No shit.
By 12 years after commencing work, and 38 years after the event, the Saville Inquiry finds that those killed murdered or injured in the “Bloody Sunday” massacre in Derry were innocent civil rights marchers / protesters, and the shootings by soldiers of the Parachute Regiment of the British Army were unprovoked and unjustified.
Unsurprisingly, Bloody Sunday enflamed the Troubles and led to a boon in recruitment for the provisional IRA, in effect legitimizing it in the eyes of many in the Republican and Nationalist communities, while simultaneously delegtimizing the British Army in the eyes of the same; ironic considering the army was originally brought in to protect the civil rights marchers and the Nationalist community from attacks by Loyalists . . .
