		The Butchers proved difficult to catch because the public of Northern Ireland were accustomed to shocking levels of sectarian violence and generally refused to cooperate with police.
		The Butchers were finally caught when one of their Catholic victims miraculously survived, and had the courage to testify against them.
		I also believe that the conflict that was going on at the time when the butchers were active served only as an excuse for them to carry out the things they did and i believe that if there was not a war on then these men would still have done what they done.

	MOISTWORKS : AN MP3 BOOMBOX
		Atmospherically, "Shankill Butchers" most resembles Decemberists songs like "Eli the Barrow Boy" -- sparse, haunting laments that put Meloy's knack for poignant melodic phrasing, not baroque language, on prominent display.
		Like all the songs on The Crane Wife, "Shankill Butchers" seems to unfold across a sprawling, foggy screen, each image iconic and radiant in its lucidity.
		While the Shankill Butchers are real, you wouldn't know it from the song: Meloy excises the Irish terrorists/serial killers (whose atrocities were so extreme as to surpass the political and enter fantastic realms of abstract, unfathomable malevolence) from our shared reality, remaking them as the boogeymen the rational mind needs them to be.
