What you are engaging in is fear mongering against one group of people. This is the reality. And yes, I very much believe that xenophobia and racism tends to play into the mentality of many of those who engage in fear mongering. Eg people are rejecting the conclusions of the Gardai because it doesn't suit their prejudices..

Yes the lack of welcome is a major factor, the culture clash, basic human tribalism, ghettoisation, economics are all factors. The failure is the bastard child with many fathers and because of that even if you could wave a magic wand and get rid of one or two of these factors the problem would be there.

To follow them into this morass of a failed experiment seems to me beyond idiotic.

Doltanian wrote: Yes because he so deserves kittens and a safe space to chill incase he might have a sexual emergency. The hangmans noose is what he deserves and is more shame on our country that we allow terrorists like him in here to begin with and the pro-scum legal system will ensure he is out after 8 to 10 years. In a proper society he would be hung from the gallows tonight after the judge slammed his hammer. He won't probably even face trial for at least 2-3 years while parasite lawyers will prolong everything and draw millions in legal aid for him.

All scum and terrorists like this should pay the ultimate penalty, I'd be perfectly fine with giving him an injection of Nembutal and I've watched animals be put to sleep to end their suffering and it is a peaceful a death as you could give an animal. This guy is not even an animal as animals are shown to have empathy. The Death Sentence is what he needs and it should be introduced and used often for all murder and a host of other crime.
