| Orange Riot In N Ireland |
| 2005-09-12 |
| A mob of around 700 people have taken to the streets of Belfast in a new wave of loyalist rioting, police said. Petrol bombs and missiles were thrown at security lines on Albertbridge Road in the east of the city. One police officer has been reported injured. A blast bomb also exploded outside New Barnsley Police Station in west Belfast, causing minor damage. The trouble follows the worst rioting in years on Saturday - sparked by the re-routing of an Orange Order march... |

| #3 Nobody plays well with others in the north. The Republic's citizens have come a long way in abandoning hate inspired madness (despite what they were sometimes not so subtley taught) though up in the north the political animals of both loyalist and nationalist stripes (less political than organized crime syndicates) can't seem to evolve in the least. Republicans can't bring themselves to fully abandon the rhetoric BS and it's trappings for a more pragmatic approach and the loyalists can't read the writing on the wall and accept the fact that it's not worth it to be "Loyalists" to something that just doesn't really want you. Everybody there seems to forget that they'll have to learn to live with themselves one day and the sooner the better for all concerned. |

| #2 That would be the annual "We kicked your butt 300 years ago march". Yeah, real constructive. |
