My friend is there, he said it was mostly stupid football hooligan kids, they don't even know the nationality of the assailant, they just want to break stuff and steal adidas track suits from the sports shops.
In every one of those pictures you can see it's opportunistic scumbags. No surprise it was a foot locker that was looted.
"The Nike's are all gone from this one lads.... There's another down the road let's go..."
i dunno why they're destroying their own stuff to riot over migrants
If the Irish want to maintain control of their country, they must show immigrants that harming the Irish is the job of the IRISH and the IRISH ONLY

Extremists don't think ahead, they throw tantrums.
It's not their stuff these are useless bottom feeding cunts, they don't contribute so they've aided in getting none of this stuff.
They destroyed businesses and public transport. Losers. They could have protested the piss poor quality of healthcare and even worse supply of mental health services specifically.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Public transport was suspended and patients advised not to travel to a nearby maternity hospital unless absolutely necessary after clashes between riot police and anti-immigrant protesters, who arrived at the scene of the attack beside the main thoroughfare of O'Connell Street.
A double decker bus was burned to the ground in front of the Daniel O'Connell statue at the head of the street and windows were smashed at a nearby Holiday Inn hotel and McDonalds restaurant.
We have a complete lunatic, hooligan faction driven by far right ideology engaged in serious violence," Police Commissioner Drew Harris told reporters after deploying 400 officers to restore public order.
Harris said all lines of inquiry related to the attack remained open, contradicting a senior officer who had earlier told reporters that police were satisfied the incident was not terror-related.
"There was complete and utter pandemonium, women wailing, men screaming and crying," Anthony Boyle, 31, an IT consultant who lives on the road and was passing by told Reuters.
"There is a group of people, thugs, criminals, who are using this appalling attack to sow division," Justice Minister Helen McEntee told reporters.
