Why will it be interesting? Please clarify. Just should point out the date was 12th August the annual apprentice boys parade or should I say annual incitement parade through the town centre of Derry which has been causing trouble in Derry since the battle of bogside in 68. I think think the fladh will be ok but if u don’t want to come I’m sure us derry folk and the fladh will survive.

As is usually, blame others. There was no mention on here of the trouble in Belfast and Banbridge last week where several vehicles were hijacked and burnt out and several people arrested for rioting after the internment bonfires. Not an orange man, apprentice boy or Protestant in sight. They will use any excuse to cause trouble.

I agree 100% with the point you have made the rioting is completely pathetic and I am sick of it but the first comment had brought up the fleadh which was complete irrelevant to what happen yesterday and I think it is important to realise that these sectarian processions are nothing more than shows of hatred. I worked in Derry city centre for a few years and witnessed this particular march first hand and was shocked at the bile being spewed by the participants. So yes it would not take much to set these youth off (nor would it anywhere eg English riots 2012) but I think it has to be time if we all want to move forward to disband these inciting spectacles I’m sure you don’t need a history lesson but just look at the rules of being a member of the orange order.

Think articles should always be set in context otherwise you are (with or without intent) misconstruing the truth which should be the foremost goal of your profession. As regards looking at other websites etc is a cop out you have the power to give the full facts so give them and allow an argument around the whole story rather one side of it.

Hakuin, I doubt a 7 year old would know that. That child is being allowed to run wild on the streets. No excuse for that.

But you’re implying Declan that these incidents might just be wild kids causing trouble for shits and giggles. I know for a fact that this has never happened in the history of human civilisation ever.

Hakuin, let me quote you ” I know for a fact this has never happened in the history of human civilization”
You must be a all knowing entity! Wow

Just one of a multitude of reasons why I’m such an awesome guy…..

Yeah Toorkeel I agree. Scary prospect.
