BUDAPEST PRIDE TURNED U-G-L-Y!!!

In a previous post, I was talking about Bomb threats happening in Budapest due to the festivities of Pride. Well it seems like it did turn quite ugly during their pride festival this past Saturday. 45 people were taken into custody and 10 others were injured during the parade. It seems that the community still has some far steps to take before they will be able to parade like that do here in Canada or the U.S. Its a shame really. Read below:

About 450 people took part in the march in central Budapest when extremists began throwing explosive devices, eggs, cobblestones and bottles at police and the marchers.

Police seized chemicals and Molotov cocktails from a six-member group waiting for the demonstrators in an uninhabited flat along the route of the march.

Liberal member of Parliament Gabor Horn was hit and a police car carrying former undersecretary Gabor Szetey -- the first openly gay Hungarian politician -- and member of the European Parliament Katalin Levai was also attacked, Hungarian news agency MTI reported.

Three media trucks were damaged by protesters.

Police used tear gas and water cannon to disperse the extremists gathering around the fenced-off marchers in Heroes' Square. The demonstrators could leave the scene in a corridor leading to an underground station. [SOURCE]
