Everyone in my home city of Derry knows someone personally who has been shot or told to leave the country or die. If you look at the local news for derry you might find reports of shootings but it gives no idea of how much this shit affects people's daily lives. I'm only 26 and in my life I have heard 2 bombs go off, one was at the end of my street, my younger sister witnessed a bomb exploding outside a probation office, I know countless people who have been shot or attacked by paramilitary groups. Journalist Lyra Mckee was killed in my parents' neighbourhood this year during what was described as "just another normal riot". The government doesn't give a fuck so people turn to these groups for leadership and they take advantage.
