    I appreciate the work of uploading amazing works of journalism and documenting history. Thank you, ATL, for making this Dutch American more informed and aware of the history, ongoing impact, cultures, viewpoints and experiences of all citizens of Republic of Ireland & Northern Ireland (loyalists and republicans both).

      @Freddygotfingered84 agreed but the problem was the laws only applied to some and the state was involved in alot of these murders to some extent, so in a way some groups were above the law and operated with impunity.

      @koeman1873 Loyalists started the conflict their only aim was hatred, discrimination ,murder and mahem. At the start of the conflict all republicans wanted was civil rights and defence in their areas against Loyalist murder mobs but in the end IRA fought the British to stale mate , a few hundred men against British army, RUC, Loyalist death squads , SAS ,mi5 .. and all in collusion together. And they were undefeated even if they didn't achieve every goal. The British themselves admitted the IRA could not be defeated so what's there to be embarrassed about. Inflicted nearly 4 times as much enemy casualties than they lost.

    Unless you lived through these era you have no concept of what it was like. I grew up with the guns and bombs it became almost normal. The British putting the paras on the streets was the worst mistake the British government ever made or so I thought. Maggie then deployed the SAS. Remarkably times, I’m happy there is now peace, but the anger still boils under the surface.
