As Twitchy reported, there was rioting in Belfast, Northern Ireland, after a video spread of a Sudanese "asylum-seeker" trying to behead a man in the street. Stephen Ogilvie suffered severe injuries: he lost his left eye, experienced severe damage to his right eye, and had slash wounds and lacerations to his face and neck. He was hospitalized in serious but stable condition. His life was saved by bystanders who intervened.
ABC News has footage of the riot damage from Belfast that stemmed from the Sudanese migrant "who allegedly attacked another person with a knife."

Fix that soft language. Call it what it was. It was an attempted beheading of a disabled man by a third world migrant.

@ABC I saw the photo & or video, thousands, maybe millions have now seen the photo or video. No "alleged" about it. It was "confirmed" and it was "substantiated." Are you purposely employing 3rd graders to write your copy or hell bent on bastardizing the English language?

Looks like mostly peaceful rioting. Just a few bad actors. Overall a mostly peaceful protest.

As Sally Kohn will likely point out, they were insured.
Attempted beheading and attacked with a knife are very different things.

How the hell do you look at yourself in the mirror after writing something like that?

You mean attempted to decapitate a man? Fuck off. This is why nobody with a brain watches or listens to MSM.

Attacked? Allegedly? ... when a video clear as day shows what happened? Stabbing or attempted beheading? The victim had an eye stabbed out and cuts across his throat. All recorded by cell phone camera.

“Asylum seeker”

Get bent.
Murderous invader is the proper descriptor.
"Allegedly"? There's video of the attack you ass clowns.

You don't have the balls to show the video of the attack.

X CEO Elon Musk is taking a lot of criticism for allowing the video to spread, thus inciting violence.
Come on, ABC. The unrest didn't "stem" from the arrest. The unrest stemmed from the attempted beheading. Do you still hire J School grads or did an intern do this?

Until the assailant is convicted, they have to say "allegedly," even though millions saw the video of the attempted beheading. They learned that in journalism school.
