Ex-British soldiers could reportedly face Bloody Sunday murder charges and Johnson thinks this is a case of politics trumping justice
.
In 2010, Lord Saville's report on Bloody Sunday was an extensive examination into the violence that unfolded. It incorporated the orders given by commanding officers, ascertained whether protesters that were killed posed a serious threat, and evaluated the role that the IRA and state played."None of the casualties shot by soldiers of Support Company was armed with a firearm or a bomb of any description. None was posing any threat of causing death or serious injury.
"Our overall conclusion is that there was a serious and widespread loss of fire discipline among the soldiers of Support Company." Mercer said:"Justice? I'm not sure. Standards must be upheld, but charging people almost half a century after incidents which have already been investigated once already, seems wrong. Critical question for me is: any new evidence? If not, why is this being allowed."
