The Ballymurphy Massacre
Martin Luther King junior was the inspiration For the Northern Ireland, Civil Rights association Protests were held and they marched peacefully The unionist majority tried to stop them brutally. The campaign gathered momentum it was nineteen sixty nine The unionists issued warnings that they were crossing a line Discrimination against nationalists in Northern Ireland was rife All they wanted was equal rights and to live a peaceful life The situation deteriorated and the army were deployed The unionists were now confident with England on their side But the violence escalated against the nationalist minority The IRA surfaced to protect the nationalist community. The British introduced the controversial Internment without trial And started arresting everybody that they had on file Even those with a speeding ticket were added to their list And they used brute force against anyone that tried to resist. On the eleventh and twelfth of August in nineteen seventy one The Ballymurphy estate was targeted and a roundup had begun Six hundred British soldiers, were deployed there that day Dragged out men and boys who were then taken away. Soldiers opened fire and murdered eleven innocent people in cold blood They lied saying that they were fired on and by that statement they stood Some people who went to assist the dying, they too were shot dead A soldier found a man on the ground and shot him point blank in the head. A soldier put a gun in one man's mouth as he lay on his back In a mock execution that caused, the man a fatal heart attack Those that were murdered were unarmed and posed no threat The British army acted with impunity and a precedent was set. A shoot to kill policy was in place but this was denied The authorities were determined the truth they would hide Investigators often met a wall of silence, with contradicting lies Missing files and missing witness statements came as no surprise. Finally a verdict was reached and the coroners statement said Each and every victim at Ballymurphy was unlawfully shot dead The verdict found the victims innocent but there was bittersweet tears Because the victims families challenge to the state, had taken fifty years. A former soldier who witnessed it gave evidence, and had this to say That many of the soldiers involved were like psychopaths that day Many were on a high and determined to make their first kill In their psychopathic minds it gave them some sort of thrill. Richard Dannatt who was a former chief, of the British army Described as shameful what happened, that day at Ballymurphy He concluded that a thorough investigation should have been carried out Maybe it would have opened Pandora's box of that I've no doubt.
