[@taintabird23]

The British Army were murdering cowards too. Not sure if they killed any babies, but they certainly killed children and other innocent civilians and largely got away with it. Only three British soldiers were ever convicted, serving a total of 17 years and were upon their release reinstated into their units and given promotions. The context of Civil Rights march on Bloody Sunday was internment without trial of Republican suspects - most of them completely innocent - which was of course banned by the Unionist administration. But there was also widespread discrimination against Catholics in housing, employment, and especially the civil service and the RUC. In NI, both communities self-segregated (according to you it was just Catholics) but the Unionist controlled institutions of NI were closed to Catholics. Gerrymandering was widespread in the west of the province. Indeed, the last Northern Irishman to win a VC in the British Armed forces was denied the Freedom of Belfast...because he was a Catholic. He only received official recognition there in 1999.

[@taintabird23]

Oh Jay...you're hopeless. The IRA are exactly 100 years old this year. I am unaware of the killing of any children by the IRA during the War of Independence. The Crown Forces, killed them often. Can you tell me of the deliberate targeted killing of children during the NI Troubles by the IRA? Any schools machine gunned? Kreshes?

The single biggest recruiting sergeant that the IRA ever got. Another 600-800 would die by the end of 1972. And the British establishment, in its refusal to hold any of the soldiers to account at the time, ensured that they lost any moral high ground in the court of Republican and Nationalist opinion. It was war. Shooting people in the back when they're running away is a war crime under the Geneva Convention. If only decisive action against the shooters had taken place, that British soldiers weren't trained to act like the Einsatzgruppen in the eyes of half the population, maybe The Troubles could have been nipped in the bud and thousands more lives could have been saved.

Going through the Saville report kinda answers why sending assault troops into riot control is a very bad idea. A confused, chaotic situation with aggressive troops - some of whom were clearly out of control and some of them really should not have been sent there. Also appears to be disciplinary issues in 1 Para which have never been addressed - given the Ballymurphy massacre, the armed robbery of a Belfast post office by two paras and another para dishonourably discharged for selling weapons to the UVF - all by men of the same battalion in the same tour in NI! Some of the battalion later became mercenaries in Angola and one (who doesn’t appear to have been at Bloody Sunday), the notorious Callan, one of the post office burglars, was executed there for mass-murder. There is also a suggestion somewhere that the man known as Soldier G died (or killed, who knows) in Angola too, though the circumstances haven’t come to light yet.

First 2 people shot by the army on the day. Damien Donaghy finally confesses that he was picking up a smoking object (possibly a CS cartridge/rubber bullet) when he was hit. Lord Saville accepts that both soldiers who fired upon him genuinely believed he was a nail bomber and that their belief was reasonable in the circumstances (the second man shot was standing nearby and was hit by rounds that either missed or went through Donaghy) webarchive.nationalarchives.gov.uk/20101017060831/report.bloody-sunday-inquiry.org/volume02/chapter018/ 3. OIRA 4 confesses to being ‘Father Daly’s gunman’, the terrorist seen by the Catholic Bishop of Londonderry and other witnesses on the march firing a pistol at the soldiers as they entered the area. Even got a photo of him with the gun. Also civilian witnesses back up Sergeant O’s account of trading shots with a gunman in the Rossville Flats. webarchive.nationalarchives.gov.uk/20101017060831/report.bloody-sunday-inquiry.org/volume04/chapter058/ 4. Numerous civilian witnesses back up Private 017’s account of exchanging fire with a terrorist armed with a pistol in Rossville Street leaving Saville to pronounce; ‘in the end we are sure that he did, as he described, encounter a man with a handgun after Corporal P had fired. We are also sure that this gunman then fired one or more shots, possibly at Private 017’ Most interesting is the evidence given by Margeret McMenamin especially given how the Saville inquiry revealed how many of the marchers had blatantly lied in their evidence in the years before, especially Ivan Cooper, the march leader, Saville deciding it was ‘unwise to place any reliance on what Ivan Cooper has told us’. “As we were running away, I saw a civilian with a gun. I hate myself for saying this; I have never told anybody about this before, not even my husband and we have been married for over 25 years. I feel disloyal to the innocent men who died on Bloody Sunday, but I did see him and I feel that the truth must now be told’ Surely hope for the Shamrock Awakening when people like her are finally prepared to break away from the Irish Nationalist consensus and tell the truth? webarchive.nationalarchives.gov.uk/20101017060831/report.bloody-sunday-inquiry.org/ volume04/chapter058/ 5.

One of the dead, an admitted IRA member found in possession of nail bombs. After an exhaustive inquiry Saville concludes; ‘there is no evidence of any kind that indicates that any soldier or soldiers present there could have planted the nail bombs and, in our view, any suggestion to the contrary is unsustainable’. webarchive.nationalarchives.gov.uk/20101103103930/report.bloody-sunday-inquiry.org/volume07/chapter145/ 7.

Official IRA admit their gunman ‘Red’ Mickey Doherty exchanged shots with the Royal Anglian Regiment at the Palace Ballroom, Royal Artillery soldiers at the Mex garage exchange fire with gunmen attacking their position (Patrick Ward a self-confessed IRA member admitting he and two others attacked them) and was wounded in return plus gunman identified by marchers and journalists firing by Long Tower church. webarchive.nationalarchives.gov.uk/20101017060831/report.bloody-sunday-inquiry.org/volume08/chapter151/#the-report So Irish Nationalists can take all their lies about it being some unprovoked massacre and shove them.

I mean of course this fucking disgusting. Nothing like this should ever happen, but it did and nothing, no apologies will change this. But we need to move on from this, and work on being allies. Hate and resentment will lead to nowhere. The fact is all these soldiers who commit the atrocities and the IRA that carried out terror attacks are all dying or dead. The majority are old men.

Ok. I’m just gonna say this to even things out. Yes, it was wrong to shoot at the unarmed civilians. And Yes, it was was wrong for the PIRA to open fire on the Brits, as they practically started this. However, in the Brit’s defense, they were scared, as they had been fired upon, and were panicking. The Protesters are not innocent either, as they threw rocks at the British troops, and escalated things from bad to worse. So in a nutshell, this was the climax of ‘The Troubles’ and the end of the Civil Right’s Movement.

[@user-qi5jw2hg1c]

Read the Saville Report. All you have said is utter bullshit. PIRA weren't involved in Bloody Sunday at all. No one contests this. And ultimately, let's not forget, there would have been NO IRA necessary had it not been for British imperialism. English warmongering scum are the root cause of any so called evil the IRA ever done

@@lacosta0892 the british army had 'their reasons' for cold-blooded murder on bloody Sunday, 'bro'? Are you tapped in the head?

[@HydroSnips]

@@user-qi5jw2hg1c Actually that’s not true, Saville said they could not prove PIRA were involved but they could not rule it out given the paucity of PIRA coming forward to give evidence (ignoring the wishes of the families) and the number of civilian witnesses who do mention civilian gunmen on the scene in 1972. They could also not explain a large gap in the chronology of McGuinness’ evidence nor several instances where it appeared PIRA had influenced some coming forward to give evidence. The bloody Paras co-operated more than PIRA did. But then given how embedded the day is in PIRA’s mythology about itself, they have as much to hide as the Paras do ;) Several members of OIRA did go on the record as having fired - several were witnessed by others as firing and one was even photographed with a pistol and gave evidence that he fired (OIRA 4). One, OIRA 1, fired a round (the ‘Drainpipe shot’) that many Paras remember as seeing & hearing as the first shot they heard that day, before they even deployed and which influenced their mindset - and this is what they said in the years before OIRA 1 came forward and said he had fired at them in that position. The exact sequence of events is impossible to discern but it was around the time of the shots fired at Damien Donaghy and John Johnston, the first British shots of the day. Who fired first is hard to discern, and evidence exists to support both. So it is not true to say no IRA member was involved, and it is impossible to say that Saville exonerates the PIRA as they did not co-operate enough to allow this statement to be made. What is apparent is that yes, Republican elements were in the area and yes did fire - some admitted they did, others were witnesses doing so. The crucial matter - the grownup, non-agenda matter - is whether single gunmen firing either before or during the resulting action in any way shape or form justifies the violent response or justifies the so-called Security Forces shooting dead 13 unarmed civilians, many of whom in circumstances way outside the rules of engagement at the time. The answer to that question is NO IT DOES NOT. Full stop. But let’s drop the ‘PIRA = Saints who honoured their word’ routine and finally have some honesty, then we might have a proper peace at last.

[@user-qi5jw2hg1c]

@@HydroSnips One particular soldier's evidence was that there were no legitimate targets. He wrote it all in his diaries, and it was most convenient for a British inquiry to brand him a 'wretched witness'. In any event, the report found there were no instances that it could be said the paras even 'might' have been justified in shooting any of the shots accounted for. The evidence in relation to PIRA members being present, shot, and their bodies brought away was deemed as unlikely. The soldiers were found by majority to have told untruths during the inquiry. The drainpipe shot- what of it? It has been used as evidence to suggest it riled the paras up, and that they believed- as was true- they were infiltrating a no-go zone in the city and putting an end to that notion. That does not escape the irresistible fact that no soldier was justified in opening fire. Edit: in response to your edit, please do not suggest I have any love for the PIRA, because I do not. I am not a republican. I am simply contrasting the positive evidence of murder of civilians by the paras with the grey areas of possible PIRA involvement.
