You've been looking in the wrong direction, the dangers are coming from the right.

Nothing in that article links those morons to any far right groups.

Horrific story no doubt but it hardly needs a sprinkling of hyperbole like what you added.

Disturbing attack and reporting. The Irish Times journalist was there interacting with the attackers but didn’t get a photo of the attack.

The victim’s nationality is described Polish, Hungarian, Scottish. But the attackers are described racially as “white Irish”!

You are reduced now to accusing people of being Jew lovers, pathetic.

You should visit places like Treblinka etc and ask yourself some hard questions about your outlook on life.

Hilarious? Really?

We have a tiny far right in Ireland but we do have lots of scumbags who are roaming the streets because of our laughably lax legal system.

Now, employing logic which group of people are A large enough and B more likely to engage in such behaviour?

You're not employing logic, you're seeing a negative and assigning blame based on your own bias.

Was Justin Barrett instructing these idiots from his fascist stronghold in Cork?

The "White Irish" thing is pathetic as well. It's framing the Irish people (most of whom in no way shape or form condone or support this type of thing) as some sort of a problem to be dealt with.

All this from a white Irish journalist who has appeared to have a particular axe to grind over the years to begin with.

You can join Kitty Holland in a spot of self flagellation to expunge yourselves of your white Irish privilege if you like. Back in the real world the rest of Irish society can see this situation for what it is, a bunch of scumbags (a good number of whom I'd wager have been involved in criminality in the past) did something reprehensible that we don't want to see happen again but there is literally nothing to be gained from adding more fuel to this fire in the form of speculative nonsense about involvement from the far right.

Quite the effort there to downplay the far right.

Anyone reading the thread should always remember - the people you see downplaying the far right are usually far right supporters and actors themselves.

Downplay?

I guess you have to prove that the morons who assaulted those poor men were part of a far right group now.

All this "part of a far right group" is absolute drivel. People dont have to be "part of a far right group" to undertake far right violence.

Yes they do.

Otherwise it's just thuggery which this would appear to be the most likely scenario.

You're expecting people to accept your opinion as fact which is preposterous.

Its not my opinion though. The Irish Times journalist was there. The Irish Times journalist has gone through all the social media posts.

You dont have to be a card carrying National Party Member to undertake far right violent actions.

Beating people up because they are not white or not Irish is far right.

Bad faith tactic to downplay the far right violence on the basis of your criteria that violence can only be far fight if it is carried out by card carrying members of a far right party.

Sinn Fein voters I'd say.

Plenty of evidence from various sources, you are either wilfully blind or feigning ignorance.

These players have been involved in far right activities for years. Weirdly involved with English ethno nationalists who would normally be anti Irish.

Loathe as I'm to say it but do some research.
