Doubtful that this has anything to be with Brexit, the border or anything other than the ‘usual’ recreational rioting accompanied by some lunatic with a gun
The gunman was shooting at the police and the journalist was incredibly unfortunate to be in the vicinity. I doubt this would have made the news in England has it been a police officer who had been killed. That is the sad situation in Northern Ireland.
Interesting to see a lot of comment about how far this has set the country back following Game of Thrones etc. The violence has always been a strong undercurrent since the ‘peace’ began.I’d be surprised if any of the English readers are aware of Ian Ogle.

FWIW, I have no trouble at all believing that huge, ongoing uncertainty about the border and the Union is fuelling and fanning any flames of chaotic discontent in the region.
