But they are Irish though aren't they? Is this like a reverse scouse thing?

Not necessarily but that's for another thread. I'm from Coleraine in which there has been rioting but in same scale as Ballymena. My friend runs a men's group in Coleraine as he's arranged to hand out whistles free to any females in town centre today. He's getting stick as 'what good will that do etc etc'. Another friend had to collect his younger sister who lives few yards from where the rioters set bins on fire blocking railway line.

So it's not just restricted to Ballymena then? There's an argument going all over social media about how this isn't really about protecting women or fighting against S. abusers as abusers like Colin Gault walked free and there was little or no uproar in Ballymena. Regardless I am all for protecting women and children but like in every situation, there are always a few who have other things in mind when they join a protest like this

No it's in quite a few places. The idiots in Larne burnt their own leisure centre os people had been put in there after fleeing their homes.

A very good friend of mine has been going through court case re her teenage daughter and her ex (not the girls father). Guy been found guilty but people in Coleraine happy to play golf with him, happy to have pint etc. She's been asking where was the uproar for her daughter.

I know of at least 3 hard working families been put out so far. One Polish family had house petrol bombed

So basically it's a "Tommy Morrison" type protest disguised as a protest against S. abusers?
 
Strangely, these hypocrites didn’t seem to think that Jeffey Donaldson and his wife being charged with child sex offences was worthy of a riot, or a purge of hunting the streets for DUP members and burning them out of their houses and businesses

Long been standard practice for this lot. A load of far right numbskulls who are just getting some practice in, before their annual orgy of burning effigies of catholics on giant bonfires next month
 
it’s basically rioting for the sake of rioting now and under the banner of the young girl that was sexually assaulted a few days ago ..edit some won’t give a fuck who gets hurt or injured it’s like a night out to some of them looking forward to bricking and destroying properties..
 
'People do not become racists overnight.

It seems those involved had been waiting for an opportunity to vent their hatred.'

From the BBC article on it. For once, they have nailed it.

Is this from the recent situation? he's talking about resources and the rioters are talking about S.A on a teenage girl. The entire thing is confusing.

Seems reasonable to assume burning down the leisure center/random homes and cars that might belong to immigrants and throwing bricks at the cops isn't really about advocating for the victims of sexual assault.
