Reflecting on the 25th anniversary of the Holy Cross protest

[TooBigForMyBoots]

It's the 25th anniversary of the Holy Cross "protest".

Where children were repeatedly and deliberately targeted, terrorised and traumatised on their way to school.

By British adults.

In the UK.

In the 21st century.

I can still remember how shocked I was that parents would put children through that

Catholic children / education, was worth nothing to the scummy coked up "adults" who targeted their violence and intimidation against wee girls going to school.

At that time, I had 3 primary aged catholic school children, they would have been kept home

I know.

What sort of freak tries to stop wee girls going to school?

I'm not really sure what your point is here@Ginasonabendernow

You're sounding a bit victim-blamey at this point.

Victim-blamey?

My wee catholic children would not have been doing that walk to school,

Politics/religion do not count when you have to keep your children safe from harm,

I wonder how the children feel about it now

Yes. Victim-blamey.

The children did nothing wrong.
Their parents did nothing wrong.
The violent, coked up, loyalist scumbags assaulting wee school girls, their parents, soldiers and police officers are the one's to blame.

I agree, the children did nothing wrong,

All the adults involved were wrong

No they weren't.

All the adults who targeted and assaulted children going to school, their parents, the police, clergy and soldiers were wrong. The law breaking, loyalist, sectarian scumbags bear all the blame.

Most of the adults were normal and sane.

Stop blaming the victims and those who did their best to protect them @Ginasonabendernow.

The problem is that people commemorating and resurrecting past troubles will only serve to keep these pointless childish feuds going.

Yes, stupid actions were taken by stupid adults but you need to let it go.

Otherwise, you’re perpetuating this nonsense for another generation to participate in and endure. And for why? 🤷🏻‍♀️

I live in Ireland (rebel county) and have no tolerance for any religious dogma.

Ah right, dont talk about it? Is that what you're saying? And what does the fact you live in Cork got to do with anything?

The security fences are only just coming down now.
