On the heels of Henry Nowak's murder, which was grossly mishandled by UK policemen, comes news from Ireland of a Sudanese (originally mistakenly identified as Somali) immigrant attempting to behead a man in the street.

The Nowak case revealed a government and mentality that puts racism over violence and crime. So it will come as no surprise that Ireland did the meme again.
The horrific scenes in North Belfast should not be used by English, right wing politicians to further their own ends. I don’t ever remember them commenting on any of the other hellish things that community has experienced over the years.

As the old saw goes, it's not the tragedy, it's the right's response to it that is the real crime.
Let's say you're a typical leftist politician. You hold to all the standard dogmatic truths: immigration is good under all circumstances without question, crime is simply a product of marginalization (unless you're white), your dominant culture is evil and must be dismantled. From Los Angeles to Dublin, they all sing from the same hymnal.
We need calm heads.

It’s very important that people like Rupert Lowe, Elon Musk, Nigel Farage and others don’t use this horrific Belfast incident to whip up hostility and division against minorities, migrants and Muslims living in the UK.
We all agree the incident was… https://t.co/wBr6nzS4Qa
The meme, by the way.

Oh noes, someone attempted to behead a fellow citizen but I'm worried citizens might complain about it. - you, translated
— Physics Geek (@physicsgeek) June 9, 2026
Your myopic, infantile, and suicidal ideology is going to get you and your fellow citizens killed.
What if, and stay with us here, the anti-immigrant rage is because you, as a politician, are too entrenched in the denial of any problem and steadfastly opposed to addressing it?
Thank you for helping make sure that people don’t notice the migrants trying to behead people again

Stop disrespecting the Decapitation Dorks, Folks!

When you say "their own ends," do you mean their ability to stop stabbings & attempted beheading?

If you've been on Twitter long enough, you know all the dodges: 'white people commit more crime', 'ackshually, rape is a man problem', 'you're only complaining because you are a racist so shut up', and on and on.
One of the most obvious of the fallacies these propagandists use on their own taxpayers . It’s a disgrace. Excusing absurd violence because “there already exists domestic violence so let’s import some more “ is just insulting 🙄 pic.twitter.com/aF1YZyvsOx

Perfectly stated.
Remember people, trying to cut someone’s head off in the street isn’t the problem, complaining about it is.

Returning to the especially hypocritical Colum Eastwood, Minister of Parliament, he seems bothered about others interfering in Irish affairs. Did we mention he's a hypocrite?
It's true. People in far away places shouldn't use such deaths to advance their politics. pic.twitter.com/dlZJd4cZap

Do they use the term 'wanker' in Ireland or is uniquely British?
You have now posted three times on this incident, with your first tweet now deleted. In two of those three tweets your primary concern has been English politicians. The victim has received one line. The attacker has received none.

OK, 'wanker' it is.
I voted against proscribing Palestine Action as a terrorist organisation today.
— Colum Eastwood (@columeastwood) July 2, 2025
By every measure they are a campaign group, not terrorists. Meanwhile the campaign of murder and genocide continues in Gaza and the West Bank.
That’s where the focus should be.
Of course this guy has a position on a country far away from his own, and guess what? He's on the side of Hamas.
