Ultimately Bloody Friday revealed a side to the organisation that many who had joined in the wake of Bloody Sunday had not wished to acknowledge.
Bloody Friday was by no means the last atrocity of 1972.

 CAIN: 'Bloody Friday' - Background events
On Friday 7 July 1972 Gerry Adams, who had been released from detention for the purpose, was part of a delegation to London for talks with the Conservative British Government of Edward Heath.
The talks failed and the breakdown in the IRA ceasefire finally occurred because of a dispute over the allocation of houses in the Suffolk area and the IRA and British army became involved in gun battles in Horn Drive.
The 'Bloody Friday' bombings were part of a decision by the IRA to step up its campaign with a view to trying to bring ordinary life in the city to an end.

 [No title]
A bloody melee last Friday, in which construction workers rampaged over antiwar protesters to the cheers of businessmen and office workers, threatens to have designated the heart of New York's financial district as a battleground for extremists of both sides.
And the Mayor's office, which branded Friday's melee on Wall Street as "a breakdown of the police as a barrier between (the people of New York) and wanton violence," is bracing for the prospect that inflamed tempers on both sides may draw battlers to the same site for another showdown today.
But observers of last Friday's clashes say that violence set a new mark in its scope, the apparent high degree of coordination among the construction workers, and the support they got from many members of the white-collar business community.

 voiceofsandiego.org: Catherine Hockmuth... Bloody Friday
Friday is Black Friday for retailers and stay-at-home Friday for me. I toyed briefly with heading to the mall because I'm in the process of updating my wardrobe for winter and thought it may be worth it to get a few deals.
I always thought the term Black Friday referred to the worst of our souls: that dark, bleak place where we store our greed, vanity and lack of consideration until we need it to beat 300 other people in race for a video game.
They should rename it Bloody Friday for all the injuries that occur year after year only to be forgotten the next year when the insanity begins anew.

At any rate, even though this is not one of Yam's better known efforts in the genre, it is a solid effort, even though it may not quite be what a viewer might expect, especially given the title.
Bloody Friday is more of a "cat and mouse" chase movie versus an exploitation one, and it's pretty effective in that regard.
Bloody Friday is recommended for Simon Yam fans who want a little thinking to go along with the killing.

 A bloody Friday that cemented Hindu-Muslim unity   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Forging bonds after decades of animosity, Hindus in their hundreds donated blood and bought medicines for Muslim victims of a bloody bombing in Maharashtra''s communal tinderbox Malegaon.
In a display of communal camaraderie that is drawing widespread praise, a town that would erupt into sectarian frenzy at the drop of a hat transformed itself so dramatically after three bomb blasts and a panic stampede in a graveyard near a mosque killed 38 and injured some 190, many seriously.
The attacks took place in the very heart of Malegaon''s Muslim quarter on a Friday when people were preparing for Shab-e-Barat in memory of their dead.

 Red Clydeside: The battle of George Square (Bloody Friday) 1919
On Friday 31 January 1919 upwards of 60,000 demonstrators gathered in George Square in support of the 40-hours strike and to hear the Lord Provost's reply to the workers' request for a 40-hour week.
In the immediate aftermath of 'Bloody Friday', as it became known, other leaders of the Clyde Workers' Committee were also arrested, including Emanuel Shinwell, Harry Hopkins and George Edbury.
Whilst not achieving their stated aim of a 40-hour working week, the striking workers from the engineering and shipbuilding industries did return to work having at least negotiated an agreement that guaranteed them a 47-hour working week; 10 hours less than they were working prior to the strike.

Before Bloody Friday, the chairman had appointed a Hamas member to serve on the Muslim religious courts in the West Bank, but in the wake of the fracas, he may no longer be interested in sharing power at any level.

 Denton Record Chronicle | News for Denton County, Texas | Denton Time
Every second Friday of the month, PitofHorror.com and the upcoming DallasMovieGuide.com will present a “classic” ’70s or ’80s-era horror film in a midnight screening at Denton Movie Tavern, each movie ready to be embraced as the grindhouse escapism it is.
This weekend, it’s Friday the 13th Part VII: The New Blood (1988), with a guest appearance at the screening by actress Lar Park-Lincoln, who played the telekinetic Tina Shepard — one of the few characters in that series to allow Jason Voorhees to meet his match.
Local anticipation for Friday Night Frights is already high; with the factors of nostalgia and horror fandom intersecting, there’s no way a movie lover could pass it up.

 THE BLANKET * Index: Current Articles
No one takes the denial of IRA membership seriously, allowing those who are sceptical to attribute the same lack of seriousness to his denials of involvement in the Bloody Friday debacle.
As for Adams, his unpersuasive denials of IRA membership are insufficient to infer that he is unworthy of belief on other matters such as Bloody Friday.
Nevertheless the events of Bloody Friday were the result of unmitigated negligence rather than murderous intent.

 Bleeding Skull -- Bloody Friday VHS Review
Liberated Living, as outlined in Bloody Friday, involves a congregation of sex-deficients for group sexual therapy, group talking at the bar, and group "milling" (lights out, clothes off, stuffs out).
Yet, before the celebratory decree, it must be noted that approximately 50 minutes of this film are devoted to discussions of inconsequential topics.
Light on blood, action, and swinging, Bloody Friday is not the trimmed down, feelgood redux of Swingers Massacre that we'd all hoped for.

 FRIDAY THE 13TH PART VI
Jason may be the king of cut and slash but the results of his latest bloody escapade Friday the 13th, Part VI: Jason Lives, indicate that he carries a dull butter knife when compared to that granddaddy of mad slashers--the motion picture ratings board.
Gorehounds expecting Jason Lives to be a panorama of blood and graphic guts were, undoubtedly, disappointed at the quick cuts, the off-screen kills and an overall feeling that this basically PG-13 plus flick would have been safe viewing for your maiden aunt from Podunk.
The graveyard maggot sequence, which made use of a dummy, the notorious CJ (the actor who plays Jason) and Swift's own eye (in all the Jason close-ups), was one of the rare scenes to survive the censor's axe.

Originally this was in order that the calendar could be expanded to 20-plus races, but in recent times the emphasis has shifted to curbing costs.
In terms of action, little happens on GP Fridays, partly due to the two-race engine rule, which means that many drivers opt to conserve their engines, and partly due to the amount of testing, both on track and in the factory.
For 2007, the third driver has been scrapped, which means we are likely to see even less action.
