solidarity vigil for mary kelly

category national | miscellaneous | news report author Thursday January 30, 2003 16:46author by katherine harford - shannon peace campauthor email shannonpeacecamp at hotmail dot comauthor address entrance to shannon war port Report this post to the editors

At 9pm this evening outside Limerick prison, mulgrave street, limerick, a vigil will be held in solidarity and support for mary kelly, who is being held on the inside, while US military planes still land on the outside. I have told her about the vigil and where we will be at 9pm, so it would be great to see as many as possible outside the prison walls. she is in good spirits today and is warmed by all the support. and of course your presence is urgently needed at the peace camp as tracey has already appealed. in peace...

She should be kept in prision. It's nice to see that you's support people breaking the law.

author by Phuq Heddpublication date Thu Jan 30, 2003 19:44author address author phone Report this post to the editors

She's an Irish Citizen attacking a foreign military aircraft illegally on our soil. She's a hero. In fact, Luke, seeing as you're such a boyo for "the law" you should be out there helping her and also out doing a citizen's arrest on the criminals that call themselves "our" government. When you've finished with that you could start investigating why the airport police and "inspectors" are refusing to the job which my taxes putatively pay for: inspecting foreign aircraft.

Then, Luke, you could start to consider more nuanced, complicated situations such as "under what circumstances should the law be broken"? Like, suppose Luke, that the law was imperfect and needed to be changed and the only way to highlight that was to break it? But don't hurt your brain over that one: just stick with the simple implementation of Bunracht na hEireann.

Now we see that the Continuity IRA support group in New York, the Irish National Freedom Committee, are correct in honouring Mary on Friday, as she is clearly an anti-imperialist.

State of the Union, 2003

I have not been to Jerusalem,
but Shirley talks about the bombs.
I have no god, but have seen the children praying
for it to stop. They pray to different gods.
The news is all old news again, repeated
like a bad habit, cheap tobacco, the social lie.


The children have seen so much death
that death means nothing to them now.
They wait in line for bread.
They wait in line for water.
Their eyes are black moons reflecting emptiness.
We've seen them a thousand times.


Soon, the president will speak.
He will have something to say about bombs
and freedom and our way of life.
I will turn the TV off. I always do.
Because I can't bear to look
at the monuments in his eyes.


Sam Hamill
