What other methods did you have in mind Nutloose? Bare in mind Catholics were not allowed vote, and their initially peaceful protests were attacked by the RUC. That's one of the reasons why the Army were originally sent in, to protect the Catholic population from the RUC and vigilante attacks.
I don't think everyone in Britain has a full idea of how discrimated against and subjugated the Catholic population of NI was in the run up to the Troubles.
