Should Gerry Adams stay on as Leader of Sinn Fein?

[Fulvio_From_Aughnacloy]

I’m saying the police failed his niece as the police had little to no interest in investigating the matter as precedent shows.

[Batigol]

Again, and this is the last time I’ll say it, the police force, as was often the case, let the Nationalist community down repeatedly.

I still think that does not excuse Adams. I think it’s absolutely reprehensible what he did by concealing it for 9 years.

[Fulvio_From_Aughnacloy]

Yes. The police force let the nationalist community down time and time again. They let Aine Adams down.

So why would it have made a difference if Gerry Adams went forward with this information when the RUC showed by way or precedent that they had no interest in helping the nationalist community or no interest in investigating those allegations?

It’s 2020 and there are still huge trust issues with the PSNI in the nationalist community. Unfortunately they are the ones tasked with upholding law and order but their track record is disgraceful and nationalists are very hesitant to deal with them.

You’re speaking about something you have little understanding about here.

[the_man_himself]

So why did Gerry bother telling the PSNI at all in 2009? Do you think he was wrong to do that as well?

SF didn’t accept the PSNI until late 2007.

[the_man_himself]

So why didn’t Gerry tell them in 2007?

[Fulvio_From_Aughnacloy]

Because trust takes time.

You’ve shown yourself to be completely ignorant on northern matters here numerous times now, doesn’t seem to stop you throwing your uninformed musings in though.

[the_man_himself]

If being ignorant on Northern matters means that I think its reprehensible to allow a paedophile rapist to roam the streets and put more children in danger then I’m glad to be ignorant

No being ignorant on Northern matters would mean that you go around acting as a cheerleader for the most disgraced, reprehensible policing force in Europe.

Please stop lying. I never said anything at all like that

Keep defending the indefensible you paedophile apologist

I’m not lying.

You have refused to look at the RUC, the police force that failed to investigate a crime that was reported to them in 1987. A police force routinely involved in carrying out, covering up and frustrating investigations of sectarian murders and you wonder why Adams did not go forward to them with information on a case they had been aware of 22 years prior?

When you’re as clueless as you are it is best to say nothing.

[Batigol]

Adams kept it secret cos he was afraid it would damage him politically

[Fulvio_From_Aughnacloy]

@Batigol

Adams kept it secret cos he was afraid it would damage him politically

Or because like many of the nationalist community, the RUC had failed him and he had no trust in it?

The only thing we know for sure is that the RUC were the authority who could have investigated and charged Liam Adams but wasn’t interested in doing so despite the crimes being reported to them.

In the hysterical and theatrical words of @the_man_himself, they are the ones responsible for letting a paedophile roam the streets.

[Batigol]

Hide behind your “I’m from the north so I understand this better than you” line if you like, but you’ll never convince me Gerry Adams, or anyone else, is justified in not reporting a paedophile to the police. Anyway, I’ve said all I’m going to on the matter

[Fulvio_From_Aughnacloy]

Not interested in convincing you.

I’m just calling out your ignorant bullshit.

[TheBlackSpot]

@Batigol

You should have said fuck all in the first place. And before you or that other arse jumps in with “Oh like Gerry Adams”, Fulvio is absolutely correct on this. The RUC/PSNI don’t give a fuck about keeping paedophiles (or any other criminal, be it drug dealer/rapisr/sectarian killer) off the streets if letting them roam the streets gives them information on republicans. You’ll find out about this for real soon I’d guess. You have Drew Harris as your top cop and he I can assure you is a complete bastard.

[the_man_himself]

To clarify you are saying that Gerry Adams was right to allow a paedophile rapist to roam the streets and be in the company of other children?

[TheBlackSpot]

@the_man_himself

Could you point out exactly where I said that?

[the_man_himself]

You said Fulvio was absolutely correct and that’s what he said

[Little_Lord_Fauntleroy]

A lot if southern staters don’t get this but I’m.not surprised. They vote for parties that ran a state that turned a blind eye to institutional child abuse on an industrial scale
