You are aware of the "troubles" ?
I am assuming good faith here but there are para militaries on both sides that make Trumps most headbanging supporters look like boy scouts.
Their idea of "legitimate political criticism" goes a bit further than you would like.

- pessimizer 5y agoIs this evidence that the UVA is/was not a paramilitary, or just you declaring your support for them?

- meepmorp 5y agoDid you intend your post to be an endorsement of NI paramilitaries? I didn't read it like that, but everyone else seems to be doing a round of IRA whataboutism in response.
- iso1631 5y agoI was linking to a loyalist paramilitary. Many Americans have a very strange view of Northern Ireland, seem to think that one bunch of terrorists are lovely people and the other bunch don't exist
- meepmorp 5y agoThat's what I thought; you were merely pointing out the existence of paramilitary groups on the loyalist side, in addition to the more familiar (to those in the US) IRA. Guess the comment strife is to be expected.
- walshemj 5y agoYour not familiar with the term ?
