To everyone gathering across Belfast; go home.
You are being manipulated by paramilitaries and far-right politicians.
Do not ruin your life by getting a criminal conviction.
There are better ways to stand up for ‘community safety.’
The horrific knife attack isn't new nor "alien” to NI. The Shankill Butchers were Belfast born & bred. They cut throats from ear to ear. Let’s not engage in historical amnesia just because previous barbarity was never videoed nor went viral.

@JamieBrysonLLB Ireland is an island, and requires an island approach!
Immigration should be governed by Dublin!
British apparatus is not going back to a fading and irrelevant border.
Nationalists/Republican parties can not afford to label its electorate as Racist for supporting a robust and fair all island immigration policy.
The next election will be centred around immigration.
If SF/SDLP continue acquiesce surrounding immigration they are doomed.
@squinteratn Squinter, if this is SF narrative they are about to lose a major chunk of its electorate in the North.
Just say what everyone sees.
A major immigration problem that is impacting people's health and safety.
Having a robust immigration policy is not racist or right wing!
Aontú is calling on the gov to opt out of EU Migration Pact.
Our petition is approaching 7,000 signatures.
We have submitted a Bill to the Bills Office in the Dáil today demanding that Ireland is removed from the EU Migration Pact.

Maitie Mag Toghearnan has revealed himself as the man who confronted the migrant in Belfast last night.
Faced with unimaginable violence, he chose courage over fear and grabbed a hurley stick to defend his fellow Irish man
Respect 👏
UPDATE: Police now say that the man in custody is Sudanese and not Somalian, as initially believed, and the injured man remains in a serious condition in hospital.

@columeastwood Colum, respectfully, to stop this place from burning to the ground and CNR involvement in that destruction we need more than that.
We need leadership that acknowledges there is a problem!
Time to speak is now, before the darkness!
Belfast Attack.
Police Statement:
A man in his 30s, believed to be Somalian, has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder following the serious assault.
The victim is male in his 40s, Not a child!
@OneWordGram@TRobinsonNewEra In Ireland women are not expected to intervene when a male is armed with a knife.
Some woman would have kicked the shit out of him, tbh.
