Stone himself has gone on to renounce violence and accepts that peaceful discussion is the only way forward for the Northern Irish political situation, although he remains in the UDA, and in 2005 said he would fully support and take part in a campaign of violence if the UDA ended its ceasefire.
Isnt this a contradiction? ( Khanada 08:09, 6 April 2006 (UTC))
We now have a reference to a brief BBC article that uses the word 'torture', but what did the toture involve, other than the beating? If they were tortured in some other way, then there should be a reference to a source that gives details. If not, the word is redundant and POV, as was 'mutilated'.

Yeah I'd have to agree with you there. ( Derry Boi 09:22, 1 October 2006 (UTC))
WP:NPOV mandates journalistic sensationalism should not be presented as fact, as was happening in this article.
Just one newspaper has decided to call the events "torture" but according to policy that doesn't make it a fact. Opinions attributed to the people that hold them, as policy mandates. Freegan 02:02, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

Where is the claim that "Scenes relayed on live television showed the two corporals waving their guns before being cornered by black taxis" coming from? It's completely untrue. Neither man drew his weapon until AFTER they had been blocked in by the mob, at which point Cpl Wood drew his and fired a single warning shot into the air. To claim that they were "waving guns around" is straightforward invention. To write that you either a) Haven't seen the video and therefore shouldn't be explaining what it shows or b) Are lying. Please don't reinsert it. -- FergusM1970 Let's play Freckles 14:34, 1 March 2013 (UTC)
This has been rated as a "Start-class" article since 2007. However, it has been greatly expanded since then and I think it now deserves a higher rating. I added a lot more (reliably-sourced) information today, tho I think it could do with more sources. ~Asarlaí 04:19, 12 March 2013 (UTC)
Milltown Malbay Massacre should be added to the See also due to the name similarities. -- Thats Just Great ( talk) 22:03, 15 April 2020 (UTC)
I added an incident described by Michael Stone in the "Milltown" chapter of his autobiography None Shall Divide Us to the Aftermath section. If anyone has anything to add to this, feel free to discuss it here first.
