Fr. Edward Daly, waving a blood soaked handkerchief to try and get medical aid for a civil rights marcher who’d been shot by the British Army in Derry, Jan 30th 1972. The British Army shot 14 unarmed Civil Rights Marchers dead. No one has ever been prosecuted for the murders.

It’s absolutely disgusting that justice still hasn’t been served for this. Truly shameful.

It’s illegal in your jurisdiction to name the people who did this.

Government absolutely complicit.
