Three young children were among five people injured in a knife attack in Dublin on Thursday that sparked riots in the city centre and which police have not yet ruled out any motive over, including whether it could be terror-related.

Such rioting is almost unprecedented in Dublin. There are no far right parties or politicians elected to parliament, but small anti-immigrant protests have grown in the last year.

Ireland pls, no.

    Breaks my heart to see people channeling this energy but only to hate immigrants. There are multinational companies destroying the earth with emissions that are killing far more people than immigrants in Ireland ever have, and they’re using Ireland as a tax haven, but this is what they choose to throw a riot over? In fact, I just checked and a bunch of the corporations using Ireland as a tax haven are American pharmaceutical companies. You’re worried about the wrong foreigners FFS! sadness

    The collapse of the Soviet Union has been a disaster for humanity. It’s gonna be at least a few years before China manages to conquer western Europe and purge the reactionaries.

        oh, didn’t realize that. so the stabber was an immigrant and that’s why these chuds are rioting?

        tbh I was thinking about the zionist guy in the USA who stabbed a Palestinian child and assumed this was something similar

          The stabber is not confirmed to be an immigrant, article says the police have not commented.

          Pure speculation: 60% chance it was an immigrant and the people on the scene propagated that info which caused the fascists to riot. 40% chance these hogs immediately assumed it must’ve been an immigrant even if it was an Irish person who did it.

            From what I understand, he was an immigrant but had been an Irish citizen for almost 20 years. So it’s not like he was a fresh off the boat refugee. This would be like if a second generation, child of legal Mexican immigrant did a spree shooting and people used it to justify building a border wall to keep illegals out.

    Gonna place a bet that it’s a false flag Hummus or ISIS attack to shut down any pro-Palestine activity in Ireland

    Edit: lmao saw one rioters holding an “Irish Lives Matter” sign, guess they really aren’t any different from your average Irish-American chud
