  Paul B,
  You ask if there is going to be any justice,why?? Will you be happy to see proceedings drag on for another 38 years??
  There has to come a time when the nation says enough of this and let us go forward.
  Before any one starts banging there dustbin lids, (an early warning system in the bogside at the time)
  Let the nation say sorry to those who have suffered and if necessary compensate them. How ever we should not lose sight of the circumstances that led to this incident. The systematic imposition of religious intolerance from both sides, the ejection of innocent people from there homes purely on religious grounds the attack,and murder of british soldiers in the name of freedom, despite the repeated requests of both religious communities for the intervention of the british army. this is how northern Ireland expressed its thanks for the lives lost on there behalf.
  It would crass stupidity to say that in the year 2010 those "friendly revelers" of 1972 were only playing a game of catchy, catchy, with the troops, when in fact what they would have done was kill any squaddy they could lay there hands on
  as happenned to those two corporals in a car who drove into an IRA march and were dragged from the car and brutally murdered. Correct me if I am wrong but I do believe the bodies of those two victims were hung from lamp posts as a warning to the locals not to help the british army protect them,how ironic.
  So in conclusion lets face the facts if the people of N Ireland had not been the cause of the troubles then it follows that there would have been no need for british squaddies to be on the streets
