A completely different Bloody Sunday occurred in [[Northern Ireland]] in 1972.  The mainly Catholic Civil Rights movement were holding a march in [[Derry]].  The British soldiers responded by shooting thirteen unarmed protesters dead, including six minors, and another died from the wounds a few months later.  Five had been shot in the back.  Army vehicles ran over two protesters.  The British never punished those responsible and several songs (one by [[John Lennon]], and other by [[U2]]) commemorate the tragedy.  There is a [[Christian rock]] group that dedicates its name to the event, calling themselves “Bloody Sunday.”
