Biblical Justice or Terrorism?

BBC_ImmageMr McCartney, a 33-year-old father of two, was stabbed near Belfast city center on 30 January following a row in a bar. [Pictured right if the BBC still has it up.]
...
On Tuesday, the IRA said it had offered to shoot the people it says killed the 33-year-old after a row in a city center bar. His family has rejected the offer.
Hugh Orde said he had "no doubt" the IRA meant they would kill the men.

This story falls far short of telling the whole story. Here is my take on what has been in the news lately.
* A guy walks into a bar somewhere in Ireland.
* A fight ["row" in the UK] starts, as fights do in bars.
* A group of men allegedly kill the man in front of a bunch of witnesses.
* It turns out the group of men are allegedly members of the IRA.
* Additional members of the IRA allegedly showed up and used their knowledge of being alleged terrorists to allegedly destroy evidence and allegedly shut the witnesses up.
* The IRA offers to "shoot" the men involved, and now some people are turning themselves in to the police.
* Sinn Fein says "Wholly Christ" and finally tries to distance itself from the IRA.
That picture appears to be taken from a video. Man, that is a wholesome photo. Look in the background. Those are the beautiful rolling hills of Ireland. That backdrop looks straight off a movie set. That kid is going to grow up to look just like is daddy, you think?
I think every member of government in the UK is shaking their head and coming to the conclusion that something has to be done about the IRA. It is all over the BBC. Blare condemned it during the weekly Prim Minister's Questions meeting.
