Dublin - A racist Easter stabbing (read: "murder")

Not enough that this country is currently wondering a lot about the bastards in cassocks who not only mentally dominated the way the Irish were supposed to think, live and die; but as it now turns out also sexually abused generations of their children.

This Easter just became a little bit grimmer, as we now seem to have the first racist murder of the year.

During the last weeks, I was wondering about how little news there is on the "Dublin Murder" front, and now - bang! - it's not only a murder, not only a stabbing - it's the heinous stabbing of a 15 year old youth, and the main reason for it is very likely his colour of skin.

Toyosi Shittabey, a teenager of Nigerian descent, who lived already a couple of years in Ireland, was stabbed and died in hospital on April 3rd. It is understood that too brothers in their 20s and 30s respectively are currently questioned and Garda seem to be pretty sure that racism was the reason / motive.

The murder happened in northwest Dublin, Tyrrelstown.

My deepest condolences to Toyosi's family.
