The special branch in Dublin currently employ a former Haitian policeman for surveillance duties. Apparently as he is a black man they reckon no-one will spot him as a guard. Hes a bad bastard too.
implies he's actually good at his job, Bazza, presumably monitoring your pals in the Dublin RIRA.
[Apparently as he is a black man they reckon no-one will spot him as a guard. Hes a bad bastard too.]
Is that meant to be a sly attempt at posting a racist comment? what you on about?
How is calling someone a bad bastard racist ?
Wise up you plonker. Coloured people are as good and bad as everyone else.
As for Devil Dog, Im referring to his beating the crap out of young kids a few years back. And he followed me in and out of the chip shop and around the city centre one day, so ive a dislike of the fecker for those reasons.
are you saying that Devil dog beat up kids and followed you around, or are you saying that this haitian cop did it?
i presume the latter but you should make it clearer
but i wouldnt put it past that other boyo now you mention it.
Even though you sound like you're a cheap date, I'm not interested.
Devil Dog with his fetish for big guns is not the type of chap you would want following you around. Given the propensity of his mates in the US Marines for blowing the shit out of retreating Iraqis it would not be advisable to let him get behind you.
Talking of cheap dates did the US not have some form of love affair with the oldTon Ton ? Could explain why this Haitian feels free to wander round foreign cities terrorising its citizens
He was lurking about outside the 32csm agm in Dublin 2001.
A number of shade wearing FBI agents were monitoring the Easter Commemoration that year as well in the company of the branch. Birds of a feather etc.

February 28, 2005, marked one year since the U.S. removed at gun point the democratically-elected President of Haiti, Jean Bertrand Aristide.

Catholic Bishop Thomas Gumbleton, who had just returned from Haiti where he witnessed police intimidation of his host at a Catholic guest house, joined the other demonstrators to risk arrest by holding the protest along the fence in a space where demonstrators are usually arrested.

Aftermath of a Coup
The Other Disaster in Haiti
http://www.counterpunch.org/quigley10132004.html
By Bishop THOMAS GUMBLETON and BILL QUIGLEY
In addition to the death and destruction caused by the recent hurricane and floods, there is another disaster going on in Haiti right now. It is a human rights disaster.
We just returned from Haiti with a human rights delegation for Pax Christi USA, the Catholic peace movement. Our media has made us aware of the human toll from the flooding. What we are not so aware of is that there has been a coup in Haiti that continues to take a substantial human toll as well.
The forced exile of President Aristide earlier this year was effectively a coup that eliminated the constitutionally elected government of the people of Haiti. The elected government was replaced with an illegally appointed government of the minority with economic and military power, supported by the U.S., France and Canada.
As a result, human rights conditions are now worse in Haiti now then they have been in years.
[....]
We believe that if all the people of the world saw what we saw, they would insist that justice be done for Haiti. We ask the world to look at the people of Haiti as our sisters and brothers. Recognizing that our sisters and brothers are in serious trouble, we must all work together to help them bring justice to their country.
