Derry and the riots


I could remember around 1996 about the riots in Derry as well as Belfast.  when you walked through the Bogside, the night was lit everywhere by the flames of vehicles and petrol (gasoline) bombs.  There was a bread delivery van that was hijacked by a group of individuals.  They used vehicles to form some sort of barricade against the RUC.

One of my friend's told me that there was one guy who heard footsteps behind him and his jacked was thrown opened and had a gun under his ribs.  The person who had the gun had a mask on his and was cussing and screaming, something to do with taking pictures.  But he didn't give a fuck but played it off walking away and still took photographs.

This whole event went until all hours of the night until like 2 or 3 in th morning.
