As Mairia Cahill herself would tell you, that is what happens when the responsible state stands over and supports a sectarian, bigoted and untrusted police force, supported by local British Army militias and the British Army itself. It would happen again tomorrow if the government were not held to account and would be a similar tragedy to the last time it happened.
