AIBU to question the media response to the Belfast attack?

[Squirrel001]

Why are the media being silent on the Belfast attack?

Is the open borders narrative that important to them that they feel the need to ignore one of the most horrific attacks ever seen on a UK street?

I despair for the future of the UK. It’s grim.

This is what the op wants? A family cowerinh in a bedroom in fear? A woman risking her own life to walk them past 'men' as a human shield

My sister has'd to escort a black colleague to hospital last where she gave birth to a premature baby who still may not survive. She's from Sudan

Does the OP condone the stress and fear she's been caused and her potential loss?

Here are "concerned patriots" expressing their "legitimate concerns" out and about in Belfast.

And here is Tommy Robinson, who lambasts whole civilizations as "backward and evil" because of crimes committed by a few individuals extolling the virtues of "Russian civilisation".

For those who don't know this "guardian of Christian values" is currently conducting a brutal war against its neighbour including trying to freeze its citizens to death, multiple well-evidenced instances of beheading of prisoners of war, torture and rape of civilians, kidnapping children....and that's in addition to "normal"nightime bombing of civilian areas.

Meanwhile state propagandists frequently call for nuclear bombs to be dropped on European cities, including the supposed Russian city of Odessa.

This is the civilisation that Elon Musk, Tommy and all its acolytes actually admire.

A peaceful protest would be nice.
We’ve had two similar riots down here, it was pointless, takes the eye off the problem and on to the riots so absolutely nothing gained.
You get 1000’s online shouting far right, far left, more division.
Im going to have a social media break soon. It’s exhausting.

The Danish fire was started by supporters of a far-right group.

In Holland, asylum seeker accommodation was not only set on fire, but a large group blocked the road to try and stop the firefighters from getting there to deal with it. They literally wanted to burn people alive.

The far-right are gaining power across quite a chunk of Europe and I suspect will be in control of at least a couple more countries (France and Netherlands) to fall to the far right after their next elections.

It's fucking terrifying and it makes me glad I'm old. Hopefully I'll be long gone before much more of Europe falls to fascists.

Wow. I didn’t read into the fire, that’s horrific.
That’s barbarism, not expected from a European country.
I do understand that people are fearful too. They see news stories like Goma prison outbreak in the Congo where a 100 women were raped before being burnt alive.
1000’s of people slaughtered in Sudan and the Congo, people with deep
trauma, much deeper than Northern Ireland arriving here with no support network or mental health support.
No one wants these people in their life, whether they’re from Denmark or the Congo.

Why are already violent communities being put under even more pressure by inflicting them with more triggers? The political machine is causing this violence. People are blaming the wrong people.

Europe has already fallen to fascists, which is exactly why these barbaric acts keep happening. Fascists on the left who try to bully and shame people into silence if they aren't soft on immigration. You have to read some of the threads: AIBU to unfriend my right wing friend/therapist's husband etc. Should Nigel Farage be locked up? Another one - all wanting to cancel the right. While calling every man and his dog racists. Antifa, the biggest bunch of scum who cover their faces to commit violence. Anti fascists!! They ARE the fascists and where do they sit on the political spectrum? Hmm. None of this is going to stop until the rotten core is taken out.

The cause of violence is violent thugs. This may include some politicians.

Polanski and starmer then. Starmer is stoking division.

Barbarism not expected of a European country?

Are you aware of naxi Germany?

The team mother and baby home in our own country?

Kneecapoings, while we're at it?

Tarring and feathering?

We're no more immune to far right extremists than anywhere else sadly

Can you please explain to me what you understand by the term fascist and how you are using it here?

Or far left extremists. They always seem to conveniently be forgotten.

Today. I mean in this current time. Huge lessons were learned following WW2.
As a society we have evolved.
I don’t think the countries that I mentioned were better 50 years ago than they are today, well probably Iran but other than that.

Can you outline which far left acts of barbarism you're referring to?

It was clear when you meant.

Maybe I'm old (43) but these things are not the distant past

Maybe you can when you've returned from reading about Antifa's antics.

If you don't know what fascism is you can just say, or consult a dictionary

Thanks to the civilised peace agreement between the parties. If only other countries could concentrate on peace. The vote for peace was overwhelming. Thankfully it has lasted, not 💯 but a hell of a lot better.
The trauma will continue for another two generations, hence why dropping other cultures in here was a terrible mistake.

If you want to stay stuck in the past, get on with it. I think a dictionary should tell you what delusion means.

Attacking because you're accusing people of a term you don't understand?

How am I attacking?

It wasn’t Starmer who advocated “pure cold rage”.

Watching NI being used like what, you mean as a passage for illegal immigrants?
