Things that make you go What the F**k?

[tyroneStatto]

Won't be watching the video, but always find it worrying that when coming across an incident like this someone's first reaction is to film it

Completely agree.

It's the way of the world now sadly. Can obviously be a good thing as we'd know nothing about that incident beyond there was a stabbing. My

Was a horrific incident in Newry last year of a poor fella killed by a lorry and the very graphic images were being shared on whatsapp, I actually think someone was charged for taking the photos!

I believe the video was taken by a student nurse on her way home from work, so I can't say I blame her for not intervening.

No, but we absolutely should blame her if she took a video and circulated it. There was a tragedy, but there was no need for people to watch a video about it

Probably no harm in actually videoing it as it's obviously evidence against the f**ker that did it, but obviously without the video going around there'd be less of a reaction like what we're seeing. Or would there, maybe the headline Sudanese man attacks another man with knife would have gotten a big reaction as well.

People are rightly angry but the ones burning cars and houses are nothing but pondlife scum who are using this to act on their racism and good old loyalist supremacy complex of attacking anyone different (only if they're vulnerable/weaker than you of course)

Agree while people are angry, those involved in the violence and destruction we've seen are the scum of the earth. Actually know someone impacted by the violence and it's going to be a hard few days for them.

Of course they're "angry", the Police won't let them attack "taigs" any more e.g Scarva.
Their disgusting politicians tell them to be angry and wind them up while displaying their support standing with masked thugs.
They're not in charge any more plus of course long hours of daylight is "winding up" time for all their sectarian bile as the countdown to the Orangefest begins.
Then you have people with dark skin getting jobs....

Nail on the head.

Seen a documentary re a few years ago regarding bonfires.

The English journalist was at a bonfire and was interviewing the attendees.

Seeking some insight regarding the background / historical context all the neanderthals could say it was 'our culture' when pressed for more info the IQ of those being interviewed was clear for all to see.

Simon Reeve visited  Belfast over the twelfth a few years ago . Maybe it  was him?

Anyway,  two things he said  when seeing bonfires , stayed with me. 

"I don't see how burning hundreds of pallets is an expression of culture"

"This sort of thing wouldn't be tolerated  in anywhere  in Britain"

The same thing we've  all been saying for years. It's absolutely bonkers when you  think about it

If your outrage and anger is determined by the skin colour of the attacker then you don't care about victims

If it was the Simon reeve documentary I do remember him being a bit condescending to nationalists implying their chance of a united Ireland with time becoming more and more of a pipe dream making it sound like nationalists were a very very small minority.

A PUL actually used a huge big word like "legitimate" ?

F**k me, but the controlled schools must be churning out absolute geniuses nowadays.

In my day, they could usually only get up as far as 4 letter words, like "taig"

I saw it again too. In fairness,it was filmed in 2015 pre-Brexit, and the rise of Farage, etc.
