By all rights it should be Justin postin' this one. Ran across a link on an unnamed site, and had to share.

The unarmed Gibraltar three. Victims of the British shoot to kill policy. Lest we forget the other volunteers Sean Savage, and Dan McCann.

I've visited all of their graves in Milltown Cemetary, Belfast. They are laid to rest in the Republican plot along with Bobby Sands and many others.

Do you know about what occurred at the funeral service for these three? Search for loyalist lunatic Michael Stone and you'll find the video of him entering the cemetary with British issued weapons given to him by the RUC to kill Gerry and Martin. He also tosses some granades into the mourning crowd just for good measure.

It's such a long story that I could go on for hours. You've open pandoras box!

Great post by the way.

The Milltown Massacre. Of course. I've been hardcore Fenian off and on since the mid-'80's. Just settled down a bit in my old age.

That'a bhoy! I had a feeling you knew about the Milltown incident. It's a very sad place to visit. Have you ever read the coroners inquest for the Gibralter three? It's a good read.

I found it on Worldcat. I have a copy if you're interested.

Sounds good. Ship it over. Tanx and bombs.

I will see if I can locate it at home, and scan it. I believe it's available from the NIO.

Actually, I found a more legible breakdown here: http://www.rcgfrfi.easynet.co.uk/larkin_pubs/older/motr/motr_all.htm

But thanks for the offer.

Right on. It's a pretty damning document for the British if you ask me. Being 4 feet away and unable to arrest someone? Rubbish...
