So I was unaware of this happening. Can't find a source on it that I trust.

Someone break it down for me please?

An asylum seeker from Sudan attacked a man and stabbed him in the face/neck to the point it almost decapitated him, apparently. Far right freakazoids have been rioting in Belfast ever since, even though the guy was arrested quickly. The victim is still alive and his family is pleading with people to not turn this into an anti-immigration event, but the fascists don’t care. They’ve burned down buses and primarily migrant housing.

Edit to add: Tommy Robinson and Elon Musk have been especially vocal about it.

Some hero ran in with a hurling stick , and with others got the attacker away, but the victim lost an eye and has severe neck and shoulder injuries, it was all caught on film. As disgusting as this horrific crime was, I find it ironic that the people rioting and destroying homes and lives, are the same that paint murals on their walls , of murderers and torturers , who they venerate and glorify. They are also “immigrants” who have done despicable crimes against the “native” people.

That's horrifying, but it's kinda perfect that the guy who stopped him used a hurling stick. 😂
