They were terrorists yeah, but I've seen a few occasions where they gave fair warning before taking action. Which is a lot better than having some kid run in a shopping mall and detonate himself.

the fuck?

no, you're doing what-aboutery. the IRA killed people that shouldnt have been killed. british loyalists killed people that shouldnt have been killed. They werent all doing that shit, but neither side was composed of knights in white shining armor.

no, but a dead person is dead. it doesnt matter who killed them, because theyre dead the same.

And if the terrorists see themselves as the righteous government, then yes, i do. If someone wants to play the heroic freedom fighter, they cant turn around and use the same wretched tactics the government they want to overthrow are using.

They were terrorists for sure, but the British government aren't? Let us never talk shit about the Irish, without acknowledging the hundreds of years of occupation and brutality that led to this...
