A Protestant mob goes head to head with the police, after it was voted to remove The British flag from the Belfast City Hall building for most of the year. The flag is said to be flown from the dome for centuries. Apparently, the conflict is between Irish Catholics and British Protestants. Five officers and two security guards were injured at the hour long conflict, as well as many of the people involved such as an Associated Press Photographer:"A club came down on my hand as I was taking pictures and caught my finger really bad. It was right on the camera trigger. There's blood all over my camera," photographer Peter Morrison said in an interview from his bed at Belfast's Royal Victoria Hospital.
Hopefully this conflict can be resolved, because how I see it these problems are deeper rooted, than just the flag.
