Bobby Sands was imprisoned for posession of handguns, incitement to murder, and terrorism.
ReplyDeleteBoth he and Gerry Adams believed in murder, assassination and indiscriminate bombings.
I, most certainly, do not shed a tear for him.
The fact that he was imprisoned was a result of his own chosen actions. His death likewise. Unlike the countless others who died at the hands of his murdering colleagues.
