@zerohedge Fact: The attacker was an Irish citizen (Algerian born), living in Ireland for 20 years
Right wing media reported attacker was Algerian immigrant and it then “snowballed”
Maybe stay out of this one @zerohedge
@Conor1960@john_mcguirk Funny how the sources missed out he was living here 20 years and an Irish citizen and it was not an recent “unvetted” immigration
. . I know your response “we never use unvetted . . we just report the news . . We never incite people “
This is Urantsetseg Tserendorj, who was stabbed to death by an Irish man in 2022.
Nobody took to the streets burning and looting…Why?
It’s because the far-right ‘grifters’ and racist scum don’t care about women or children, they just want an excuse to cause hate and division.
@ThatMurphyFella @mmcgrathtd Absolutely! The problem is even after today they still don’t see these groups as a threat. “It’s only a small group”
But if it was a group of Arab man threatening violence and destruction. . the city would’ve been locked down, armed units and helicopters on the streets.
Weird how “the Irish” have never had enough of the Kinahans and all the other drug gangs that rob children of their lives and futures and parents around the country. I just can’t put my finger on what might be the difference 🧐
@daithaigilbert Listening to panel discussions or to Helen McEntee, no one is angry or determined in their response. Everyone sounds defeated and dejected.
This softy soft approach of “we should rise to their level” or “stoke them further” isn’t going to cut it anymore
Irish website Gript is to blame for a lot of what's happening in the #Dublinriots after running a headline claiming the attacker was African—without proof
@ISDglobal found Gript has an outsized presence in far-right/conspiracy channels in research on Ireland's disinfo ecosystem
Deliveroo dirver Caio Benicio was on his motorbike this afternoon when he saw a man with a knife attacking a young girl in Parnell Square.
The 43-year-old Brazilian dismounted his bike, took off his helmet, and hit the attacker with it.

@john_mcguirk@Conor1960 RTE reported it too but funny how this now tweeted after all the riots since you and your media outlet whipped up the hate by just saying he’s “Algerian” and carefully backed that tweet saying it’s still early days to confirm though
@john_mcguirk@higginsdavidw RTÉ reported tonight the suspect is an Irish citizen (not Irish born) but living here for 20 years.
Surprised your sources missed those details. Algerian is all you needed.
@john_mcguirk@higginsdavidw So in other words . . If it’s false so be it.
Interesting how it’s all kicked off in Dublin based on the report that it’s an “Algerian” man even though it’s not yet confirmed.
I’m sure there’s huge disappointment the man wasn’t black or brown.

@DaveKeating The suspect of the horrific stabbings today was an Irish citizen (not Irish born) but has been living here for 20 years.
However, the right wing media said he was “Algerian” and that was all that the far right and local racist scumbags needed to riot
Garda Commissioner Drew Harris has described the protest in Dublin city centre as 'disgraceful', and said a 'hooligan faction driven by far right ideology' had contributed to the unrest https://t.co/0Fs3YgUaNA
