Well
it was inevitable, wasn't it? If Omagh can have
one, why not the McCartneys too? What am I referring
to? That auld Salem legacy, the witch hunt of course.
And all funded by the EU...but only if the PSNI
fail in their investigation. Waaoooow!
And
just like Omagh, if you are of a republican nature,
you are guilty until proven guilty...don't let the
lack of, or more precisely, the non-existence, of
evidence stand in the way. The PSNI will help you
out there by either re-inventing it or, even better,
call in experts to prove that they, the PSNI, haven't
a hope in hell of proving who done it. Oops, sorry;
the experts were brought in to prove that the PSNI
were quite correct in their belief of who was responsible,
even before the bomb went off.
Just
take the word of your honourable community "bobby",
the same "bobby" who has inflicted state
Unionist terror on you and your community since
day one. The same "bobby" who has informed
the McCartneys that their lives and property are
in danger from "criminal elements," who
the media have broadly interpreted as the representatives
of the republican movement.
Justice
isn't the sole possession of the injured party.
The accused also have a right to justice and are,
not presumed, they are innocent until proven
guilty and have the right by their very existence
to a fair trial. Like Omagh, will we hear calls
for the accused to be denied legal aid in their
right to representation in court?...This so called
civil case (witch hunt) that in truth was cleverly
orchestrated by the British state, shares not the
interests of the McCartney family in bringing to
justice those who murdered Robert McCartney but
its sole purpose of support by the British is to
undermine republicanism in these 6 counties.
Civil
actions of this nature tend to pander to the public's
emotions and quite often as these actions are funded
by the public they, the public, want a return on
their money. And so, even under the circumstances
where a "police force" which is acceptable
by the whole of the community, and where these forces
of law and order have not failed (if there is no
evidence then there is no evidence) but simply are
unable to bring to court the perpetrators of a crime,
justice cannot be served by the hounding of those
same perpetrators who have been identified and associated
with the crime through other means such as media
reports; and neither based on evidence that the
police felt was not strong enough to convict them
with in the first place. This would only leave the
doors wide open to miscarriages of justice and undermine
the validity of any proceeding. A scoundrel is a
scoundrel, but not guilty of all crimes whispered
alongside their reputation.
If
the civil action fails can those, the accused, return
the favour on the McCartneys? And how much money
will be awarded to them from the EU to fight their
case for compensation?
Can
justice only be seen to be done when a person(s)
is publicly vilified at whatever cost?
