    You are attempting to minimise a man's murder for your own twisted motives.

    Maximising it is not OK either though, right? Your sincerity for the victim is touching.

    He also stabbed two other people? Is this confirmed, or are you making it up?

    Attacked anyway. May have gotten the wires crossed. An iron bar was used by all accounts.

    It will keep getting worse if we keep letting them in. Im sorry but thats the simple reality of it.

    Theres plenty of places in the world we can import people from if you want diversity or whatever. Followers of awful religions from barbaric countries should be last on the list.

    What other part of the world should the West make shíte of for decades before adopting the policy of "we'll take more of your raw materials, but not your refugees". We've done Africa and the middle east already.

    Nah. The ones wetting themselves with excitement about Muslim terrorism could not care less about the victim.

    Wetting themselves with excitement, spoken like a true moderator!

    And your concern for the perpetrator is likewise touching.

    Not sure what your response is even trying to get at here? It's well known that losing someone around times like your birthday, Christmas, etc can be more painful and lasting. And as I said, it's sad to happen any time of year.

    Honestly, what was your point here? You've got me utterly stumped.

    Do you want to live in the type of society that ignores the plight of 1000 people because of the risk that one poses?

    Well I guess you wouldn't mind seeing your fellow citizens slaughtered then. Just collateral damage to you I suppose?

    Who is "we"? I cant recall any colonies Ireland had.

    Even if it’s 0.01 % that pose a threat, a small minority can rage hell.
    Number of terror attacks in Poland, Hungary, Czech Rep and Japan amounts to a total of zero. They see their priority as protecting their own people.

    Nah. The attempts to use the mans murder for twisted motives are coming from the ones using the hyperbole. Butchered, Rampage, Terrorist.

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    What about the "I'd attack anyone who looked middle eastern who got too close to me" post?

    You’d have to feel sorry for that poster. What kind of a life have they now when they’re terrified of every brown person they see.

    Islamaphobic then

    Better?

    Well yes actually. If it stops people getting labeled racist simply for having a problem with the teachings of Islam. Hardly the same thing as hating brown people.

    It wasn't me who brought the word "butchered" into the conversation. Read the thread.

    Hence the inverted commas.

    The problem is not what words were used by who. The problem is you're making jokes about an incident were one man was murdered and 2 others wounded. So as mentioned by someone else, have some respect!

    "We" as in white. It's ok to generalise us, but don't you dare to it to any other race!

    Well it's been describes now as a "random and unprovoked attack".

    https://www.rte.ie/


    I am really hoping it's not a terrorist attack. It would create a sense of fear throughout the country which we don't need.

    I have nothing but contemptuous disgust for that scumbag. He's not posting bile on here though.

    So who exactly am I disrespecting by using that word? Go on...

    Poland had a knife attack that killed 7 in October last year.

    Does the fact that it wasn't immigration related make it better?

    Or that it wasn't a terror attack?

    Actually yes the words used are a problem. They illustrate the murder being twisted for a sick narrative.

    I assume you're posting from Ireland, love? So when you say "we've" that would include Ireland, honey?

    Oh of course "its the Wests fault really" - another one for lefty jingo-bingo.

    Can you enlighten us as to the history of Japanese-Dundalk colonisation and exploitation of muslim lands?

    Jesus Christ do I have a computer virus that's inserting random words into my posts or is this the annual convention for Really Really Bad Mindreaders?

    In Europe we've had mass shootings, stabbings, mass sexual assault on women. These perpetrators just happen to be of a particular religious persuasion.

    That's racist against brown people, somehow.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 23,495 ✭✭✭✭Billy86


    It is a perfectly reasonable position to oppose situations like this one - an 18 year old Egyptian wandering around Dundalk after being refused leave to stay in the UK for god knows what reason - and support all other types of immigration.

    Yet post after post here just calls everyone with this perfectly reasonable position racist.
    Thanks but I'm not sure if you read my post correctly, so I'll post again and clarify:

    Don't know about this thread, but AH has had well more than it's fair share of people down the years who don't want any immigration into Ireland so as not to upset our "racial purity" I think is usually the preferred term.

    This is in reference to people from the middle east, from Africa, from all over Asia, from South America, and... but only for some of them... from North America, Australia and European countries too.

    I wouldn't take Joey seriously whatsoever, mod or not, since he claimed that loads of settled people dump all their rubbish in Traveller sites and that's why they're in bits.

    Actually yes the words used are a problem. They illustrate the murder being twisted for a sick narrative.

    The word butchered? Yes that is indeed a very tabloid esque word to use and I wouldn't use it but how do you describe accurately someone stabbing someone to death in cold blood on the streets?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10,070 ✭✭✭✭pq0n1ct4ve8zf5

    If the bleeding heart liberal lefties had been listened to 15 years ago the pillar of sense right wing heroes would have a fcuk of a lot less to jizz their pants about in Europe right now. You understand that, everyone does.

    The current wave of terrorists aren't particularly accurate target shooters so to speak.

    And you're bouncing about all over the place here, I respond to something specific in your posts and you just vomit back something like a "sticking it to de liberals" random post generator.

    Yes let's put our heads in the sand and pretend we don't have a problem.
