Siege of Short Strand, Read this and give views Options

[*paul murphy*]

OK, SHORT STRAND is a Catholic area in Belfast but read this and tell me what u think:
Just the other night a pensioners bungalow was attacked with petrol bombs setting the roof ablaze. But for the vigilance of local residents and a hose permanently connected to a water hydrant this bungalow could have been burned to the ground and its occupants killed. The hose connected to the hydrant is one of many in the area, put in place to quickly extinguish these almost nightly attacks.

With a population of 3,000 and surrounded by a Unionist/Loyalist population of almost 90,000 one should find it totally unrealistic to think that these attacks are being launched from Short Strand, but yet this is what the so-called free press is portraying.

Imagine the horror of the people of the Short Strand when they turned on their televisions and saw edited footage of the rally portraying them as the instigators as they repelled the attack on themselves by masked Loyalists.

The people of this area need more people like these observers willing to come and see what is going on and hold the press and RUC/PSNI accountable for their actions as they do not care about the residents of this community or what happens to them.

My Grandmother lives there and I go there every Saturday and what happens to these ppl is wrong. By the way LOYALISTS=PROTESTANTS NATIONALISTS=CATHOLICS
