Un mistero i graffiti anti Sinn Féin

Anti-SF graffiti blitz remains a mystery

La Mon bombing
ANTI-SINN Fein graffiti has been painted on dozens of walls across Belfast and north Down in what appears to have been coordinated incidents.

It is still not clear who was behind the vandalism or exactly what those responsible are attempting to highlight.

The identical message — “Remember the La Mon bombing. 13 Protestants killed. For what??? Sinn Fein vote!” — appeared over the weekend in several areas, with reports of the Woodstock, Ravenhill, Cregagh, Ballybeen and Shankill areas of the city being affected as well as areas of Newtownards and Bangor.

Ulster Unionist former Lord Mayor Jim Rodgers said he had no idea who has painted the graffiti but has appealed for those behind the vandalism to stop.

“I hate to see property being spoiled with graffiti and, while I can understand the sentiments sometimes, and even on this occasion, nevertheless, I have noticed it on private property and already I have been contacted about trying to get it removed,” he said.

The East Belfast representative added: “While people may agree with what they’re saying, they don’t want to see their areas brought down through graffiti.

“At Belfast City Council we are continually removing graffiti and it’s costing the city a lot of money.”

Mr Rodgers said: “There are other ways and means of getting your point across without doing it on walls.”
