Murder of a GAA Chairman

[Dag Dog]

Rasharkin jumps out at me!

Still happens in Kircubbin on the 12th morning I believe.

The local bands from Portavogie, Cloughy etc would get out of their buses and parade around one of the local estates, almost 90% nationalist and then get back on their busses to the main parade wherever.

There used to be a band "from" Portaferry do the same, but they've dwindled away to next to nothing and I don't think any of them are local to Portaferry at all now. All a bit of a sad spectacle at this point.

A slurry spreader should decorate the road before the buses arrive.

Watched this last night, I was born in mid 80s so was quite young when troubles were finishing up thankfully but the show would make you angry with how some of the families where treated.Really inhuman how you could go into someone's home to tell them their husband/father has been shot dead for no other reason than his association to a sport and ask why the child is crying.Similar to the loughinisland case where the police were clearly involved in collision.

Watched it last night on Youtube in the states myself. Wife was bawling at the end - couldn't understand how, where, why this would happen. As brokencrossbar states, we lived through and endured some wild f**king times. Barbaric stuff. No rest for Bridie Brown.

Didn't know it was on youtube, must watch it tonight. I always watch these by myself.
