Summarizing the above as viewed by me, the Government
Agents avoided the light of day and came in the dark like thieves
in the night, putting my home under siege and held two women
of the special agents with the conduct of the Black and Tan
my youth and with their successors in infamy, the S.A.S. British
thugs who maim and murder in the Ireland of today.
