Crowd chanting anti-immigrant slogans clashes with police hours after stabbing incident outside school

Buses and trams have been torched and a shop looted during riots in Dublin city centre after a stabbing attack outside a school left three children injured.

Police and politicians called for calm amid warnings against misinformation as violence escalated from a demonstration that began on Thursday afternoon at the scene of the incident.

There were clashes with riot police as some demonstrators let off flares and fireworks, while others grabbed chairs and stools from outside bars and restaurants.

I'm confused - the article does not mention anything about the attacker being an immigrant or from any certain origin/group. What's the riot for then?

The attacker was an Algerian immigrant with an Irish passport.

The guy that stopped the attack was a Brazilian immigrant, a good man.

The absolute chancers that started the riots were far-right mentally challenged Knackers that showed up in black masks.

Ow wow, I didn't read Algerian in that at all... Whilst it's almost the same spelling.
