NBC Breaks the Ice on Belfast Unrest After Brutal Migrant Crime
Northern Ireland has exploded after the heinous attempted beheading of a local man by a migrant of Sudanese origin. Riots, which some may describe as fiery and mostly peaceful, have broken out. And with the exception of NBC, the Elitist Media Evening News have largely avoided the story.
Watch the report in its entirety, as aired on NBC Nightly News:

TOM LLAMAS: We want to take you overseas now to Northern Ireland, where it's getting very violent. As rioters crashed with police in Belfast, outraged by a brutal knife attack there allegedly committed by an immigrant. Keir Simmons has more.
KEIR SIMMONS: Tonight, police firing water cannons against rioters as they threw projectiles back. A new evening of more violence exploding in Northern Ireland. Protesters building a blockade, homes and vehicles set on fire this week. Here, a bus ablaze in Belfast.
BELFAST RESIDENT: Just violence upon violence.
BELFAST RESIDENT: My neighbor's house was set on fire.
SIMMONS: Families forced to evacuate to safety as flames ravaged their street. Violence erupting in parts of Northern Ireland after a knife attack that left the victim with multiple injuries, including losing an eye. Video of the stabbing shared online. The blurring was not added by NBC News. The man under arrest, originally from Sudan, claimed asylum in the UK in 2023, according to police in Belfast.
The attack comes amid escalating tension over immigration across Europe. Elon Musk writing on X this week: “Only by protesting REPEATEDLY and LOUDLY will there be any change.” And the Prime Minister urging politicians not to fuel the unrest.
KEIR STARMER: Nobody who is a politician should be whipping up division and hatred.
SIMMONS: The devastated victim’s family issuing a statement, saying in part: “Peaceful protest is the only way forward.” Keir Simmons, NBC News.
The protests are not limited to Northern Ireland. There have been protests and road closures throughout the United Kingdom. These protests are in opposition to an out-of-control immigration policy that has allowed hundreds of thousands if not millions of migrants to stream into the country from all over the world. And these policies have extracted a brutal social cost.
Credit to NBC for reporting the story down the middle, more or less. Or, compared to ABC and CBS, for reporting it at all. ABC and CBS could not find the time to report on massive protests against open-borders policy and its devastating effects on society.
CBS and ABC went with Bill Gates getting grilled on The Hill over his Epstein ties, a Nantucket man who caught a shark, and Europeans discovering America for the World Cup. As always, what doesn’t make it to the evening news is usually more important than what does.
