Some fucking idiot general tried to reason that it was young inexperienced troops.
It was the fucking paratroop regiment!!!!
When were these animals ever fucking rookies? They're a dedicated hit squad sent in to do a dedicated hit job.
Liars.......dirty fucking murdering liars. The whole fucking lot of them committed an act of war against unarmed civilians
Forget
SP my brother were a para at the time and he knew many things were wrong and some of the guys wanted to shoot catholics.
Many times during the miners strike he would say where is the army, this is worse than a "Banned Civil Rights March"
He were a catholic but a young aggressive hothead, he nearly joined uo with the FNLA in Angola but seen sense.
MY POINT of topic, say you had a march in an English town and all the marchers were wanting were the vote for the local Parish, Council and Burgh elections. Access to the same housing as those over the river. The authorities deployed the local Yeomanary and militia.
Result ...... Many deaths.???!
People would say that used to happen 200 hundred years ago would never happen now.
Many people in abroad on shore visits would ask "What extra civil rights the catholics want"
I would just say "they want the vote". Americans were horrified at that white folk in their own country did not have equal status.
Told blacks and coloureds in West Africa and South Africa that a country run like the Boers/Afrikans discriminated against whites over creed.
OUP, DUP, RUC and the 'B' Specials would have killed Martin Luther King and Nelson Mandela for wanting the vote.
