Who were the rescue team searching for when this happened? Was there a lost child?
Right...no attackers’ names given
They were off-duty, per this: https://www.rte.ie/news/2026/0329/1565790-man-dog-assault/
Not a heavy muslim area. About 1%.
Probably Protestant, given the territory.
Clearly a case of “Colter’s Law”
Might be locals as well. Yobs in the UK can be incredibly violent.
Ah. Headline made it sound official.
Protestant kids don’t hate dogs. But they have several hotels in Bangor for migrants. And no identities on the arrested ones...
It’s moslem migrants.
That sounds like an unnecessary and distracting exaggeration. I mean, honestly, “countless”? Do they “save” 20 or 30 people a day, walking the Earth from one hopeless emergency to the next?
Max was wearing the wrong football club jersey.
Muzzies hate dogs, but they especially hate black dogs....
More white boy blues covers for you and me.
