Is it any wonder the right is finished in Ireland. If you're making racial slurs outside a courthouse, yes, you're a racist. Just because your brain can't comprehend it, doesn't mean you're right. It means your brain is wired differently to normal people. Normal sane people don't try to justify racism. Yes, racist scumbags travelled to vent their bile outside the courthouse.

Nothing to do with outrage at the death of an innocent man. Sure they would have been complaining about him and his Brit girlfriend taking jobs off Irish people anyway. It’s just an opportunity to bellow and roar racist slurs and not get pulled over it.

WWN has reproduced some of his vital first hand accounts of Dundalk, Egypt, international terrorism, socioeconomic and religious factors in murders no one has the full facts on, all despite having last left Waterford in 2012. “Now are you happy. I TOLD YOU THIS WOULD HAPPEN” “How many times did I warn you all this would happen?!?!” “I guess Dundalk is a no go area now. Don’t need to know the facts to know what’s going on, wake up.” “Some people awful quiet about this. Sharia law here we come” “Egyptian? Well, I think we know all we need to know now! Wonder is he best mates with yer man” Nealan, bravely foregoing any need to use empathy or cognitive reasoning went on to further explain in repetitive and similar sentences that the incident was something he had told people would happen. Gardaave confirmed that any individual such as Nealan who can claim to have known this incident was going to happen and didn’t report it to the police could face charges.

By all means, feel free to accuse people of attempted mind-reading, but perhaps with a lighter touch of selectivism.

Beyond Muslims, you yourself said yesterday : "Unfortunately that’s the attitude of the left. It doesn’t matter that a man died." Is that my attitude ? Finally, I would remind you that a generalising derogatory comment was made further back in the thread : "Haven't you a goat you should be raping right about now?" You thanked it.
