Loyalists burn a bus on Shankill Road and locals cheer them on

Loyalists burn a Belfast bus on the Shankill road. Locals cheer them on. Police have also come under attack.
Police confirmed a bus was set alight at the junction of Lanark Way and the Shankill Road in the west of the city. The disruption is taking place close to where a number of loyalist protesters had earlier gathered.
Police also confirmed they had received a report of an assault on a press photographer.

I googled how much a brand new double-decker bus costs and its £355,000 in the UK and this bus was probably a Wright's bus built in Belfast. That's the British taxpayers having to pay more money into the economic wasteland basketcase of the occupied stolen six counties of Ireland.

They burn British buses, attack British police, hijack and burn their British neighbour's cars... Loyalists are doing more damage to their own country than Republicans have done in years!

@@TheRisingOf16 B0ll0cks. They're not British, they're Irish. I invite any of them to come this side of the water and tell anyone they're British... they'd get laughed at. But it's true they're a waste of taxpayers' this side of the sea who fund these zombies. Don't worry, people are waking up and won't be long in cutting the cord.

Brits out.

[@actionado8216]

Wow what a fine bunch of people they are. Tossing petrol bombs at moving vehicles and at the drivers too. Pff they should be arrested and charged for attempted murder for that. And the eegits egging them on, could do with being behind bars too. Ridiculous how they think burning a bus with people inside is great craic. Then again they are loyalists, so I shouldn't be too surprised.

Listen to the video at 1:20 - one of the loyalist lads shouts "go to the f**king gate!" Why they were running towards the interface gate?

[@pauldunneska]

In the comments Stuart 1870 said it was because Republican youths were attacking on the Springfield Road/Lanark way junction which I presume caused the charge of the light brigade at 1:08

[@BerghemDeSura]

@@pauldunneska Anyone who believes what Stu says wants to have a word with themselves. These çüñts have been rioting all week and he still wants to blame "them 'uns". 🤦 And in actual fact what the kid, for that's what he was, actually shouted was "go to the füçkíñ' garrrrrhhhhhh". Such an exceedingly high level of education that he can't master a word of four letters and one syllable. 🤪

[@pauldunneska]

@@BerghemDeSura I actually think it was an adult shouting go for the gate. But you are right they can't pronounce simple words even in adulthood.

[@user-go3jv8rw7i]

@@pauldunneska republican youth were actually stopped from getting involved in any of this rioting by various groups such as the IRSP, telling them all to go home and breaking up barricades they had set up. god bless the IRSM🇮🇪🏴🚩🇵🇸✊🏻

@@user-go3jv8rw7i Glad to see that. Let the loyalists burn themselves out of house and home.

Why burn something that provides them people transport? It's a service for the people.

the bus was used for shipments to the ra i heard😳

[@oscarosullivan4513]

The bus ran through nationalist and unionist areas. They decided in a non rational way that busing together isn’t a good idea
