Paula & Shaner: Good report & pics on an action which still needs to go on until what happened that Sunday is admitted.
The difference between the atrocities of the like committed on Bloody Sunday and other killings of civilians during the conflict, is that the people killed in Derry were peaceful protesters, attempting to sway government policy by the time honoured tradition of marching and making speeches, and their government responded by sending in assault troops to kill them.
The British government then blackened the names of the dead by saying they were criminals, terrorists and whatever, while the soldiers and officers who carried out the murders were promoted, rewarded, and presented with medals by the British Royal Family.
There is big difference in being killed by a terrorist bomb, and being killed by your own government. Taxes paid by those murdered had contributed to pay for the bullets which killed them. What do you call it when a government, instead of protecting its citizens, begins to murder them? We called it the end.
You should also bear in mind that many would argue that the extreme violence of the likes of the Birmingham bombing was only possible BECAUSE of Bloody Sunday.
In the USA , the government embraced the civil rights marchers and faced down the bigoted local politicians of the Southern states. The British government did the opposite, supporting the bigots and the murderers and destroying the idea of marching for civil rights in Ireland by shooting it off the streets in Derry.
