This sums up most things online these days:
““I think that we’ve seen an element of radicalisation. We have seen a group of people who take literally a thimble full of facts and make a bathtub of hateful assumptions and then conduct themselves in a way which is riotous and disruptive to our society.””
Knee jerk reactions get the best of people. It’s funny how the average Irish person is extremely pro Palestinian yet reacted the same way the average Israeli did after the October 7th attack.
The man in his late 40s, also being treated for serious injuries, was detained by police who said they were not looking for any other suspect.
I’d say he took some hiding. They interviewed a woman on RTE who said they had to make a circle around him to protect him.
Fair play to the Brazilian deliveroo driver coming in to clock him with his helmet. Smart and decisive.
Drew Harris and Helen McEntee need to be removed from their positions ASAP or else there will be a next time and it will be worse. Pretty dang scary just how many people are buying into alt-right ideology in this country.
He should never have been put there, we have plenty of our own to pull from and if we needed his expertise we could consult.
We need more prisons, stronger sentences and better pay and conditions so the guards is actually viable as a career.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Shoppers and tourists returned on Black Friday morning, walking past police officers guarding looted stores and patrolling the area in large numbers.
A five-year-old girl remained in a critical condition on Friday following emergency treatment for serious injuries sustained in the stabbing, which happened near a school and beside the main thoroughfare of O’Connell Street.
Police, who say they have not ruled out any motive including whether it was terror-related, have not commented on the nationality of a man detained in connection with the stabbings but there was immediate speculation online that he was foreign.
It took officers several hours to regain control after a group of local youths joined the protesters, some of whom were shouting “get them out”, with one carrying a sign saying “Irish Lives Matter”.
Right now we are feeling worried," said Hassan Alia, a Foot Locker security guard standing outside the shuttered store who was also working on Thursday night.
Members of the public intervened at an early stage of the attack, including a Brazilian Deliveroo driver who told the Journal website that he knocked the assailant to the ground by striking him with his helmet.
