Clashes in Belfast

[ukmale4]

serious stuff

[KOMANO77]

Was ist denn das für eine Polizeistrategie?

Haben die Tommy keine Gummigeschosse?

Oder traut man sich nicht mehr seit dem Bloddy Sunday?

[bomberpilot271]

@KOMANO77 Die Deutsche Polizei hat z.B. auch keine Gummigeschosse

[ardsyouthftw]

why riot its sad

[ferryden1]

Northern Ireland is Protestant and British and always will be.

God Save Our Protestant Queen.

SAS bang bang bang

[saturdaycity]

poor police. They should be allowed to kill those who throw things at them.

[xNerdalicious]

@saturdaycity i agree tbhh. my dad got murdered because he was a cop; and arrested some of the rioters years ago!

[muslim123ish]

its raining petrol bombs

[FANNYLEROUX]

I like the calmess in this video. I like how the kids cover their faces. I LOVE them police jeeps, little miricles they are. Meh though, i love them, but not as much as those bit white lorrys they have, with the big cannons to wash the kids away with. I would LOVE a go in one of them, only because people dont mess with them :)

[NatureLiving]

I hate having to live near such reprobates. Shames this country so badly. It's disgusting.

[ConanofAustria]

Trying to understand how this sort of crap has ever solved anything? How does it help the people trying to live peacefully? Trying to enjoy life? Setting something on fire and then going home resolved what issues? And the cheering going on when the cocktail goes off...losers.

The police looked bored...and rightfully so. Throwing Molotov Cocktails on an armed plated vehicle--more evidence these people aren't the brightest bunch.

[WeeBritsNi1]

Bring back the RUC smash these mindless thugs. Its Republicism at fault. I am Irish and as a free Irishman I choose my british citizenship anyday. Problem is catholics believe they are Irish == LIE !! This is pathetically stupid and one big fat lie that IRA & such like have used to breed hate and intolerence. British, Ireland is part of the British Isles they are British too What is an Irishman ? is he Catholic ? Celtic and all that crap romanticised bakcward view .. NO HE IS NOT ..

[Gerechtable]

gay protestants!!

[weeandyrfc7]

[oneworldonerace]

[DeanWallace1000]

irishrogue61 no need for the loyalist views lol 

[seank077]

burn em out

[MegaHuzz]

Have any of these oiks actually read the bible? .. I suspect not, because it looks like they probably skipped English class to nick from corner shops and Post Offices. Shame, otherwise they'd realise violence is kinda against it's teachings.

[MegaHuzz]

Hey - those guys throwing shit could at least realise they're doing absolute sod all for political debate, and join the Police; then at least they'd be paid for beating people up .. Oh wait! They're far too lazy to get jobs, and have such a messed up moral compass they think that'd be the 'wrong' thing to do!

[BigDingle]

Do any of these people have jobs? Or do they look to you like they all claim benefits too? The government probably indirectly paid for those petrol bombs.

[BigDingle]

Bunch of horrible working class chavy uneducated ill mannered muppets! Regardless of your heritage you dont throw petrol bombs at plods!

[beaco1989]

There will never be normality and peace until the occupying forces leave and the people of Ireland are not forced to have another flag, identity and government forced apon them . England has to learn it doesnt have a right to other peoples cultures and lands for it is our right to fight to gain them back.

[bocher222]

why would anyone want to join the arse shagging catholic south poofy priests ok

[tippa2kk]

cops are usless! y cant they just shoot a few of the fuckers that will sort em out! lol

[Taggart100]

SCUMBAGS

[ChristianIrishNation]

I know Taggart well at least the Republican youth are standing united against them.

[badboykazim]

why mess up ur city and put it on fire if u r going to fight then fight proply and the police are just doing their job dont take it out on them take it out on the person who has upset u or made u angry

[joeluvingurlsarse]

before you comment about this, you should really read up your history about the north.

the police are the people who make us angry. By protecting british rule and cementing the british establishment in the north

[manuman2T7]

Not to mention the fact they collude with The UVF UDA and other Poof Clubs

[BigDingle]

@joeluvingurlsarse Mate get over it. Northern Ireland is British, either get a referendum and get the majority to turn the country to Irish rule. Or move south! Either way stop moaning and advocating violence!

[badboykazim]

why would u mess up ur own city or put on fire if you want to batter somebody batter the person the person that did it not the police they r doing their job

[miecznik666]

Keep on the good fight, Irish brothers. Poland supports all these movements. Your day will come. Fuck British twats.

[jdckvfu]

YEAH!

[akeffo]

Nothing shocking about this. Every year they Prots do the ole Apprentice boys parade and the Irish try to stop it. Eventually it blows over. Boring.

[CO2Junkie]

I love how calm the cops are. I suspect if such a thing happened here in the US the cops would be most likely be swinging their clubs & firing their tazers from the start.

[MARZ873]

it used to be different. the police used to use these guns that shoot plastic bullets in belfast

[2008Janek2008]

@CO2Junkie

The cops wont run in a Molotov attack, they are waiting till it is done and then go into it. By the way I would love to see a tazer attack against a group of a 100 to an 1000 people, not mentioning that for tazering the police has to stand close to the mob.

[ImagesByDavid]

@CO2Junkie

They have to be calm an incident here could spark off bomb and shooting attacks across Northern Ireland.

[BlackIrish1916]

@CO2Junkie the police here use plastic bullets,they used a few hundred of them again civilian as well as rioters before the rioting statrted.

[muslim123ish]

@CO2Junkie they do shoot rubber bullets here but this aint the worse riot here

[astrogay220]

@CO2Junkie , and it´s the correct answer, to stupid people who only like to destroy and cause mayem.

[CO2Junkie]

@astrogay220 - Except civil disobedience was respected by people like Thomas Jefferson & George Washington. It is possible that the status quo will be found the morally inferior position. Examples: the American slave trade, disenfranchisement of American women, Jim Crow law, American government experimenting on US soldiers without their knowledge... on & on & on.

Are you a boot-licker? Whoever is in power is automatically RIGHT to you?

[blackmesa10]

@CO2Junkie No No They would open fire if peaple were thorwing petrol bombs and americans are pussys when it comes to rioting

[nutsubidza]

What is the reason?

[TheKwaker]

There's a few hundred years of Irish history in there son.

I suggest you look elsewhere if you need an answer.

500 characters isn't really enough to sum it up.

[nutsubidza]

First of all I am not "son" :D

Fighting for Freedom is not unknown to me .

We, Georgians have centuries history fighting for our country's independence.

I totally Understand Irish People...

I thought it was something else,thus what can be more important than freedom?! :)

[BigDingle]

@nutsubidza Yeah but correct me if I'm wrong but your country was stupid enough to inavde Russia wasn't it?

[nutsubidza]

It was russia who invaded and then occupied Georgian Regions...

Were do you gut such kind of informations ?! :)

[BigDingle]

As I recall Georgia invaded two autonomous regions both ethnically Russian where the bulk of the citizenry hold Russian passports and consider themselves Russian. I dont care what label you put on the land you invade such areas and the Russians will be less than happy! And you are rabbiting on about you right to self determination and independence - what about the same rights of the South Ossetians and Abkhazians?

[nutsubidza]

@BigDingle

First of all there are no ethnically russian population in these regions.

Most of people were ethnical Georgians who were forced to leave their homes, more than 350000 are IDP in their country.

russia illegally gave passports to abkhazians and ossetians, it was also proved by EU commission...

I don't care about russians feeling happy. more over I deeply give shit on their feelings, They ethnic cleansed, invaded and occupied Georgian Regions.

[nutsubidza]

@BigDingle

Let's bring those people back to their homes and then speak about self determination of these Regions.

Whole civilized world has banned this so called independence, tell me one normal country which agrees with russia?!

Hugo Chavez's Regime(Costed 2 billion $), Nicaragua (200 million $) tiny unknown island (50 million $) HAMAS (100 RPG's & 1000 AK's) or Maybe HEZBOLLAH? (10 makarovs, Fresh Playboy Magazine & 10 packs of Marlboro :) )

[nutsubidza]

@BigDingle

If you don't know the situation in Caucasus, don't write such dumb posts...

Time will pass and you will see russian red occupant army leaving Georgian Territories ....

[hashim2012]

Basically, it is Irish Republicans taking action against people who claim to be british, protected by a british police force, parading through an area were Irish Nationalists reside. It is similar to a white supremacists parading through a neighbourhood were people of african origin reside.

[moffthemod]

A big fuss about nothing. The parade lasts about 30 seconds. It doesn't pass though a Republican neighbourhood, it passes the corner of it. Its just an excuse for a Republican mob to attack the police. The rest of the year these people are just out stealing cars etc. The rioting is just a summer pasttime they look forward to. Check the Ardoyne joyriding sites on Youtube

[hashim2012]

I am not a hood or a joyrider. I am a decent, working class nationalist who is against crime. However, I will not tolerate orange filfth stomping their way through my area protected by british police. I will do anything to stop these parades, including attacking the british police forces and their military vehicles. If I had the chance to blow up this orange march, I would, and wouldn't feel pity or shame.

[moffthemod]

You know as well as I do that the parade lasts 30 seconds and does not pass through Ardoyne. The only part it gets close to is a row of shops. As for the police, they're all local people as far as I know and even Sinn Fein support them now. Your vision of a united Ireland doesn't sound very inclusive to me so I'll maybe give it a miss. Why you have Orange in your flag baffles me. And no more threatening posts in my in box please

[hashim2012]

Ireland will be united, it is inevidable. Give it a miss all you like.

[moffthemod]

If its inevitable, why riot?

[hashim2012]

Because we will not tolerate anti-catholic organisations imposing themselves on us.

[moffthemod]

How are they imposing themselves on you? They only walk past some shops FFS! Go and do something else for the 30 seconds it takes for the parade to pass these shops. Get a life! You wave a flag with orange in it. Its there because the founding fathers of the Republic wanted an inclusive society. You are a traitor to the original Republicans.

[bocher222]

scotland will notr tolerate catholic scum brainwashing people

[BigDingle]

Oh come off it, PSNI anti-catholic, its people with your views and the mugs in this video that keep the people or Northern Ireland downtrodden.

[BlackIrish1916]

@moffthemod there was a loyalist march before all this started,if the march never happend ths riot wouldn't have happened, the orange order disrespected the people in the communtiy they would march through,thats why this riot happened

[moffthemod]

@BlackIrish1916 The riot happened because theres a section of society that ENJOYS destruction! The local Priest is on record as saying that the rioters weren't even from the locality! So what we see on this video is a mob thats assembled from here, there and everywhere. A mob that doesn't even represent the local community!

[BlackIrish1916]

@moffthemod lol and you believe that, lol that priest spoke to a few people,trust me they were all local,when force was used to remove the peaceful protest then thats were it all started,the orange order shouldn't be marchin through a irish republican area,where there not wanted,their forcing their believes and culture on others, you can refer this to when the young girls of the holy cross school had to walk through a loyalist area, and they were attacked,by blastbombs can you justify that,

[moffthemod]

@BlackIrish1916 I most certainly do not justify blastbombs being thrown at ANYONE and I hope you don't either or any other missiles for that matter. Ardoyne is 100% Nationalist because no Unionist/Loyalist in their right mind would live there. The Shankill is 100% Unionist/Loyalist because no Nationalist/Republican in their right mind would live there etc etc. Sectarian apartheid with no respect for other peoples traditions is just wrong no matter how you try to justify it.

[BlackIrish1916]

@moffthemod thats what i'm sayin i agree with you 100%,

in this country there will never be peace, cause both sides of the wall still have hate there

[moffthemod]

@BlackIrish1916 and one step in that process would be to respect that the Orange traditions are just as Irish and legitimate as the Green traditions. The Orange parade past (not through) Ardoyne is extremely small and is the easiest way for the Ballysillan orangemen to get home from the main parade. If the Orange Order wanted to be confrontational, it would have the whole Belfast parade passing through (not past) Ardoyne and it would involve 30,000+ people. They don't do that

[BlackIrish1916]

@moffthemod mate its a feader parade why can't they just get a bus,and actually there forcing there culture on us,were not doing anything like that on them,so why are they doing it on us,and the houses on that road are owned by irish repbulicans same with the shops,i'm sure the loyalist wouldn't want a nationalist parade marching through the town the way they did for the orange order and RIR

[moffthemod]

@BlackIrish1916 People should be able to celebrate their traditions anywhere in Ireland. What you are advocating is sectarian apartheid. Nationalist/Republican and Unionist/Loyalist districts frankly sicken me. People should be able to live wherever they want and celebrate their traditions without fear of attack. That would be an inclusive society. You obviously want the ghetto (them and us) mentality to continue and that ensures that your aspiration for a truly united Ireland will never happen

[BlackIrish1916]

@moffthemod well what about the 12 of july thats a sectearian parade is it not,

that celebrates a victory over the native irish and the catholic english king, thats showing superiority over another nation, lol loyalist think the same as well mate not just me

[moffthemod]

@BlackIrish1916 Thats one interpretation. Another is that it established the principle of civil and religious liberty ie the freedom to worship your maker whatever way you see fit and surely thats a great thing still not enjoyed in many countries today. Orange traditions and Green traditions won't go away. We can either go on fighting and finding offence in each others traditions or we can accept them and celebrate cultural diversity. I'm all for the latter

[BlackIrish1916]

@moffthemod lol mate most likely the people marching in those parades oppose a untied and free ireland, and most still deny the oppression they caused towards the native irish people,

[moffthemod]

@BlackIrish1916 So keep on fighting then! But even if you get your united Ireland, the Orange tradition will still remain and the fighting will continue whilst people like you continue with this "them and us" mindset! As for this "native irish" stuff, what does that mean!? Scotland gets its name from an Irish tribe that settled there. Ireland has been populated by Normans, Vikings, Spanish, Scottish etc etc! We're all a mixture! Lighten up mate, enjoy life!

[BlackIrish1916]

@moffthemod no we don't care about the parades after a united ireland happen at least i don't, cause i will have my country free, so the only ones who have to be pissed is the loyalist, if they want to start a fuckin war then let them,it won't do them any good, lol and we defeated the vikings, lol and actually going back to after the iceage the people who selttleds in scotland came to ireland and seltted here, that why we have such stronge connections with them,

[moffthemod]

@BlackIrish1916 So its not the parades that are the issue then!!!!! So why attack them??!! You're at that "them and us" stuff again! Get over it :-)

[BlackIrish1916]

@moffthemod mate the history of the orange order was to be superor to the irish native people going back centurys they have always denied the irish there rights, and to this day deny what the british have done to the native irish, when the irish rose up to fight they called it terrorism not oppression, do you expect is to be ok with that then,

[moffthemod]

@BlackIrish1916 There youre at it again! Them and us! Native Irish! We're all a mixture! eg Adams (English surname), Hume (Scottish surname) O'neill (unionist PM, Irish surname), Murphy (Shankill butcher, Irish Surname) etc etc!! With all that raping you tell me went on, we must all be a mixture!!!! lol

[BlackIrish1916]

@moffthemod lol the loyalist don't want anyhting to do with us, just beacuse we want a untied ireland free from british rule

[moffthemod]

@BlackIrish1916 You're at that "them and us" stuff again!!!!!! :-)

[BlackIrish1916]

@moffthemod there has been british republicans in the past if that shuts you up,lol

[BlackIrish1916]

@moffthemod not the scottish royal loyalist that the british sent over, there todays loyalist here in ireland, it was so that the british would alway have a stronge foot hold in ireland even if they were gone, they did it to the scot and welsh, rape basically, british soilder and genrals would take celtic women away and force them to have sex with them, rape is what that was..

[moffthemod]

@BlackIrish1916 You're not one to hold a grudge are you!? I'm surprised you can walk in a straight line with that chip on your shoulder!!! lol

I have no idea if what you say is true or not but guess what, I don't care! The Russian army raped literally millions of German women when they arrived in Germany in 1945 and they seem to have got over it! lol

[naadsteen]

@moffthemod ur funny .. and it's true I'ts also true that u can get people out of the war but not visa versa.

[bocher222]

inevidable silly irish prick

[BigDingle]

What you fail to understand is that Ireland is uniting against the violence and idiocy you preach.

[Noddy1690]

What a bunch of hate filled bigots, these republicans are!

[BigDingle]

Then you will surely burn in hell. Regardless of which side you are blowing people up is wrong.

[hashim2012]

Their are millions more like me around the world, we will not be stopped. Opression breeds terrorism. I will terrorise these bigots non-stop until they are eradicated. TIOCFAIDH AR LA!

[BigDingle]

Oh look an Irish Bin Laden in the making... Any plans for attacking people for no other reason that you need a cuddle in the near future?

[BigDingle]

@hashim2012 No it's similar to Conservatives marching through a Labour constituency, or at least it would be if you lot would understand that throwing petrol bombs at each other doesn't count as intelligent political debate. Tolerance!

[vipi120583]

wow

[mikess]

The police should have brought the fire truck. Those cocktails could blow up the police's cars.

[KushRushKushRush]

hell yeah
