A Not Very Calm Twelfth

Riots in Belfast:

A bus was hijacked and driven at police during the disturbances ahead of the annual Twelfth of July celebrations.
Crowds of nationalists also threw petrol bombs and masonry at police during serious rioting in the west of the city.
Fifty-one plastic bullets were fired in response by police in the Broadway and Oldpark areas.
More than 40 petrol bombs were thrown at police, who said crowds of about 150-200 people were involved in the violence at Broadway and about 200 in both the Oldpark and New Lodge areas of north Belfast.
A number of arrests were made.
Police said an ambulance crew was attacked whilst they attended a hoax call in Brighton Street off the Falls Road.
A fire engine had its windscreen smashed by youths throwing bricks and bottles whilst attending a fire at the side of the Glen Road in west Belfast.
Police are investigating reports that gunshots were fired at Broadway at about 0115 BST. There are no reports of any injuries as a result.

Not exactly what I would consider a holiday.  Bad traditions are hard to kill.
