Violence Rocks Belfast for a Second Night

The violence was sparked Wednesday by an argument between two women as parents picked up their children from a Catholic school in a Protestant enclave.
Late Thursday, hundreds of Catholic and Protestant youths gathered in the Ardoyne district, pelting police in riot gear.
