Immigration in Ireland is out of control. Ireland is barely 'Irish' anymore. And apparently, putting up a sign or graffiti that simply says 'Irish
Lives Matter' is now a hate crime in the country.
Good luck trying to teach the Irish about what constitutes a "hate crime".
Because given the troubles, the history, and what transpired in the nation, if they don't know, nobody does.
I can't seem to access the link as it appears to want my email or a subscription.
Should probably add to that just to clarify what page I'm on, obviously, Irish lives matter.
And i would go with the graffiti expressing an opinion as opposed to being a serious crime.
Now where hate crimes are considered, well here is the thing, all crimes that involve a measure of violence or malice are hate crimes.
So calling specific incidents hate crimes kind of detracts or takes away from other crimes of a similar nature that did not happen to tick the box.
