The Executions - 100 years ago today

[Dalton23]

I have no interest in who you are, or any of your pathetic trolling, which seems to be becoming rather obsessive, with all your different usernames.

I must give Emma a nudge in a while and get her to login and thank a few posts. She is getting very lazy.

That is very remiss of me, and I do appreciate you bringing it to my attention.


Btw, as a 'new' member, you seem to be very well informed about my posting habits.
Which previously banned member are you..................actually, it doesn't matter. I don't really care.

But thanks for the heads up on the Emma omission. She would have killed me.

Aye right
Obsessive, Coming from the guy who mentions Emma in every post he makes.

The rebels were just a bunch of romantic nationalistic religious nuts.

I prefer to remember those innocent kids murdered by these Irish 'heroes'

Well said.

The British didn' t hold back on the bombardment though, did they.
Maybe they could've invented the term '' collateral damage' back then.

Well said.

The view from the North?

Selective highlighting, typical MNG, and I think you were the one that first mentioned Emma on this thread. Go figure!!!

Just in case you're missing Emma because of my failed link, here they are again

There were plenty of innocent kids & adults murdered by the 'Great' British Army long before the 1916 Rising.
The reason Pearse surrendered was to stop any further deaths of civilians, including children.

John MacBride: Born in Mayo in 1865. Although he initially trained as a doctor, MacBride abandoned that profession in favour of work with a chemist. He travelled to America in 1896 to further the aims of the I. R. B., thereafter travelling to South Africa where he raised the Irish Transvaal Brigade during the Second Boer War. MacBride married the Irish nationalist Maude Gonne in 1903. He was not a member of the Irish Volunteers, but upon the beginning of the Rising he offered his services to Thomas MacDonagh, and was at Jacob’s biscuit factory when that post was surrendered on Sunday, 30 April 1916. He was executed on 5 May 1916.

If the executions had not taken place then Irish history probably would have been different.
A lot less violent and possibly the issues could have been settled peacably.

Issues settled peacefully? Like they have been in the north?
I don't get some people saying the saying the revolution was wrong and how England would have just gave you up. It is fucking ridiculous.

So you are not condoning the innocent kids and civilians killed. Good to know

"The civilians who died during the Rising came from a cross-section of society, from the wealthy to the poor, from the very young to the very old with the youngest recorded being 22 months, the oldest 82 years old. "
