Sex Crimes Spark Three Nights Of Anti-Immigration Riots In N. Ireland
In the wake of yet another alleged sex crime perpetrated by non-natives, a city in Northern Ireland has been rocked by three consecutive nights of anti-immigration riots. In this case, two 14-year-olds arrested on Sunday stand accused of attempted oral rape of a teenage girl on the previous night. The ensuing wave of arson, vandalism and anti-police violence — which has left more than 32 officers injured — has spread from Ballymena to other towns, prompting authorities to deploy reinforcements from the area and to request 80 officers be dispatched from across the Irish Sea.

While there’s been no official announcement about the alleged perpetrators’ origins, their appearance in court was facilitated by a Romanian translator, and social media chatter indicates they’re Roma. “She was taken into a house and brutally sexually assaulted on Saturday evening,” a woman identified as a relative of the latest alleged victim told a social-media interviewer. “There was a mattress in the garage.” According to their conversation, this was the third incident in a fortnight, with at least one of the other incidents also involving a teenage girl.
