The young activist did what he could. The OO is like the Ku Klux Klan, and only exists in Ireland because sad fools like you would rather tolerate it than face reality, and the so-called radical left are more concerned with what's happening in the middle-east than dealing with the hatred and colonial mentalities in this country. <br />

All this young lad did was to inflame sectarian tensions and to put a community with a siege mentality feel even more threatened. The reaction of the local community will be to rally around the "butchers apron" and to become even more intransigent.

What i pointed out was not a cheap point scoring but the fact that how can OSF believe it is actively fighting sectarianism when also supporting what is at its roots a sectarian police force. OSF needs to make up its mind. Either it supports the institutions of British occupation or it doesn't. If members who are genuinely anti partition and anti sectarian( and i'm sure there are loads) need to do anything it is to reassess the political stuctures they give allegiance to. The SF leadership are helping to stabilise a statelet based on an orange veto, thus denying Irish people the right to national self determination.OSFhttp://www.indymedia.ie/article/84020#comment2060292007-09-02T10:08:54+00:00cop-onOSF are bound by the GFA as are SF and the other parties.

Is this not the Sinn Fein who back in the eighties made so much noise about "censorship" ?<br />

Seemingly the Shinner position on free speech is and always "everybody has the right to agree with us"<br />

sinn fein's press release from 2 days before OSF member commits sectarian attackhttp://www.indymedia.ie/article/84020#comment2060482007-09-02T14:36:20+00:00Tomás ÓSinn Féin condemns arson attack on Seagoe Orange Hall
Published: 30 August, 200...Sinn Féin condemns arson attack on Seagoe Orange Hall<br />
<br />
Published: 30 August, 2007<br />
<br />
Sinn Féin Representative, Cllr Dessie Ward, in condemning the overnight arson attack on Seagoe Orange Hall said:<br />
<br />
"This is a very sinister development as it is the first time that this Orange Hall has been attacked. I have no hesitation in condemning this attack and do so without reservation. All of us are trying to move on but unfortunately there is a small number of people intent on dragging us backwards. They won't succeed.<br />
<br />
"Sectarianism is a cancer on our society which can best be resolved by unionists engaging with nationalists and republicans on a constructive basis through the political process. This attack may or may not be in response to a number of attacks on the nationalists community in the Portadown area over the past week. Either way it is wrong and will no doubt be condemned by all right thinking people." ENDS<br />

These attacks are going on in areas where Protestants are a minority and, like it or not, the Orange Hall is the local gathering spot for Protestants in the area. The arson attacks, trespasses and ripping down of flags are intolerant and threatening to the Protestant community.

"In a dominately nationalist town it is our right to remove what the majority of people in the town feel is offensive towards them."<br />
<br />
Does this mean that it was okay to discriminate against catholics because they were a minority in the Northern Irish state! <br />
<br />
"If a tri-colour was placed in Sandy Row would it last long?"<br />
<br />
If a union jack was on an orange hall near you, would it last long? <br />
<br />
"And do you think that if i wasnt a member of a political organisation that the police, media, orange order and DUP would be making such a great deal out of the matter?"<br />
<br />
No but you are a member of a political organisation whose adult wing is in government and therefore responsible for maintaining a government with the DUP!
