I mean - seriously? !!!!!!?

What were their parents doing when these idiots were rioting?
What were they "rioting" about? Nothing thats relevant in their lifetime.
Do they realise how many people get disrupted on trains etc?

Very frustrating. :mad:

Very stupid people. They didn't realise they disrupted nationalist minded people that wanted to travel by train to Dublin for the Easter commemorations

Very frustrating indeed.

Not sure what the relevance is of what their parents were doing while they were still allegedly rioting.

Well clearly not being parents and actually being aware of what their children are doing? Or perhaps showing a bit of leadership and maturity and discouraging such activities?

And bearing in mind most of them hadnt the wit to cover their faces, and allowed themselves to be recorded on camera, i'd be fairly certain they're rounding up the right people.

Exactly. So hardly well thought through.

It says they were exhibiting riotous behaviour not that they were rioting i.e. protesting against anything.

There was also a van hijacked and burnt,someones livelyhood at risk and the only people suffering are the people in their own area,I doubt if they travelled from Belfast to riot.No doubt many of the same rioters will be the first to complain if bread or milk deliveries are cancelled to their local shop or worse still their local offlicence.........

Two teenagers have been charged following trouble in County Armagh.
It happened at Kilwilkie, Lurgan, on Monday afternoon.
A 15-year-old is due to appear in court later on charges of riotous behaviour, arson and placing an object on a railway line in Lurgan.
Another 15-year-old has been charged with riotous behaviour, making a petrol bomb and throwing a petrol bomb. He is due to appear in court in April.

That is the problem a lot off parents have no idea what their Children are doing I know when my eldest two were that age it was hard to keep tracks on them all the time .

I read the article too; I'm not sure what point you're making.

The OP asked what the kids were rioting against, implying that everything in their lives is fine. I pointed out that they weren't necessarily protesting. I'm not defending them, in fact, I'm pointing out that their actions were probably even more mindless than a protest!
