Catholic Teen Caught Out Rioting

The presence of a Catholic teenager at a Loyalist riot in Lisburn last week is just further proof that many of the rioters are not motivated by politics. Just the good old-fashioned desire to stick up a finger (guess which one) at the authorities and carry out Unionist-sanctioned acts of vandalism.

Reg Empey has come back down to earth a little in recent days and started to make some noises about ending the violence. Brilliant! I wonder if he was on some sort of brain-numbing medication when he and Paisley were making their dire warnings last week?

Why even pretend to be in control? When you’ve got Catholic teenagers turning up at supposed Loyalist, erm, protests, you know it’s not about disenfranchisement, equal rights, appeasement or any other buzzword that’s in “The Oppressed Person’s Handbook”. Talk about Unionism in crisis? Looks like an identity crisis to me!
