Some elements of an Irish mob in those days was likely to be armed, the IRA was active and at ‘war’ trying to kill soldiers. Ulster was a nasty place to be and those nationalist murderers seem to have got away with their murders.
Why not allow facts get in way of reality.

How many members of OIRA/PIRA/INLA/UVF/UDA/LVF etc etc were charged and went to jail for killings. How many members of Security forces ?

The table below shows 3,593 deaths, Republican Paras - 2001, Loyalist Paras - 983, Security forces - 382. Of the 382, 208 are classified as civilians.
