No justice
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.The IRA's outrageous offer to shoot those people involved in the killing of Robert McCartney is yet more evidence of how out of touch it is with the mood of the nationalist community in Northern Ireland. What the McCartney family want is not vengeance - but justice. They want Mr McCartney's killers tried in a court of law - not executed in some back alley by men in balaclavas.

The IRA is clearly finding it difficult to come to terms with the fact that the days when it could operate outside the law, dispensing its own brutal brand of "justice", now - thankfully - appear to be over.
