A crowd of bloodthristy British paratroopers decides to use civil rights marchers as target practice, advancing on the fleeing crowd after the first barrage and shooting from the hip as the people ran and then British courts let them go. Barbaric.

On Sunday January 30, 1972, in an incident since known as Bloody Sunday, 13 unarmed men and boys were shot dead by British paratroopers after a civil rights march in the Bogside area of the city of Derry, Northern Ireland. The march was organized by Derry Stormont MP Ivan Cooper to protest the internment of Irishmen, predominantly Catholic, in Northern Ireland.

It is regularly said that this event triggered 30 years of IRA violence. While the start of the IRA's war against British rule had begun three years previously prior to Bloody Sunday, the IRA had been a much smaller and weaker organization. Graffiti in Belfast prior to Bloody Sunday famously stated that IRA stood for I Ran Away. Memory of Bloody Sunday overshadows most other violent instances in the history of the recent troubles of Northern Ireland, arguably because it was carried out by the British Government and not paramilitaries.
