Yesterday's events in Dublin were somewhat unusual. Indymedia has some exciting pictures of the action, although they have taken the strange decision to block out the faces of random people. More here.
Because I am a bit stupid, I went looking for the riot in the afternoon so that I could take some pictures of it. Everything seemed to be over by then, although O'Connell Street did look well bashed up. But that's what it always looks like. I noticed that someone had chucked a chair through the Progressive Democrats' offices on Sth Frederick Street.
Overheard remark: "Laying into the Guards is fine, but buring cars - that's out of order".
Here are some pretty scary pictures of rioters laying into some Chinese guy on Westland Row for no obvious reason: http://www.maths.tcd.ie/~z/today/ (thanks to Paul for this one)

That last link doesn't seem to be working.
The decision to blur (some) faces in photos was almost certainly taken by the photographer, rather than indymedia, btw.

RSF have obviously got to that last website.
People were probably using it to share "Too Sexy..." MP3s.
