Some want British soldiers to be prosecuted for role in 14 killings in Derry in 1972

, who deplored Bradley’s comments, says even after the liberation of the Saville report he is still carrying a lot of anger in his heart over the death of his brother Michael, who was 17 when he was shot dead on Bloody Sunday. “I am hoping that if there are prosecutions that it will lift the anger from us and people can get on with the rest of their lives,” he says.

“We felt a deep emotion that day; four families seeing the killer of their loved one for the very first time. It was like hell listening to what he said and didn’t say,” he says. John McKinney, as an eight-year-old and the youngest in the family, remembers his brother William, the eldest in the family, walking out to the civil rights march on Bloody Sunday with his stills and cine cameras strapped on, and wanting to go along with him. “He said, ‘No, you have to stay with your mother’.”

Boris Johnson defends British soldiers over 'travesty of a Bloody Sunday trial' | JOE.ieEx-British soldiers could reportedly face Bloody Sunday murder charges and Johnson thinks this is a case of politics trumping justice Seems crazy after 50 years, IMO they all should of been locked up right after the incident. I suppose after 50 years the families of the innocent people slaughtered will get some closure. I'll bet the story is much bigger and will be huge over the next few years. This is being done at the same time pub bombings are being reinvestigated. Can't do one without the other.
