[lagmoredude1]

you all forgot yourselves, u all turned your backs on the Dark, when he started to speak the truth you called him a lieyer, he wasnt even a loud to drink in the very area he protected, no off you could tie the laces of this great man, Englan has bought all of u again, Divide and Conquer. darky will be remembered by his true comrades.

[lagmoredude1]

yea u r right paddy not many men in area at that time , but sticks held well off lower falls during curfew, one name you never hear a mention off oul da ward?/ ring a bell paddy??

[lagmoredude1]

dominic o neill now a tout for british , put out of west belfast. shame on you

[TerrySleeper]

Of all the vids about Ireland during the late 60s / early 70s on YouTube, this is the best that I have seen (so far).

It is impossible to regard the men speaking in this vid as nutters / mindless thugs / murderers, etc.

A community under attack fought back.

'Nuff said?

[jeflynnenut]

Legends. Send your Queen over! We know our back gardens in Dublin city as well. Up the republic!!!

[zdenekbhoy]

mrpauliedaniels, get your facts correct before dishonouring a true irish republican legend

[russell3330]

A TRUE IRISH HERO

[TheHamnetguy]

@russell3330 A true cowardly bastard..

[papadoc711]

my great grandfather was shot dead standing at his door during the lower falls carefew,He had just woke up and never new the carfew was on,my grandfather ran down the street to get him in the house,And my great grandfather pointed at a british soilder to show my granda he said "look at that jamesy" and right when he said that the soilder shot him,the british soilder later said he was holding a gun,Which he obviously wasn't he was unarmed and never always was

[timryans]

[barryas1978]

Its a well known fact that the provos played a very limited role in the falls curfew battle against the brits. The lower falls where the battle raged was an Official IRA stronghold and it was indeed the Officials who were in the thick of it against the brits. Another airbrushing of history job from provisional sinn fein.

[soneil70]

also, can hughes be as much of an asshole as u say if irish republicanism is dead already as u believe, is it betrayal when the thing you purportedly are betraying has already betrayed you and indeed, the whole country, community etc

[soneil70]

@soneil70 y would i kill myself, thats what loyalists are for, no?

[soneil70]

ha a poet! you seem to be quite against him, were u against him before this book

[soneil70]

ya know, i guess it all comes down to whether you support the "peace process" or its manifestation, if u do than its natural to want to keep the ship tight so to speak, and present a pretty picture, but if u dont ur not gonna shed any tears for gerry, especially since its the truth- u can only knock the truth so much, u know?

[soneil70]

Do u think he is an informer on the level of Jean McConville, whose family gerry looks in the eye time after time and says "oh i have no idea im a peacemaker, what a terrible tragedy?"

[MrPaulieDaniels]

Your whole life you live sneaky

Now you rest eternally, sleepy, you burn when you creep me

Rest where the worms-n-the weak be

R.I.P. Darkie

[ianasone]

@MrPaulieDaniels You need to go see a shrink.... you have issue's

[soneil70]

ya i grant theres a personal element there no doubt, but its bound to be personal once theres betrayal, and the ordinary volunteer certainly got fucked. Darkie probably would have been a better father if instead of going for the cause he went for himself like gerry and co. You dont think he coulda been right with gerry and martin in all this if he wanted?

[soneil70]

Brendan Hughes is no traitor or tout. If all irishmen were like him we woulda been free hundreds of years ago, or at least all dead which is better than being british

[KingBilly12July1690]

I agree now kill yourself!

[soneil70]

they betrayed him first, he was one of if not THE most stand up guy in the ira even his enemies will grant that. Adams and sinn fein fucked everything up and everyone over and they deserve it. Everyone knows they're a bunch of liars. Gets ya far tho, look at gerry now. They settled for what they could've got in 74, only difference is gerry and martin wouldnt have been on top then, as they are now, jerking eachother off in the government they killed thousands of people to destroy.

[MrPaulieDaniels]

Yeah Sure...If a person says something a court proceedings follow that is touting,snitching,Informing...­A fuckin personal vendetta..People were shot by the IRA for less Darkie the dead-beat dad gets a Memorial Garden..Maybe if darkie took care of his son he wouldn't have turned out to be a junkie armed robber sitting in a cell

[ianasone]

@MrPaulieDaniels His son choose to be high on drugs and rob banks. Brendan didn't make him do it now did he? MrKnowitfuckingall!

[annoyingasfcuk]

Explain please how the Falls Rd curfew was a 'full scale assault'?

[kathryn8169]

legend

[ogairbhith]

you said it!!

[MrPaulieDaniels]

Tout...He ratted and you fuckin know it

[kathryn8169]

[sjhannigan1]

It shows you who you can trust,Europe,and US sat there and did nothing.They were left to defend themselves,and they did it well,against a profetional army, and out numberd 20 or maybe 100 to 1.
