Riots at 12th July Parade in Belfast

The transcript describes a violent escalation during a loyalist march, where participants hurled missiles and used stolen cars against police. The police responded with water cannons and plastic bullets. Political groups like Shin Fane called for calm, but tensions remained high, especially at the Ardoyne flashpoint. The Parades Commission allowed both groups to march on the same road, leading to clashes. The events are tied to historical conflicts dating back to King William's victory over King James, with some determined to continue these ancient battles.
