The poor, simple guy was shot in the back by thugs who treated people like animals. Forgive me for not shedding any tears on this particular thug's departure...

Age and time do not diminish crime. There is no stature of limitations on murdering someone

I don't believe in gloating at anyone's death, but I do believe that he evaded justice here.

BryantDjbryant RIP

Just a shame he did not die in jail where he belongs.

Trial of former British soldier over NI death postponedThe legacy shooting trial of former British soldier Dennis Hutchings, adjourned last Friday because he was 'unwell', was today postponed for another three weeks after learning he has contracted Covid-19. Yes what he done was a terrible act. But What I don’t get is. Why did lads who murdered people on both sides of this, along with bomb makers get released from prison as a result of the good Friday agreement. But they’re hell bent on prosecuting this lad 🤯 strange one Has he fuck. COVID is too good for him.
