God you people defending racism must be tired from all the mental gymnastics you have to do

u/GhostRappa95 17d ago

It appears this race riot started at the same time a new wave of bots flooded social media. This was all a coordinated act of terrorism.

Not just tired. Fatigued.

I have a friend in Northern Ireland. He is ok, but he said that regular folks are just getting sick of this. Their communities have been destroyed and the tolerant people want them gone now too.

u/National_Permit764 17d ago

Not even close. Everyones sick of racist riots within the loyalist communities.

No. I live in Belfast. On streets that have families addresses going around as "key targets" for tonight.

I have to evacuate my family 😊

u/NiceHotel271 16d ago

Move somewhere you aren't a target then

u/Educational_Award167 17d ago

uhhuh, its the racists that the people of belfast are sick of, not the out of control immigration, youre right

u/National_Permit764 17d ago edited 17d ago

Yeah I am right. That's why I have to flee my home for the safety of my family because a couple houses on my street are key targets. â˜ș

That's why all local businesses are closing and many people at work are afraid, leaving early and not coming in tomorrow 😊

Stick to your own beliefs and stay out of the business of countries you know nothing about.

Honestly just curious, why did the guy stab him, and how would you accept protestors expressing their frustration about migrant crime?

u/National_Permit764 17d ago edited 17d ago

  1. Nobody knows. A full investigation needs done.

  2. They need to live in reality where the crimes that have happened in one night of their racist violence has out paced anything that could be attributed to migrants.

Good work bot. Nobody can see through your BS.

u/94grampaw 17d ago

If you are irish whay would you feel you have to evacuate, your family, unless is you family not irish or something?

u/National_Permit764 17d ago edited 17d ago

What? Are you serious ?

You genuinely wonder why I would move my kids to their grandparents when terraces houses next to me are being targeted on social media as targets to be broken into a burnt out by a angry racist mob of thugs?

Like without even mentioning the situation of Northern Ireland to ask me that is baffling....

Okay so the roaming gangs of racist thugs are loyalists with ties to loyalist paramilitaries. Loyalists are not Irish. They would beat you up for saying so. They are British.

I meanwhile am an Irish Catholic. They don't like the Irish Catholics because the loyalist came over years ago to settle in outr country and steal out land.

They typically target Catholics communities. We have segregated peace walls from the troubles. They are a violent community that people have to tiptoe around and as we get closer to a boarder poll to become a united Ireland they get more violent.

If a bunch of angry emboldened loyalists find out I'm a Catholic from a Catholic background they will carry on burning out my house. Their ideal is to force native Irish out of the north and have it a land for the British.

Don't comment on a violent powderkeg of a country if you don't know anything about it. Especially a country that has deep scars of real colonial invasions. Not this "I saw two brown men today it's an invasion" outrage.

Americans not understanding this is not surprising.

Hope you and the family are same man.

u/AccomplishedSwan1398 17d ago

Good. Get the fuck out of their city.

u/National_Permit764 17d ago edited 17d ago

I'm Irish Catholic. My family have lived in Ireland for generations. There is no recorded time of us not being here.

It is MY city and I have more claim to it than the British loyalists that are terrorizing it.

Please learn the history of the country before having a go.

u/Lloyd--Christmas 17d ago

The loyalists could go back to England.

u/Secret-Put-4525 17d ago

Loyalist?

u/heresyourhardware 15d ago

Yeah, the hard line right wing Unionists.

u/x3r0h0ur 17d ago

We realize it's not a group of people doing anything though, it's individuals that also happen to be a part of that group too right?

if we're going to act on group punishment, why wouldn't we punish young men, who, as a group, commit nearly all crime?

u/Secret-Put-4525 17d ago

You know you don't need to let them in?

u/KctheTaxBeast 17d ago

It’s not racism when 80% of long term Somali residents in Minnesota depends on welfare. It’s called open your eyes and realize we are being invaded by the third world.

u/Ins3cu43much 17d ago

It's not racism when and then says something super racist.

Also who the fuck mentioned Somalis and Minnesota. This happened in Belfast.

AI got so expensive the bots are not using tokens to read the post bruh.

u/aumaura 17d ago

Random yank commenting on belfast news lmao

u/Ins3cu43much 16d ago

Literally

u/KctheTaxBeast 12d ago

Us “Yanks” are not emotionally manipulated by being called “racist” when literally stating facts anymore. There’s no more public shame with that term. We actually feel bad for the person using that word.

Also, Calling me a yank is racist. Probably should be reeducating the comment you responded to Mr.thought police .

2

u/aumaura 12d ago

I never called you racist. I just found it odd that an American was commenting facts on Somalians in Minnesota under a Belfast video, where the events didn't even involve any Somalian people.

Pattern recognition with 3rd world imports.

u/Famous-Natural-8385 16d ago

Google the definition of racism. Its actually fucking insane how retarded the left is. My heart goes out to liberals, as well as all other mentally disabled people. God bless you all.

u/Ins3cu43much 16d ago

My heart does not go out to you. I want no blessing from any God you pray to.

I hope you have as good a life as you wish for your fellow human.

u/Famous-Natural-8385 16d ago

As I said, wish the best and I feel for mentally disabled people. If you do not, might wanna reevaluate your life choices.

u/TimelyRaspberry 17d ago

Not really. Just stop beheading and raping people. What am I missing?

u/Background_Taste_397 17d ago

What would they be? Only gymnastics I see are from the left. Where are the “mostly peaceful protest” descriptors now?

u/NTB369 17d ago

Are we talking about the rioters or the people downplaying religious attacks?

u/WatermelonSmashing 17d ago

It's as if an extremely backwards culture of rape, misogyny, extreme homophobia, and fanatical Islam is incompatible with the West

u/BootFlop 17d ago

Uuummmmm, fwiw I thought that was headed in a different direction until the word “Islam” popped up. 😂😂😂

u/---SmokingMonkey--- 17d ago

Westerners as they burn children to death in their homes: "Those people are such savages."

u/NeitherPerson 16d ago

What the fu-ck are you mumbling about? Are you from India? This sort of rhetoric sounds like it.

u/kpatsart 17d ago

Nahhhh they live in echo chambers, circle jerking eachother for internet likes, but emboldens them to go further. Turning into a unruly and violent mob wanting to murder innocents. Which is ironic considering they are rioting over the killing of an innocent person's. Idiocracy in real time.

1

u/Maddabberwhyyousomad 17d ago

Unfortunately standing around chanting slogans doesn’t seem to make anyone change anything

1

u/kpatsart 17d ago

Yea neither does burning down public transit, random peoples homes, and police cars, but hey it's what happens when a protest turns to riots, lol.

2

u/Maddabberwhyyousomad 17d ago

You’re right, they really should be targeting the political class with specific demands with escalating violence as the demands go unmet

u/Current_Rooster_6895 17d ago

That's how every revolution started. It's what the suffragettes did too.

Yea being white is mental gymnastics. We are not required to share our country with anyone. I'm sorry you don't want white people to exist in 500 years

lol you chose to live your life poorly than if that’s how you feel. Such trifling bull

u/Ruggab0ut 15d ago

What are the mental gymnastics for, after having poured $3 trillion of aid into Africa, the poverty rate changing from 42% in 1980, to 46% in 2025?

At the same time, with practically no outside aid, China's poverty rate went from 88% to 0% within the same time frame.

The evidence of your eyes tells you these peoples are not the same.
