how can this massacre of 11 unarmed civilians by the british army parachute regiment stay hidden and swept under the rug for so many years now? when will there be justice? I doubt its forgotten in Ireland but around the world and in the u.s.a. most have never heard ballymurphy. it is a prime example of what a tyranical goverment will do to its citizens when they have all the power,and guns.

The biggest issue, though, is that it is less an example (in my opinion) of what a 'tyrannical government will do to its citizens', than an example of what happens when a government reacts to terrorism by using violence. Sounds a bit like a 1970s "War on Terror" to me.
