#sectarian war started back in 1966 when the UVF murdered three innocent civilians, two Catholics and a protestant woman, forward to 1969 the onslaught continued against the Catholic community as loyalists and security forces were determined to keep us in our place, 1/2

Looking back at the Ormeau Road bookies massacre which the UFF say was in retaliation for the IRA Tband massacre, every family member who lost a loved one at Tband were absolutely disgusted that their love ones were use as an excuse to attack that betting shop. Respect.

The laughing UVF killer gang's getaway car was discovered in a field between Crossgar & Ballynahinch the next day, the gang didn't destroy the car, the RUC did that for them and stripped it of all forensic evidence before destruction. 3/.

All six victims were Catholic civilians out watching Ireland play Italy in the USA '94' World Cup finals, during the match the gunmen burst in knowing the bar would be busy that night, the aim was to murder as many Catholics as possible, the gunmen laughed as they left. 2/
