Gang sets man and woman on fire

A man and woman have been doused with flammable liquid and set on fire.

Police said a gang of up to six men entered a house at Foley Road in Tassagh, near Keady in County Armagh, at about 2100 GMT on Monday.

They set the pair and the house alight. A 21-year-old woman is in a critical condition with serious burns, while a 33-year-old man is serious but stable.

BBC:

This is the sort of scum that we have living here in Northern Ireland - I hope the police catch them soon and frankly I don't give a damn how they handle them. Hanging is too good for the bastards, maybe they should have a taste of their own medicine so that they won't be doing the same to anybody else. To call them animals is an insult to animals.

An hour has passed since I wrote the above and although I have calmed down considerably I can still not think rationally about people like that. In my opinion they lost the right to be treated humanely the moment they stepped into the house of their victims. Can anybody give me one good reason why they should be allowed to live and probably commit similar atrocities. I am not a religious person but 'an eye for an eye' sounds like very good advice to me. Forget 'love your enemy' etc that sort of thinking does not deal effectively with evil like this.

Police and Gardai are trying to establish if four men being treated in hospital in Dublin are linked to an attack on two people in County Armagh.

It is now thought that this incident is part of a family feud. With family like that who needs enemies? They should have been drowned at birth, sterilised or castrated - anything - so long as they would not be able to procreate.

Of course Ian Paisley Jnr uses this as an excuse to attack republicans/nationalists in the area - and there's another family that should never have been allowed to procreate. We have his father and his supporters to thank for much of the troubles over the past 40 years. With their bullying and intimidation they managed to deny a large percentage of the population of Northern Ireland their civil rights - and they still refuse to do anything that will actually benefit the people of Northern Ireland.
