Belfast Bonfire Riot Forces Police to Retreat From Estate

[@YungBrendan]

You guys only care when its an irish bonfire in Newlodge. Bunch of hypocrites. Yet the Loyalist bonfires are 5x the size with no police presence.

[@nathanfinlay103]

Because we're not dirty scumbags like you....

@@nathanfinlay103 that's right, you're worse.

You can clearly see that theirs still a lot of bias in the psni to wards unionists, Same aim different aim.

[@northernmufclad424]

Two tier policing.

[@dafttool]

A giant bonfire in the middle of heavily populated structures? That’s just plain stupid. That’s NOT safe. I don’t care why you would want it; only why such recklessness is ill-advised. Find a better location, or don’t do it at all, whatever “it” is you’re trying to do

In your front yard sounds like a good idea

12th July bonfires are worse .

[@dafttool]

Robert Kelly They’re idiots. And I hear Britain has the same sort of problems with fireworks as America does, terrorizing & traumatizing everyone’s pets with their foolishness. I’ve spent every 4th of July for over a decade babysitting my dogs & horses, fireworks going off all around us

[@teamawaken8296]

Robert Kelly you don’t see us “prods” knocking out police men tho we let them come in and take it but them it’s a different mater

[@JohnKobaRuddy]

I agree with your sentiment but their are few places to put one in the area an area by the way that had many innocent people interned at long kesh concentration camp which these bonfires commemorate

Since when is being Republican a bad thing ? It's a political party

[@micoolkidfilms3270]

This isn’t American republicans they’re Irish republicans in British occupied Northern Ireland who want to kick the brits out

[@TICTACMANTIPS]

10 Catholic teenagers chased them out LOL

[@RobertK1993]

Might be Protestant Republicans you see, unlike Unionism and Loyalism they have been many Irish Protestant Republicans/Nationalism compared to Catholic Unionists.

[@JohnKobaRuddy]

Robert Kelly true but in this case it’s unlikely we have no problem with Protestants or Protestantism it’s the ones who despise us and want to continue holding onto a land that isn’t theirs

[@eternalwheel]

Obviously it was a tactical retreat. They balanced up whether staying and trying to stop the bonfire or leaving and letting them get on with it was the best move for public order. They chose the latter. The bonfire went ahead and the same people who were fighting the police earlier in the day turned on each other later that night and a man was stabbed to death and others injured. Leave them too it - its their estate if they want to trash it then let them but don't waste taxpayers money fixing it up afterwards.

Ruining their own areas, an that’s not a pro SF rant, my Grandfather used to say it 69-72 only drags down your area and upsets your own neighbours nothing republican about it... Rioting in your own area or country is absolutely pointless... If you wanna riot, way off to Downing Street or the likes of it...
