Did Joe have something against Gerry before the attack on Barker or was it Gerry's response to what Joe did that ruined the relationship they had formed? It seemed kind of abrupt so I don't know if I missed something before The Godfather screening. Joe seemed to keep Gerry at a distance before the attack happened and I wasn't sure why.

Joe (blows) considered Gerry as a patsy for the IRA cause, since Gerry was a common thief that DREW attention to the whole local IRA group in the neighborhood, so this may have been a way to get rid of Gerry the local, "their always robbing our houses" thief, only when a whole bunch of other people including a 14 year old kid got involved in the mix, then and ONLY then, the IRA thought about about doing the right thing otherwise Gerry would still be robbing brownies at the jail for dinner. Oyyyyy!

Gerry was a member of the IRA when he was a teenager
just one of the things Jim Sheridan left out.
No, you're thinking of Paul Hill. Gerry Conlon was a petty thief, & the IRA doesn't recruit criminals.
Who are you? Who? Who? Who? Who?
