Seems like another incident of far-right anti-immigration tactics stoked by Musk/X and bots.

POV: A Sudanese man is appropriately charged and detained after stabbing another man. No other details are given. Out come the anti-immigrants because how dare an immigrant harm one of us...only WE WHITE MEN are allowed to do the harming.



Ah, so only liberals are allowed to riot. Good to know.

The government is trying to clamp down on these videos due to racial tensions.


The murderer falsely claimed racism and his family covered up the crime. It was an ugly and horrific incident in which the outrage is justified but also being fanned by anti-immigrationists.

Ironically the Sikh murderer was born in the UK and the Polish victim was an immigrant.

..which clearly shows that the outrage is about a brown person attacking a white person.


More than that, in the UK, there's been various coverups by the police of sexual assualts by minority communites and censorship by the government related to it. Remember last summers protests?
You may also remember the Reform Uk party winning a ton of local elections just last month (largest by percentage now) and how this was of concern for Prime Ministers Keir Starmer's party for the next parlementary election season.

Organized underage sex trafficking rings no less.

The far right is exploiting legitimate issues and the far left is driving people towards them by pretending that the issues aren't legitimate.

This is what presumably prompted the outrage: locals are fed up with the back door immigration that allows people to enter and easily seek asylum through a seemingly unguarded, porous border (at least that’s what two articles I read earlier today pointed to).

Everyone has a tipping point when it comes to immigration (ahem…look at the US). And incidents of violent crime often prompt attention, and sometimes prompt a strong reaction.

I think the pp who racialized this really missed the point. Aggressively protesting (like this) is directly attributable to pent up frustration. I mean, look at the post-George Floyd riots/protests.

If you don’t want such an unnecessary, dangerous reaction then the government needs to do a better job of taking the temperature of voters and anticipating where the tipping point is.


Its porous because of the situation with the UK. Something they have no problem with if you are a white person. And again the rates of violence by immigrants is less than the native born population. We are talking about Northern Ireland here!

I am going to ignore your comparison to George Floyd riots.


How many beheadings has the native population attempted in the last couple years?

Is the issue really about an attempted beheading, or that a refugee black man attacked a white man?

FYI The majority of mass shootings and serial killers in the US are committed by native born white males.


How about in Ireland?

Do you not know the difference between Ireland and Northern Ireland? This thread is not about Ireland.

White men murder people all day every day. Why aren’t we talking about that?

This isn't happening in either Ireland or the US.

The outrage is mostly about the police handcuffing, mocking, and arresting the dying victim because they reflexively believed his attackers.

There's also a secondary issue of Sikhs being given an exemption to the general prohibition on carrying knives. The murder weapon was an 8" supposedly ceremonial knife.

That people like you minimize what happened and try to de-legitimize the complaints only feeds into and amplifies the far right's agitation.

Ireland doesn't have mass shootings thanks to their gun laws. But, yes, in Ireland, the most evil killers are white males.

Stabbing?? The victim was nearly beheaded. This was not X or bots.


Elon Musk personally tweeted gathering spaces for protests and shared far-right tweets.

"On Tuesday night, houses, cars, and a bus were set on fire in Belfast - in one area, hundreds of masked men shouted "foreigners out", our reporter says"

Why is it foreigners out? Are all foreigners committing crimes or beheadings as you want to use that term repeatedly?

Elon seems to forget that he's also an immigrant. Oh, but, he's white, so of course, right wingers are ok with that.
