Violence Continues in Northern Ireland

Here is the latest I have heard from Ulster. An attack by IRA terrorists on protestants:

My sister phoned me today as her daughter and husband were attacked overnight by some taigs. They heard a noise at 1.30am and Gerald got up in his underpants to find a man in the living room.The guy beat up Gerald causing cuts and bruises to his face,chest legs and feet. He got him on the floor and stamped on his bare chest,legs and feet in front of his wife and 4 year old son. There were 4 more of them outside in a car. All their windows and front door were broken and they drove off shouting slogans like "Orange Bastards" and "Up the 'RA". They were after the car keys to steal the car. Nancy got the number plate on their car as it was driving off. The police and forensic team arrived and the car was traced to IRA terrority{Falls Road},it was a stolen car they were using. Gerald is only 26 and thought he was going to be shot. The forensics took some blood samples that were wiped on Gerald to see if they can find a DNA match.
At least they went away empty handed as he wouldn't hand over his car keys.

And then the most appalling part of the story:

It was told to them "off the record" that it wasn't worth pursuing the attackers as it causes disturbances in Republican areas which could lead to a breakdown in the peace process.
Every time the police have to enter their areas they come under attack from riots, petrol bombs, fireworks and bottles.
The British Government will put up with anything to keep Sinn fein happy.

That peace agreement isn't worth the paper it is written on!
