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.

"Im guessing that this summer the lid will come off in Europe. I will also predict the backlash will leave no doubt Europe wont put up with Islam."
I don't know. Europeans have been bending over backwards to appease Muslim demands, even going so far as to wanting to "incorporate some Sharia law". The EU is outlawing any mention of the religion of the yoots, so as to not cause hurt feelings or prejudice. Meanwhile French intellectuals stroke their chins and wonder how this might be karma for "imperialism". Maybe if some prominent leftist gets hurt will they start to take this seriously.

If the racism is so bad, why don’t they go back whence they came?

But, wait!!! The SeeB.S. 60 Minutes program said that, under their Socialist system, the Danes are the happiest people on the planet. Wha’ happened???

I only make this prediction based on the hatreds Europeans harbor and have manifested themselves in the not too distant past. Every country in Europe with few exceptions had no problems defining Jews as worthy of pogroms and I see the same thing happening as this threat becomes more apparent.

Funny I thought it had to do with the police arresting four people that suspected of planning to kill the cartoonists?
I still do
