"Bloody Sunday" refers to several historical events, but most notably, it describes the events of March 7, 1965, in Selma, Alabama, when civil rights activists were violently confronted by law enforcement while marching for voting rights. The brutality of the police response, which was televised, shocked the nation and galvanized support for the Civil Rights Movement. The term is also associated with other events, such as the 1905 Russian Revolution and the 1972 Northern Ireland incident, each marked by violence and significant social upheaval.

What happened on Bloody Sunday?

In bloody Sunday over 20 innocent people were shot and 14 died because of evil British soldiers who killed innocent people for peaceful protesting. The soldiers were evil little ******* and they deserved to die a painful death for killing innocent children. Let's get some of the ill-informed prejudice out of this, huh? The soldiers, who were ordinary guys and no more evil than anyone else, but trained to do a job, will swear to their dying day that they believed they were shot at first, even though the enquiry did not agree that this was the case. The soldiers then did what they were ordered to do and, sadly, created a desperately tragic mistake for which they will never be forgiven.
