Ardoyne DPP Protest

32CSM along with comrades from the RNU (Republican Network for Unity), the IRSP (Irish Republican Socialist Party) and some unaligned, held a dignified and peaceful protest in Ardoyne last Thursday the 14th August against the local DPP meeting. The 32CSM use these type of meetings to express our disgust at the very idea of British policing in our communities, and that of people working towards normalising foreign rule on our streets. The protest was a great success with over twice the number of people outside protesting , as there were inside.
However the protest took a harrowing turn when a local man approached members of the protest with what appeared to be a pipe bomb, he went on to explain that one of his young children had been playing with the device and had actually brought it into the family home. The item was inspected and decided to be nothing more than a hoax, the child had found the hoax device in the playground within the community centre grounds. The device had been well put together and was obviously intended to cause tension and suspicion. As the protest broke up the PSNI/RUC arrived in a number of land rovers, clearly they were expecting some sort of incident to occur.
