「ボビーなんとかって、誰それ?」と思われるかもしれないが、北アイルランド紛争、特にIRAについて文献を読めば必ずこの人の名前が出てくる。一回り年長のジェリー・アダムズ、故マーティン・マクギネスといった人々とともに、シン・フェインとIRAを、武装闘争の時代、「機関銃と投票箱」の時代、和平と紛争転換の時代と移り行く流れのなかで、引っ張ってきた重鎮のひとりであり、地域社会の顔役であった。というか、IRAなので、まあ、そういうことだ。マーティナ・アンダーソンもジェリー・ケリーも「彼は前面に立って引っ張ってきた (he led from the front)」と語っている。(っていうかこの "He led from the front" 言説は《物語》ですね。今のIRAによる「リパブリカン正史」の物語。アンダーソンタウン・ニュースもそれを強調している。)
Sinn Féin has announced the death of leading IRA figure Bobby Storey, who allegedly acted as the organization's head of intelligence during the Troubles.
Storey was an influential figure in the republican movement throughout the troubles in Northern Ireland and the subsequent peace process.
He had been unwell for a significant period of time and died on Sunday at the age of 64.
Storey became involved in the republican movement from a young age when he was interned without trial as a teenager.

Belfast republican Bobby Storey has died. I first met him in the H-Blocks where he was a considerable presence. I loaned him The Catcher In The Rye to read in H8 in 92 - he was much more intelligent than some enemies gave him credit for. And he was a committed IRA volunteer.

Bobby Storey was fond of just calling in. A cup of tea would last an hour. He was one for the big picture, keen to talk about strategy and direction. Never had a bitter word and never briefed negatively. His craic was mighty. So close to the road back to health. Heartbreaking.

— Ballymagash Times (@Ballymagash_T) June 21, 2020
He was responsible for the Northern bank robbery.
Was IRA director of intelligence that ordered countless murders.
Covered up the sexual abuse committed by members of Sinn Fein/IRA
Spare me the "he was a man of peace"
He was a murderer
デマも流されてる。ボビー・ストーリーは1956年生まれ。ジーン・マコンヴィルさん殺害事件は1972年だから、ストーリーが16歳のときだ。ストーリーが仮に、言われているように、IRAの情報部門のトップだったとしても、そのことは1972年に彼がマコンヴィルさんの拉致と拷問・殺害に関与したということにはならない。だが、人々は「IRAの情報部門」と聞けば「10人の幼い子供を一人で育てている母親を拉致して殺したひどい連中」と思う。その連想に乗っかったデマである。
If Bobby Storey appears before the final Judge he’ll be asked, “Whats the story Storey”? and then get a thumbs down. Same as he gave Jean McConville. Storey lived a lfe of lies and murder, and behind a mask of peace he fomented sectarian agendas to the end.
— Barbara J. Pym (@barbarapym2) June 22, 2020
なお、ジェイミーは別枠。1つだけ。
Everyone is entitled to mourn a loved one. But let us keep in mind that Bobby Storey was a unrepentant lifelong IRA terrorist. The media should not sanitise that reality as part of the ‘peace process’ agenda. Today my thoughts are with the loved ones of the IRA’s victims.
— Jamie Bryson (@JamieBrysonCPNI) June 21, 2020
そこら辺の話。
Republicans will never condemn the likes of Bobby Storey in the same way Loyalists will never condemn David Ervine. The sooner both sides, particularly idiots like yoirself, accept this then the quicker we can move on.
— Lorcan (@Lorcan92161226) June 26, 2020
To some people he was a terrorist, to others he was a soldier and peace builder. Again, this will never change, so stop choosing to let the fact that Republicans admire people like Bobby Storey offend you.
— Lorcan (@Lorcan92161226) June 27, 2020
それと、家に戻ってきた棺を出迎える人々がソーシャル(フィジカル)・ディスタンシングを気にしてもいなかったようだが、北アイルランドは今、新型コロナウイルス感染拡大を阻止するために葬儀も参列者を極限まで少なくするなどしているわけで、ボビー・ストーリーだけ特別に扱っているならそれは北アイルランド自治政府の一角に収まっているシン・フェインとしてはとんでもない欺瞞で、これは禍根を残すようなことにもなりかねない。
Breaching coronavirus guidelines with Bobby Storey's funeral leaves SF open to the charge of double standards. Just imagine the outrage there'd be among nationalists if loyalists flouted the rules for a UDA or UVF funeral?https://t.co/Q5nvn5c5G8
— Suzanne Breen (@SuzyJourno) June 27, 2020
Wondering how (or if) the PSNI will police Bobby Storey's funeral. The lead up (with the coffin being guarded by the PIRA and shooting over it) to the actual funeral itself were more than 10 of the PIRA (who claim to be no more) are told to attend.
