    They are not mutually exclusive. Hopefully they are concerned about both.

    Since the online version requires barely any effort from our boys in blue, it's safe to say which one they'll be concentrating on.

    That's the first thing I thought when I read it too.

    I don't think its safe to say at all - at least what you probably mean by that.
    Do you not have any concern about the unscrupulous using these issues to stir up racial hatred?

    There's no one on here saying they hate blacks. But they are condemning what a black gang or gangs are doing, and discussing it on this thread. I don't see anyone stirring up hatred for black people.

    Why did China put a ban on importing garbage? Because they have more than enough of their own.

    There is hatred everywhere, from all sides. Best ignored, while one endeavours to think for oneself. For example this morning on Twitter I saw a post by someone from the ''left'' who responded to a woman supporting female spaces against male appropriation, eg sports, toilets, hostels etc, by saying to them that they wished they could take a sh!te down their throat. Rape threats, death threats, doxxing of people, these are all fairly common from the righteous side of the field. Kathy Griffin called for the Covington teens to be doxxed. And they were. Right-on lefty celebs have called for Trump to be assassinated. There are no goodies when it comes to the ideologically possessed of any ilk.

    I don't blame the asylum seekers here at all.

    I blame the same old bunch of Middle Class "Socialists" that have invited asylum seekers into the country only to throw them into ghettos without proper supports and throw a few shiny pennies at them.

    Then these self same "Socialists" give themselves a great big clap on the back for doing something that makes them "feel good".

    Proper integration would require a proper redistribution of asylum seekers into middle class suburbs to live beside the middle classes, go to school with the middle class kids and socialise with them.

    That would actually water the seeds of ambition amongst asylum seekers, let them feel less resentment towards the society that has invited them into their country and foster integration.

    If anything, Asylum Seekers have been sold a pup by Middle Class "Socialists" so that the latter can pontificate to others about how virtuous they are.

    The great asylum seeker/welfare tourist lottery... Which ones get to live in middle class areas? Who decides. Should we be giving out houses on Ailesbury road? Who is going to tell Margaret Cash?

    Discussing the issue is perfectly legit in itself.
    I haven't followed most of the 155 pages so far, but just looking back over the past few pages alone there are several racist comments re black people per se. And the broader point being that there are ideologically motivated extremists using issues such as this to stir up racial hatred generally - though they have no interest in the issue itself, as in resolving it. They are delighted by it.

    The Gardai seem quite aware that issues such as this are being used as a wedge by extremists to stir up racial hatred - and we can't pretend not to know where that leads for some individuals, whether slightly unhinged or not.

    "Gardaí responsible for monitoring several websites and online personalities with a history of spreading racism and inciting hatred among Irish web users have noted a recent increase in activity.

    Many of the websites are based in the US making combating them difficult due to strong freedom of speech protections in that country, said Insp David McInerney of the Garda Racial, Intercultural and Diversity Office (Grido).

    Others frequently change their names and IP addresses, making monitoring much more difficult.

    “There are certain groups out there who like to stir up racial hatred and we have to be watching that all the time,” he said.

    “These are certain individuals who come up time and time again. We know people who are at this all the time. They move on, they change the name of the site and then they start again.

    “They’re inciting hatred, just trying to get people’s back up all the time,” Insp McInerney said, following a spate of online racial abuse directed at the Black-Irish community in response to reports of anti-social behaviour by groups of black youths in west Dublin and Meath.

    The whole article seems like a rant by a particular Garda against the concept of Freedom of Speech. The USA is not a rogue state.

    I think that gang who beat up the young lad from Ashbourne, stole his birthday money and took his phone then put the vid of their bravery online are doing quite alright stirring up racial hatred to be honest.

    There is not the slightest suggestion there of the US being a "rogue state". They do, however, under the First Amendment, have very strong freedom of speech laws. People can post stuff there -including inflammatory hate stuff - more freely. Whether that is good or bad is another issue. Also, as it is another jurisdiction it is even more difficult for authorities here to do anything about it.


    Right wing agitators are using wedge issues around the world to promote division and strife. Just as Islamist agitators are doing with their "issues". And both are quite happy when they radicalise a "lone wolf" - anywhere in the world.



    Maybe this is a price worth paying for absolute "freedom of speech".

    Who doesn't hate crime and thuggery? Why has it morphed into a generalised "black" thing, ie, racial hatred?

    Please point them out.

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.

    It hasn't 'morphed' into anything, The facts are the following..

    Young black youths are causing havoc in multiple areas, this issue is getting worse, as seen in Ashbourne. MSM are not reporting these issues for whatever reason. I live in one of these areas, and can tell you as fact, people are extremely worried where this will lead in years to come.

    People are entitled to discuss these issues on an open, public forum.

    It hasn't. These gangs happen to be black. By in large most posts have been about asylum seekers and have not even mentioned skin color. You're the one bringing it up.

    Maybe it's because they travel in large numbers to intimidate locals, something I have never seen in my lifetime..

    Maybe it's because people feel their parents were given a great opportunity in this Country and this is how it's repaid..

    Maybe people are genuinely worried about where this could lead, Black gangs are synonymous with knife crime in London..

    Or maybe it's because I'm a Londoner, who knows !!

    Remember all of the "celebrities" who said they would move to Canada if Trump won. Lol

    But it's not meant to be up for discussion simply because they are black.

    The usual bollo0x is thrown out there..

    No.
    Only far left nutters bring race in to it.

    These criminal should be arrested and if eligible deported.

    Looks like those who carried out the attack on the African man in Tallaght are eastern Europeans.
