Catholic teenager Gerard Lawlor, 19 was shot dead as he made his way home from the Bellevue Arms pub on the Antrim rd. Gerard who was a normal teenager on his way home after drinking a skinful, was picked off by UFF gunmen as they trawled the streets of north belfast looking for lone catholic prey, to target in their bloodthirsty quest of hate and bigotry. Gerard was shot dead, months after protestant teenager Gavin Brett was shot dead after being mistaken for a catholic in similar circumstances and by the same UFF murder gang. Protestant Gavin was mistaken for a catholic as he socialised with his catholic best friends. Gavin's dad, paramedic Michael Brett, was called to the scene of the murder, unaware that it was his own son who was lying dead on the road. Michael Brett went on strike this week in solidarity with his paramedic colleague Brian Mckee who was knocked unconcious by a 30 strong armed UFF loyalist mob as he sped to attend ligoneil catholics injured in an unprovoked loyalist attack. Paramedic Brian Mckee who was hit in the head with a brick by the loyalist mob had previously attended to the sick and dying of the shankill rd bombing.
