Bloody Sunday deaths: Police to launch a murder inquiry 40 years after 13 people were shot dead by soldiers | Mail Online

It may take four years but I for one will be very Interested In their findings.

The police publish findings?

The police will either prosecute or not prosecute, they won't publish findings.

The police won't prosecute.

So I guess that pig video wasn't appreciated. Kind of off topic, I guess.

I remember the attitude at the time and there really was not a lot of sympathy - if you are stupid enough to open fire on paratroopers you can only expect them to fire back. British troops at the time were not trained to deal with civil unrest they were trained to kill. Hindsight is a wonderful thing. I

So what do you think Is behind a new murder Inquiry now? I have to say I'm perplexed. Public pressure maybe? New evidence ?

Saville said it was 1 Para which began the shooting and that none of the forty or so people killed or injured by the military handled a weapon - "firing back" implies those hit had been firing, and Saville says otherwise.

The reason I don't click on video clips is that I don't think it's a fit subject for attempted humour.
