Last Thursday, Dublin was rocked by riots after a man, rumored to be an Algerian immigrant, stabbed several people, including three little children.

In the wake of the riots, the police commissioner tried to blame the "far right."

Former UFC champion Conor McGregor then spoke out against how the authorities dealt with the situation and had been dealing with immigration. 

Innocent children ruthlessly stabbed by a mentally deranged non-national in Dublin, Ireland today. Our chief of police had this to say on the riots in the aftermath. Drew, not good enough. There is grave danger among us in Ireland that should never be here in the first place, and… https://t.co/ac6j1GIjXD

"Innocent children ruthlessly stabbed by a mentally deranged non-national in Dublin, Ireland today," McGregor said. "Our chief of police had this to say on the riots in the aftermath. Drew, not good enough. There is grave danger among us in Ireland that should never be here in the first place, and there has been zero action done to support the public in any way, shape or form with this frightening fact. NOT GOOD ENOUGH. Make change or make way. Ireland for the victory  God bless those attacked today, we pray."

McGregor made clear that he did not condone the riots and said they do nothing toward "fixing the issues we face," but that he did understand the frustration and that things needed to change. 

I do not condone last nights riots. I do not condone any attacks on our first responders in their line of duty. I do not condone looting and the damaging of shops. Last nights scenes achieved nothing toward fixing the issues we face. I do understand frustrations however, and I do… https://t.co/FFx7d0ZROb

He also said he would do something about the issues, which some interpreted as an indication that he might be stepping into the political arena, at least on the immigration question. McGregor has more than 10 million followers on X and more than 47 million on Instagram, so he has a big voice. 

"I am in the process of arranging. Believe me I am way more tactical and I have backing. There will be change in Ireland, mark my words," he declared.  "If they do not act soon with their plan of action to ensure Ireland’s safety, I will."

As we previously reported, there had already been protests regarding the influx of illegal immigration.

Additionally, McGregor criticized the prime minister, Leo Varadkar, on Sunday for his statement about the Hamas release of Emily Hand, which sounded like she'd been lost in a park and then found again, as opposed to kidnapped by ruthless terrorists. He asked why Varadkar and authorities were downplaying crimes against children. 

She was abducted by an evil terrorist organization. What is with you and your government and your paid for media affiliates constantly down playing / attempting to repress horrific acts that happen to children. You are a disgrace. The day after a stabbing of children in Ireland,… https://t.co/YKyviZDLfW

His posts are now reportedly being looked into by the Garda, the Irish police, for online "hate speech."

When Varadkar was asked about McGregor's words, he said it was vital to pass the proposed hate speech law. He said they needed to pass it immediately within a matter of weeks so they could go after people who post "hate" online. 

The hate speech law that Ireland is preparing to pass is arguably the most radical legislation of its kind we've seen in the West.

It criminalizes the mere possession of materials that are "likely to incite violence or hatred" — books, videos, or even memes on your phone. https://t.co/K4EtD8iTZV pic.twitter.com/hMZos9zi84

The proposed law is incredibly bad and criminalizes even the possession of things that might incite violence. 

But hey, Irish people, don't worry; all law is about the restriction of freedom, and they're "restricting freedom" for the "common good." Yikes.

"We are restricting freedom for the common good": Irish Green Party Senator Pauline O'Reilly says that her government's hate speech bill is about "restricting freedom," and censoring views on gender identity if those views create "discomfort."#gript pic.twitter.com/H7QIT0QHmf

The Irish people are in deep trouble if something like this passes. But it shows you where some on the left want to take us.
