Quite something of a video. Riot police in Poland had to break up a crowd of nut job angry gay hating men who were trying to block the progress of the gay pride parade there. They used tear gas, a water canon, capsicum spray and concussion grenades, along with the usual riot formation with shields to push back the protestors.
What got me was how insanely angry the gay hating protestors were. I couldn't understand a word they were saying but it was clear they were totally enraged by the pride march. You have to wonder what makes them so like that.
Polish police used tear gas and a water cannon Saturday against right-wing extremists who were trying to block the first equality parade in the city of Lublin in eastern Poland.
More than 1,000 lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender rights activists with rainbow-colored flags and banners gathered Saturday in Lublin for the parade, while around 300 right-wing opponents stood in the march’s way. Police used tear gas, concussion grenades and high-pressured water to disperse them.
The right-wing protesters pelted police with stones and dispersed, but some small groups tried to get through the police cordon that was protecting the march.
The colorful parade then proceeded undisturbed.
The march took place after Lublin’s Court of Appeals on Friday overruled a ban by Mayor Krzysztof Zuk, who had cited security concerns as his reason for banning the parade. AP
