Jerry, our amazing tour guide and black taxi driver, who we paid with Polish cookies. We met him at a pub called the Blackstaff and he took pity on us when we are getting our butts beat at trivia. So we simply text him a week or so in advance or catch him at the pub and he'll give us tours free of charge other than some hot tea and maybe sweets.

This wall had pictures of all the people killed during the troops by police or Army. The pictures were taking down and carried during the protest
The 17 people killed by plastic bullets. Most young kids, often shot to start something and then cited as a riot. The blue candle in the middle is for Norah, she was shot walking home from grocery shopping down in City Center and the entire incident was caught on tape by a Swedish film crew; legislation to ban plastic bullets is still going.

Enjoyed the pictures but made me sad to see so many people who have been killed for their beliefs. You certainly are getting a history of the area and thanks to your guide who's taking the time to tell you. Love you,
