Gotta say I'm impressed, clever wearing the crash helmets and throwing paint over the meatwagons so they couldn't see where they were going.
Still looking/reading.

(old) UPDATE!:

English:
§ 134 a. Participants in fights or other disturbance of the peace and order in a public place will be punished, as long they have acted by agreement with each other or in groups. Jail time: up to 1 years and 6 months



Having run out of all political alternatives that'll allow them to save their cultural centre from police eviction, the youths from Ungdomshuset in Copenhagen took to the streets today resulting in the worst clashes and riots in Denmark in more than 10 years. Bricks and paving were thrown at the police, stores was smashed and fires were lit all over the city.

Asked the question "Why are you fighting?" on of the rioters replied; "I'm fighting for my right to be who i am. The Danish state have attacked all experimental or alternative cultural places, schools and theatres. This is about more than just a house. I'm fighting for my right to be different in Denmark!"

The protests started from the house at 16:00 where the around 1000 protesters moved towards the city centre. However they didn't get more than 300 meters before the police started surrounding the crowd. Immediately stuff where thrown at the enclosing police and the fighting began. Paint, firecrackers, rocks and bottles where hurled at the cops and their cars.

Coorporate media repports three cops are in the hospital from having been struck by rocks. At least two protesters have been seriously injured. One having two fingers blown off and another from being run over by a police car.

As the crowd were chased through the city chain stores were smashed and garbage containers lit on fire and sporadic fighting with the cops occurred. Local immigrant youths joined in the fighting.

The situation right now is somewhat calmed but there's still lots of police in the streets making random arrests of everyone looking like an activist or a punk. Just now the police are closing in on the house again!

 

[kreature]

There are two definite Irish arrests. They will
probably be released tomorrow evening and
there is a strong possibility they will be
deported. They are healthy and are
being kept in good conditions.
Anyone looking for more information should pm
me.
Ungdomshuset RESISTS!

 

[the pyrate dead]

So what's the deal, if you are deported from a country, can you go back? Or is that it?

 

[nooleen]

you can't go back for 1 to 5 years for denmark according to the ABC kobenhavn site. apparently they are keen on deportation because they hate foreigns. but not in a racist way, obviously.

 

[Janer]

They're not keen exporting their lager

 

[ian bastardcore]

They are talking about closing the borders for the eviction to lower the chance of a new riot.

The Social Democrats are saying now that they want a political solution , more empty promises no doubt . The electricity company that provides ungdomshuset is refusing to switch off the electricity to the house also, for the safety of the workers.

 

[Corm]

Were you deported then Corm? Any idea as to when you are allowed back there?
Were you charged with anything?

 

[Corm]

Charged but not deported. Afraid I wasn´t going to be allowed back here for 2 or 3 years but it´s okay for now.

 

[subbuteo !]

is it because you lived/worked there so they saw you as kind of local maybe?
