Last Friday afternoon, as the pubs in Sunderland were filling with young men, Lesley McLaren closed up shop early, fearing riots after a stabbing incident. The riots, incited by false online claims, attacked police, looted stores, and were fueled by anti-immigrant sentiments.
The violence erupted after rumors about the stabbing suspect being an undocumented migrant spread. Authorities clarified he was from Wales, and the motive remains undisclosed due to strict reporting restrictions in the UK. The incident sparked riots across cities in England and Northern Ireland.
