Does anyone remember when those two Norwegian girls went hiking in the Atlas Mountains of Morocco about 10-15 years ago and were raped and beheaded before their corpses were thrown off the side of a mountain? The CBC reported their deaths by saying that they had "fallen after sustaining neck wounds"
 
One typically Belfast detail of this story is that you could tell it happened in a Catholic area because one of the bystanders who tried to stop the attack used a hurley -- a wooden stick used in a traditional Irish sport similar to field hockey -- and also because his name uses the Gaelic spelling of Maitiu Mág Tighearnán (the English would be Matthew Tierney)
 
Fun fact: Ardoyne in West Belfast is a Catholic area, and was so violent during the Troubles that 1/3 of the total killings took place there. My Protestant grandmother grew up in Ardoyne, but her house was bombed twice by the Luftwaffe during WWII, so once it was no longer liveable she was moved to the east side of Belfast while her siblings remained in the old neighbourhood. When her brother in Ardoyne died in the 1970s it was too dangerous for her to attend the funeral because she wasn't a Catholic
 
As based (or as Trudeau would say in response to church burnings, ‘understandable’) as these responses are, you know damn well it will be used as a pretext to shift the focus and come down hard with all the stuff the government can throw at them. Next few weeks will be interesting.
 
Yeah, but the crackdown on white people was always going to happen one way or the other anyway, whether slowly via replacement migration or quickly via the deployment of migrant armies against the natives, so perhaps it's better to just get it all over with right now
