Attacks on Indian Community

[marhay70]

At a bit of a loss to understand this. In my experience, Indians are among those immigrants I would welcome.
All I can think of is their physical resemblance to Pakistanis, whom I certainly don't welcome. Indians coming here have traditionally been professionals and entrepreneurs, people who have had a positive effect on our society.

I wonder if the number of attacks on Indians is proportional to the number of Indians in the country? There are attacks every day of the week on Irish people, regular attacks on Americans, British people, Nigerians, Chinese people, and every other nationality that has substantial representation in this country.
For some reason, the media and politicians (who are always in lock step in this country) have chosen to go into full hysterical mode about Indians, with full NGO backup.
If the figures show that Indians are statistically more likely than, say, white Irish people to be assaulted in the street, then there is definitely something to be done. If, as I strongly suspect, the case is that they aren’t, and the media and political classes have decided that this is a good way to deflect attention from their immigration position, while offering the opportunity to shout “racist” at anyone and everyone, then it’s just more of the same.

The purpose being what? If you think there are ulterior motives you must have some idea as to what they are.

It’s low level Irish scum attacking people with a different skin colour for absolutely no other reason than they’re swamp scum and that’s what they do - plain and simple - the scum who do this should be placed in stocks for a week without medical assistance - they might realise very quickly that ironically, the peaceful people from India they so detested don’t actually hurl the waste water and stones and abuse at them - guaranteed it will be other scum Irish whiteys that will participate in that

The purpose being to subvert legitimate criticism of Irelands current immigration policy. Why do you think the government, media and immigration NGO’s constantly harp on about “the rise of the far right” and how racist Irish people are? It’s so that anyone who asks awkward questions about the great asylum scam can be painted with the racist/nazi/farright/fascist brush and their concerns dismissed. How many street assaults happened in Ireland this year? How many were against Indian people? Without the answers to these questions any hysteria about “a spate of attacks on the Indian community” is just that - hysteria. Now if we had a breakdown of crimes by nationality, both for the perpetrators and victims, we’d know if this is a media and political invention, or a real epidemic. Guess why we don’t.
A sudden surge in violence against a subset of foreign people would be a very worrying development. Or a great way of putting a stop to the great unwashed asking awkward questions about all those newly minted multi-millionaires “providing essential services”.

If I were a member of the Indian community, I would want RTE, politicians on holidays and NGOs to all shut up. All they are doing is virtue signalling and drawing more attention to the Indian community, who normally fly under the radar.
Not that I am over enamoured with said Indian community, after all their state is one of the principal supporters of the Russian Regime. Who are a great threat to parts of the EU. You can't run with the hare and hunt with the hounds in these matters. I view the government of India with disdain. They are no friends of Ireland or Europe.

Nowhere did this poster imply that they deemed attacks of any kind acceptable, but you know this yourself.

Well, it's not difficult to understand, unlike your good self, who can rationalise such racist views against different nationalities, these little scrotes cannot.
They can only hate, probably just about everyone, but it's easier to attack those afraid to defend themselves.

[NattyO]

I wonder will The Journal do a factcheck on the “spate of attacks on Indians” like they did on the murders of South African farmers?

[PogMoThoin22]

This is a criminal, justice and a policing issue conveniently dressed up as racism issue to support a narrative. Scrotes being scrotes

Simon Harris making a special visit to the victim.

Is he planning to do this for every victim of random violence? Did he pay a visit to Ashling Murphy’s family, or the two lads beheaded by a homophobic killer ?? Or the kids stabbed outside school??

Nope. The government have chosen a side - and it’s not us.

Yet he couldn't keep his promise to speak with Harveys parents. Sound bites from this compulsive liar mean zero

That was a horrible end for that poor child - and 100% preventable death; he can find money for anyone who “loses” their passport or pays a trafficker thousands to get them here but kids who need surgery? Back of the line.

Seems like they playing the victim card on this stuff tbh. Attacks happen all the time in Ireland these scummers in days gone by would just attack well off/middle class kids or people and still do every now and then now with more blacks, indians, asians etc... here it's more obvious when it happens. Some white kid got jumped by a mob of 20 blacks the others day and it hardly made the news though it's funny the double standards...

No doubt you’ll get the usual suspects chiming in but how many people are beaten up in big cities? Should it happen ? No.

Do other groups get so many column inches, social media posts and a march in the streets ? Also no.

You’re right about the gangs of ahem “new Irish” battling with machetes but apparently that’s ok to them.

Hence why i used the word "victim"

The point is they are making a big song and dance about it as if they are the only ones who are victims of these gurriers. This has being going on for years. With more people of colour in the country you will get more attacks on people of colour it's a statistical certainty.

So people who are attacked shouldn't say anything about it, because other people are attacked?
So no one should say anything about being victims of anything in your opinion?

We have one Indian journalist fond of telling how racist the Irish are, but seems to have amnesia about fact she comes from a country where the caste system is alive and well and you have a hindu politician calling for a bounty on catholic priests.
And that before we ever get to the hatred between hindus and muslems that is always simmering between the surface.

BTW a lot of the Indians I know in Ireland are actual christians.
And they are often here because of discrimination or downright backward behaviour they experience in India simply because of the matter of their birth.

And most of them are contributing to this country, they are often stuck trying to find accommodation like the natives thanks to the penchant for allowing in lots of freeloaders.
BTW the ones that are not contributing are the shysters with often fraudulent qualifications.

Also that plonker Harris makes a lot of hay out of the fact that out health service need Indians, but he neglects to mention fact that it is because native Irish can't afford to stay working for our health service, unless of course they want to live 10 to the house.

[ceannairceach]

I’ll be perfectly honest - given the sheer terrifying volume and types of horrific sexual crimes committed in India, I’d be very reticent about populating Ireland with many more en masse.

A lot of the times “victims” were not blameless for the attack that they endured. Although I’m not implying that this is necessarily the case in this particular instance.

Agreed.

There is currently a complete two tier justice system in the UK and I don’t want us to go down that route.

Merely because someone got a smack on the face doesn’t mean they are a victim - that imam recently with a 100% fake story anyone ??

Well being attacked makes one a victim. If circumstances are different, say someone got a smack as a result of self defense by another, then they are not victims.

No idea what imam you are talking about.
You can absolutely get away with assault or injury if you play it right. No idea if this person here had caused anything to trigger the attack.
