There's a father and son duo arrested from the Omagh area. Both heavily linked with the drug scene and come from a unionist background. Regardless of who is guilty, I hope the f#*kers are arrested and the key is thrown away.

when i seen it said four protestants i thought it was a typo.

[Armagh18]

Jesus. Just shows that those clowns claiming to be dissident republicans are nothing but criminal scum.

[Saffrongael]

I thought certain posters had ruled out an organised crime group ?

So it wasn't the new ira and that statement they put out was false? Not the drug gangs from Dublin either?

But sure trivialise the attempted murder of a man helping to coach kids while his son watched him being gunned down

[TyroneOnlooker]

Really weird and shows you the state of these organisations. While nothing can surprise you anymore, you'd have to assume the gunmen were 'new Ira' with the Protestants lifted good old fashioned criminals who've maybe assisted with the car weapons etc? Who knows. Throw the lot in jail and throw away the key.

[Saffrongael]

I did read something the other day that when New IRA admits to a crime it contacts the Irish News, not tape a note to a lamppost

[Eire90]

Sure could anyone not seletope a bit of paper to a wall  the media still not questioning that going on like its 100 percent genuine.

[imtommygunn]

The plot thickens... one of those arrested did time during the troubles for Uvf related activity. (Patricia Devlin on Twitter).

What the hell is going on here?

[Jeepers Creepers]

Story is growing legs. One of those arrested is/was in the UVF.

You're very sensitive about this one MR. I don't think anyone is trivialising anything. More a case that you're determined to shut the door on this being a more complex case than loony republicans being loony republicans.
