      @Freddygotfingered84 agreed but the problem was the laws only applied to some and the state was involved in alot of these murders to some extent, so in a way some groups were above the law and operated with impunity.

      @koeman1873 Loyalists started the conflict their only aim was hatred, discrimination ,murder and mahem. At the start of the conflict all republicans wanted was civil rights and defence in their areas against Loyalist murder mobs but in the end IRA fought the British to stale mate , a few hundred men against British army, RUC, Loyalist death squads , SAS ,mi5 .. and all in collusion together. And they were undefeated even if they didn't achieve every goal. The British themselves admitted the IRA could not be defeated so what's there to be embarrassed about. Inflicted nearly 4 times as much enemy casualties than they lost.
