Shankill mural #2

These terror---, um, "freedom fighters" belong to a 2nd Battallion of the Ulster Freedom Fightersi (UFF). I can't keep track of the different revolutionary and counterrevolutionary organizations, there are dozens of them on both sides.

Characteristics of Protestant murals include the word Ulster, that thing that looks like a Star of David but isn't, the red hand (in the center of the cross), and the Union Jack (not on this mural but on that east Belfast one).

Belfast, Northern Ireland -- June 2000
