Ungdomshuset Riots

Here are some pictures of the mess that the "kids" left rioting right by our church. These were actually taken about 36 hours after the riots, so the city had already cleaned up a lot of it, but the scars still remain. They burned up at least half a dozen cars and lots of newspapers, picnic tables and trash cans. They also tore bricks out of the road and threw them through windows and at policemen. Their building has since been torn down andthey are now squatting in the square in front of City Hall in downtown Copenhagen. Why anyone would supposrt these hooligans is beyond me, but they do have supporters (though not as many after the violent riots a few weeks ago).
