David Cleary was a British soldier that murdered several unarmed Irish civilians in 1972, a massacre known as “Bloody Sunday.” To succinctly summarize this period of the Troubles, I offer the Wolfe Tones. We are referring to one of the murderers of the “fourteen men in Derry, [who] are the last that you will bury” here.
Last year, he was finally made to stand trial. However, the judge decided that he deserved full anonymity (because of supposed danger to his life) and issued an injunction preventing him from being named as anything other than “soldier F.” He also got off scot free of course.
Twitter here ended up banning this user for naming the man. Elsewhere, I’ve also seen screenshots where Google in the uk removes results with his name.
At least he faced some consequences in civil court. Really, the moral of the OJ story is fuck LAPD for being so full of racist fuckheads that a murder had to walk.
I don’t understand this post and the “context” doesn’t explain why. I feel like some critical information on the original post was scribbled out.

So the original post said “Soldier F is David Cleary?”
Yes. David Cleary is soldier F, the individual who murdered multiple people and faced no consequences for it.
Not “is a murderer”?
That’s because he was found not guilty
So was OJ Simpson. Doesn’t change facts.
At least he faced some consequences in civil court. Really, the moral of the OJ story is fuck LAPD for being so full of racist fuckheads that a murder had to walk.
my dude, high fives all around for your concise and accurate legal analysis.
Oh dear me good heavens however shall we diverge from the findings of a court
I’m not even Irish and I understand. I understand.
