Århus teens on the warpath again (Danish riots seem to be back on)

Police in the city of Århus were again called out to respond to disturbances in the Rosenhøj district Wednesday night

Faint reverberations of recent French immigrant riots continued in the Danish city of Århus Wednesday night, as teenagers rampaged through its Rosenhøj quarter, setting dustbins on fire, smashing shop windows, and trying to set fire to one store.

A 19-year-old boy was arrested in connection with the attempt to set the shop ablaze.

The district had seen several nights of disturbances last week as young people took to the streets smashing shop windows, hot dog stands, and setting fire to a pre-school and a fast food restaurant.

Last week's disturbances were blamed on youth gangs and a city housing association promised a DKK 10,000 reward for information leading to the arrest of those responsible.

City officials reacted to the original disturbances by entering into a dialogue involving the young people and their parents, social workers, the police, teachers, and housing association members.

The methods appeared to have worked, and the weekend had seen quiet in the quarter.

On Monday, Pia Kjærsgaard, leader of the right-wing Danish People's Party, said the disturbances should be treated as terrorist acts.

Prime Minister Anders Fogh Rasmussen, however, rejected her call, saying there was a difference between terror, the riots in France's suburban immigrant quarters, and the Århus disturbances, which he called 'pranks'.

Oh, yeah? Well, dialogue this.

=======================

Scene: Behind closed doors. City officials and police on one side of long table. Young people and their parents, social workers, teachers, and housing association members seated on the other side.

Chief City Official (reaching for pen and flipping open check book): Okay...so that's...

"19-year-old boy". I guess that's beter than if he was a "30 year old boy".

They aren't Muslims, by any chance, are they?

Pranks? Keep telling yourself that. You'll see how fast 'pranks' can spread & become out of control.

Why we have the right to own firearms here in the U.S. If this were to happen, and became a threat to my family or me, I would defend myself, my family, and my property.

Not going to wait for the touchy-feely Liberals talk about it and discuss it before they do anything or even admit that it is happening.
