'Wright or Wrong' Counterpoint 1996 on Billy "KING RAT" Wright

[@stephenholmes1036]

Thanks for this documentary

[@dublinsfaircity]

Ian Paisley Snr instigated a lot of violence with his dangerous rhetoric. He has a lot to answer for.

[@oliver69cork46]

Agreed but gerry Adams and Martin mcguinness too-they were all guilty to a point but it was a different environment can't judge by standards today

[@spodoinklehorse]

Paisley started the troubles, he alone instigated the burning out of Bombay Street, which led to the spilt in the IRA and creation of PIRA

You have to laugh at Vincent McKenna on giving it the large one and trying to take some sort of moral high ground when at the same time he was abusing his own daughter and got three years in prison!

I'm from the South its a good documentary and TL again doing a great job

[@deadmanonleave7503]

Great find this.

[@FinnMcCool1916]

Billy watched too many gangster movies.

[@williammohan9784]

just to lighten the mood a bit, looking at Billy Wright, strange that you would never see him and Bros's Luke and Matt Goss in the same room,

[@runningamok2825]

DUP to this day still claims they were all above the violence and threats. Nice speech there WIlly...

[@colinstewart1432]

If that's true I'm amazed they weren't bollocked for not defending their people. They can't have it both ways.

[@BernardRooney-k8c]

His own people gave the provos the nod to take him out he was bigotry personified

[@TomMcNeil-wo9ji]

No part of your statement is in any way true. The INLA killed him. The British Government set him up as he was a threat to the peace process.

[@SleepLateFilm]

I believe it was INLA who shot him

[@ATroubledLand]

ATLmodK here. I have always questioned how all the pieces came together to accomplish the murder. However, I’m not sure we will ever know how it actually happened.

[@TomMcNeil-wo9ji]

@@BernardRooney-k8c The INLA killed him. He was set up alright. Republicans, loyalists and the UK Government wanted him dead. Take your pick.

[@SleepLateFilm]

@@ATroubledLand I agree it´s a strange story with the shooting taking place inside a prison

Billy was WRight. Hutch was a (unt. Him and his Shankill rd mugs killed our wee town.

I think this may be the “missing” Billy Wright documentary - the one that has Tom Petty, Won’t Back Down playing in the background of one of the montages. Can you confirm?

[@ATroubledLand]

ATLmodK here, could be I can watch it again but I think that song was in this documentary

[@ATroubledLand]

I can confirm it is.

[@portadownblue3139]

@@ATroubledLand this is the first time it has been uploaded online then. I would predict this will be one of your most watched videos.

[@michelob81]

What an absolute joke in hindsight. DUP/UVF/UDA was always a thing. They still to this day scream SF/IRA 😂

[@Albert_O_Balsam]

But it doesn't count in Willie McCreas case there, as Billy Wright clearly stated in this interview that he wasn't a member of the UVF, and I believe him 100%, Billy Hutchinson said it too, a man with the utmost integrity that never committed a sin in his whole life.

[@Albert_O_Balsam]

On a more serious note, I lived beside Mrs Rodgers for a long time and she is an intelligent and pleasant lady, what must she have thought sitting between a murderer and a nepo baby during that programme?

And robin Jackson before him, the they told Billy Hannah wife who was standing right there and he wasn't wearing a mask she said robin Jackson shot him in the head they said she must be mistaken

That's exactly what he was. Look like one and acted like one. 🇮🇪

[@williammohan9784]

along with Mad Dog McGlinchey, who was his sociopathic double in PIRA, INLA, or whatever it morphed into

[@geedee1264]

His little gang were called the "Brat Pack" Martin O'Hagan the journalist referred to him in stories as "King Rat" and he was a rat, figuratively and literally, an informer Billy hated it so much he had.OHagan shot dead, O'Hagan managed to push his wife out of the way of the drive by gunfire but died in the hail of bullets

Hutchison looks like Dale Gribble.
