Question is how did he know to go to that house if he was only in Dundalk from the 01.01.2018 as the Gardai would like us to believe. As for a diversion attack....I would think he was trying to spread Garda and emergency services resources. May have been his plan to keep attacking until they got to him and he was sure he would get to the town center.

At least you are still allowed to post in this thread and not thread banned as two members on my side of the house posts were carded and thread banned and they didn’t call anyone the C word,

Grayson wrote: » Even though I'm always in these threads (and threads about abortion) I hate them (both). In these sort of threads I always say wait and see. Because I want more evidence I get called an apologist for terrorists. I'm not. Terrorism is horrible. The whole point of it is to kill innocent people. Anyone who does that is scum. I'll also freely state that Saudi and places like it are hellholes. However, If I point out that the vast majority of Muslims are law abiding people I get called names too. Point out that the vast majority of Muslims, especially in the west, are appalled by jihadists and I get abused too. Yet I keep coming back. And it's because these things need to be said. It's not crazy to say that terrorists are horrible, but people who haven't done anything wrong should not share the terrorists blame. This isn't a fringe idea.

I’m not talking about the ‘deport them all’ ‘religion of peace’ brigade. You had people in the Manchester attack thread saying silly things like it was a blown speaker, pyrotechnics and even a friggin balloon popping without being told not to speculate. Speculate all you like except if you think it’s terrorism.

Suppose somebody migrates from a society where life is cheap, maybe he has seen or even participated in multiple killings, 99% of people believe in the one true religion, and the assumption is that you go straight to paradise if you die a martyr. And suppose he believes that dying while killing infidels counts as the act of a martyr. Then this same guy ends up in a society with a totally different system of values and beliefs. If he acts on his original beliefs, is that terrorism?

My fear is that they secretly condone some of the actions of terrorists even if they wouldn't carry out such actions themselves - surveys in the past have indicated as much. If that's the case it isn't such a huge leap to imagine a minority of future generations of Muslims taking the extremist path.
Grayson wrote: » I'm not psychic but neither are you. I don't "know" what the vast majority of Irish people think either. I can tell you that surveys have shown that ISIS has feck all support amongst muslims. But what you're suggesting in your post sounds like discriminating against people right now because there's some potential danger in future generations. You can't even say that there's danger, never mind quantify it.

Even in Ireland over the last few years have had some sickening violent sexual attacks, even worse on vulnerable individuals, carried out by so called asylum seekers. Are these the headlines we want ? And if you do a search across Europe there is a sickening litany of violent gang rapes and assaults carried out by asylum seekers. And before the usual excusitory muppets fire up, yes we all know that there are homegrown depraved individuals in our country already.But why the fook are some in such a hurry to add to them ?

Get Real wrote: » I agree with you. I deplore the actions of this man and my heart goes out to his family. What I was saying was they didn't do anything else because THEY COULDN'T DO ANYTHING ELSE. I was saying there are no internal borders in the UK. He was free to travel to the north. Tens of thousands of people travel daily across the border. They located him within hours. They had no power to arrest him simply because he was a foreigner. Again, I agree with you. But my question was, what's your solution? Arrest all people of certain nationalities on sight? I am upset it happened too. But feel you're not offering what you think should be done then to combat this. Close the border with the North regardless of brexit? Lobby the UK to police their own internal borders? It was you that blamed "paddy". I'm asking what your solution is to have prevented him from getting to the North, and walking over the border? An issue that's been discussed for over 70 years since the common travel area.
weldoninhio wrote: » Hmmmmmmmmm, might want to ask the Brazilian woman that I linked earlier. Arrived with a tourist visa, suspected of coming to work, arrested, detained, then sent home. My solution. Arrest anyone without the correct documentation and hold them until such a time as it can be ascertained why they are here, where they have come from and if they have any right to be here.

We have enough problems and issues without adding young men with gripes who believe hacking strangers to death in unprovoked attacks is a way to go.

Get Real wrote: » In relation to the Brazilian. Yeah she was arrested for coming in a tourist visa and working here. There was a power of arrest there. And she was sent home. And I respect your solution. I'm just curious of the actual realism attached to it. In law I mean. Define "correct documentation". Say a driver is stopped and produces a valid Brazilian driving licence. He claims he's a tourist. He's arrested because he's Brazilian and sure, he could be working here. Goes to court and it's found he is actually a tourist. How would that lawsuit against the state go?
