Dutch Comedian House Raided for Possession of Prop Gun

YouTube video combines the original 1-minute comedy skit with the arrival of the police to confiscate the airgun/prop gun. Turn on captions with English translation.

On Tuesday, March 12, 2024, Dutch absurdist comedian Hans Teeuwen uploaded a video mocking Amsterdam Mayor Femke Halsema. On the table to Teeuwen’s right was an object looking somewhat similar to a pistol. The item may have been included as a jab at the past trouble the Mayor found herself in.  Her teenage son was arrested with a deactivated revolver owned by her husband and said to be used as a prop in movie sets.

Three hours after comedian Teeuwen posted the mocking video, six Amsterdam police arrived and appeared to have found the same object on the same table. From the video, it appears one of the officers placed the object in an evidence bag and took possession of it.

According to Wikipedia, air guns are legal in the Netherlands and can be freely acquired by anyone over the age of 18. A website for a shop in Boernerbroek, Netherlands, advertises a number of air pistols for sale.

The possession of air guns and toy guns that resemble firearms is prohibited in the Netherlands. In recent years, “To resemble” has been given a broad interpretation.

This is a Webley Tempest air pistol that I own. When placed at a similar angle, the resemblance to the object on Hans Teeuwen's table is remarkable.This is a Webley Tempest air pistol that I own. When placed at a similar angle, the resemblance to the object on Hans Teeuwen’s table is remarkable.

The original video does not have great resolution. It does not show the knurling which is done on the back of the Webley Tempest

Amsterdam was a toilet full of Moroccan and Russian trash in 1997.
I can only imagine how wonderful it is now.

A message is sent to the public by such actions: stay away from anything resembling a firearm, or you can be in big trouble. Guns are bad. Stay away. Brick by brick, such authoritarian actions are the stuff of which tyranny is created

If the mayor gets away with this, they are already living in tyranny.

Thank god the police have removed that dangerous air pistol from the streets. Just think of all the harm that could be done with it! Somebody could get a painful welt or two on the skin from one of the bb’s it shoots!

Isn’t Amsterdam the largest red light district and drug emporium in the world?

That’s certainly how it seemed to me. A “Russian” man offered me crack, and then whores in front of my girlfriend…I declined.

None of the women I saw were Dutch, all SEA women.
Moroccans seemed to own most of the “hash” bars.

Amsterdam is the ugliest city, I have ever visited.
Stopped there for a half of a day. Nothing but whores, sex shops and “cafes” serving drugs.
Roads and facilities were big mess, all in various stages of disrepair.

Heck, 30 years ago Amsterdam was a filthy toilet... I can’t imagine it being any better.

I enjoyed myself far more in Eindhoven, the “Ardennes”, and Luxembourg City.

Another white nation punishing the white natives for the actions of violent imported trash.
