Citizens of Dublin, Ireland, have set fire to the city in protest of a knife attack that has left five people, including three young children, injured.
Al Jazeera reports that the suspect in custody is “a man in his 50s” and “police would not comment on the identity or nationality of the man in custody.”
AX reporter Andy Ngo stated that the suspect is “an immigrant.”
“A source who witnessed the riots in Dublin, Ireland sent me this,” he said of a video clip of the pandemonium. “He said many Irish people had had enough of violence, sex crimes and housing problems caused by migrants, and the revelation that a suspected immigrant was allegedly responsible for the mass stabbing attack on children in the center of the city was a breaking point.”

Instead of blaming the knife guy, Police Commissioner Drew Harris blamed the riots on a “faction of thugs and hooligans driven by far-right ideology,” according to Al Jazeera.
Other media seized on the statement, repeating the claim that the destruction is the fault of the “extreme right”.

Irish Prime Minister Leo Varadkar called the riots “shameful” and vowed that the Gardai, Ireland’s state police force, would fight the “waves of ignorance and criminality”.

“Those involved have brought shame on Dublin, Ireland and their families and themselves,” Varadkar said. “This is not who we are. This is not who we want to be, and this is not who we will ever be.”
Video of the fiery riot is flooding social media, with images of a burning bus doing the rounds.

In accordance with Reuters“A double-decker bus was burned to the ground in front of the Daniel O’Connell statue at the head of the street and the windows of a nearby Holiday Inn hotel and McDonalds restaurant were smashed. A Footlocker store went be plundered”.
“A police car was also burnt,” the company added.
The attack that sparked the riots is under investigation.
“Harris said all lines of inquiry related to the attack remained open, contradicting a senior official who had earlier told reporters that police were confident the incident was not terror-related,” Reuters reports.
“I will not speculate further on a terrorist motive,” Harris said. “Until we’re sure what the reason is, we have to keep an open mind about why this happened.”
According to Reuters:
The scene was still cordoned off just before 1800 GMT when a group of about 50 anti-immigrant protesters briefly broke through a police barrier. Some shouted “get them out” and one threw the rearview mirror of a police car. Another was draped with an Irish flag.
A larger crowd then began throwing objects and shooting fireworks at riot police wearing helmets and shields once they were deployed, and the riots spiraled out of control. The crowds began to disperse around 2100 GMT.
The outlet notes: “Net migration among Ireland’s 5.3 million people hit the second highest level since records began in the 12 months to April and around 100,000 Ukrainian refugees have reached since the Russian invasion, among the highest per capita in the EU.”
Justice Minister Helen McEntee blamed “thugs” pushing back against progressive immigration policy.
“There is a group of people, thugs, criminals, who are using this terrible attack to sow division,” he told reporters. “Gardai (police) are using all possible force to restore order. This will not be tolerated.”
