That is how the Police have described the riots in Northern Ireland over the past two days.
People apparently used anything they could get their hands on, steel bars, brooms even golf balls and one woman officer is seriously injured after having a sheet of concrete thrown on her.
Nonetheless no one was shot.

Seems children as young as 8 joined in this. Children who had not even been born when the 'troubles' in Ireland ended.
So what is going on? Is this a blip or something more serious?
I guess I think it is a blip. All the old warriors are in Parliament and I cannot see that happening again.
However, a Catholic interviewed said he believed the situation had not changed that much. He believed Catholics are still being treated like second class citizens.
