Party Vibe

did you mean a Danish user? I’m not sure if many Danish open proxies exist and TBH its a lot of hassle to see something that would probably eventually turn up unedited on youtube or Indymedia anyway.

incidentally the reason you can’t see it is unlikely to be a “conspiracy” in Denmark but a political or commercial decision – they don’t want people who haven’t paid the Danish TV license seeing the content.

Just read on the news that Norwegian activists have told that it was German activists who started it all last night..

not looking good for anybody now….

I wonder if some of the demonstrators were merely there to cause trouble though, perhaps they even were from the right wing (fascists)?

people have the right to protest but burning the cars and the middle school [1] is extremely counterproductive.

I am not sure about what insurance laws are like in Denmark but i suspect its the same across the EU – and if something is destroyed through “riot” the insurers can refuse to pay out anything to those who lose their property..

plus although most teenagers don’t like school, if the place is burned around this time of year all their books and coursework for exams and computer data on hard drives has gone up in smoke

this usually means they get an “average” grade across the whole school which is lower than what many of the cleverer students would have got – and of course this has wider consequences when they compete for university or high school places…

if that happened to my school just before spring/summer exams I think it would make me become angry and ultra-conservative rather than support left wing activism :hopeless: (and I hated school and exams)

Isn’t this the type of school that the “cleverer” teenagers would go to anyway, so they are already going to be more likely to be influenced by “middle class” views?

and the other locals can now argue that they can’t give away a building for a “new” ungdomshuset as they need to build a new school now :hopeless:

[1] in English, the term “gymnasium” normally just means a place to do sports and get fit, rather than a place of secondary education (although the European use of this word is more in line with its original Greek usage)

yep thats the sort of thing I meant…. perhaps I should have explained it better…

these kids are intelligent, come from backgrounds where they are encouraged to think for themselves, and are at the formative stage in their lives when they start thinking about society and politics…

some might understand the wider picture, but for others they will just see their school has been destroyed by a bunch of “thugs”, many of whom are from other countries;

Their lives are disrupted and things they created such as their coursework (stuff like art portfolios etc which are often stored in class due to their size) have been destroyed…

this is the sort of thing that could make someone at age 15/16 turn against progressive thinking, become suspicious and angry of foreigners, and just feel that police/army are the best way or dealing with this, some (particularly young men) might even decide to join the uniformed services because of this…

it just seems so counterproductive, what they have done here…

it is really worrying as there seems no way out – I suspect the right wing parties of government and even the EU is putting pressure on Denmark not to give in as it sets a precedent for many other nations that rioting works…

Have just talked to Sinner on the phone..

I’m soooooooo glad to know he’s ok :weee: :group_hug

The police have trashed a house in Copenhagen called Folkets Hus (peoples house) in search for foreigners ..

They didn’t find any,only people in the house was an old man doing some work.. The police didn’t have a search warrant and they have smashed all the doors in the house , emptied cupboards and made a really big mess and then just left again..Sinner is at this house trying to clean up the mess,and guard the house..

They have arrested a group of people who works for Ungdomshuset..

People who works as legal aids to the people in prison,It have been said that the riots will be very bad tonight if the police don’t release them.

The people in Copenhagen are scared,but most of them want the kids to have a place..

Sinner say Hi..
