Amsterdam

Not for nothing, but it seems to me that when a member of your community gets shot to death after having walked into a police station and attacking armed police officers with a knife? Your community lacks moral standing to riot over the issue.

Not everyone agrees, apparently:

Police in the Dutch city of Amsterdam say several cars have been set on fire in the sixth night of unrest after officers shot a Moroccan man dead.

The 22-year old was killed after entering a police station where he stabbed two police officers.

Eleven cars have been set on fire this week in the Slotervaart district of Amsterdam, which is mainly populated by immigrants.

Police said that a group of about 35 young people were behind the trouble.

“There is a lot of police in the streets. This is the work of a few who take advantage of the situation,” said a spokesman.

The dead Moroccan man, identified as Bilal B, had been receiving treatment for psychiatric problems.

He had been questioned over contact with Islamic extremists who were linked to the murder of film maker Theo van Gogh in 2004.

About 1m of the Netherlands’ 16m population are Muslims.

    So the cops aren’t supposed to defend themselves against assault with a deadly weapon? The religion of perpetual outrage is at it again.

    Would have been shot dead here as well.

    Oh I don’t know, Therapist1. Let’s say a Code Pink devotee broke into the Berkeley Police Dept. and attacked two officers? Couldn’t happen? I bet worse has happened, maybe not recently but back when I was pounding up and down the Colco Rd.

    And let’s just imagine what would happen if said Code Pinker was shot (not even dead!) by said imaginary Berkeley Police officers? Do you not doubt that huge outrage in the MSM and the blog with the most readers, among many others?*

    I only dream that the nation can take the necessary steps to defend itself against fanaticism and evil. Alas, it’s only a dream proven an illusion again and again.

    *Rebecca Aguilar! – she’ll be ba-ack! I predict on a national network – for exposing right wing gun nuts who shoot our fine young men over mere junk.

    I just read this morning that last night was night 6, or was it 7?, of the Car-B-Q’s and mayhem over this… I must say though that they have nothing on the French. I think to date ONLY 15 cars have been torched. Pikers…

    If you want to keep up with developments in Northern Europe read Brussels Journal and links. Gates of Vienna is also a good site. It will scare the pants off you. Native citizens trapped in their own country. PC gone amuck.

    Shot photos of a double murder scene where a knife was used. If you have a gun, use it.

    Why do they have to burn the cars? What did the poor cars ever do to them? They’re just innocent by-parkers, with no dog in the fight.

    First, they come for the cars … and burn them ….
