[ElRancholo2]

He sure looked like a poofster with all that makeup on.

you didnt have to be a cowardly gay to be in the amateur joke loyalists groups.. but it helped.

I dont know how anyone can come one here and disrespect this man. I know he done bad things, but so did Republicans. Stoner was once the most feard man in Belfast. He took the fight of the loyalist cause right to the Republicans doorsteps. Not many a man done that

@mogroov I'm sorry but how can you POSSIBLY admire someone for attacking a family at a burial regardless of who they are even attacking Bin Laden's family at his funeral would be horrible? Peaceful Protest should always be more admired than violence I would have thought?

@mogroov i know thy wernt, im not praising the ira i dont support the ira and what they have done, you lot claim to be better than the ira you lot claim that loyalist are breve men of ulster when thy are no better than the ira there cold blodded killers just like them and your coming off with stuff like "brilliant military tactics" the loyalist are also drug dealers they were dealing drugs to young teenagers in their own community and still are there no pride in any of these groups, only evil

[irishboy2k10]

firstly he's not a man,a man has a partner,children raises them to hate no one,educates them and gives them a good life,a man works hard to support his family.micheal stone has not proven he is a man in anyway so why do people look up to him?the film american history x looks deeply into racism and yes anyone that supports the orange order,ira,uda.... is no better than a skinhead white supremicist nazi.

@mogroov its easy for someone to throw grenades at and unarmed funeral and it was unarmed as i said to other people im british i dont support the ira but every one knows the ira are much more better trained and are better carrying out operations than the uda uff etc that is a fact the loyalists arnt strong paramilitaries most of the people they killed were not ligitimate targets that is also a fact

[adambelfast1]

@raders09 read the comment agin it makes sence basically im saying about 3 quarters of the the people that the loyalist killed were not ligitimate targets

[raders09]

@adambelfast1 what the fuck is all that please read that comment you have posted and see if it makes scene the only part that i could understand is / its a two way street mate / ? i see you put legitimate and loyalist a lot yet you have no subject with in the text / more than half even 3 quarters/ of what ? /where targets that the loyalist took out legitimate / who were targets ? / they claim what ? bars ? and more ??????????????????????????????­??????????????????????????????­?
