Violence in the UK Following the Killing Spree of 3 Girls in Southport | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

Following a week of violence, UK cities and towns are on high alert. Police say they are bracing for more than 100 possible events and 30 counter protests tonight. It started with a stabbing rampage that killed 3 young girls in the seaside community of Southport. The violence was sparked by the spread of misinformation about the identity of the suspect. He was falsely identified as an immigrant and a Muslim. Rioters spouting anti-immigrant slogans have attacked mosques and hotels housing asylum-seekers, with reports emerging of violent counterattacks in some communities. Just today, the Liverpool Crown Court sentenced 3 men to jail time after they admitted to being part of the violence. Author, Historian and EWTN contributor, Joanna Bogle, joins to tell us what the reaction has been to these riots in Britain. There are questions over the origins of this misinformation. Bogle shares whether we know if it started in Britain or elsewhere. She discusses what the Church's reaction has been there and whether she finds that it's making an impact. ------------ EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
