If these people ever set foot in Ireland, they will go to jail for a long time and not in a Swedish holiday jail.
Fighting for democracy and capitalism is not the same as fighting for communism and sharia.
what a nice set
If Sein Fein were to send a direct cheque to FARC no PFLP they would be in real trouble. Sein Fein get around this by having there idiotic minions rob a shop or bank instead and send the cash by courier who quite often is a weapons expert there to exchange knowledge.
I have seen an exchange between a columbian women whose father was torturd to death by FARC and someone from Dublin (Sein Fein supporter) idiotic to try to defend FARC, at in the bibliotek in SFI.
Another reason I like SFI:)
I was impressed by how she kneed him in the nuts.
In the Republic of Ireland if you try to raise money for FARC, the Gardai will very quickly turn up and rightly so.
Before you assume I am from one side or another in Ireland. I hate both vehmently. I have been to a few funerals and watched people I was at school with, go to jail one by one as there masters manipulated them. Also my parents are a mixed religeon marriage and so I well versed on both sides on the ground.
I was at nightclass with one of the idiots who went out to train with them. He was and still is an imbecile. He is a waste of genetic matieral and I could not imagine him using a gun without shooting himself or someone on his side. I dread to think what he would do with explosives if someone was stupid enough to let him near them.
Can you imagine Sein Fein actually giving someone money. I think not. That would be equivalent to the catholic church or free prebyterian church actually paying fines for raping children left, right and center without complaining about it. It is a physical impossibility. They would pocket it. No Irish politician would even have a nightmare about parting with money, let alone collect it for someone else and give it to them. They would not even understand the concept of giving someone money. It just would not compute.
Have you ever been bought a round of drink by anyone involved in Irish politics. I have had to deal with those annoying little gits a lot through work and have never seen them pay for anything. Irish politicians are parasites, all of them, north and south, without exception.
Sein Fein are probably ripping them of. If they are not, it would make headlines in Ireland for the next decade that a political act on the entire island of Ireland was not entirely self serving. Actually no one would believe it. A psychiatrist in Ireland would probably section someone for even considering that possibility.
As a matter of interest, is that the Sein Fein shop in Dublin, Belfast or where that you are talking about?
I'm Colombia. I will say it is not about money they do not really need it because the FARC has a lot. They are the biggest drug cartel in the country among other unethical and illegal business they have today such as kidnapping or extortion.
Guys, it is just about a moral support to criminal behavior. Many people are not well informed and they think they are angels because they are "revolutioners" but it is just the cover to cheat to society.
Just remember, killings don not have justification at all !
2nd May 2002 a church in Choco, Columbia was blown up using an IRA bomb..199 dead..
I remember seeing on the news those arrested for training people.
Could you do me a favour and post the link to the bombing. i did not know they had actually carried out bombings out there?
I knew they would be up to a lot, but did not realise it had gone that far.
I do not understand how anyone could be stupid enough to spread the insanity i grew up amidst anywhere else. There is always one insane enough.
lol
"If these people ever set foot in Ireland, they will go to jail for a long time and not in a Swedish holiday jail."
Apparently some Irish- Israel were busy with some terrorist operation in Dubai and they haven't been treated as you mentioned!!
