Oh dear how sad
Mr McGuinness had big balls and showed that a leopard can change its spots. He was a major component in the NI peace process. He became good friends with Ian Paisley, one of the most bitter, twisted pot stirrers that ever lived. He even shook hands with the queen. He showed a generation of young nationalists who were smart enough to think for themselves that there is another way.
RIP

It could be argued that without people like him the Peace Process wouldn't have been required in the first place. I for one am glad for the good Friday agreement and the peace that has been maintained since then.
He won't be celebrated by many but at least there won't be masked men firing shots over his coffin. well I hope not.
Times have changed. Hopefully they will remain changed. That's the best I can say for him.

A murderer and a thug. I hope he suffered.
I don't get worked up about much but allowing gangsters positions of power has always been beyond me.
Yes. We were so much better off back in the good old days of the 1970's & 80's.I don't get worked up about much but allowing gangsters positions of power has always been beyond me.

I agree with this. To get a different result, something had to change, and helped lead the his faction from violence to politics successfully.It doesn't excuse what he did in the past, but he was able to look forward, and that should be respected.
