[1 of 2] September 2005 riots in Belfast / Northern Ireland

In September 2005 Northern Ireland saw the worst rioting for decades. The riots followed a rerouted Orange Order Parade. The trouble came from the Loyalist/Protestant side. This is a report of the 11th of September 2005.

Carson said that the final battle would be between the British and the Loyalists.

Hopefully it’s us republicans that are made to look bad by the British so the only people who support us are the enemies of the west

Pro British loyalists attacking the British army again? Classic stuff

This conflict is so confusing, Is this just northern Ireland fighting or is southern Ireland fighting to? And wtf are they fighting for?

Must be proud of yourselves, murdering innocent Irishmen &Women in the name of a Country & Queen who doesn't even want you's Wake up, you're Irish,even if your Protestant or Presbyterian it doesn't change the fact that you're born and bred here like the rest of us Irish. Even Lizzie and the Tories don't want you's anymore

What is a loyalist

[@duskwaith]

Some politicians seem to believe that a united ireland could be achieved by then

[@echosofberlin]

not so sure about that.

[@Dedicednu]

Why would they want to march down that street if not to start riots.

[@j2msu341]

1:05 said it was unique for officers to come under live fire in a public order situation ??????

[@dowling1981]

Universal responsibility is the realization that even our enemy is entirely motivated by the quest for happiness. We must recognize that all beings want the same thing that we want. This is the way to achieve a true understanding, unfettered by artificial consideration.

[@ragerancher]

If I havn't got a clue then why is the UK the United Kingdom of Great Britain and N.I? N.I isn't part of Britain. I suggest you check before posting. Also look at the history of Ireland and you will see the Irish agreed to let Britain keep control of N.I.

If northern ireland isnt british, why does my passport say i am a british citizen? U reali dont have a clue

[@TheMrseringobragh]

A good idea is to read the history of Northern Ireland before you post comments. Things are very complicated but history cant be forgotten when history is a living part of every day life in the NI. One day NI will be a part of the Republic of Ireland but unfortunately there will be war before it happens. Those who wont see that will be surprised when the war breaks out.

[@johnj.anthonymcquade6876]

what wars this your on about load of balls loyalists have accepted their going into a united ireland they have accepted it its finished now drug dealers are taking over areas now you gotta watch out for the kids not to get sucked into the drugs culture

[@ragerancher]

The people of Norther Ireland are NOT British. Brits are English, Scottish and Welsh. N.I does not belong to Britain but it does belong in the UK as the name states clearly "The united Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland" therefore Northern Irish are NOT brits. The whole attitude of people in Ireland towrds English is pathetic. N.I is part of the UK because the RI said it could! N.I is part of us fair and square and if it comes under attack it is the same as attacking england.

[@lenn85]

Here's a fact: The population of this Island is lower now than it was in the early 19th Century. Immigration is not a problem. Our economy has never been stronger, the only Irish people who cant get a job these days are the ones too lazy to work. Ireland will always be Ireland, anyone who thinks that its culture will be destroyed by a tiny number of immigrants is just paranoid. Is our culture is really that weak?

[@42n0rris]

"tens.... or maybe hundreds were thrown"?!?!?!?!

[@scottmcgill6375]

this rioting could have been prevented if they let us parade in our own country

[@merseybeast76]

Ever thought of this one. Try getting to know your fellow countrymen. Just for once, listen to another point of view. 100 yrs ago, L,pool had the same problem. We all grew together and fought against the real enemy. Dont hide from each other in ghettos, your all actually the same. Beware the new danger from mecca

[@bradlambert371]

but they were different religions so it's the same thing

[@paulwils0n]

It's not meant to offend, it just does. Maybe its because there's people in defiance of surrender to home rule, in which case I can understand you calling me an 'orange bastard'. It's just the way it is. People can go on till they're blue in the face about 'The North of Ireland' and 'Free Derry'. Fact is the country is part of the British colony. When the majority dont want the north, (chucky ar la and all that) it'll be handed back to the Irish.

Government is the key in any civilazation its just that no government have prefected itself.

Its not about money

[@johnj.anthonymcquade6876]

oh it is trust me if it wasn't about money the northern ireland state-let you so love would of never been the ira would of made the 32 county irish republic in 1921

[@lenn85]

I love arguing with fenians!! Oh by the way James Connolly didn't drive the black and tans out of anywhere and he didn't sign any treaties. This is largely due to the fact that he was executed in 1916. Maybe you should educate yourself a bit more about Irish history before calling other people ignorant.

[@Winky4u]

make love not war.

No worries

The parade successfully walks the correct route year after year then change is proposed NOT by the parade organisers. In Northern Ireland this respone is understandable.

You know this video really helps to explain why rational people down here in the Republic don't want the six counties back. They are more trouble then they are worth. If the island of Ireland was a body, the six counties would be amputated.
