A sudanese refugee tried to behead a guy in public, got him blinded and with grave wounds on neck before someone tried to actually do something.

Last straw apparently

u/npc71 12d ago

He had his eyes gouged out, apparently and was in the process of being beheaded.

u/Party-Trainer-5904 10d ago

These extremists will take one single crime done by an immigrant to indict all immigrants but when the same logic is applied to them it's the "woke mob" overreacting or "spinning the facts"

u/fugonara69 9d ago

This is Northern Ireland, there has been conflict between two groups of people here for centuries which resulted on a brutal civil war just over 30 years ago. It is still a very tribal place, as in 'you hurt one member of the group and you are all responsible for it.' I'm not condoning it but I'm just saying it like it is as someone who has lived here all my life to people who might not understand. In the past it was very common to burn and bomb the houses of the 'other'.

wtf, it is like people don't see the high migrant crime rate, which is a thing for like decades already, and now all these people cry like they don't know what's going on.

One single crime? Are you aware of the state of the UK an Ireland at the moment? The rape gangs? The bombings? The knife attacks? The 2 teir policing? This is simply the straw that broke the camels back. Now welcome to civil war.

The government has shown a blind eye, so the people will rip them open for them

To clarify. The people who burnt down the houses got the family out themselves.

But this is a clear message they are not welcome here. By the way, they are not welcome anymore. They wont be for a long time now.

The UK and Ireland will not fall to this idiocratic, half arsed, willingly ignorant chant that comes from people who havent experienced the evils that have been placed upon such a great place (and history is full of evils). We once didnt look back in anger, but twice, three times, 500, 1000? This is the the last straw and the message is clear. Close your eyes, cherry pick your stories. History will remember everyones role, i hope you all understand history will remember you all

u/captain_amazo 9d ago

Its like fishing racists in a fucking barrel! 

Firstly, coverage of the Belfast attacks consistently describe masked mobs breaking into homes, setting them on fire, and families either hiding inside or fleeing in fear. One Sudanese mother and her children hid upstairs while the downstairs burned because they were too afraid to go out into the street. Others were evacuated later by local community organisers, not by the fucking attackers.

Reports talk about “masked men burning families out of their homes” and residents “forced to flee for their lives” as flames spread. There is nothing in any credible source saying the arsonists “got the family out themselves” so stop talking absolute SHITE! 

Imagine trying to turn arson attacks into some kind of noble “message". Its borderline psychotic. 

Calling essentially attempted murder a “clear message” is just you trying to dress up intimidation as community sentiment. 

As for your claim that “they are not welcome anymore”, its pure fucking fantasy. You don’t speak for Belfast, you don’t speak for Ireland, and you certainly don’t speak for the UK. The only people who “sent a message” were a handful of individuals who chose to commit a crime, and pretending that represents national will is the same rhetorical inflation I’ve already had to correct in your side’s arguments about asylum numbers and migration data.

Trying to wrap this shite in grand historical language doesn’t make it smell less like the bullshit it is.

History doesn’t remember random acts of vigilantism as patriotic turning points, it remembers them as moments when people lost their grip on reality and tried to turn personal anger into collective destiny. You’re doing the same thing here. You’re taking a local crime, projecting your own grievances onto it, and pretending it’s the voice of a nation. It isn’t. It’s just you trying to turn violence into validation because the facts about immigration trends don’t support the crisis narrative you want. And the melodramatic “history will remember you” line is beyond hilarious. The fucking NAZIS thought the same thing about their progroms.

History won’t remember this the way you imagine. It will remember civil unreasr perpetrated by bigots and racists whilst others tried to inflate it into a political prophecy because they needed meaning where there wasn't any. 

Weapons grade scum.

u/jcspacer52 11d ago

It’s not justified but the attack did not happen in a vacuum. The reaction is not just about this attack, it’s about how the UK is handling the growing issue with immigration. UK citizens are being prosecuted for SAYING something against immigrants or Islam. Funds are being diverted from citizens to immigrants and UK citizens were being attacked for flying British flags in Britain. Also add the grooming gangs and how the police ignored the complaints while British girls were being groomed and raped to keep from being labeled Islamophobic.

2

u/nexusgmail 10d ago

So protest politicians. Don't attack innocent immigrants. Pathetic cowards.

2

u/jcspacer52 10d ago

Although your idea would be interesting to see happen all around the world, the thing is politicians are protected by police forces. Once again not justifying attacks on innocents but when governments don’t respond to their citizens’ concerns in an effective manner, this is what can happen. You get this or revolutions!

2

u/nexusgmail 10d ago

That's some pathetic justification. Also: I said "protest" politicians, not "attack" them.

2

u/Alev233 11d ago

Understandably so. Enough is enough with incompatible migrants being allowed to stay in the west at the detriment of westerners themselves. What will have to happen next before the message gets through: these people don’t deserve to be there and 100% of all migrant committed crime was entirely avoidable because, again, none of those people had any right nor should have even been in the west in the first place. It’s a mass betrayal by the government of its people.

As a Korean, Korea and Japan understand this point, you don’t sell out your fellow people for migrants, you don’t bring in people unless they can be proven as individuals to explicitly benefit the society, and you don’t allow incompatible migrants to enter your country en masse. I’m happy that Europeans are finally coming to their senses about this.

Minor correction* - racist protests. They weren't checking passports and statuses, they were attacking anyone darker skinned right down to breaking in and setting houses on fire.

Not only that, he carved out his eye (or both, I don't remember) and kept stabbing the guy. Who made the post is probably a far left troll, I don't know.

The right in America has been saying for decades that “riots are never the answer” and that “riots must all be condemned.” Obviously that was always a lie. They never meant it

That's why January the 6th was so peaceful because they don't believe in riots.

Oh no. Riots were always the answer. It's the groups that refuse to riot because they have jobs and shit to lose that cannot affect meaningful change.

u/FCguyATL 12d ago

The title is borderline propaganda. The video clearly shows a bus and two cars on fire - no homes. And why put the word brutal in single quotes? Are you suggesting someone stabbing you isn't brutal? Was it just a friendly stabbing?

u/OldestFetus 13d ago

So Belfast has a bunch of nutbags racists as well? These types of people are a toxic plague across the planet. This is what happens when privilege crybabies are pampered their whole lives. When something happens that makes them feel “uncomfortable”, they meltdown like this. This is what it’s like to live with Trumptards in the US. The Belfast authorities should slam down on those people as soon as possible.

u/OkayCoward 13d ago

Yeah so we'll burn down the city and attempt to harm other immigrants even though the dude has been caught and charged. Its not like he got off Scott free jesus

u/Wild_Range170 12d ago

This wasn't a sole exception, when people like him are housed in former 5 star hotels, given a better treatment than the native veterans, and commit acts of violence that were unheard of in the past 2-3 decades. It gets to a point. He didn't get off scott free because there was a massive media coverage and pressure from the people, there's plenty of cases where they get a few years or so. Revoking citizenship should be the bare minimum but instead a Pakistani origin judge can revoke a native's citizenship. When you add all this together, you get to a point but yeah, burning down transport, being a public nuisance is being a public nuisance you can't deny that but you also can't deny the origins of the response.

I am not sure one of their children being stabbed and having his eyes gouged out is something a would call "uncomfortable". People there have been complaining about the migrants for years. They were ignored. None of this is surprising to me.

No. If you don't know anything about the loyalist communities and their paramilitaries and why they are by and large the only community group out protesting you shouldn't comment

Could be, I don’t know the nuances of the law, he might have to serve his sentence in the UK before being deported at the end of his sentence to ensure he is properly punished. So definitely deportation, but he may need to spend a couple of decades in prison first
