GARDAI are investigating a string of stabbing attacks this morning that has left one man dead and two others injured. The incidents took place in Dundalk, Co Louth. One man has died after he was attacked and stabbed on Avenue Road. He is understood to be of Asian descent. His age is as yet unknown. The man was pronounced dead at the scene. It is understood that two other men - both understood to be Irish - were subsequently injured in separate attacks. Gardaí who were called to the scene confronted and disarmed the attacker. He has been arrested on suspicion of murder and is being detained at Dundalk Garda Station. He can be questioned for up to 24 hours. It is understood that the attacker is originally from Syria.

Jasus there would be some BS on a thread here if that happened and he was denied his rights. Probably by the same posters too.

Then there are the daily attacks by veterans on random members of the public or members of their families resulting in severe injury (permanent or otherwise) and/or death. Most of these episodes go unreported on a national level because there are just so many of them that it would take a 24 hour news channel to constantly loop through them as new ones emerge. I suppose I'm trying to draw a comparison in that PTSD most likely affects veterans in a similar way to civilians coming from war zones. Most of the children in refugee camps are withdrawn, nervous, clinically depressed, prone to bedwetting and nightmares etc. So it doesn't really beggar belief that a huge percentage of people coming from these places, seeing and experiencing what they have, have mental scars.

You take a look at the Irish in New York and Boston. How many of these troglodytes spend their lives in the Irish pub or Irish club, spuds and cabbage for dinner, vacation is a boozefest in the Catskills. It's only by pure demographic happenstance that they have any interaction with the natives because their birth tongue is English so they have some interface. If their mother tongue was Irish these knuckledraggers would be as isolated as any other ethnic group.

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.

Went on to injure another with a knife and then to beat another....all in 3 different parts of a town. Just your regular Joe Soap having a bad day??? No news in it. Christ the closure of 2 shopping centers at different times in Germany for fear of attacks last year made world news...

In any country with a free press, journalists are journalists and they will break stories in print, on the radio, online, and all over social media. It's not like the entire Irish media meets up on a Monday morning and decides what to suppress that week! If you've ever seen news media from the inside out, it's mostly seat-of-pants type high speed production of stories and try to avoid libelling people while you're doing it. We don't live under some kind of authoritarian regime, quite the opposite actually and we also don't have over polite journalists who will all fall into line either.

Obviously it was covered in Japanese media outlets in much the same way as you'd expect if an Irish citizen had been killed in a similarly weird and unexpected incident in a small town in a country you wouldn't expect that to happen in.

Is that because of those that come or because of the welcome they receive? I'm not suggesting the native culture should change to accommodate the arriving one but telling them continually how little you trust them and making it difficult for them to assimilate is a big part of that problem.

He's literally told them why he done it, but they still don't know why he did it.

Skedaddle wrote: » Well, it's as much interest to those people as a similar incident might be in some small French town to Irish people. It's hard to generalise about how interested people might be. Things become less relevant the further away they are physically and culturally to your own backdoor. However, in general Western European countries tend to see things in neighbouring countries as close enough to home-news, even if it is in some obscure town that not many people have heard of. And in the US you've got a large number of people who will consider Ireland familiar enough even if they know nothing about it and tend to confuse Ireland and Scotland. So, again it'll find an audience. Also once any story is reported in the major newswires, it will just syndicate and pop up all over the place, even if it's not very relevant to the local audience.
