There was more violence on the streets of Northern Ireland Monday night as the protestant marching season went on.
The Sinn Fein chief negotiator, Martin McGuinness, was hit on the head during disturbances in the town of Bellaghy as loyalist bands prepared to march through the streets.
McGuinness didn't appear seriously hurt.
More than 100 people civilians and soldiers have been injured since Sunday.
Six of them are seriously ill.
Sinn Fein's chief negotiator Martin McGuinness appealed for calm as police and troops pulled back after Monday's parade in Bellaghy had passed off peacefully.
He said this kind of troubles only benefit the British government and the RUC.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"Listen, listen. I want you all to listen very carefully. This is exactly what these people are looking for. I am appealing to every single one of you to listen to what I have to say. Do not allow yourself to be provoqued by the RUC, by the British army. The world is seeing what is happening in Bellaghy. The world has seen what happened on the Garvaghy road. And we have to keep the focus of attention on what the British government, the RUC, and the Orange order have done. If this here tonight ends in a riot, they will have won, that's a reality, lets not give them that."
SUPER CAPTION: Martin McGuinness, Sinn Fein chief negotiator
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"I just basically asked people to be calm, peaceful and dignified. And if I can do that after being hit on the head by a RUC baton, then I think people should listen very carefully to that message. I'm prepared to be calm, I'm prepared to be peaceful and I'm prepared to be dignified and want to do the same."

What bastard hit my Marty?
Mr Sweetchuck
or perhaps you, eh, smart guy
Sort them out, Gerry.
a warm ear needed Gerry !
He was hit by a thrown object not an RUC baton
They think quick on their feet when it comes to BS
Like you'd know better than the man himself.😅
Bowler hats, white gloves, orange sashes, pipe and drum bands, and attempting to march through Catholic neighbourhoods to relive the outcome of some bloodbath in 1688: daffy in the extreme

Yes, it's lack of education. Take away their ignorance, social welfare, alcoholism, inbreeding, royalty and what have they got? sweet fuck all. soon London will desert them. . then they're the minority...
they are british on british soil dress that up how you like.
@@britnic5394 they or irish on irish soil wanting to be british get the facts right , wanting to be part of a nation that dosnt even want them , who else would do that but them lol
@@24zelock you can speak for an entire nation well done even politicians have trouble doing that. facts are facts irl agree, these people class themselves as british loyal to the queen of england, they dont align themselves to dublin. the falklands is classed as british soil as does gib etc.. they are facts..
@@britnic5394 they can class them selves what ever they like , if their born on the island of Ireland then they or irish , as for the entire nation , if their was a vote in the morning it would be in favour of geting rid of them that for sure , all but a few have no interest in their bitterness or their so called traditions and loyalty , by the way their loyalty goes out the window when things dont go their way , attack the armed forces of their loyal queen and threaten rebellion if the status quo is changed , well let me tell you this , their days or numbered and a united ireland is coming like it or not , and delaying it is all they can do but stoping it they wont , so for now they can remain in their time warp and live in the 16th century while the rest of the world moves on , just no cure for stupid
Poor oul Marty, never hurt anybody in his life - it was Art Garfunkel who was the ira leader
He’d have murdered if he could’ve got away with it.Utter vermin peasant.
@@garyr9260 yes, and that includes Irish unionists like me. Your "Ra" have been the biggest obstacle to Irish unity for many years, and now you've all missed the boat. The bomb and bullet didn't work and the little political games, trying to destroy Northern Ireland from within, won't work either.

Dignified my backside. He never knew the meaning of it. He as no statesman the same as Adams. His legacy? blood on his hands.
Everybody knows Adams was IRA through and through, and on the IRA Army Command Council. Even Dolors Price and Des Long confirmed he was an active PROVO. Don't know why he bothers denying it.
0.35. Eminem stands up and within a split second every single protester moved away from the front line. Total respect, total command. A giant among men. I'm a dirty turncoat. Raised Loyalist, moved to Oz, realised the truth and changed my stance. This man will be missed so much.
Stay in Oz then. I dont know what 'truth' you have realised but machine gun marty was a murdering **stard. may he rot in hell.
@@Drumnastix26 and what about the countless amounts of British and unionist murderers
😂😂😂😂 the real slim bounced the wall in his house shoes!!
Around AD 400 the Dál Riata peoples from the East coast of Ireland migrated over to the West coast of Scotland and settled around Argyle.
These migrants from were especially noteworthy because they were known to the Romans as "Scotti" and would eventually give their Gaelic language and their name to all of what is now known as Scotland. Eventually the Pic's who were the indigenous tribe living in the East of Scotland amalgamated with the Scotti under Cináed (Kenneth) mac Ailp'n in A.D. 844.
Seems the Irish have much more of a connection to Scotland than the Union Jack waving Rangers fans think.
@@jimreilly6933when it's all said and done we Irish and Scots are cousins, we are family.🏴💙💚🇮🇪✌🏼
A true defender of the Gaelic people, greater than Aodh Mor O'Neill and O'Donnell, etc who jumped on a boat and deserted the Gaels in 1607
A lovely tribute and so true,considering Aodh Mor O'Neill has your surname.
J. o'neill here here.
Who was to defend Catholics against the combined ranks of the Royal Ulster Constabulary, the Ulster Volunteer Force and the British Army when they were beating, torturing and even killing unemployed or low-paid Irish Catholics in the North of Ireland, including women and children? Look at Lenny Murphy and the Shankill Butchers. They regularly picked up innocent Catholics and carved them up in the back of taxis while they were still alive, using butchers' knives. For years nothing was done about them. The Irish Army and the Irish police in the Irish Republic did nothing to protect Irish Catholics from suffering brutality and daily discrimation in Ulster. The Catholics had no other option but to form a guerilla Army to prevent the Loyalists, the police and the British Army carry out a genocide against them while the Irish Government did nothing. The IRA did many despicable and horrific things, but that's what happens when an ethnic minority faces the threat of extinction.
Theroaringlion if your talking about Mr. Sweetchuck that's the English flag. The butcher's apron is usually referring to the british flag of the union jack. But i suppose it all started with the English so it can refer to both bastard flags.
Theroaringlion Over the centuries of the british empire it's many millions murdered by the british.
Why don't AP upload dates of these videos?
It’s in the description July 8 1997
Shame Martin you and Jerry did not work your political influence for peace earlier ie in 1972 instead you built up the Republican and paramilitary support in the early days creating a monster. Bloody awful situation on both sides, hate feeds hate, a lot of people died, heaps of double agents and back room deals on both sides. Your a real politician, just like Ian Paisley and Margaret Thatcher. Took 38 years to improve the situation, Ireland was an example on how not to handle civil unrest for a long time, at least you helped significantly in the peace process, I give you a big thumbs up for that. You welcome to have a beer at my pub. As a teenager in the 1970’s felt so sorry for the Irish people watching TV bombings and riots, what was it all for, such nice people.
27 people shot,14 murdered in his hometown on one day in 1972, brokering for peace at that time wouldn’t have been listened to.
Don't you mention tat tart thatcher in same line as Mac she caused wat Churchill finished hate Irish papists now your all dead not soon enough ye wasted enough air assholes lot of ye
@@dockerslowerHe probably kicked the whole thing off and covered his tracks after
“What was it all for” don’t speak on somethin if your plain ignorant lad
@@invisibleman4827”probably” isn’t good enough. Try studying history
Martin and Ian got it in the end. Don't fuck up their work!!!!
it didn't knock any sense into him, full frontal combat aint his thing, he likes them unarmed and with their back to him, coward martin
@@ryanmallett9733 check the origin of your surname you gimpo

Poor machine gun Marty, he was actually hit by a placard carried by one of the ira/sf supporters, watch it again.
Yep he sure was not by the RUC as he claims. No wonder he has the nickname the bogside butcher

Hi Marty .. How's it going ?
Good man was marty, always liked his curly hair as well
Topman can't knock a murderer

Is the IRA Ireland's army? If so it's a wonder they have not been completely taken over from the videos I have seen they launch missiles from drain pipes strapped to tractors etc. This cant be Ireland main fighting unit?
Aaron, no the PIRA are not the main army in Ireland. That would be what everyone would call the Irish Army. The PIRA which you refer to in regards to their methods of clandestine attacks in the British army and localised security force apparatus ie the RUC and UDR are an underground guerrilla army.
Some call the PIRA terrorists, while other more enlightened and open minded types call them freedom fighters. Personally, in my view, some of the more reckless and loose cannon operations that the PIRA engaged in (the ones where civilians were injured or killed in attacks) were a propaganda own-goal and godsend to the British AND Irish authorities. They did nothing but sully the cause for Irish freedom, reunification and make sectarianism worse.
In military terms, the PIRA could never fight its war on the British state in conventional terms. They didnt have the numbers, the logistics or the training to do so. While they were one of the best equipped clandestine groups in the world with great homemade technology added into the mix, they couldnt ever hope to match a much better trained, quartered and equipped army in the British. To do so wouldve been suicide and kamikaze-esque so they used the tactics of hit and run and convert landmines etc.
Different ball now ! But if the PIRA was around today then they would be using all the best tech available to them and damage and destruction would be on a another level , The clips you have watched are from 30 years ago .
@davenic9781 The murderers of civilians weren't an "own goal" or "loose cannons", they were all like this. The IRA and McGuinness were no better than ISIS. The death of Patsy Gillespie proves it.
Cried like a Baby when he was told he only had days to live
Who'd believe Marty killed ruc soilders now works with ruc soilders, let history tell you your enemies of yesterday are enemies of today, new ruc soilders, aka psni. Old ruc soilders, same agenda, dont ever forget it.
Do you eat calfnuts cas u sound lik one 😢😅

@@steveperry8031 Are you still the loyalist bigot and coward Marty McCloy of Newtownards ?
He is a martyr to the end .... UTP .
You fuckng dick
Hes a murderer and a terrorist and will be judged in hell for his actions and atrocities. He could have fought for his country in the right and proper way, NOT through bloodshed and acts of revenge, that solves nothing but only causes more pain and suffering, and division further down the line.
You are so judgmental, that was before, bring up someone's past, after they have moved forward and has helped make positive changes in his country, and is a politician, all you could do is go back to the past.....That my friend is called desperation.
NO. McGuiness' behavior in his later life was a pure act of "desperation", because men who have committed terrible acts soon change their tone when they know they are reaching their end. They become desperate for redemption, it must have kept him up alot at night all the people he killed.
It is a tough one because maybe he had truly changed his ways and was sorry for what he had done, but it just seems this only happened AFTER he had got N Ireland where he wanted it and had taken out specific individuals as part of his cause.
I would have to look him in the eye to know if this man was truly sorry for what he had done to the innocent and ofcourse that will never happen now, so yes I will judge.
desperation? No I don't think desperation more like trying to get equality for his people
If martin did not take part in the talks, and became of the irish government, Ireland would not have changed. And we would be watching footage like this and worse on the news. It's amazing I am glad that a man of war, came and brought peace. THANK YOU MARTIN. R.I.P
I think you someone thinks he's God! Judge not lest he be Judge. You must have picked up a book to read about the Freemasons....oooh no I was wrong. People like you don't read books, you watched it on TH-cam. If you picked up book, you would spouting crap out of that mouth.

Martin mcguiness has tinnutis. Obviously caused by using firearms when he was a gunman.

A "man he was." Aye. RIP
yes he was a man, just not a very good one
i put thisman rest in peace with william wallwce and james connolly 🍀🍀🍀
You dick.Google What Scotland’s most famous son,Billy Connelly has to say about Wallace. You must be an American?
They had to keep the soldiers on the streets for longer due to why they came back into Ireland the orange order brought them in and kept them in for a 30 year war due to the orange order so it’s a privilege to see the end of the orange state now the catholic’s have a voice in there own country and native tongue though still in the mist of struggle we’re blessed to see the generations that brought an end to this peace is the only winners in any conflict facts🇮🇪32
Whatever people thought of Martin I think he really tried to align with a political settlement regarding the troubles.He gained considerable opposition from the hardliners of his own side but pushed on to establish a working relationship with Ian Paisley that within itself was a incredible outcome.I have no authority regarding the troubles was not there cannot possibly have any understanding of how it feels to loose a loved one to political violence I wish no one offence.I just believe there are consequences for what we do in life and no man is immortal whatever our Religous or political tribal affiliation if we can gain equality and justice without arms it is commendable..I was deeply moved by a documentary I saw regarding victims of paramilitary violence knee capping ect from both sides on the same ward.They shared biscuits ect little acts of human kindness there was dignity in their suffering it is tragic to see a human being shot through the arms the legs reduced to being a cripple it is someone’s brother son father uncle.It takes courage to seek a peaceful settlement/resolution to such deep rooted division both sides are commended for the peace agreement for seeking to find a way forward away from hatred and violence.
He didn't want his beloved Queens crown forces attacked.
Joe Rogan I hope you're sorry for what you commented now?
Paul Dunne why would I change my mind now he's dead? He was a British agent
Joe Rogan how wrong you are,traitors like you will go to hell.
Paul Dunne how am I a traitor? I didn't kiss the Queens hole or administer British rule like mcguinness
Joe Rogan what did you do in the troubles,Yeah that's right,fuck all.You probably don't even vote,an absolute loser. All talk and no action.
Crazy times
Not a mobile phone in sight ...
Great observation
Freak
The orange order should have been put out of Bellaghy and never allowed to return. None of them live or are left in Bellaghy and they are not wanted in the town.
