The IRA bomb and murder the innocent, whilst he good guys must obey the rules, but in reality shouldn’t get caught whilst breaking them. There were 2 sides bombing and murdering the innocent and not just the IRA. There was far more to that situation than you seem to know so some research may be helpful for you. Anyone who's "one of the good guys" would presumably NOT be breaking the law and would have nothing to worry about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spilldig Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 19 hours ago, The_DADDY said: An ex-soldier "involved in planning" an SAS ambush in which three IRA men died is appealing against a jail sentence imposed earlier this week. The ex-serviceman was cited to give his account of the June 1991 incident in Coagh, County Tyrone, to an inquest in Northern Ireland. However, he refused, leading to a judge in Edinburgh imposing a six-month jail term on him for contempt of court. Three men, Peter Ryan, Tony Doris and Lawrence McNally, died in the ambush. Earlier this year, a judge at Scotland's Court of Session wrote of how the former serviceman, who can only be identified as 'Soldier F', was "involved in planning the operation". Judge Lady Carmichael also wrote that there was "no dispute" that he was "one of the soldiers on the ground who opened fire". The men who died were intercepted on 3 June 1991 by SAS soldiers as they drove in a stolen car. The special forces detachment suspected the IRA members were going to murder a member of the security forces. All three were shot dead in a hail of gunfire.

Mkapaka Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 Dunno all the details but being a soldier doesn’t make you above the law. If he’s guilty of contempt he’s guilty of contempt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
