You realise that no one cares about the violence except those who live here. Sad but true.
Obviously not true, but it's certainly true that fewer people elsewhere care who should.

My opinion is that it’s true. I’ve lived through it all so far and the fact that we only make the news when the atrocities are very severe evidences my point. Someone gets killed here due to terrorism doesn’t make the news outside of here. Kneecapping is a regular occurrence (people getting shot in the knees, ankles or the six pack - knees, ankles and elbows) that does not make the news outside of here - and I am talking about this week, last week not 20 years ago. No one outside of here has any interest in the brutality of this place. A friend of mine was shot dead a couple of years ago, police didn’t catch anyone - this week the police are taking an interest in the area it happened as shooting have got beyond a joke there. That made the news here and it’s not in Belfast or Londonderry - it’s a country area.
I totally understand why it doesn’t make the news outside of here - people on the mainland are bored with it and have been since 1968. Just an observation but it’s accurate.The article mentioned above
