2 kids have been arrested over the murder of NI journalist Lyra McKee

They have been on the planet for less time that the Good Friday Agreement has been in place. How the fuck did they get so radicalised during 2 decades of peace to think that going back to the troubles is a good plan?

RIP Lyra

She was a real talent

I was not trying to mitigate their actions because of their age.... my point is that they have never had any direct consequences of the previous troubles as they have only known peace in NI - so how have they been radicalised? Historic community memory is strong but both communities really enjoy peace and it is not that strong.

Northern Ireland police release teenagers arrested after journalist killing

BELFAST (Reuters) - Police in Northern Ireland on Sunday released without charge two teenagers arrested in relation to the killing of a journalist during a riot in Londonderry.

Lyra McKee, 29, an award-winning journalist who was writing a book on the disappearance of young people during decades of violence in Northern Ireland, was shot dead on Thursday as she watched Irish nationalist youths attack police following a raid.

“Two males, aged 18 and 19 ... have been released without charge,” the Police Service of Northern Ireland said in a statement.
