Where’s The Joy?
Three year-old Tyler Watson survived the crash in which both of his parents were killed by a “death driver” (rather than “joyrider”) near Ballymoney (BBC). For the original photograph, see the Extramural post on the version of this board on the Shankill, where the Watsons were from.
Three versions of the mural were painted, part of the campaign by Families Bereaved Through Car Crime (Fb). This one is on the Springfield Road, near where Debbie McComb was run over in 2000 (see Death Driving), and is dedicated by artist Frank (Lucas) Quigley to son Rossa Quigley who was struck by dangerous driver in April 2003 on the Cliftonville Road. Another was placed in north Belfast just below Cliftonville Road.

Now That I’m Free
Anti-drugs board in the Markets, Belfast, covering all the bases: “Goodbye marijuana, cocaine and crack/I’ve finally got my life on track/I don’t need you, you don’t need me/I feel good now that I’m free.” “1 out of every 4 people who die sniffing solvents are first time sniffers!” “LSD can make you very confused and scared. Some people never recover from the experience of having ‘a trip’.”5 tabs can damage your body by poisoning your liver. They can also lead to coma and even death.” “Cannabis can make you paranoid, sick and forgetful. Some people end up not being able to stop using it.”

Killed By Weapon Systems
Two plaques in Guildhall Square, London-/Derry: “In memory of all those from and within the city and district who have lost their lives as a result of war and conflict.” “In memory of all those killed by weapon systems produced within the City & District.” The reference is to Derry-made Raytheon missiles, perhaps specifically for their part in the Israeli invasion of Lebanon (orbops | indymedia).
