Subject: 61) Another very difficult chapter..ugh! It's hate and ignorance and I have no idea how to explain, justify or defend that position. It makes sense, Pat's theory about the day causing a huge influx into the IRA and making it easier for the government to get inside. It also maybe explains why Casey has been able to return to Belfast and remain fairly safe.

  • Have read about this horrible event, and always felt it was sort of like the Irish version of the U.S.'s Kent State - a real turning point, as Carla said. This is why my main interest in visiting Northern Ireland on the Shindig is to see Derry. I've always wondered if someone actually gave an order to fire, or if it was one reactionary who engaged first, and others followed. The investigation that followed this event was regarded as b.s., even by Tony Blair, iirc. (NT) -- Elaine, 05:43:20 08/29/09 Sat
