- dcminter 2y agoThe rumours saying that a muslim immigrant had committed the stabbing were not in any sense "true" My great grandfather came from what is now Czechia. If I commit a crime would one blame immigration? Would rumours that an Eastern european committed it be "true" ? The riots were driven by racism and anti immigrant sentiment inflated by social media rumour-mongering.
