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.
Interesting article, quite damning of the army and the civilian powers.
I think history is telling us that, rather than the IRA etc. being widely supported before these killings, these killings actually enflamed the situation, massively boosting support for the gun-toting nutters. Nobody was shooting at the soldiers and 13 protesters were shot dead, maybe because someone shouted 'they're likely to be armed corporal, shoot them'; wow. The DPP thinks at least one man is guilty of murder, lets see if they can prove it.
