@Axolotltwit Stay away from other peoples kids.

[Winston @detroitsux]

@_Sosthene_ That’s pretty close I’d say.

My kids are really good kids and I don’t worry about discipline too much. I think parenting has a limited effect on outcomes outside of neglect and abuse.

The things I do think about are limiting screen time, sleep, diet, who their friends are, etc.

⁠I did a huge study to see if spanking harms kids. You'll never guess what I found.

🚨#BREAKING: Footage has emerged of the arrest of the man who randomly st*bbed a woman to de*th on a train in Atlanta GA.

He is a Black male.

The knife used is laying on the ground and appears to be a small pocket knife.

@Johnhalbach The left is nothing but rancid and evil people.

@MostlyPeaceful @seanmdav Good grief. This is horrible. Such a beautiful family.

[Winston @detroitsux]

So it wasn’t slavery or “systemic oppression” that made them this way. Can we drop that bullshit line now? It’s everywhere they live.

Family Man Beat To Death By Migrant Teenagers In Dublin.

On Sunday 17 May 2026, at around 4:15pm on Mill Road in Blanchardstown, 37-year-old Alex Coughlan was attacked by two 16-year-old boys without warning.

The defenceless Irishman was forced to his knees, pleading for mercy as one teenager repeatedly punched and kicked him in the head. The second boy filmed the assault on his mobile phone. Alex screamed for help and begged them to stop. He had already handed over his wallet and bank cards, but hesitated when they demanded his gold ring, a gift from his father.

That moment of hesitation cost him his life.

The beating continued. Alex was left unconscious on the ground. He died three days later on 20 May in Connolly Hospital from catastrophic head injuries. His family made the selfless decision to donate his organs.

Two 16-year-old boys were arrested and charged with assault causing serious harm and robbery. The main attacker is a second-generation migrant born and raised in Ireland. The other, who filmed the attack, is a migrant with dual nationality. Both were described by locals as having non-native features.

Gardai later recovered the stolen ring from one of the boys homes, and Alex’s father identified it in court.

The teenagers appeared in Dublin Children’s Court on 27 May. A judge imposed strict reporting restrictions, warning against naming them or sharing the video of the attack circulating online due to their age. Bail was refused, and both teenagers remain remanded in custody.

On Saturday 30 May, what would have been Alex’s 38th birthday, hundreds gathered in Ballyfermot to farewell him. He was remembered as the glue of his family, a kind, gentle, and selfless man who brought laughter and joy to everyone around him.

A dedicated Bupa worker and passionate rugby fan, Alex is survived by his mother Brigid, father John, sister Zara, and brothers Philip and Jack. Mourners sang Happy Birthday and Ireland’s Call. Tributes described him as a truly beautiful soul and caring human being. A private cremation followed at Glasnevin Cemetery.

While Alex’s funeral took place, the Irish mainstream media gave far more coverage and focused far more outrage on the death of Congolese national Yves Sakila, 35. Sakila, who had dozens of previous convictions and multiple prison terms for repeated shoplifting, died on 15 May after being restrained by security staff during another shoplifting attempt. His death was quickly framed by activists as Ireland’s George Floyd moment, sparking protests, political speeches, and claims of racism.

Alex’s killing, a local Irish family man robbed and beaten to death in broad daylight while pleading for mercy received far less attention. Coverage focused on the attackers age and anonymity, with zero discussion of backgrounds or nationalities.

There were no mass candlelit vigils when Alex died, no major protests demanding justice, no political statements, and no national campaigns declaring that his life mattered.

No Netflix documentaries will ever examine Alex's final moments.

Certain tragedies fit a preferred political narrative and ignite weeks of outrage. Others, like the brutal murder of a gentle Irish family man, are treated as less newsworthy. This selective response from the Irish media and political class is an insult to Alex and every family who has lost someone in similar circumstances.

Alex Coughlan’s life mattered. He deserved better, and the people of Ireland deserve the truth.

RIP Alex Coughlan.

Both teenagers are next due in court on 24 June.

@Floridagirl0850 Really? I need to do this immediately.

[Winston @detroitsux]

@NathanJRobinson Why does it always kill so many people then?

[Winston @detroitsux]

@LilithBlack25 Why do black children have the highest rates of STDs then? And I guess I could easily say, based on the stats, black men don’t even like their own women.

[Winston @detroitsux]

@cantetuchluntan @nikephoroso You’re the most propagandized people in the world. I swear to god. Bask in your ignorance, I guess. Fade into irrelevance.

[Winston @detroitsux]

@GeneralBooty069 You’re a manhole

[Winston @detroitsux]

I didn’t realize that suburban moms were over accessorizing their kindergarten sons for baseball. This is very black prom coded. Broke and corny.

[Baseball Central™ @BaseballCentraI]

We use to share the same bat and had like 5 community batting helmets 😂

[Winston @detroitsux]

@GeneralBooty069 Also, I’m actually a woman.

[Winston @detroitsux]

@GeneralBooty069 Nasty

[Winston @detroitsux]

@GeneralBooty069 I’m 100% white meat and 30% hotter than you.

[Winston @detroitsux]

@GeneralBooty069 So?

[Winston @detroitsux]

@GeneralBooty069 You’re corny and goofy

[Winston @detroitsux]

@GeneralBooty069 No it isn’t.
