#OTD in 1972 – In what is to become known as Bloody Sunday, the British Army kills 13 civil rights demonstrators in the Bogside district of Derry. A 14th marcher later dies of his injuries.

Thirteen people were shot and killed when British paratroopers opened fire on a crowd of civilians in Derry. Fourteen others were wounded, one later died. The marchers had been campaigning for equal rights such as one man, one vote. Despite initial attempts by British authorities to justify the shootings including a rushed report by Lord Widgery exonerating the troops, the Saville Report which…

On This Day In History

November 21st, 1920: "Bloody Sunday" during the Irish War of Independence. Members of the Irish Republican Army (IRA) assassinate a number of British intelligence officers. In total, they killed or wounded 15 people, including at least two civilians.

In response, British forces raided a Gaelic football match in order to cordon and search it; without warning they opened fire. 14 civilians, including two children, were killed and at least 20 more were wounded.

A total of five Irishmen (four IRA members and one civilian) would be killed in response to this: two IRA members and the civilians were captured, beaten, and shot that same day, two IRA members were hanged the next year.

ok so i have just discovered that there is a cocktail -an actual cocktail that exists in real life- called the IRISH CAR BOMB the- they named a cocktail after a type of weapon used in the troubles in Ireland!!!! I mean dude real the room (for context to those who don't know much about the troubles imagine ordering a 'trade center attack' at the bar)

So then my immediate thought was "who in the hell decided to ok that idea?" So I searched it up. Three guesses who.

The English!!! The god damn bloody English! So then I was mad cause I was like, you don't see bars in Ireland selling "bloody sunday" drinks. And I was right, then don't but do you know who did?????

Coming soon: final chapter of A Little Risk

“Padfoot and I were always top of the class when it came to rhetoric and debating,” James said, sounding smug.

“Oh I could beat you in a debating contest, on any topic,” Sirius looked at Remus as though throwing him a gauntlet.

“I would challenge you to a battle of wits, but I see you are unarmed,” Remus replied, flicking some dust from Sirius’ jacket.

“Prongso thinks I’m a wit,” Sirius’ eyes lit up in delight at the reply.

“Well, he’s half right,” Remus patted Sirius’ thigh in condolence as Lily turned around and grinned at him.

“I say, a bit harsh, what?” James cackled from the front seat.

“Ah yes, words of wisdom from his other half,” Lily looked at Remus, left eyebrow raised.

“The other half of his wit?” Remus asked innocently.

Friendly reminder: the second inquiry into the 1972 Bloody Sunday deaths of 14 unarmed men merely declared them posthumously innocent. It did NOT charge their murderers, who still walk free.

#i was up in derry a few weeks back #visited the guildhall #the majority of the exhibit was on the history of derry as a plantation #but shoved away in a little corner was a bit about Bloody Sunday. there was a little video that i watched (in spite of the german tourists) #at the formal reading of the innocence i remember tearing up a bit. until the above occured to me #how fucking disgraceful is it? how fucking insulting? “oh you got murdered while unarmed but he hoo ur innocent!” #maybe fucking charge the murderers #aaaaaaaanyways #tiocfaidh ár lá #ira #up the provos #irish republican army #irish republican brotherhood #up the ra

È il 30 gennaio. Quel maledetto 30 gennaio 1972. Non un giorno come un altro. È il giorno della vergogna, del disprezzo, della rabbia. È il giorno in cui si compie il massacro nella cosiddetta “Bloody Sunday” (domenica di sangue). A Derry durante una marcia di protesta organizzata dalla Northern Ireland Civil Rights Association (NICRA), i soldati del primo battaglione del Reggimento Paracadutisti dell’Esercito britannico aprono il fuoco uccidendo quattordici manifestanti disarmati. Quel giorno a Derry, nel quartiere del Bogside, avvenne qualcosa di tristemente significativo. Un evento tanto drammatico da trasformarsi in uno spartiacque, un confine, una svolta nel conflitto: tantissimi giovani abitanti nei quartieri nazionalisti del Nord dell'Irlanda, ragazzi di Dublino e di altre città dell’isola, sconcertati da quell’inaccettabile violenza subìta, decisero di ingrossare le file dei gruppi paramilitari dell’Esercito Repubblicano Irlandese. A seguito dell’increscioso evento fu condotta l’inchiesta “Widgery Tribunal”, tanto veloce quanto ignobilmente pilotata: le deposizioni dei paracadutisti giustificarono l’operato dell’esercito, costretto a reagire al fantomatico attacco dei rivoltosi. La seconda inchiesta, la cosiddetta “Saville Inquiry”, istituita nel 1998, ribaltó in sostanza quanto stabilito inizialmente: le vittime erano state provocate da un fuoco ingiustificabile. Inaccettabile, imperdonabile. No armi, no minacce, nessuna provocazione.

Nonostante tutto, ad oggi nessuno ha pagato. Ancora nessuna giustizia.

30 gennaio 1972. Never forget. 🇮🇪⛓️✊️

#OTD in 1972 – As eleven victims of Bloody Sunday are buried, the British Embassy in Dublin is burned to the ground by furious demonstrators.

In Dublin, over 30,000 – 100,000 marched to the British Embassy, carrying thirteen replica coffins and black flags. They attacked the Embassy with stones and bottles, then petrol bombs. The building was eventually burnt to the ground. The three days after the Derry massacre were marked by work stoppages and demonstrations in villages, towns and cities across the State. Walk-outs and marches were…

January 30, 1972

British soldiers open fire on 26 unarmed civilians during a peaceful protest march in Derry, Northern Ireland, resulting in 14 deaths. The incident inspires Paul McCartney to write "Give Ireland Back To The Irish" (Wings' debut single) and gives rise to the U2 song "Sunday Bloody Sunday."
