Given the preoccupation over the past month among many regarding the ill’s and evil’s of bonfires, its surprising that the events of last night have raised relatively few eyebrows. A Divis Street internment anniversary bonfire last night resulted in substantial chaos. One of the busiest thoroughfares in the Province (if not the busiest), the Westlink, was impassable for several hours. Several other surrounding roads were also closed. A relatively small crowd, reported as being a few hundred, was involved in the disturbances which included the building of barricades and further fires, and the throwing of petrol bombs. Events took an even more sinister turn after midnight when several shots were fired. Was this the return of the Divis Hoods Liberation Army or just a normal communal commemoration?
