Good episode. The moment the Irish woman mentioned raising money for charity, I knew this was going to be about IRA terrorism. Two years earlier, Columbo had an episode that was very similar, titled "The Conspirators."
This was one of the best of the series. I used to know someone who was with the IRA. I learned a lot from him about what was really going on there. This is pretty realistic. My friend, by the way, disappeared one day and was never heard from again. He knew too much. Over there, one of his jobs was training IRA Provos to use the weapons they had gotten from Libya. He'd learned about those weapons when he was with the U.S. Army in Vietnam. His name was Sean Patrick McShane.
I thought so too. Many Irish Americans were simply to naiv about the IRA. In fact that was a bunch of Criminals past the founding of the REPUBLIC OF IRLELAND CATHOLICS feeling oppressed in Norther Irland can move South and become raeal Irish
@@robertcringle4865 his name is Nigel Bullard. he was in several 1970's shows. you can look at his IMDb credits and one of those might ring a bell for you
When seconds matter, police are minutes away. If Jack Dodson (most known for Howard Sprauge in Andy Griffith Show and Micky Malph, aka Ralph Malph's fathher, in Happy Days) is in it, you know it is going to be a good episode. Too bad he only had a short stint in this episode.
Religion creates separation. Religion is something we are taught, it's a learned conditioned response, and is not a belief at all. I know how hard it is for others to understand this. I expect people to get angry about it, but that doesn't make what I am saying not true.
Senseless Violence breeds more senseless violence. Someday, one side will say, enough is enough and let the other side get the last punch. I only wish it were I that had that authority to let the other side have that last punch, because it is the innocent that suffer the most.

Have you spotted Blanche from the Golden Girls as Mrs McKenna?
Howard Sprague!
that show needed a 12 step program, they were alcholics
@Roy Miller I do not care about that, i have seen how alcohol can ruin a person.
Early sighting of Red from That 70s Show 17:49
Kurtwood Smith, a helluva actor. He also played in a rather unknown Sylvester Stallone flick called Oscar as an police investigator.
Does anyone know who his partner is? He looks darn familiar.
@@johnny-becker He was in at least one other episode of Lou Grant as well.
@@paulmueller2957 he was a fire captain in S3 E14 Brushfire

paul kersey Like I said before and just like in this story, it always the innocent that suffer the most when governments clash.
Art Trombley. Very well said.
Thank you Truth.
"I'm a terrible guest. I know that." 😳
why does lou grant have 323 guns
Rue's 'Irish accent' is laughable--weak, plus it comes and goes
Woeful accents and the Tribune’s indifference is annoying. 1980 was peak IRA
The accents are AWFUL!!!
