Civil War Sparks Mayhem In Belfast (PHOTOS)

As a civil war goes on  in Belfast, Ireland between British Protestants and the Irish-Catholic minority, yet another night of terror breaks out. Tensions between the two groups have been building up for years and have finally taken a tragic turn. Shots were fired in northern Belfast for the third night leaving 30 police officers wounded, adding to the 82 collective injuries that night. Police officers were shot at four to six times, however, it was said that rioters were just trying to shoot out the cameras on patrol cars that police use to gather evidence.

The violence had originally started last Sunday night just before mass Protestant parades held by the Orange Order brotherhood. This is an annual event that never ceases to ignite sectarian tension that had been between the Irish Catholic and the British Protestants, who in turn make up the majority of the population. Both Peter Robinson and Martin McGuiness, leaders of Northern Ireland’s Protestant-Catholic government, agreed to meet with police commander Mark Baggott to confer about suppressing mob violence set fourth by Irish Nationalists residing in working-class Catholic neighborhoods.
