HOW CAN WE 'KEEP ALIVE THE LIGHT OF JUSTICE WHEN THERE ARE THOSE WHO WOULD
DEMEAN THE PRIVILEGE .. if there was ever a prime example of the biased and out of touch
ruling from the Crown Courts in Northern Ireland, it was one made during the trial of an
unrepentant republican from West Belfast who refused to acknowledge the Court or stand in
the dock, but remained defiantly seated, folding his arms when multiple charges were put to
him. These were:- having a cache of guns and associated munitions found during a planned
search of his Andersonstown home, which included a Walther pistol with silencer 'under
suspicious circumstances'; a pistol without a firearms certificate; possession of an imitation
Glock pistol 'with intent to cause fear or violence'; and possessing prohibited weapons, namely
a knuckle-duster, a black-handled flick baton, two tasers and two pepper sprays.
The defendant pleaded guilty to all charges, however the 'learned' Judge accepted that he
did not have these murderous weapons .. wait for it .. 'WITH INTENT TO ENDANGER LIFE' !!
