    Every media source??? Funny...hasnt been in the Dutch, German, French or Spanish news as far as I can see.

    Maybe in Irish and British news, but like many situations the news is isolated as the world is a little bigger and the problems within the EU with these people much bigger. Such events are happening daily on mainland Europe...and are normally restricted to local press.

    Oh, you're shifting the goalposts now and talking about a conspiracy because it wasn't in the Gibraltar Gazette?

    Mental Illness expressed through knifes (in the back), and sending fencing posts airborne, must be all down to the bad weather.

    I know right. As I said earlier some on here are only wetting themselves with excitement. Finally. After years of being forced to live off events in those dark multicultural elsewheres, while patiently longing for an event of their own to frame as 'Islamic Terrorism', tonight they are only delighted about it. It gives them great opportunity to spread far right racist myths and memes. They're having boners all over. "Finally; been saying it for years; jihad in Ireland"

    Could you take your disgusting sexual/masturbatory penis references and fantasies elsewhere please?

    That would have done the lad yesterday no harm at all. he'd have plenty more targets because of his mental illness.

    No, like Cloverhill.

    It's still a horrible incident and RIP and my sincere condolences to Yosuke Sasaki, his family, friends and colleagues.

    I'm loving the fact that those who love to use phrases such as snowflakes and like to use grand stereotypes are getting so upset about that particular post by Joeytheparrot. Brilliantly ironic when those on 4chan pretty much posted in delight when it happened.

    I'd say all the racist scum here must be sooo disapointed that no terrorist link has been found.

    Not only that, he was not syrian, did not enter under a refugee programme and was just some mental nutter who hapened to be from Egypt - One of Donal Trump's favoured nations.

    Thankfully English people didnlt think the sale way when the IRA/Sinn Fein blew people apart in the eighties.

    Ironic? You are using a grand stereotype to post about people using phrases like snowflake when yours is the only usage of the term in the thread.

    Like that chap quoted above you have invented a bogeyman in your head. People who dont fancy Islam are just normal people.

    It's the top story on rte right now.

    https://www.rte.ie/news/ireland/2018/0104/931001-dundalk/

    Terror link ruled out in Dundalk attack investigation

    Perhaps they're treating it like any other fatal stabbing. We've certainly had enough of them lately.
    How can RTE say terrorism is ruled out when the Gardi are still making inquires at international levels?
    I don't think this is going to turn out to be terrorism, but I think they're jumping the shark a bit.

    Just looking for equal treatment on the other side of the arguement which there clearly isn’t! I know it must be embarrassing for you and your buddies but hey has to be highlighted when the same standards aren’t applied to both sides!

    Well, given he's from another country and had apparently just arrived, it would be surprising if they were making all their enquires at local level.

    Nobody was calling it a "terrorist" attack - it is still an attack carried out by a North African male who had absolutely no business being in Ireland in the first place.

    Article says
    Gardaí say they have found no established link to indicate the attacks in Dundalk yesterday, in which a Japanese national was stabbed to death and two other people were wounded, were terror-related.

    It doesnt say they have found evidence ruling out a terrorist link, just that they have no evidence to confirm it. This isnt really a surprise.

    Nobody in the thread suggested this guy was on the board of directors of ISIS.

    No I am stating a fact....it wasnt mass reported further than UK and Ireland which you claimed. German/Belgium media would never print/report about such events because it would only bring up old memories and open wounds.

    Added to that I questioned the times and his supposed movements yesterday, having grown up in the area of the event and indeed having lived meters from where the murder took place, I am still of the belief that we only know a small part of the big picture....

    Locals yesterday claimed that a squat was raided not too far from where the murder happened and items were removed....no mention of that.

    National papers are not reporting that the young man entered a stationary shop shortly before he attacked the lad with the pole.......Local papers have it today.....

    Impossible to rule terrorism out, I'd have thought. Since there were no witnesses, maybe nobody heard him shout about snackbars. More like they didn't find an Islamic State flag on the scene.

    Did you see the 4chan post from yesterday, it's basically what the poster posted. Yet you're all trying to get offended and deflect because of the use of the phrase hard on and other inoffensive terms. It's hilarious reading it.

    I don't have any friends in this thread either, unless you've doxxed us and know something we don't.

    Just a shot in the dark, but maybe they believe there is no link to terrorism because they interviewed him and had him assessed. Terrorists generally acknowledge the reason for their acts

    Gardai were only interviewing the staff in that stationery shop this morning.
    Is it confirmed he went to Dublin? If so why come back to Dundalk to stay in a squat? I find it very hard to believe he just happened to hang around Dundalk and didn't have any kind of support.

    The offense comes from the poster suggesting that people with concern about the violence caused by Islamic terrorism in Europe are actively enjoying the fact that this young Japanese chap was murdered.

    Why do you need this explained to you?

    A few years ago an Irish journalist on the Moncrieff show spoke of her belief in the media's ''responsibility to contain inflammatory facts'', in a discussion about terror attacks, so it won't surprise me if there is a deliberate withholding of information.

    I never claimed anything of the sort.

    A guy attacked and murdered someone. You expect it to be reported Europe wide because the person involved was Egyptian? The rest of your post is off the wall stuff.

    Yep. And IS attackers are never shy of telling anyone, including the police, what their motives are.

    Where have you been for the last 60 odd pages? Some people have said "We don't know" and a load of right wingers have been jumping on them.

    I'm glad they survived, are they conscious and lucid? If so and have already been interviewed and there was nothing that they remembered him saying along those lines, that is good in a way, but does not in itself rule it out. The report said the gardai haven't found a link, but apparently they're still investigating at an international level. So to say something has been ruled out seems premature.

    I haven't read the thread just skimmed it and can do without the revolting masturbation jokes so I may have missed details of the victims.

    There are plenty of witnesses.

    The two guys who survived for a start, probably may have been seen by passers by. He may have encountered people before the incident and people may know who he or at least have some impression of him.

    I would assume they'll be trying to fill in the blanks at the moment with information from the UK, if that's where he was previously.
