A chairde for the first time ever the Greater Ardeoin resident collective marched through Ardoyne and onto the crumlin road, as the march reached the top of Estorial Park marchers found their path blocked by heavily armed PSNI riot squads even though the parades commission had approved Ardoyne residents could march on the Ardoyne and Crumlin Roads. After much negotiation the PSNI moved aside to let peaceful residents onto the Crumlin Road. Only days before PSNI chief Matt Baggott is on record in saying his officers will be there to protect the march, as you see this video makes him and his organisation out to be lairs. As the GARC march passes Twaddle his officers dressed in full riot gear faced peaceful marchers/residents and turned their backs on hundreds of hostile loyalists, who were aloud to stand just feet away from the march. Unlike what was reported in the British media loyalist thugs many of the connected with paramilitaries shouted abuse and attacked our parade with stones, bottles, golf balls and as you can here one blast bomb niether of this is reported in any of the media. Is this Matt Baggott's idea of protecting citizens marching on our so-called shared spaced? Almost two hours before the GARC parade 30 loyalists bigots got a PSNI armed guard as they were pushed through our area, in turn the Orange men triumphantly marched through Ardoyne then boarded a bus and drove back to the main 12th parade. This is at the start of the video and after the Orange marched had well passed you can see residents and friend being pushed like animals back into there street by PSNI/RUC thugs. Watch the video and decide chairde would you want these bigots marching past your house? End sectarian marches, we shall overcome.
