Catholic teenager Gerard Lawlor shot dead by UFF death squad/Johnny Adairs henchmen, as he walks home from a pub.

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.

John Reid and the UFF/LVF

Gerard Lawlor's family has appealed for no retaliation, saying that they will pray for Gerard's killers. North Belfast Sein Fein rep Gerry Kelly called for calm and no retaliation. The spiral of loyalist UFF/LVF violence, political assasination and sectarian conflict have increased and flourished under the reign of the present secretary of state for northern ireland, pigheaded John Reid. Things in northern ireland have gone downhill since Mo Mowlam left, with authortarian military man John Reid taking over from Peter Mandelson, the rot set in after Mo Mowlam left with all manner of establishment stiff upper lip jumped up military wannabes thinking they can jackboot their way through republicans. John Reid's style appeals to jumped up brit sargent major stiff upper lip binky old boy snob types, but by pandering to UFF commander Johnny Adair, John Reid has plunged Northern Ireland back in time, into the dark old days when loyalist death squads trawled the streets of north belfast looking for victims to torture and murder. For the people of north belfast who lived through the dark days of the shankill butchers, fear and terror stalk us once more.
