Maurice, on Black & Tans, but a bad joke on directing anger toward English

I hate to see the Irish battle among themselves.. Molloy is an example of an angry non-cerebral Irishman.. I do not enjoy the IRA bombings in London.. the splattered body parts and senseless killing accomplishes nothing constructive.. my parents met in London, a special place for me

the violence has two sides.. when my mother was a young teen south of Dublin in a little town, she witnessed a "Black & Tan" British Army retaliation of a teenage boy who mouthed off in public.. the brave Brit soldier came in the middle of the night to take the kid.. after beating him up, they put a burlap bag over his head, tied his feet and with the rope dragged him all over town behind the soldier's mounted horse.. they paraded the broken body around and around, leaving a bloodied skull trail for all to see.. nobody was brought to justice for the murder, a memorable image conveyed by Mom

two sides, old man.. two centuries of violence
some of my best friends are English
not true actually, they often pee ice water

sincerely, Jim Willie
