Violence in Northern Ireland scares off new immigrants



| Reddit | Tumblr | Digg | FARK

The marchers really are pathetic. The government that tolerates these hate filled, violent marches is hardly much better. The Guardian:

Immigrant families from East Timor fled a Catholic area of Northern Ireland on Friday night when loyalist rioters tried to attack nationalist homes, a Sinn Fein councillor said today.

"Around 100 loyalists attacked police who prevented them attacking nationalist homes," said John O'Dowd, who is a member of the Northern Ireland Assembly.

The families from East Timor packed their bags and ran from their homes in Portadown, Co Armagh on Friday night, when the area was engulfed in violence, he said.
