No Standstill For The 67 Women Killed By White Men

Lasair Dhearg ☭ with a statement on racist violence after the brutal attack in Kinnaird Avenue.

9-June-2026

Last night a man was attacked in Kinnaird Avenue in North Belfast and seriously injured by another man wielding a knife in a sickening and barbaric attack. Only for the intervention of locals, who put themselves at risk of significant harm to save another human being, the victim could have died. We understand that he is now in hospital in a critical condition.

The individual who carried out this mindless act was not here 'illegally', and he was not ‘undocumented’ but had been granted leave to remain by the British ‘Home Office’. This has become an intense focus for many in the hours since, with many false rumours circulating on social media about the age of the victim who, it is understood, is an older adult male. If the attacker was white, you can be guaranteed that there would be fewer comments and much less speculation.

This barbaric attack now reinforces the already sickening knife crime figures across both failed states in Ireland.

Between 2019 and 2023 alone, there were a total of 901 convictions for the possession of a knife in the Six Counties. 3,500 arrests have also taken place for ‘homicides, attempted murders and serious assaults’. The Twenty Six Counties fares no better, where over a ten year period since 2015 an average of one person per month has been murdered with a knife.

The extreme majority of these crimes have been carried out by white men.

Unionist gangs are now calling on people throughout the Six Counties to take to the streets tonight to ‘show their anger’. These calls are nothing but pure sectarianism, as many of the protests are being directed to local Sinn Féin constituency offices in what is clearly an attempt to link any increase in migration to ‘the Catholics’.

If you are one of the many individuals out there that have stated this sickening attempt at ‘beheading’ has never happened before, you are either ignorant to the facts or telling deliberate lies. We remind you of that other Unionist gang, the Shankill Butchers, that wreaked havoc in the 1970s and 80s. Most of their victims were literally butchered with many decapitated. Cromwell's armies beheaded thousands, then during the 1798 Rebellion thousands were executed and their heads placed on pikes to spread fear throughout the country.

We remind you also of Unionist John White, friend of Johnny Adair, and responsible for two of the most sickening deaths Ireland witnessed during the recent conflict, when he butchered to death Irene Andrews and Paddy Wilson in a frenzied attack where he beheaded one and nearly the other. He was a white man. The Shankill Butchers were white men.

Unfortunately, last night's tragic attack is now completely overshadowed by the intentions of mindless bigots who want to utilise it for their own self-interests.

Those taking to the streets won't care about our history but will stoke up tension and spread fear amongst the many migrants that have made themselves integral members of our communities.

Many of those protests will be organised and attended by known thugs and women abusers who utilise social media to massage their own egos and enhance their macho persona. They will say that they want to ‘protect women and kids’ when it is well known that they themselves are, or associate with and support, the abusers of women and children. Countless members of their ranks have been exposed in recent years and months as abusers.

These are the types of people now organising protests across the Six Counties to ‘bring the place to a standstill’ yet have failed to do just that for the 67 women across Ireland that have been murdered since 2020, the vast majority of which were killed by men known to the victims and almost exclusively white.

When will Ireland be brought to a standstill for them?
