British Justice: Only Soldiers Can Get Away With Murder
A Belfast judge acquitted a former British soldier, 'Soldier F,' of murder and attempted murder charges from the 1972 Bloody Sunday massacre. The ruling, citing a 2022 UK Supreme Court decision, deemed the evidence against him inadmissible. Fifty-two years after British paratroopers gunned down 13 unarmed civil rights marchers in Derry, and injured 15 more, the British state finds yet another
legal loophole to evade accountability. This isn't justice; it's a meticulously crafted legal shield to protect state violence against its own citizens. The Saville Inquiry, which cost nearly £200 million and took 12 years, concluded in 2010 that the killings were 'unjustified and unjustifiable.' Despite this, and then-Prime Minister David Cameron's apology, no British soldier has ever been
successfully prosecuted. We see a clear pattern: when governments commit atrocities, their legal systems often serve as whitewash committees. How reassuring for any government to know its soldiers can commit murder with impunity, provided enough time and legal maneuvering?
