Dublin stabbings / violence

[Marklr]

It's been reported, not confirmed, that it was a Brazilian who took on and disarmed the attacker earlier in the afternoon.

So, a foreigner stopped it?

You say that 5 got stabbed in a bit of a cunty way if you don’t mind me saying. In fact I don’t care, that’s such a shit take I’m going to ignore you pal.

I think you’ve misinterpreted the meaning of his post tbf.

No one knows the context of what happened, it more likely to be a custody or martial dispute than a terrorist attack considering the guy lived in Ireland for 20 years, it was a terrible crime but I don’t understand the rioting in response, would they have rioted if the guy was born and bred Irish?

It wouldn’t have mattered. It’s how it was perceived and reported on Twitter and WhatsApp etc.

Truth needing to matter died quite a while ago.

No, no and no again. They have been waiting for this mate. Today, rightly or wrongly and it’ll always be wrongly the council estate uneducated will rebel.

The truth is Dublin is rough as fuck outside the tourist spots. Hard people living hard lives mainly. There’s been a ticking time bomb that’s been getting close to zero for a long time and now in true countdown fashion we are at the dededededededede..ohhhh

I'm in one of those so called rough spots now. I can't speak for everyone but the majority here seem to utterly condemn what is happening outside. Others worried about their kids as its obviously frightening to some of them, and how to get to work tomorrow, or if even they even can.

Maybe.

It's been brewing in Dublin for a while, lots of minor incidents and now this has set it right off by all accounts.

Unfortunately the loud angry people of the world get noticed more than the law abiding.

Very sad scenes - hope it calms down quickly.
