So if there is a border built on the Island of Ireland and your Children and mine decide to march up to that border to protest that their free movement in their own country is impeeded .Are you saying it is OK for the Parashoot Regiment to turn GPMGs or Bren Guns on them .
If there was a very hard border put in and your kids and my kids went up to protest at that border, then I would hope the kids would have the sense not to shoot at or bombard the border guards with missiles, because every action will draw a reaction and ya just don't know how an armed soldier will react in a hostile situation, as proved in Israel last Monday and proved on the streets of Derry on 'Bloody Sunday'.
After reading a lot of reports about Israel last Monday, there were 2,700 injured which would put the hostile Palastinian protest crowd at about 10 to 20 thousand strong, they were Hamas backed which would mean that a good few of them would have been armed with guns, those not armed with guns were mostly armed with slingshots and they shot at and pelted the Israeli army fer a long time before the Israelies retaliated. It was not a peaceful protest and the Palastinians bit off a lot more than they could chew.
