Can't wait! OrangeFest is almost here!!

[Athos]

I grieve that they have done it, I grieve that they have been taught that it is something to do. I grieve for the people they have killed in the mistaken belief that it is a holy act.

However, as you have been called many times for your comments on the boards, I'll leave it at that.

"Called" lol.

And it is literally a holy act.

 

[Sasaferrato]

Yawn.

 

[sleaterkinney]

I don't really have much respect for you as a decent human being then. Only a cunt sees the death of a young man as irrelevant because of their religious view.

He literally died as he was taking part in a sectarian activity.

 

[Humberto]

He literally died as he was taking part in a sectarian activity.

It is/was still just a bonfire though to some.

 

[Sasaferrato]

He literally died as he was taking part in a sectarian activity.

That doesn't make his death any more or less bearable to his family.

 

[Sasaferrato]

It is/was still just a bonfire though to some.

Yep.

 

[Ax^]

aye but tbf he was a window cleaner from the a prod area

not the brain of Briton after watching the jubliee shite over here in the last month or so

its just sad he got roped into a shite cause that lead to his death

 

[likesfish]

Poor stupid sod with such a limited world view the fires are intimidating and sectarian.

 

[Artaxerxes]

Nah

 

[1927]

That doesn't make his death any more or less bearable to his family.

A family that probably hold the same bigoted views.

 

[Humberto]

Nah

Go on...

 

[Ax^]

aye but they now have a dead son to count alongside their views


don't want to defend bigots or racist but won't be wishing any more woe on this family

who should of informed their son better, only up their as he is used to heights

 

[David Clapson]

We may as well play the game of equating this death with someone else's. How about that woman shot in the Capitol riot?

 

[comrade spurski]

I would have no sympathy for their cause, however, the death of a person has a big effect in the lives of others. To say that a death is not worthy of sympathy because of their views is nasty. I'm no fan of Corbyn, but were to die, my thoughts would be with the family and their loss.

People are not Catholics, Republicans or Politicians, they are fathers, mothers, sons daughters, cousins... Frankly anyone who delights in the death of another because of their views needs to have a long hard look at themselves.

1. No one has "delighted" in someone's death in this instance. The person said they "they don't have too much sympathy for the death death of someone involved in sectarianism".

That is a world away from taking "delight".

I had no sympathy for the Yorkshire Ripper, the Krays, any member of the royal family etc. after their deaths.
I'll feel the same when others die.
Can't see the issue tbh.

2. If I were alive in 1945 I would have delighted in and would absolutely have celebrated the deaths of Hitler and Mussolini... not sure, in those instances, that I would need to take a long hard look at myself.

Guessing this is more to do with history than the posts on here

 

[Artaxerxes]

Go on...

No after you, please show me anyone in Norn who thinks the twenty storey tall bonfire draped in Irish flags and Fuck the Pope slogans is just a bonfire. A wee craic for the kiddies.

 

[Humberto]

Yeah I'm not defending it, it's tied in with and funded as far as I can tell from this discussion by sectarians and serious bigots. Just saying it's everywhere in some communities from what I can read on this thread. And goes back so long too, as mentioned earlier.
So people in those communities will get pulled in in different forms. I'll shut up now though.

 

[Ax^]

ah fuck that arsehole she was giving plenty of warning before she was shot after attacking the capitol building
and was expecting more violence and death from her actions


this was a local gobshite who was more than likely asked to help as he had no fear of heights

 

[krtek a houby]

That doesn't make his death any more or less bearable to his family.

Get what you're saying, but lots of hateful/sectarian/ fascist cunts have family. Where do you draw the sympathy line?

 

[likesfish]

I think the poor sods who are not leading the organisation and haven't committed any crimes deserve sympathy those that know better and are in a position to do better not so much.

 

[ouirdeaux]

I find the emphasis on the friends and family puzzling. Would it be OK to take delight in someone's death (not that I'm saying anyone was doing that here, but for the sake of argument) if all his family had died, and nobody was really close enough to him to call him a friend?

 

[Chilli.s]

If I built a huge bonfire like those on a housing estate in hampshire there would be repercussions, If I did it year in year out then eventually id be locked up, even if it was nov 5th

The state and their local community is facilitating this shitty behavior

Yep; blustercunt's latest NI Secretary of State (the one who thought NI was in GB)...

It's alarming to me how close those things are to people's houses. Who's liable when someone's house catches fire due to one of those massive deathtraps spitting an ember out?

Yes

Given the obvious danger in these structures, especially in recent years as they’ve risen higher and higher (in correlation, I believe, to the growing fear from the loyalist side of their hegemony declining), I’m surprised we don’t hear more fatalities of this sort. I often think that when I see pictures and footage of people clambering around on the palet towers during their construction.

There’s absolutely no way I’d get permission to build such a structure in Glasgow. Never mind with the intention of setting light to it. The local authorities therefore are culpable in this young man’s death. This was entirely predictable. It’s entirely possible to have a very nice bonfire without building these teetering towers.

But it's R KKKULTURE!

This. This is the outworkings of Supremacist, triumphalist, racist, sectarianism.

THIS is what they think is acceptable behaviour.

Quinn uncle: I identified the blackened bodies of my nephews

THE uncle of three children killed in a sectarian arson attack carried out during the Drumcree standoff 20 years ago has revealed how he identified the blackened bodies of his young nephews. Richard (10), Mark (9) and Jason Quinn (8) died...

I couldn't care less if another crowd of the stupid, inbred fuckers have a fully-lit one fall on their heads tonight.

There is simply no excuse for this level of a) stupidity and b) complete fuckin cowardice from every level of unionist politicians.

 

[harpo]

But it's R KKKULTURE!

No it isn't.

 

[Raheem]

Whether this sort of death is hilarious or a tragic loss to everything decent is bound to vary according to individual pallets.

 

[Yossarian]

I don't feel any sadder about this guy falling from a bonfire than I would about a KKK member dying in a freak accident after his white robes got caught in an escalator.
