you are hung up on the ira vs crowd control. you support the shooting of these poor people for throwing rocks? the demonstration was no different than hundreds throughout all countries. Most forces use crowd control methods to direct and break up the crowd with gas, water etc. not bullets. "Perhaps it was badly handled, but it didn't look all that bad to me". We differ in evaluation of the british troops reactions to women, children, clergy and kids throwing rocks and being murdered. I believe they should have been prosecuted for murder. "Ever since Bloody Sunday massacre in 1972, British Army was rarely used to control the protests and riots. On 30 January 1972, soldiers of the British Army shot twenty-six unarmed civil-rights protesters and bystanders. Lord Saville of Newdigate determined after twelve years of inquiry and research that all of those shot were unarmed, and that the killings were both "unjustified and unjustifiable." Deploying army against civilians can never end any other way"
