Murder of a GAA Chairman

[93-DY-SAM]

I knew a lot of the story but what got me was the State going after the Coroner, a respected senior judge, for revealing to the families the number of state agents involved.

Powerful programme but don't think anything that wasn't already in the public domain came out of it. Still very important for the family to keep this in the headlines and keep the pressure on.

Wasn't only the cameras on the police station in Toome that weren't working that night, some of the 'locals' in Bellaghy also had mysterious malfunctions.

Horrible times.

There may not have been anything new in it to anyone who knew anything about this. But, I bet many people in the South from both GAA and non-GAA backgrounds probably didn't know much about this story, if anything. In particular the level of a dirty war that was being engaged by the Brits against Northern Catholics and the steps they went to to cover this up. Right the way to the top of the British government. But sure then it was all in our heads!

The utmost respect for the Brown family for what they had to endure at that time and in the intervening years since.

For all the blather about "Michelle and Emma" and a bright future for NI, it's 2024 and the British are still trying to suppress the truth.  25 people involved in this murder, most of whom were loyalist touts, RUC and UDR members.

Excellent programme that showed the devastation visited on families during the Troubles.

And one active member of the RIR allegedly..

Is your man Swinger Fulton still alive?

He is dead over 20 years ago. Rotting in hell.

He "hung himself" in prison

It always seems to be the one with the most to tell commit "suicide" .

Does make you wonder.

Like David Kelly and Epstein.

Is Michelle O'Neill entitled to see the un-redacted versions of those reports?
As head of state, i'd imagine she is?

It's been clear for a long time that this is just another case of state collusion/involvement in loyalist murders of innocent catholics.
I remember this murder vividly - it spread fear across the GAA community in particular.

I doubt she would be able to see it.

This story is really like the one about the Stardust

This story is really like the one about the Stardust

Certainly a tragedy with an attempted coverup, but collusion in the North went much further than that.

British State forces actively provided Loyalists with the intel, support and equipment to carry these murders out and then did everything to prevent a proper investigation then and indeed ever since.

They also allowed stakeknife (as their agent) to torture and kill plenty, crazy place and how that system was continually allowed to operate was unbelievable

If someone made a film about it, it would go straight into the fiction department

Shinners just as motivated as the British Government to make sure the full truth about Stakeknife never sees the light of day.

Looking back, it's really disturbing the things that went on. The LVF weren't active (militarily) for long but were able to engage almost seamlessly in a sectarian campaign against the Catholic population. Its two senior leaders conveniently topped, one of whom was a suspect in Sean Brown's murder. It's almost as if the LVF were allowed to exist until they outlived their usefulness.

Wise up.
State murder, terrorism and collusion is on the British state and only the British state.
Up the yard with you and your both sidisms.
They got away with it for 80 years because of People like you who refused to place blame where it was due.

[Milltown Row2]

The state totally at fault, recruiting people and allowing them to get away with murder, helping them and supporting them time and time again..

Mad

Can we for once keep a Thread on theme and not turn it into slanging match for political point scoring.

This was a totally innocent man murdered and the fight for his family to receive the truth goes on.
