Ballymurphy Massacre Inquest - murdered people were not IRA terrorists

The Ballymurphy verdict shows the need to examine the unresolved killings of the Troubles | Malachi O'Docherty

Finally, the families of 10 victims have vindication. But the British government shouldn’t be avoiding justice in Northern Ireland, says author Malachi O’Doherty

10 people murdered by the Paras at the start of the troubles. The government then covered up the massacre by accusing the fallen of being IRA gunmen. Lies.

The regiment was then shifted to Derry where they were responsible for the Bloody Sunday massacre a few weeks later. They killed 13 people there and got away with it by claiming they were fired on.

Its 50 years that the families have lived with this and there are still hopes that someone will be brought to justice. They should not hold their breath. The main culprit in spreading the lie appears to be

General Sir Michael David Jackson, GCB, CBE, DSO, DL
​

Former head of the British Army. It was his work as a young officer to report the version of events that his superiors were pushing. A tory government is unlikely to take action against this lying shit , not least because they are drafting legislation to protect soldiers from historical prosecutions from outrages in Belfast.

UK to introduce law governing prosecution of soldiers

They were IRA (terrorist) supporters. That's good enough.

Rot in hell, terrorist scum.

Have a day off from your peculiar brand of British self-loathing, Tommy Testicle.

By the way: Everyone speaks always only about the IRA in context of terrorism in Ireland - but what was/is the name of the terrorists in Ireland from the British side?

Nope. The inquest has decided that they werent and the government is in the process of apologising to them. You and your foul tribe being the cause of the troubles in the first place.

Both sides acted criminally.

Both sides acted criminally.

There were no sides when this happened.. It would be the equivalent of the US Army executing MLK and the freedom marchers. These people were gunned down in their own community where they were not threatening anyone. One of them was a Priest helping a man who had been shot. Another was a Grandmother.

It was a huge mistake deploying the Paras to Northern Ireland, the regiment was trained as an elite strike force, to use maximum agression in any conflict. They were not trained in counter-insurgency techniques(to be fair the regular army at the time wasn't either). Both "massacres" in recent Northern Irish history were carried out by the Parachute Regiment.

The only British soldier charged with murder over the "Bloody Sunday" killings of 13 unarmed Catholic civil rights marchers in Northern Ireland in 1972 will not face trial, prosecutors said on Friday.

The governments tacit approval of murdering bastards continues.
