THE IRA IN ANDERSONSTOWN (AUGUST 1980)

They showed up at a ‘Troops Out’ rally. They were obviously young and enjoying posing. Displaying guns already made a crowd behave as if it was at a rock concert. I remember thinking the mother of the guy on the right wouldn’t have been too impressed with the uneven way he'd cut his eye-holes out.
