I'm from Northern Ireland, I fucking hate the orange walks and everything to do with the 12th. Riots broke out in my town one year (I mean they happen every year but it was really bad this one time) because for some stupid reason they decided to hang a bunch of flags along the wall of the Catholic Church. The church asked them to remove them, the orange men said no. So the church took them down themselves and the loyalists went fucking nuts. They started protesting and rioting, and they eventually stole a bus, drove it to the entrance of the Catholic estate and blocked the only road in/out and set the bus on fire, then continued to riot. The whole street was lined with riot vans and they had to bring in water by helicopter.

I had friends in that estate and along that road and they were fucking terrified. There were parents with little kids that literally couldn't get somewhere safe cause they were trapped.
