I can only imagine how the people living in these homes in Ballymena are feeling about what lies ahead tonight.
The language being used is frightening me and I'm a white guy in Hannahstown.
Does anybody know, does anybody care, about the extent of the fear people are living in in Ballymena? Do we now forget the black and brown people - and locals - living under this terror because the flames are out? The extent of this is jawdropping.
Grim, depressing, shameful.
The PSNI now say the man held is Sudanese, not Somalian.
We should expect detached professionalism.
Instead, we got a botched statement on ethnicity rushed out to placate the angriest voices.
The PSNI's credibility is in question hours into a looming crisis.
Appalling stuff.
Rough estimate of people handing out threatening and violent abuse re the North Belfast incident while hiding their identity:
90 per cent.
Possibly 95.
A shower of cowardly, racist dickheads.
Yes, I am looking at you.
For all of those who seem convinced that crazed knife attacks were invented in North Belfast last night, this happened to a Kurdish barber in England last summer.
What's the kindest way to put it....?
Oh, yeah – shut the fuck up, you hypocritical twats.
Domestic violence rates in Northern Ireland are VERY high, one in five of all recorded crimes.
A streamer from NI was recently jailed for brutally murdering his pregnant girlfriend. He left her face down in a dog bowl.
No riots
Remember this as the far right mobs assemble.
