Crowd chanting anti-immigrant slogans clashes with police hours after stabbing incident outside school
Buses and trams have been torched and a shop looted during riots in Dublin city centre after a stabbing attack outside a school left three children injured.
Police and politicians called for calm amid warnings against misinformation as violence escalated from a demonstration that began on Thursday afternoon at the scene of the incident.
There were clashes with riot police as some demonstrators let off flares and fireworks, while others grabbed chairs and stools from outside bars and restaurants.
I’m confused - the article does not mention anything about the attacker being an immigrant or from any certain origin/group. What’s the riot for then?
The attacker was an Algerian immigrant with an Irish passport.
The guy that stopped the attack was a Brazilian immigrant, a good man.
The absolute chancers that started the riots were far-right mentally challenged Knackers that showed up in black masks.
From where?
My bad, typo.
Ow wow, I didn’t read Algerian in that at all… Whilst it’s almost the same spelling.

Don’t let right wing know there’s immigrants from out of space

You just need to avoid Alderaan places.
Every article and, dare I say, even Lemmy post has been dancing around it. I guess in order not to add fuel to the fire? Or to avoid being the first to throw the proverbial stone. Or preventing a major stinker by not waiting for official confirmation.
I think it’s pretty stupid as a) it creates the strange disconnect you mention, that will just be filled in later today or tomorrow anyway and b) it just completely confirms bigots’ point that there are certain societal issues that are forbidden to talk about
