Bloody Sunday?

Question

When the British Para troopers killed Irish civillians at what is now known as bloody sunday, was this a genuine mistake or a cover up by the british army? Any veiws on this?

Answer 1

clearly it's a case of cover up. if the massess and even down to the media claim no shots were fired toward the soldiers ..and the soldiers were found as having been shot at, even though no one was blamed, not one gun taken from the spectators.. and no one was held accountable.

26 civil rights protesters were shot - 12 people killed, 6 of whom were minors, 1 person ran over... had it been a shot from the crowd onto the soldiers the media would have consumed it, and exposed it for that. and even still you don't open fire on everyone for 1 shot. just madness.

no, this was a coverup. plain and simple.

Answer 2

It's not about the Holocaust. It's about the conflict between Protestants and Catholics in Northern Ireland. Songs about the Holocaust: "Dachau Blues" by Captain Beefheart "Red Sector A" by Rush

Answer 3

The British government has a LONG history of bigotry against the Irish, so I doubt that it was a "mistake."

Answer 4

I thought bloody sunday was an occurrence in the Soviet Union... hmmm maybe I should pull out my old AP Euro notes.

Answer 5

Everything is a cover up and a hog wash and the public believe the lies. Same will 911 and the Iraq war, all a hog wash. To suit their own interests.

Answer 6

It's been covered up. It was a peaceful demonstration until the soldiers opened fire

Answer 8

It's a crappy U2 song
