Horrific.
And this is why every immigrant carries a germ of unease within them, the lack of a sense of security, the gnawing fear that one day, the majority will turn on them.
I was raised with it.
Honestly, banning social media for those over 16 would probably be more beneficial to society.
This whole thread, and particularly this.
When families are trapped inside their houses, bricks (and worse) thrown through their windows and fires lit outside, that's not a clash. Or if it is, it's a clash between racist thugs and human decency.
Incitement to racist violence, pure and simple.
Everyone on X and elsewhere who called for a violent response should be charged with incitement.
Everyone involved in the pogrom should be locked up with exemplary sentences.
Govt should make it clear that will be the response in future anywhere else.
Enough.
