Danish 'Youths': Police Made Us Riot

The “youths” who have been rioting in Copenhagen for 9 days have written a letter explaining that they were forced to smash windows and burn cars, by the “brutal, racist, insulting” Danish police: Youths say police harassment triggered unrest in Denmark.

COPENHAGEN, Denmark - A group of youths who have been torching cars and waste containers in the Danish capital said Tuesday the wave of unrest started as a protest against police harassment.

In a letter published in Copenhagen newspaper Politiken, the youths accused police of “brutal, racist” behavior.

It was the first time that rioting juveniles had offered any explanation for the fires that have raged for nine consecutive nights mostly in immigrant neighborhoods across the country. The authors of the letter said they would now stop rioting.

“Basically the unrest is about the way we are treated by the police, who are brutal, racist and totally unacceptably insulting,” the group said in the letter.

The authors called themselves “Boys of inner Noerrebro,” referring to the immigrant neighborhood in Copenhagen where the unrest started on Feb. 10.

Brutal? Hopefully, that means "truncheons", but I doubt it.

“What have we done to deserve the Heat, praise alah?”

“Uh, that person’s car you just torched would be a good example.”

“The devil made me do it...”

Words from an irreverent, cross-dressing comedian - I just know the Muslims are going to love that...

Ah, further proof that Musnuts are closet liberals.

1) Everything is always “somebody else’s fault”
2) If you disagree with me, you are obviously wrong.
3) Growing up is for someone else.
4) Clinging to an ancient and outmoded philosophy is a requirement.
5) Complete lack of logic and thought in all exchanges.
6) We’ll riot if we don’t get what we want.

That is what happens when lowlifes are admitted to a country.

Denmark also has the highest (or second highest after England?)concentration of outlaw bikers in Europe and perhaps the world.

Coming soon to a city near you.

I guessing that this summer the lid will come off in Europe. I will also predict the backlash will leave no doubt Europe won’t put up with Islam.

You will never see this in this country.....too many guns.
