This guy just doesn’t get it. I have an acquaintance from Northern Ireland I speak with occasionally. We were in a parking lot one day discussing matters when a squad car drove by. He looked over at me and said “You see that shit? That shit would never happen, that motherfucker would never be able to drive down the road like that. We never gave them anything for free. He would be getting shot at or having rocks or bottles thrown at him. It doesn’t matter where they went, we made sure nothing was free. We knew who was doing that shit, dragging people from there houses or breaking in and killing them. They could say what they wanted but we had proof that they were behind it and we made damn sure that not one life that was lost was for free” I asked him his thoughts on the current situation and he replied that if things continued on their current path, that he could see the same thing happening here. So what is the lesson here? It’s easy, the tyranny of the British and the slaughter of innocents did nothing to instill fear in the residents of Derry. Their “Legal” oppression had quite the opposite effect. Entire areas of the countryside became NO GO zones, places so dangerous that they dare not enter. Yes, these men also had to fear police entering their homes at night and murdering them and their families. Yes , they were on a list compiled by the the state for persecution, but it did not stop them. Oppression sometimes has a strange effect. Some men when righteous, will not stop, will not submit, will not give up while their body still holds one breath. When laws lose their their basis in righteousness, it turns the tables and gives that over to those who they are being used against. A righteous man will not flee. A righteous man will not fear. A righteous man will create free Derry.
Think it will be for free? Think again.
