Belfast Bombed By: Hannah Kerman

In Belfast, Ireland, a bomb was detonated on Friday around 7 p.m. If there had been people around, they could have been killed or injured. Luckily, a warning was sent through, although it was to the wrong location, the police evacuated the area and the bomb didn't hurt anyone. This attack was put there to disrupt the lives of ordinary people, so these bombs must have a reason. The police are wondering if they are mad about the Union flag which angered loyalists, but they don't know. Their bombings are not going to help their movement to influence the government or the people.
I believe that people should be able to stand up for what they believe in, but if putting hundred's of people's lives at stake, you're no longer standing up for something, you are now threatening something. Luckily, the people weren't the victims in this case, but if the government doesn't find out who did that, they could start to become stronger and a stronger force is usually a harder one.

  2. I agree. People should never put other people's lives at risk.

  3. I hate how people do destruction when they can't think of anything better to do. If you really want to rebel, don't put others' lives at risk.
