It was quite an odd take but on 5 Live they sent a WM reporter there. He said that people were putting stickers on their doors to say where they are from. This actually included a lot of East Asian immigrants as they are accepted in the community. This is targeted at East Europeans who have been perceived to refuse to integrate and that the assault was a tipping point that the rest of the community then decided to take matters into their own hands.
Quite ironic that descendants of jocks implanted into an area hundreds of years ago, during their own marching season, are accusing others of failing to integrate

"A report on international migration said that only 3.4% of Northern Ireland's population (65,600 people) are from a minority ethnic group. That compares to 18.3% in England and Wales, and 12.9% in Scotland."

so that's across the whole of NI. Don't be an apologist for this sh*t. It's people who want to be violent finding an excuse and attacking vulnerable people in their own homes.
Of course there will be elements who will do shit for kicks but history has a legacy of the indigenous reacting to certain behavioural traits of some of the 'guest' population.
Apologies for not supplying figures but I think you get the gist.

In the year to Nov '24 there were c. 1,600 sexual assaults and offences recorded in NI. What behavioural traits are these two Romanians displaying that NI's population don't? If that's not what you're on about, what are you on about?

Indigenous is always a weird one, too. We're not talking about a native tribe that's been recently colonised. Still feels like you're implying this is all ok and a normal, kinda acceptable response.

You are so wrong with your implication and preferential nuancing of language.

You are so wrong...

Genuinely curious what you mean by 'behavioural traits' tbf. It read like you were saying you understood people doing what they've done because of the ways in which immigrants might act differently to them.

Besides sounding or looking different, what are the differences? I don't think we're talking about a huge clash of cultures. If you wanna focus on Romanians, they're predominantly Christian and like a drink!

Where did the swimming baths come into it?

I saw something that said about a couple of Romanian boys being done for sexual assault, did they think the boys were in the leisure centre?
A local MP had posted on social media that immigrant families were being housed there, and the very fed up protesters took care of the rest.

With CCTV the poll tax riots wouldnt work now or even if the end result was they did, there would be a lot of people with an early morning knock, loss of job, house possibly family and 2 years inside. (Un)fortunately that's how it works these days :(

I guess historically Belfast has never had issues between two Christian factions ...

It’s people wanting an excuse to go and carry out some vandalism.
In old money, young people letting off steam. Can't do it at the football or anywhere else so when the occasion arises, and the weather is warm and possibly alcohol taken, they'll use any vehicle to take advantage of the situation whatever the cause. I do have a bit of sympathy with today's youth as they're almost like caged animals.

Really? Young people ‘letting off steam’ by petrol bombing houses?

Isn't that what wanking is for? You're stretching the idea just a bit here. This was (is) organised rioting and racist violence. Not a few kids having a scrap.
Sorry, my bad. Not talking about this specifically just riots in general. Some will be fuelled by hatred lots of others I'm sure get swept along for the ride

Yes, we do get the racist gist.

Being charitable, I think what Evo is meaning is the link to these teenagers being accused (don’t know if there’s been an outcome yet) of sexual assault against a 14 year old girl.

The subsequent mess is absolutely anti-‘migrant’ though.
So decades, if not centuries, of young children being assaulted by the clergy and it's all hush, hush, just move them on quietly.

Two foreign teenage boys - trash the city in anger.
