Scorpio Man Doesn't Call

Another wasted life

Another life has been wasted. On Saturday, a bomb that exploded under his car, killed 25-year-old policeman. Ronan Kerr in uniform walked literally a few weeks, in May last year volunteered for training in late December he completed the course. He went home, got in his car to go on an afternoon shift. When he wanted to move, load exploded.

had for 25 years. He studied at the Ulster Jordanstown University. He had two brothers, a sister. Father died three years ago from cancer. He played Gaelic football. "Blame" that he went to the police. By the way, for young people feel the police starting to be the only sensible way of a career with a rather poor situation on the labor market. We do not know what motives guided Ronan, when reported to the ministry. His grandfather
- inhabitant of heavily Republican (it mildly) Andersonstown in west Belfast - questioned today by the BBC says that the decision of a grandson to join the police surprised him - he seemed are aware, which may threaten a police officer in the North of Ireland, but the grandson wanted to do it and was convinced that nothing bad it did not meet ...

Now his family in a moving statement, requests that the death did not go to Ronan marne.By Catholics not resigned from the police service for the common good of society. Politicians from all factions condemn the perpetrators of Saturday's bombing. And on Monday afternoon in north Belfast, under the car near the police station, they found a suspicious package. Engineers working on the site.

object which may be another explosive, were found at Tennent Street in north Belfast. Nearby homes and businesses were evacuated, nearby police work without changes. Not yet known whether the object is actually found part of another attack on the police.

In Omagh takes the wide-ranging investigation, which is to clarify the circumstances of the terrorist attack which killed a young Catholic policeman. No one has yet confessed to planting the bomb, the police did not disclose too much information about the progress of the investigation. It is known that the cargo could be placed under the car for a long time - Kerr did not use the car for the last 48 hours before his death. Officers call for any, even minor or residual information that could guide the trace of the perpetrators.

showed how the police could look like a bomb, which killed Kerr. A load of half a kilogram was placed in something resembling a box lunch. The bomb had a fuse that runs under the influence of the movement.

Kerr was killed just days after this, when Secretary of State for Northern Ireland announced the completion of the procedure from 1950 to 1950, assuming that the Northern Irish police officers are recruited in the same number of candidates coming from Protestant circles, as well as Catholic.

problem of policing in Northern Ireland is very deep and complex. Many residents still remember the Royal Ulster Constabulary. In the years of conflict has been repeatedly accused RUC - primarily by the national environment - Republican - for unilateral action, a violation of human rights, violence against the Catholic community. Many cases went up to the Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg. The shrouded notorious "detention centers" - places internments not only the responsibility of people caught the terrorist, but also loosely suspected of such acts - "developed" specific - to put it mildly brutal and inhumane - the interrogation techniques used after more than two decades against the Muslim detainees accused of links with al-Qaeda.

Medal, and was obviously the other side - all the time Troubles RUC officers were the number one target for the IRA. They were killed during the conflict more than three hundred injured in the attacks were over nine thousand.

Friday Agreement which ended the conflict, had opened the way for a 'normal' police force. RUC renamed Police Service of Northern Ireland, created the office of Police Ombudsman - an independent auditor of complaints flowing to law enforcement activities. Began looking for recruits in the Catholic community - that draft 50-50.

For over a decade - despite many threats, assassination attempts and is still unresolved by the end of the problem of lack of confidence in the police - many Catholics consider the police as "a foreign ministry, while Protestants, after the change in the RUC PSNI not quite trust formation, in which" suddenly "appeared Catholics - there was no for the worst.

Happiness ended two years ago. In March 2009, after the attack on a military base in Antrim, which killed two soldiers, was shot in Craigavon \u200b\u200bconstable Stephen Carroll. Catholic. In January 2010, the cargo exploded under the car Paedara Heffron, a policeman from Randalstown. Male - Catholic, was involved in the local Gaelic football club, speaking fluently in Irish survived, but lost his legs. In April 2010, before the Newtownhamilton police station in the car explodes trap. Fortunately nobody was hurt. Major events such There were at least a dozen, and only perhaps the most incorrigible optimists would not let myself think about the fact that the tragedy in the end must be.

so far - to Monday noon - there is no information about the attack that claimed any of the republican extremist groups. The game may include a grouping calling itself the continuation of the IRA, or radicals from the ONH, "struggling" with a socialist democratic republic of Ireland. For all of them Irish - Catholics - who join the ranks of the police, they are traitors, "serving London for. "

local media commentators stress that the aim of terrorists is to provoke a sense of permanent danger and torpedoing the process of creating standard structures of political, state police in a country that has not really gotten used to "ordinary" democracy. Even worth mentioning that the term was completed in Stormoncie Legislative Assembly was the first complete and continuous term of the local parliament for more than thirty years! Many political disputes and problems caused the transfer of shares from London to Belfast, the center of power the police and judiciary. The fear but no one says, but everyone is talking about anger. Particularly strongly worded statements such politicians with paragraph Sinn Fein, the party linked to through the years with the Irish Republican Army, which today's leaders in times of conflict, righteous leadership roles in the IRA in those years, the police probably also treated as "qualified purpose".

Today, Gerry Adams says that people who have worked with throughout his life and he, seething with anger at what happened. He says that the perpetrators of the assassination have absolutely no social support. Premier (with Unionist DUP) Peter Robinson and Deputy First Minister (Sinn Fein) Martin McGuinness together suggest, condemning the violence.

May this unity was maintained for long. On the other hand - in May we have the local elections. I would not croak, but any extremes in its way will use Kerr's death. On the wall in the Bogside - Derry area, where in 1971 the British commandos did Bloody Sunday "HEAD" East Tyrone IRA - RUC scum: 1-0! Hahaha. "
less and more radical Unionists have gained yet another example that Republicans woelno not allowed to power at any cost (And in this election, Sinn Fein could be the largest party on the left - the nationalist side is the strongest, SDLP - Republican socjlademokraci rather should not threaten them, even more voices from the środisk poodbierają unionistycznych, but the election is a completely different story, so stop this digression .)

I'm afraid that is unfortunately not the end. And in general, is approaching the matter completely paranoid, you can get to the conclusion that many would be interested in fueling the fire ... Piekielko Replacement fear terrystami fears of economic and social situation, to show the need for "permanent surveillance" for our own good, to show what can happen when it comes to the extremes of power ... There are various scenarios of the alternative. But, for now.
