Sssh...Another Night of Riots

Danish "youths" were buring cars, trashcans and hurling rocks at police for the 6th straight day in Denmark. But why are they rioting? Ask the police and they'll tell you..."unusually mild weather and the closure of schools for a winter break, making them easy targets, might have contributed". HAHHAHA!!!1! The same thing happens in the States during spring break....closure of school and warm weather contribute to youths burning cars getting hammered.


COPENHAGEN (Reuters) - Gangs of rioters set fire to cars and garbage trucks in northern Copenhagen on Friday, the sixth night of rioting and vandalism that has spread from the capital to other Danish cities, police said on Saturday.

Five youths were arrested in the capital on Friday after 28 cars and 35 garbage trucks were burned, Copenhagen police duty officer Jakob Kristensen told Reuters. Several youths were arrested in other Danish towns.
....
Scores of cars and several schools have been vandalized or burned in the past week. Police could give no reason, but said that unusually mild weather and the closure of schools for a winter break, making them easy targets, might have contributed.

Social workers said the reprinting of a two-year-old cartoon of the Prophet Mohammad in Danish newspapers might have fuelled the riots.

Police arrested two Tunisians and a Dane of Moroccan descent on Tuesday for planning to kill the cartoonist, and 15 Danish papers reprinted the drawing on Wednesday in protest against the alleged plot to murder him.
