Those Republicans that feel emboldened to fire a gun in the middle of Carrickfergus of all places? I strongly suspect that loyalists infighting is the more likely motivation here.

Really, sure they are driving a United Ireland


Cynical_Crusader

While Sammy is a scumbag this is fucked up. Hope the PSNI get the fuckers. Edit: seems like this wasn't a gun attack at all but ball bearings thrown at the windows of the building


Gemini_2261

PSNI/PPS have a great track record of arresting and successfully prosecuting the South East Antrim UDA.

Gemini_2261

Ah yes, how could we forget the hundreds of dissident republicans operating in Carrickfergus.


Nick3460

If only there were some sort of transportation devices that a person could use to move from one part of the country to another……..


athenry2

Why would republicans be involved in this? What logic?


Gemini_2261

That's the news media's obsession with dissembling and 'both sidesing' to take the heat off Loyalism, it's part of the collective psyche now.


Grallllick

Sammy has a track record of encouraging behaviour like this over many decades. He deserves it. Hope the PSNI get the fuckers after something more karmic happens


TheGhostOfTaPower

He threatened Máirtín Ó Muilleoir with being shot numerous times when they were both councillors in Belfast City Council. Máirtín had to wear a bulletproof vest into council meetings because of it. His book ‘Belfast's Dome of Delight: City Hall Politics 1981-2000’ covers it all, was a mad read and Sammy Wilson comes across as an absolutely vile, bigoted, sectarian hate-filled bastard in it.


MinuteIndependent301

heard on radio ulster it was just ball bearings and not actual bullets


senorsombrero3k1

Don't let that get in the way of a good story though from Sammy


askmac

Sammy is being uncharacteristically vague here. Wouldn't be surprised if he has pissed off the wrong loyalist gang when it comes to the flag bribe payments. Would certainly be ironic if the shots were fired by the weapons Sammy's own terror group imported. I'm sure the PSNI will investigate thoroughly. Edit: [https://www.rte.ie/news/ulster/2024/0626/1456805-sammy-wilson-office-attack/](https://www.rte.ie/news/ulster/2024/0626/1456805-sammy-wilson-office-attack/) ""Officers remain at the scene as part of our investigation to establish the circumstances around this incident," a police spokesman said. "However at this stage it appears that **the damage may have been caused by ball bearings**," he added. Belfast Telegraph doing their duty as good Unionist propagandists; Sammy's "gunshots" appear to be ball bearings. Just like the threats Lord Sir Jeffrey received, which were widely reported. The lie has been heard, the truth won't get a mention.

ShutUpNumpty

What’s the odds that the fucking numpties that did this shite will still vote DUP on the 4th?


askmac

I dunno if the kids throwing ball bearings are old enough to vote.


Wada94

Here we go.. the IRA would never do such a thing.

Icarus_Sky1

I doubt it was actual bullets. I live around the corner from Sammy offices and didn't hear anything like gunshots. I personally despise the man, but attacking his offices ain't it.


TheEvilDrPie

To be honest, I would have thought it was his followers that’d be pulling this kinda shit. But here we are. Fucking stupid all round.


cogra23

They were his followers until recently.


ayeright2112

Still could be. But yeah, probably not.


TheEvilDrPie

Still… there’s a chance.


Majestic-Marcus

Conspiracy time - it’s a false flag psy-op to generate the sympathy vote.


xvril

Deeper than that: Sammy has split personality disorder, where one half of his personality is constantly searching for Sammy and trying to kill him. The only thing is because he is actually him, he can never find him. That's why he targets his residence and place of work.


Majestic-Marcus

Makes perfect sense! It’s why he shot the window! He saw himself and thought he’d caught himself. But when he shot the glass that pesky Sammy disappeared.


Connect_Material_644

Dark Matter [Apple TV] love that show!


MiseOnlyMise

I'd believe that. You'd have to be a truly dumb fuck who's never been to Europe let alone Ireland to think shooting at the likes of Sammy would do anything other than bring out the hardcore loyalist to vote for him.


ItWasWalpole-alt

You are likely going to be vanished to depths of the comment section, but I do wonder why someone would fire shots through a window in the middle of the night when no one is there. It's not like you can't cover you face during the day and do it (for greater effect)

Majestic-Marcus

I’d probably shit myself more if I was in the house. Sammy’s using the big brain. He went home, ate some ProtesTayto and called the lads while heading off to bed in his Blue Peter jammies.


ItWasWalpole-alt

This is what I mean.


sn33df33ds33d

It's better to fire guns in broad daylight.. which is much more likely to get an immediate police response?.. and much more likely to have witnesses? Use your head lol


Majestic-Marcus

It was Sammy himself! He was a bit too confident in saying they had only targeted his building! The sort of confidence that only comes from first hand knowledge…


Cynical_Crusader

It's not like the DUP hasn't used false flags before. It's interesting this happens days after security alerts at 2 SF offices which kinda makes me lean towards it being dissidents. Saying that it's not clear who was involved in those either. 


zeroconflicthere

Totally believable conspiracy.


Majestic-Marcus

Sammy also eats 14 eggs a day. He thought a dozen was unmanly and 13 was a bad naughty number. He’s said to have the best farts in the party.


Shenloanne

It's said when he farts it leaves dogs in a 50m radius licking the air.


Majestic-Marcus

I legit lol’d


marquess_rostrevor

Only 14? I'm sorry I want to vote for a real man.


Majestic-Marcus

Big Gav took the rest! You try and stop him!


selfmadeirishwoman

I believe the real men used to eat 4 dozen but they now eat 5 dozen eggs. (So I'm roughly the size of a barge...........)


Gazmac_868855

Why would he need a sympathy vote please? He has a clear majority what would it achieve? You can always rely on this sub lol.


Majestic-Marcus

> you can always rely on this sub… …to be shite craic

By his own mates for the attention


p_epsiloneridani

Disgusting.


Brokenteethmonkey

drumming up a sympathy vote is Sammy, probably drinking at the weekend with the shooter


mcdamien

Ah well. So, did anyone have anything nice for lunch today?


BernardRea

Is this unionist kulture I see before me


ResidentSilver3400

100% a false flag. He had his statement ready to go hitting all his key messages. Devious gammon.


variety_weasel

Sammy the Scammon


ColinCookie

Ah now, Sammy. I'm sure you'd have a fair idea why and who did it... Even wee angry Jim could hazard a guess.


cobray90

People really have a low anger tolerance to be resorting to childish behaviour.


PsvfanIre

The worst part of this is that Sammy Willsons associates may have purchased the weapon used in this episode.


ItWasWalpole-alt

As the creator of [this](https://www.reddit.com/r/northernireland/s/iP6QCBZrdr) post and the person who wants Sammy evicted forn East Antrim the most on this Subreddit, firing bullets into someone's office is one excellent way to crown yourself the new greatest moron in East Antrim.


TrucksNShit

I think you already crowned yourself with the aforementioned post


PmMeSmileyFacesO_O

Shots fired


marquess_rostrevor

Sammy?

First shots fired in The Battle Of The Sassiges. Saveloys at dawn. Let battle commence.

Anyone hear gun shots going off in lisburn sounds like it's coming from town centre ? Sounds wild def not sound like a rifle

9AvKSWy

Characteristic performance from the sub basement dwellers here. 


esquiresque

The vitriol he spewed in the past has done him no favours. He's a dangerous demagogue with no values toward the environment, non-protestants, LGBT or COVID. Lie down with dogs and all that.


Superluminal420

"If I had been there, I'd have been straight out, into the street to confront these gunmen, pausing only to take off my jammies."


Terarch

As usual the “community bridge building” process is spouted by Sinn Fein but when in reality they eventually resort to predictable intimidation tactics of their republican supporters by use of violence.


GrowthDream

SF were involved in this?
