  1. Yesterday i believe, british prime minister spoke up and took responsibility for the 38 year old 'bloody sunday massacre in northern ireland. After decades of lieing and a 17 year investigation spending 200million pounds sterling finally the families can have peace and clear the names of the slain. Commend U2 for SBS and keeping it fresh in the minds of people decades later.. I think SBS synonomous with the name U2. and can only imagine perhaps the closure the people of ireland are feeling.

    Reminds me of SBS in RattleandHum. The Enniskillen bombings Bono in the middle of SBS completely went off and gave a performance i can never forget. Its a good day..

  2. I saw video footage of people (relatives/friends of victims) watching the press conference on a big screen. Shivers.
  3. the truth after 38 years will surely be a relief for those affected.

    Will there be prosecutions though?
  4. Didn't the IRA blow up loads of innocent people too?


  5. terrorists doing terrible things is one thing. What we are dealing with here is state murder. Entirely different
  6. I don't really know, I'm just asking...


  7. Ahh. Bloody Sunday was a case of where unarmed civilians were shot dead by the governments army. State ordered and highly contentious. The facts have been known all this time but it's taken 40 years for an apology.

    The IRA are a terrorist group and govern themselves. They saw themselves as being involved in a war and did many terrible things as part of that war. The British Army in Derry on Bloody Sunday were meant to be a stand in police force. What they were instead was wreckless and murderers.
  8. Maybe Bono will stop singing this song now (like he said he would every night back in 87)
  9. So the government ordered the army to fire on innocent civilians or did the army just panic or do it anyway?


  10. The army were given orders to shoot. The government own the army. How high up the order came from will probably never be revealed. This was the Paratroop division too. One of the army's finest apparently
  11. Watch that film Greengrass once made. A good one.


  12. The second as I recall. I read a book on it a few years back. It was called "Those are Real Bullets" or something like that. A refrence to the fact that the soldiers were armed with rubber bullets. When using weapons loaded with such, its still very possible to kill someone.
