we have seen the reaction of repulicans when they where denied the right to show respect for there dead,if you remember lawernce marley and the reponse of the ira it was to bomb a funeral of a policeman.
Come on they did not bomb the funeral of a policeman, after dozens of attacks by the RUC on republican funerals the IRA planted a HOAX bomb at the gates of a graveyard where a policeman was to be buried. As if to say if you do not stop attacking our funerals we can attack yours,your post makes it sound like they exploded a bomb in the middle of the funeral

“I would love to see the reaction on republican or anyone elses face if they were denied the right to show respect for their soldiers”
Republicans were denied the right to show respect for their soldiers when republican mourners were batoned by the RUC at republican funerals RUC fired plastic bullets into mourners, rammed mourners with jeeps, a loyalist thug attacked republican mourners with bomb and bullet killing 3 mourners at a republican funeral. Now would you still like to see the reaction on the republican face ?
