynch-mob mentality. Not all are so violent AND immature.
