They reversed pretty fast to be fair, but the route was either blocked by people who they may not have wanted to run down (they didn't shoot thier guns so I believe that to be true)....or ira taxis.



Surrounded, so pulled out thier gun..That's when the crowd backs off..but they didn't shoot..(I believe).. perhaps expecting a severe beating rather than the humiliating death they suffered..

Must have taken something not to shoot, tbh, even I at a young age remember the footage and papers the next day it was just so awful.

Oh a gun shot was heard....they blamed that on the corporals.BUT.

It was confirmed via post-mortem that Corporal Wood was shot twice in the head and four times in the body as well as being stabbed 4 times in the neck. Corporal Howes was shot once in the head and four times in the body. So why would you shoot the one that's been stabbed 4 times in the neck twice in the head and the other one just once?

Didn't one of them shoot his gun into the air, at first to make them back off ? when he could have easily shot a few and they may have escaped.

That is the bit that doesn't make sense to me..I've seen pictures of him leaning out the window with the gun but he had pulled it out before the window got smashed and in the footage the crowd moves back before the windows gets smashed..you then see one of the suspects smash the window which is then instantly surrounded again...the picture of the soldier hanging out the window doesn't have anyone else in the pic if I remember correctly...So the still photo and the video evidence doesn't add up to me.

I remember it well....it was sickening.

[Cherie]

Yes it was sickening just like Bloody Sunday was sickening but not one of you has commented on that thread other than to bring up this incident which is quite insulting in my view, and this is what a hard border which will resurrect, so when you say you want a no deal Brexit look forward to more of this

They even forced a priest holding them as they lay bleeding, to leave before they tossed thier naked tortured bodies over a high wall to waiting taxis.
