A 30-year-old man from Sudan appeared in a Belfast court Wednesday charged with attempted murder over a knife attack that left a victim seriously injured and triggered anti-immigrant violence in several parts of Northern Ireland.

Hadi Alodid, 30, was ordered held in jail after an appearance by video in Belfast Magistrates' Court, where he was accused of blinding Stephen Ogilvie in his left eye during the stabbing, prosecutors said. He was also charged with threatening to kill a radiographer on the same day and with possessing a knife.

Alodid refused legal representation through an Arabic interpreter and did not enter a plea.

The Police Service of Northern Ireland said there is no information to suggest the attack is terrorism-related and they are not seeking other suspects.

The family of Ogilvie said they were "completely devastated by the horrific attack on our loved one," in a statement released Wednesday.

"This has been a massive shock to our whole family, and right now our only priority is being at his bedside and helping him recover," the family said in the statement, which thanked first responders and local residents who intervened after the attack.

"Ogilvie's family condemned the violence and said the tragedy shouldn't be "used to divide people or fuel hostility.""

It’s not just about one incident
It’s the catalyst

[Frank Drebin]

Wonder how much money they have been promised by the authorities to say that...

I suspect the "division" (the White Man resenting treasonous leaders who bring their enemies into their country, preferring said invaders over housing, medicine, rights, etc) existed long before now.

Every nation's people have a breaking point.

I’m glad the family has that sentiment, but the fact of the matter is...

The Beginnings -- Rudyard Kipling

It was not part of their blood,
It came to them very late
With long arrears to make good,
When the English began to hate.

They were not easily moved,
They were icy-willing to wait
Till every count should be proved,
Ere the English began to hate.

Their voices were even and low,
Their eyes were level and straight.
There was neither sign nor show,
When the English began to hate.

It was not preached to the crowd,
It was not taught by the State.
No man spoke it aloud,
When the English began to hate.

It was not suddenly bred,
It will not swiftly abate,
Through the chill years ahead,
When Time shall count from the date
That the English began to hate.

If you won’t fight for your family and a society where families like yours can be safe what worth are you?

Christian principles are not a suicide pact, we are excepted to protect the weak, not seek submission thinking it is peace at the cost of innocent lives.

The sacrifice is a personal one we make not the lives of others when practicing Cristian prinicples

Ogilvie family, it is cowardice like yours that enable and encourage attacks by barbarian invaders.

Grow a pair.
In the meantime, shut up.

[Bruce Buckley]

Family says that?

What about the victim himself, who had his eye gouged out, but was not also decapitated solely because an adjacent Irishman brandished a hockey stick against the Muslim invader, who chose vengeance against the victim who was simply helping the invader move in to the apartment?

Gives new suasion to the maxim that no good deed goes unpunished.

It’s not money, it’s intimidation.

Britain has the same sort of of police unit which acts like the Community Relations Service in the DOJ.

Intimidate, cajole, threaten White families who are victims of black/wog crime to “not look back in anger” say “we are not racist” and call for “peace” and “respect the law”... etc.

[aquila48]

Yep, turn the other cheek!

[Reverend Wright]

eyes gougeed out, and the family caves into police intimidation with “non-racist wog-gobbling liberalism”

The Hampshire Police were going to blame Henry Nowak as a racist who attacked a sikh, and was killed in self-defence.

The Nowak family refused to go along, and that’s why we know about that case.

The family is part of the problem.

The immediate responsibility for the crime is Hadi Alodid’s. The ultimate responsibility for the crime is with the powers that be in the UK who think that letting people with names like “Hadi Alodid” into the country to begin with is a good idea.

Wonder how much money they have been promised by the authorities to say that...

You are an optimist. I'm wondering in what way the authorities threatened them.

[OrangeHoof]

They’ve conditioned the whites to just accept anti-white violence.

[TalBlack]

Only white people seem to be capable of hostility.

[mass55th]

Tell that to the blacks.

I wonder who ordered them to say that.
