Hey, no offence taken. Maybe I should have been clearer about the dates. But in Holland this sort of justice is new. A few years ago, our laws started to change when a lot of people were beaten up and no one seeing it helped them. It's a strange situation over here. People a very afraid of criminals, for we got a totaly incompetent police force and are not allowed effective selfdefense. When you beat up burglars are try to defend yourself, you can and wil be taken to court for use of violence. Many Dutch people feel the strange need to protect the criminal elements from being hurt in any way.

This sounds unbelievable, it's sad but true. Here some examples:

About a year ago police conducted an illigal weapon search in the "Bijlmer" (Amsterdam South-East, about the most criminal district we have). At the end of the day the showed the illigal weapons: there were many and BIG guns, even the NRA would be proud to see such a collection. But than our "liberal" lefties decided that it was discrimination to do a an illigal weapon search in the Bijlmer. They are right someway: in the Bijlmer there are almost no white people. Either they get mugged or raped all day and move away, or they are killed just for walking on the street. Amsterdam has recently been "promoted" to violence capital of Europe (taken the lead over from London), there are 4 to 5 times as many murders than in Rome (seen per 100.000 citizens). The bottom line is that the police are not allowed to take the illigal arms from criminals anymore.

Also our police is allowed only to shoot back in a firefight when the baddies almost have put their gun to the police their forheards. If the police decide to shoot back, an inquiry is made and mostly the police bite the dust for "excessive use of violence"!

I hope Americans will read these warnings and make sure that the lefties don't make the entire US helpless victims of criminals.

BTW, I live in Helden, a town in the south. It is located near Venlo (Limburg). Nice story about the restaurant.
