Dublin Riots chatting get them out: Police Attacked. Watch videos at the bottom of post In the shadow of Ireland 's gleaming capital, a powder keg of frustration and fear has ignited into flames—literally. Over the past three nights, Dublin has witnessed escalating violence as protesters, fueled by outrage over an alleged sexual assault, have turned their fury on a hotel housing asylum seekers . What began as a somber vigil has spiraled into chaotic clashes, with police officers pelted by fireworks, stones, and bottles, a police van torched, and dozens arrested.
