‘Dublin riots were nothing to do with our daughter — it was anger and hate’

  1. The ‘Love Ulster’ riots were the same. A certain type of citizen sees an opportunity to legitimize destruction and looting for a society they feel excluded from.

    It’s not about the reason but excuse.

  2. It wasn’t even anger and hate,

    it was Ignorance and Thuggery

  3. That was some hard read. The strength and compassion coming from that mother is palpable. Maybe some of those driven by their own fears and hate who were involved in the rioting or any of the other acts of fascism; night read it and come to terms with their own failings. It would be a comfort to think that some of them could find their way back.

  4. They couldn’t give a feck about the girl, it was just an excuse to go on a rampage

  5. I was in the riots , I didn’t take part but I had a tent outside Debenhams and on the night I heard so much shit from people oh look our own our homeless but the foreigners bla bla , these people then trampled our tents , tried to hide their looted shit in them and 4 of us then got removed from our tents by the Garda for our safety (after they bet me black and blue and there was legitimately a clip of them hitting me with a car and driving off on tiktok ). These people that were rioting wanted violence and free stuff and will use any excuse

  6. …don’t forget the promise of some possible free shoes.

  7. Just like the BLM riots had fuck all to do with George Floyd or racism in general. Just a bunch of scum looking to profit off a tragedy.

  8. I dont think there was much genuine anger among them. I think they were hateful bastards and I think they were having a fuckin whale of a time

  9. I think a good bit of it was people just along for the ride, who wanted to riot and fuck shit up, people who don’t care about anything or anyone, in my opinion.

  10. It’s the same as the London riots years back, these people are just simpletons who want to fuck shit up, they’re the same people who’ll jump you with their friends for having a “weird” haircut. We all know the types. People want it to be some kind of insidious far-right conspiracy when it’s mostly just scumbags who do shit like this weekly for their own entertainment.
