As you are well aware, this happened in nationalist areas. it was strongly condemned by both Sinn Fein and the SDLP(for what that's worth).
I predicted a while ago it might be a rough summer in the north. While I don't excuse it, its understandable that nationalist youths wonder why their materials are confiscated after the Orangemen were allowed to almost burn half of Belfast down.
we have our own traditions, I don't like the whole idea of aping the orange men with bonfires.
