Those hi-tec trainers are shocking, they we’re shocking in the 80’s too. No excuse for hi-tec trainers.

i’m want to know more about this photo. Wondering if there’s any relation between masked IRA patrol and family on the right…. OP, source?

So…how often did they run into the British Army? And what generally happened? I’m assuming the IRA patrols were more for show, PR, etc.

I feel like the Loyalists would use this picture with a caption “IRA member getting ready to gun down a family of 5” or some shit

It occurs to me that there’s not much point in hiding menacingly behind a wall when your rifle barrel is clearly visible above the wall and announcing your exact position.
There are lots of these photos but they were inevitably staged for media and propaganda.

What’s a good historical book covering all this? Americans know very little of any of this stuff. See “Irish car bomb” in any bar across the country for details.
