Man charged with attempted murder after Belfast stabbing left victim blind in one eye
The family of Stephen Ogilvie, who lost an eye in Monday’s stabbing in Belfast, say unrest “is not welcome” and that migrants “make a deeply valuable contribution” to Northern Ireland. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/crim...
That’s the thing, these violent racists don’t actually care about victims. It’s just their excuse to incite violence against immigrants.
One dumb/disturbed/bad person does not represent an entire group/ethnicity/nationality. FFS. Horrible people are just looking for an excuse to commit violence w/on repercussions.
And where is the talk of Farage's incitement or the £5M gift.
Ten times the guts of any of those spides out 'protesting' last night.
The attempted murder in Belfast was an appalling act of brutality by one individual. It has been universally condemned and the perpetrator has been arrested and charged. [1/2]
Torching the homes of innocent people because they’re not white is a truly chilling display of racist violence by organised fascists who have been legitimised and encouraged by mainstream political figures. Call it what it is. [2/2]
Call it what it is, yes! But also call out who it is - the likes of Farage - don’t let them squirm out of it
Labour: Tough on grannies and peaceful demonstrators, Easy on gangs of young fascist men.
A night of violence roiled Northern Ireland on Tuesday after the police charged a Sudanese man with attempted murder in the stabbing attack of another man in Belfast, prompting calls from anti-immigrant activists for protest.
Calling a racist pogrom "anti-immigrant activists" is part of the normalization of racist violence by right-wing extremists.
This seems important. Not sure why it's nine paragraphs in.
They’re racists not activists, dude, come on.
“Loyalist Paramilitaries launch pogrom against minority communities in Belfast at urging of social media baron” is not a hard headline to write. You should try telling people what is happening.
The violence was done by Loyalist paramilitary/ terrorists. They just use the far right bullshit to create even more havoc.
It's a racist pogrom you fucking cowardly bootlickers.
They are Nazi thugs. Plain and simple. Modern day versions of Hitler’s Brownshirts. Those who can’t see that are blind, morons, or both.
Anti-immigrant protest. Are you fucking kidding me?! There a fascists roaming the streets, setting houses on fire and dragging innocent people out. It’s disgusting what you sell as JoURnaLisM and you know it.
The headline is written like the response was okay in your opinion. NYT always sides with fascists.
Just an excuse by Loyalists to show hate again. They used to get their kicks by banning Catholics from jobs and social housing. The need a new outlet.
“anti-immigrant activists” = racist neo-nazi rioters
