50 Years Since Bloody Sunday
30 January 1972
10,000 marchers take to the streets of Derry, Ireland to protest against the British policy of internment, which meant any member of the public could be imprisoned without trial on suspicion of being part of a paramilitary organisation.
British soldiers open fire on the crowd of innocent civilians, killing 14. Many were shot with their backs turned, running away from the soldiers.
It was the highest number of people killed in a shooting incident during the conflict and is considered the worst mass shooting in Northern Irish history.
Bloody Sunday fuelled Catholic and Irish nationalist hostility towards the British Army and support for the Provisional IRA rose
Patrick Doherty, 31. Shot from behind while attempting to crawl to safety. Murdered by 'Soldier F'.
Gerry Donaghy, 17. Shot in the stomach while standing behind Gerard McKinney. Soldiers planted four nail bombs in his pockets to justify the killings.
Jackie Duddy, 17. Shot as he ran away from soldiers. Three witnesses said they saw a soldier take deliberate aim at him as he ran.
Hugh Gilmour, 17. Shot as he ran away from soldiers.
Michael Kelly, 17. Shot in the stomach while standing at the rubble barricade. Murdered by 'Soldier F'.
Michael McDaid, 20. Shot in the face while going to the aid of William Nash.
Kevin McElhinney, 17. Shot from behind while attempting to crawl to safety.
Barney McGuigan, 41. Shot in the back of the head when he walked out from cover to help Patrick Doherty. He had been waving a white handkerchief. Murdered by 'Soldier F'.
Gerry McKinney, 35. Shot in the chest by 'Private G'. Witnesses said that when he saw the soldier, McKinney stopped and held up his arms, shouting, "Don't shoot! Don't shoot!", before being shot. The bullet apparently went through his body and struck Gerard Donaghy behind him.
William McKinney, 26. Shot in the back as he attempted to flee. Murdered by 'Soldier F'.
William Nash, 19. Three people were shot while going to his aid, including his father Alexander Nash.
Jim Wray, 22. Shot in the back while running away from soldiers. He was then shot again in the back as he lay mortally wounded on the ground. Witnesses stated he was calling out that he could not move his legs before he was shot the second time. Murdered by 'Soldier F'.
John Young, 17. Shot in the face while crouching and going to the aid of William Nash.
John Johnston, 59. Shot in the leg and left shoulder on William Street fifteen minutes before the rest of the shooting started. Johnston was not on the march, but on his way to visit a friend.
Despite the British state issuing an apology in 2010, no soldier has ever been prosecuted for their involvement.
The same paratroopers murdered 11 innocent civilians outside their homes in Ballymurphy months earlier, including a priest who had been administering last rights to a dying man.
This is honest to god the funniest thing I have ever seen in my entire life
hey alice! Do you have plans for any future book/books or what you'll do after heartstopper?
I'm pretty sure that the first thing I'll do after finishing Heartstopper will be to write the IWBFT sequel. But that's literally it, I don't have any other plans, and I will definitely be taking a huge break lasting many months (genuinely referring to it as a sabbatical in my head)
hey remember before volume 2 came out we thought karen wheeler was going to be important to the plot, someone else would find out about the upside down, someone would get powers, will’s sexuality was “going to be explored” and possibly mike’s, will would get vecna’d, that any other character would get vecna’d, robin would save nancy because she saw her tapes, there was going to be a “traitor” in the group, the guidance counselor might be significant, steve was jumping down the bedsheet to save eddie, main character(s) would die, but eddie would live since the duffer brothers keep introducing characters and killing them off maybe they wouldn’t do it again, eddie’s name would be cleared, and everyone would reunite and work together to beat vecna, and remember when we thought

im sorry for snapping its just that (AND I SAY THIS AS A LESBIAN WHO WEARS A JOAN OF ARC PENDANT 24/7) jeanne d’arc was a victim of rape in prison cells by reality, but only an lgbt icon by modern projection. even in jokes the second can never overshadow the first.
