Um...no. You apparently assumed I meant murders. Violence in the troubles did not only have bombs and killing. Beatings, kneecapping, burnings, etc. The thugs were into intimidation...easier to intimidate when they stay alive. I’ll take someone’s observations on the ground and who lived to tell the tales...that means not yours.
I will just quote you from your post # 11:
“He tells me that the troubles never stopped. They just don't use bombs like they used to. They still shoot each other and firebomb houses and cars”
And by the way, not only have I been to Northern Ireland, I lived and worked there for a year. Plus lived in Londonand the rest of the UK for many years.
Meanwhile just have a look at the crime statistics in London.
