I don't remember this thread, the baiting usually stands out too.
I was looking for a suitable thread for this news item and this seems the most fitting.
''A British soldier was not justified in shooting dead a pregnant teenager who was sharing an embrace with her boyfriend in Belfast during the Troubles, a coroner has said.
Marian Brown, 17, did not pose a threat to anybody and the identity of the soldier who fired the lethal round still remains unknown.
"The force used by that soldier by firing in the direction of Marian Brown was not justified as it was more than was absolutely necessary."
Two members of the armed forces admitted unleashing 27 rounds in Miss Brown's direction without warning, believing they faced firing gunmen.
The coroner added: "No shot should have been fired unless an identified target could be made out and aimed at with sufficient confidence of striking the person.
"The use of force by the soldier that caused the death of Marian Brown, whoever he was, was not justified."
Army rules of engagement were not followed and there was an "inadequate" investigation afterwards, the coroner added.
Miss Brown's brother Richard Brown said he was sorry it had taken 46 years to prove something the family knew from day one.
"She was just a happy-go-lucky kid - she never got a chance."
