An excerpt from the AP...great way to express and celebrate one's culture, eh? Like I said...the stupidity brings no one validity and no respect will be given to such tactics...it is sickening...

In the latest riot statistics Friday, police said 37 officers and two soldiers had been wounded during the course of 145 attacks on their forces, including a dozen gun attacks. They had no statistics on injured civilians.

Police said they had seized 268 gasoline bombs and arrested 55 people.

In addition children's schools, Catholic and Protestant, have been bombed and burned, as well as homes of families. There can be no justification for any of it.
