Loyalist paramilitaries sat masked in a courtroom until lunchtime while a supergrass gave evidence.

1. There is no way in God’s earth this should have been allowed to happen.

2. Least mental loyalists.

3. Mad..just shows what a hell hole this is

4. Fortunately, there was a heavy police presence to ensure that the paramilitaries could undertake their attempts to intimidate without fear of disruption

5. They have free rein to do as they please.

6. The man is beyond intimidation at this stage. Sitting there with masks isn’t going to make him any more scared.

7. Would you be surprised if they had to show ID before entering the court only to then put a mask on

8. Away and get a job ffs.

9. Why are they not locked up for contempt?

10. Jesus Christ how was that tolerated for even a second, do the PSNI not know how to use their batons?

    They’re like the RUC but neutered. The kid gloves and the softly softly approach needs to end. The police need to take the bull by the horns and put doors up halls and start cracking heads. If they riot they riot. They’re only end up wrecking their own areas anyway.

11. PSNI sleeping at the wheel. No surprises there.

12. How were they allowed in in the first place?
