Civil Disturbances: Northern Ireland 9th June

[IRISH]

Tonight there's ongoing Civil Disturbances across Northern Ireland as the Northern Ireland Fire and Rescue Service deal with multiple major fires in parts of Belfast, Portadown and Ballyclare

Police Officers are being attacked and buses, cars and homes are being set alight as people "protest" an attack on a man last night in North Belfast

A man was arrested after he attempted to behead another man in the middle of the street when locals and police stopped the incident.

One male was taken to hospital with serious neck, eye and back injuries

Long night in store for Northern Ireland's Emergency Services

You managed to completely avoid mentioning why the native people are literally up in arms.

He mentioned it though its only part of the reason.

The Riots were actually sparked by the stabbing and attempted beheading by a immigrant from Sudan. Overall its a both anti-immigration and anti-police riot. There have been riots against immigration every year for the past few years.

Maybe have another read Scoobyd.

I did write protest as "protest" as those of us familiar with Northern Ireland will know last nights trouble and again tonight is just people taking advantage of a situation to cause trouble .

Thank you

Declan, aka Mr "Irish", you're a good man.
Please be careful out there.
We don't want to see anything happen to you.

Police and firefighter jobs across the world are dangerous enough without adding something like this.
