Reports of another shooting in Paris

 

[sunnysidedown]

who do you think they'd have shot?

if they were thwarted in their mission, fuck knows.

 

[The Boy]

Is it? Did Martin Doherty have his two year old child with him?

Regardless of if he did, surely the reason we're even talking about him is that what he did was a remarkable act of bravery that many wouldn't have been capable of?

 

[Pickman's model]

if they were thwarted in their mission, fuck knows.

but your assertion is they were kill-crazy cultists, from the tenor of your posts.

 

[8ball]

They would have carried on going after CH, albeit delayed a bit.

i don't know: but i like to think i would have the gumption to think about other people who wouldn't be offered the opportunity to get out in one piece.

Dick. Once adrenaline levels get high enough, making well-considered decisions becomes impossible. You have no idea how you would have reacted in her situation.

pickmans: you can just accept that your post was a bit crass, and then we can move on?

yeh. but it wouldn't have been so easy as security would have been improved.

 

[quiquaquo]

At least one Kosher grocery hostage in Paris according to TV. What a mega fuck up by the police.

buddy, what we do here is read people's posts and then respond rather than look at people's posts: and saying 'you don't know' when they have already said 'i don't know' makes you look a bit thick.

tbh if the woman who gave them the code had had the same backbone as martin doherty, the body count at ch might have been considerably lower.

You are comparing her to a trained up member of a paramilitary terrorist group who was willing to give up his life for his cause to a women with her child just going about her normal everyday business? Yeah seems fair enough to me. What a spineless coward she is.

i'm entirely up for moving on but i don't think everyone else is.

I don't believe human flesh is kosher so I don't see how a hostage can be described as such.

not the words i'd have chosen. but i would have thought there'd have been some small discussion about security at ch: it's not as though no one had ever considered an attack on their offices.

 

[Pickman's model]

what were the first three words of the post to which you took exception?

 

[mod]

ffs. i am not blaming her for it (after all she didn't conjure up the gunmen), i am saying - and i don't think it's a great leap into the unknown - that if she hadn't provided access to the code fewer people would have died.

No you didn't. You said she ought to have been as brave as a member of the IRA protecting his superiors.

He seems to have seen himself as some sort of combatant in a war
She was a woman who had just picked up her toddler from a play group

there's the accepting you said something a bit crass thing that needs attending to before we do that.

er... what was on at the widow scallan's that night in 1994 was a social, not a meeting of the army council

Brave and IRA do not belong in the same sentence

[not-bono-ever]

if these fucks had any style, they would go for a movie style ending for max PR & exposure - more Butch Cassidy that Bonnie & Clyde though

 

[YouSir]

you think i said something crass. i don't agree with you. i am not going to agree with you just because you want me to.

And people aren't just going to ignore you saying something crass and move on just because you want them to.

Swings and roundabouts.

It was in reply something posted by mod
Its not all about you dear boy, others are allowed to speak
