Kemble Pitts. I’ve no idea if he is guilty or innocent. But you questioned wether the protests were illegal. As soon as petrol bombs and bricks start flying, then I think that’s a breach of the peace and is against the law. Should you shoot? Well if you believe you are about to be killed, then that’s self defence. Cops in the USA claim this all the time and get away with it.
A bunch of young lads, armed to the teeth, were being attacked by a baying mob, it doesn’t matter if they were IRA or Women’s Institute, you had to be standing right there to judge what was illegal or not.
NOTHING condones murder, but you need good reliable evidence to prove it. Reliability might be difficult
