Severe bruises to her shoulder as stones barely miss her head

This level of violence against Chinese and Asian students is daily- it's only a matter of time before someone is killed like Zhao Liu Tao- if you're interested in helping Natsuko, give me an email- maybe we need a Unity demonstration in Drumcondra itself- attack happened near Saint Luke's

Violence is a part of our working class communities. violence is a part of our every day life. in the real world people live with violence everyday, people no matter who they are, whether they be, students, tourists are not immune from reality, it is a violent world we live in today. i can remember being stoned by crowds of wee kids, wee kids stone anything where i live, it is nothing personal, although capitalism does encourage racism, by promising the guillible working class that they too can live like the golden boy aryan couples in the movies, so the working class are encouraged to compete with each other and every other race to try an attain the american dream, working class kids living in scumsville dream of emigrating to amerikay, only there wont be any room in amerikay for them, if loads of blacks are emigrating too, and then they think they'll have to start at the bottom with blacks when they emigrate to amerikay. when you think of the capitalist american dream, black faces dont fit in the golden boy picture. capitalism is only meant for rich white folks and very rich light skinned folks. who wants to live in ultra exclusive areas for beautiful people/plastic surgery disasters, if blacks are your next door neighbours.such is the depth of hate white folks have for blacks, its almost as bad as the depth of hate protestants have for catholics.'wouldnt want one living next door to me'. recently i went out to a bar, some ugly spidy hun fuk was calling me, 'sambo', the fuker shut up when the provies arrived, proving that aryan golden boys are not so proud and brave when push comes to shove. i win.

I got pegged by spuds once cycling down Lombard street on me bike. Got one right in the kisser, I fairly started legging it then.

I am not trying to be flippant. Can you provide a source for this headline? I haven't heard anything about it.

thank you,

Declan

The source is Joe C the girl is one of his students. He's rightly furious about it, attacks on students attenting the language school where he works are coming nearly daily.

We're going to try and get a full report together.
