it just seems as though being out and about in big cities is an increasingly risky business.

Now the event has occured, I hope it is terrorists rather than an individual headcase, as maybe some good can come of it.
IMO, from the impression I get, and having spent a fair bit of time in NY. The yanks on the north east coast love the IRA yet they hate terrorism, they hate communism, hate a-rabs and love patriotism.
But the IRA are communist terrorists in league with Gadaffi and Castro killing US allied soldiers??
They think the IRA are cute little freedom fighters. They should try telling that to the families of the 21 innocent brummies killed whilst having a pint, and the 150+ victims, many of whom still struggle today.
I was advised when in NY not to go to Boston on a day trip as the english 'arent too liked up there.' I ignored this as I thought it nonsense, but never got the chance to find out as the bad weather stopped our trip. I have though experienced anti english feeling in NY, a few times.
This event yesterday is absolutely disgraceful, I condem it, as I do all terrorism, and feel very sorry for the victims and their families.
I also hope I dont see anymore posting from New Englanders on Sinn Fein websites and Gerry Adams twitter account, advocating terrorist activity again.
Its quite strange how you mention the IRA, as the US supreme court ruled in favour of the PSNI receiving tapes made by Dolours Price in the 70's that could name IRA killers of Jean McConville.
Ex-IRA and New York based, Ed Moloney and Anthony McIntyre have been trying to over turn the decision to release them under the 1st amendment. However the court refused to hear their appeal. Its also quite strange that on Moloney's twitter page, he calls it a campaign.
