From The Irish Times:

AMSTERDAM: A shoplifter looking to make a quick getaway from a dutch supermarket after stealing a packet of meat left police a crucial piece of evidence- his 12-year-old son.

In his haste, the thief (45) made a solo dash to his car. Police in the southern town of Kerkrade said they contacted the thief via the boy, but he had refused to return and collect his son.

The man told officers to get hold of the youngster's mother instead. However, he turned himself in yesterday.

A bunch of absolute morons calling themselves the 'Irish Citizens Defence Force' have sent threatening letters containing live shotgun cartridges to Minister for Health Mary Harney, Minister for Enterprise Trade & Employment Micheál Martin & several Fertility Clinics around the country.

What year do they think this is? It's rather sad to think that someone thought this would be the best way to go about getting things done. I can only imagine the simpletons in question are either (a) bunker residing loons or (b) twelve year old boys. It's the old 'schoolyard bully' mentality which they really should have grown out of by now.

Regardless, it's pretty damned audacious of these idiots to go billing themselves as representatives of Irish Citizens. I think I can say with reasonable certainty that the VAST majority of Irish folk would prefer to work out their problems with the government in a peaceful civilized fashion (ie Liveline).

Apparently the group attested in their letters to clinics that fertility treatment is 'a crime against humanity'. Whereas violence clearly isn't.

This is the kind of stupid, stupid people we're dealing with.

Sigh..
