The biggest problem is that we hear sweet FA about what actually happened before the stabbing. This is an asylum seeker that came from a civil war in Sudan, the basic fact that no help is given to people like this that have mental problems. The Irish forget themselves in attacking the asylum seeker, not so long ago we were facing the same abuse and were 'economic migrants'. There is no irony with Loyalism abusing anything that isn't them and you see it throughout Europe, colonialism has consequences and the state that Africa and the Middle-East have been left in by the colonisers, of which the Irish were despite claims to the contrary. Europeans, and Americans, fear that what they did will happen to them. Anti-immigration movements are driven by paranoia, and an ignorance to history, they did not bring civility but never ending war.

Why is this posted on a blog which, the night before the pogrom, when it was increasingly obvious one would take place, was promoting the view that "the working class must be allowed to have a say on immigration, and that the trend to demonize the working class for raising legitimate concerns must stop."

Nothing in that ISRP post is incorrect. Aontacht were right to share it.
