I've been reading about this attack in the Belfast Telegraph. It is the latest in a series of escalating tit-for-tat attacks in Ballymena between rival gangs of youths. A real shame. They have charged 5 teenagers with the murder. Looks like the marching season in Antrim is going to be very interesting this year .

The violence is bursting through the seams of the Good Friday Agreement Appeasement, as it has only polarised power to the extremes, rather than consolidating the moderates.

It was a ridiculous notion of pursuing peace by negotiating with terrorists - the Anglo-Irish Agreement should have been tried a second time instead.
