I was shocked to read this morning, awaking after a beautiful if cold Thanksgiving, that there was horrendous anti-immigrant rioting in Dublin. Some loon stabbed some schoolkids and a school staffer, he was caught, but some lunatic anti-immigrant morons came downtown with fireworks and “iron implements”, attacked the police, torched a refugee center and attacked the responding firefighters, looted stores, and torched buses and a tram.

And it was an immigrant who stopped the attacker: > **[Heroic Immigrant Actually Stopped Stabbing That Led to Far-Right Riot](https://www.thedailybeast.com/caio-benicio-heroic-brazilian-stopped-the-dublin-stabbing-that-led-to-far-right-riot)** > > Far right ‘hooligans’ whipped up outrage after reports the attacker in the shocking Dublin school stabbing was an immigrant.
