Note from Scradje:
This terrible news story appears to be unconnected with what’s going on in Ukraine. But if you can bear to read it, in the comments section I will attempt to explain why IMHO it is in fact tangential.
Footage shows man being pinned to ground and stabbed several times in face and neck

A Somali man has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder after a knifeman appeared to attempt to behead a man in Belfast.
The suspect has been taken into custody after the victim, in his 40s, suffered “significant injuries” to his face, neck and back in what police described as a brutal attack.
Footage shared on social media, which is too graphic to publish, appears to show the suspect, in his 30s, pinning the man to the ground before stabbing him in the head several times.
Police were called to the scene on Kinnaird Avenue at around 10.30pm on Monday night, and reportedly recovered a knife from the scene.
Residents on the street in northern Belfast intervened in the attack, with one onlooker appearing to hit the knifeman repeatedly with a wooden hurling stick.

Sir Keir Starmer described the incident as “sickening”, adding: “I have absolutely no tolerance for abhorrent scenes of violence like this on our streets.
“My thoughts are first and foremost with the victim, and I thank the first responders, including members of the public who intervened.”
Nigel Farage, the Reform leader, called on authorities to release more information about the suspect, saying: “The public are entitled to the truth.”
Gavin Robinson, the leader of the DUP, said the attack was “barbaric” and “medieval”. He told BBC Radio Ulster: “What I have seen on social media over the last 12 hours is something you cannot unsee.
“It’s important that police give that information – there can be no space for half truths, there can be no space or rumour mills getting ahead of the facts,” he added.
Paul McCusker, an independent councillor, told BBC Northern Ireland that some residents had witnessed the “horrific and terrifying” incident and had attempted to stop it.
“One lady said she had to go to hospital herself because of the stress of witnessing such a brutal attack,” he said. “I’ve never seen an attack like this happen on the streets of north Belfast.”
The scene, outside an apartment complex, remained cordoned off on Tuesday morning, with markers on the ground showing where the attack took place.
Jon Burrows, the leader of the Ulster Unionist Party, said the “barbaric attack” had “caused shock across not only Northern Ireland but the entire United Kingdom”.
Carl Whyte, the SDLP North Belfast councillor, urged people not to view or share the online footage “for the sake of the victim and his family”.
He said: “This was an appalling act of extreme violence. The victim of this attack has endured a terrifying ordeal and all our thoughts are with him and his family and we pray for his full recovery.
Mr Whyte told The Belfast Telegraph: “I would also ask people not to engage with far-Right elements who will use this incident in an attempt to sow division. It’s important that people remain calm and allow justice to take its course.”
Anyone who witnessed the incident or has dashcam or CCTV footage has been urged to contact police.

Ulster Protestants are the most loyal, reliable, hard-working and patriotic of all people living in the British Isles. Hence their sobriquet “Loyalists.”
Ulster people have already suffered more than enough from IRA savagery to have to tolerate this vileness.
Even if the victim of this turns out to be IRA scum (unlikely), I will still be outraged.
The IRA has been funded, suppled and trained by ruZZia these past 80 years. There was no terror gang so evil until AQ/isis/hamas came along. The nexus : they are all ruZZia clients.
IRA/Sinn Fein are in a strong position to form the next majority govt in the Irish Republic. That will make Ireland even more of a putinaZi satellite than it is already.
I have now found one thing I can agree with Krasnov on : what he said about Somalis :
“US President Donald Trump has said he does not want Somali immigrants in the US, telling reporters they should “go back to where they came from” and “their country is no good for a reason”.
“I don’t want them in our country, I’ll be honest with you,” he said during a cabinet meeting on Tuesday. Trump said the US would “go the wrong way if we keep taking in garbage into our country”.
He’s quite happy with putinaZis coming in though.
Anyway, Somalis should be kept out of civilization, along with putinaZis and all izlamonaZis.
Putler and Lukashenko have been working hard to enable degenerates from primitive cultures to get into Europe, in the certain knowledge that weak-minded governments will let them in. In the case of Merkel of course it was carefully planned and executed.
Why? To get putler-friendly regimes in power in Europe. Hence, outrages like this one hasten their election.
Farage will do very well from this latest horror. And so will all the other putlerist parties.
UNLESS there is a sweeping change : a declaration to remove all degenerates and to refuse any more.
WTF is it with these people? I don’t condemn all Somalians but every vermin on this earth that commits such atrocities. Where the f**ck do they come from…the depths of a sewer?
Someone made an error.
Turns out that the perpetrator is Sudanese, not Somali.
Sudan is another evil shithole. Huge landmass and a large izlamonaZi population. Ugh!
iZlam = SHIT
