I'm confused - the article does not mention anything about the attacker being an immigrant or from any certain origin/group. What's the riot for then?

The attacker was an Algerian immigrant with an Irish passport.

The guy that stopped the attack was a Brazilian immigrant, a good man.

The absolute chancers that started the riots were far-right mentally challenged Knackers that showed up in black masks.

My bad, typo.

Ow wow, I didn't read Algerian in that at all... Whilst it's almost the same spelling.

You just need to avoid Alderaan places.

Every article and, dare I say, even Lemmy post has been dancing around it. I guess in order not to add fuel to the fire? Or to avoid being the first to throw the proverbial stone. Or preventing a major stinker by not waiting for official confirmation.

I think it's pretty stupid as a) it creates the strange disconnect you mention, that will just be filled in later today or tomorrow anyway and b) it just completely confirms bigots' point that there are certain societal issues that are forbidden to talk about

This is the best summary I could come up with:

Buses and trams have been torched and a shop looted during riots in Dublin city centre after a stabbing attack outside a school left three children injured.

A police cordon was set up around the Irish parliament building, Leinster House, and officers from the Garda Mounted Support Unit were in nearby Grafton Street.

The Irish justice minister, Helen McEntee, labelled the scenes “intolerable” and said a “thuggish and manipulative element must not be allowed to use an appalling tragedy to wreak havoc”.

On Thursday night a helicopter hovered overhead as police in riot gear used shields and batons to clear a crowd down O’Connell Street, Dublin’s main thoroughfare.

Gaelscoil Choláiste Mhuire is an Irish-medium primary school with 172 pupils based in a four-storey Georgian building on Parnell Square, a busy thoroughfare in Dublin’s north inner city.

He added: “This appalling incident is a matter for the Gardai and that it would be used or abused by groups with an agenda that attacks the principle of social inclusion is reprehensible and deserves condemnation by all those who believe in the rule of law and democracy.”

The original article contains 859 words, the summary contains 184 words. Saved 79%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
