Is this what repesents loyality and repulician's these days
WIDOWS, pensioners, toddlers, immigrant workers and brides-to-be - these are the innocent 'targets' of the horrifying rise in petrol-bomb attacks.
Sunday Life can reveal a worrying escalation in the number of these potentially fatal attacks, across Northern Ireland.
Provisional police statistics show there has been a 70pc rise in the number of petrol-bombing incidents, in the summer of 2005 - compared to the same period last year.
In June, July and August, 2004, there were a total of 99 petrol bomb attacks.
But this summer has seen that figure dramatically increase to 169 incidents - with August proving to be the worst month for such attacks, with 74 incidents recorded.
These are just some of the incidents, which have left families panic stricken, or fleeing for their lives from faceless thugs:
JUNE 6: Two petrol bombs are thrown at homes in Coleraine.
JULY 11: Catholic woman, Kathleen McCaughey (51), has to move from her Ahoghill home, after loyalists threaten to burn her out.
JULY 26: Bride-to-be and bar worker, Angela O'Hagan and partner, Michael McKeown flee from their flat in Martinstown, near Ballymena, after a petrol bomb attack gutted the downstairs' pub.
AUGUST 8: Five Polish immigrants escape injury after a petrol bomb attack, in Kilrea.
AUGUST 23: The north Belfast home of a former RAF D-Day hero, 82-year-old John Mussen is targeted by paint bombers.
Afterwards, he says: "I hope whoever did this is proud of themselves that they can treat people of this age like this."
Three other homes in the Hesketh Road area are attacked by nationalist petrol bombers.
AUGUST 24: Thirteen-week-old Lorcan Grew is covered in paint and sustains cuts, after an attack on his home at Cliftondene Crescent, in north Belfast. A number of other family homes in the Alliance Avenue area are also targeted by loyalists.
Hundreds of devices were hurled by loyalists in Belfast, in an eruption of violence, following the re-routing of the contentious Whiterock Road Orange Order parade, on September 10.
Other recent attacks have included the petrol bombing of a Latvian man's Portadown home and elderly west Belfast couple, who were treated for smoke inhalation, after fireworks were ignited and stuffed through the letterbox, at their Gransha Park home.
these people are supposed to be fighting for the rights to walk but is it worth taking away your neighbours right to live i think not
more loyalists attacked homes in this list but republicians where just as bad burning church's and orange lodges across the province
